Description
Amigues! Guess what! Today we are talking all about the media that raised us: TELENOVELAS! We’re talking to two special guests. Dr. Melixa Abad-Izquierdo takes us through the history of the Teleteatro (which we could call a predecessor to Novelas) and draws a direct line from Mexican media of the late 50s to the classics we know and love! We’re also joined by Sergio Gonzalez (future Doctora) for a fun conversation on our favorite novelas, protagonists and villanas! What a rabbit hole of nostalgia this was! Hope you enjoy!   Also make sure to follow us social media: @AbadMelixa @frutafresca.podcast @soynalgona   Lastly, make sure to review and subscribe to the podcast so you're the first to know when a new episode drops!   Produced by Marginal Mediaworks, Inc.
