    Are Latino Drug Lord Stories Worth Telling?

    Joanna and Jenny discuss whether or not shows like the new series GRISELDA are good for Latinos in Hollywood or just perpetuate harmful stereotypes, why the limited number of Latino TV shows and movies mean that nobody is ever happy with what’s being released, and if the real harm to Latino representation in the entertainment industry is being done by the Latinos who are currently in power. (PLUS it’s raining in L.A. and everybody is freaking out!)

    Jenny and Joanna chat about Joanna’s move to L.A. (for good this time) and share fun facts and anecdotes behind the reasons why various cities around the world are iconic.

My favorite, most relatable podcast ever

I love Jenny and Joanna!! They both have amazing ways to talk about interesting topics, stories, and intricacies of what it means to be hyphenated. I’m a Colombian American 25yr old woman who lives in south Florida so I relate so much to their stories and I feel like they’re my friends when I listen to the podcast. I’ve listened to all the episodes probably 3 times each because I miss them so much. I know they said they were taking a break but I NEED JENNY AND JOANNA BACK!! They were with me on my commute to my very toxic job at the time and they were the comic relief I needed to take on my day. I hope they can make their return soon so I can hear more of their stories
