Is COVID-19 the end of the world as we know it? American capitalism has not adequately responded to the pandemic. The government is more concerned with profits than people. COVID and 2020 taught us hard lessons, both personal and on a grand scale. We must work collectively to take care of each other. We must ensure that healthcare is guaranteed as a human right. We must ensure that people are not robbed of basic human rights because of poverty or greed. There is no debate. This model is not...

What is sex education? In school, a lot of us were taught a traditional definition of sex that was not inclusive and did not shed light on the importance of consent . Hence, we are gathered here today to define and decolonize sexuality and sex ed. Reproduction and virginity constructs are discussed. Traditional notions are challenged. And we attempt to come up with our own definitions of sex. If you want to kick back and hear us talk nonsense in LQ, this is the sex education podcast for you.

American democracy is an illusion, as is the two party system. There is only one party: the party of the rich. We live in an oligarchy that runs this country like a business, extending the benefits of the population's labor only to the richest among us. Some say that the system is broken. But this was all made by design. No progress is made because the two party system doesn't work... for us. It works for the top 1%. It NEEDS to be abolished. Only a pluralistic government save us from the...

Gabriela Rodriguez and John Paul Mejia from the Cleo Institute's House on Fire podcast join us to explain environmental racism and climate gentrification in Miami, particularly Little Haiti. We discuss concerns and solutions on how to best combat climate change. The most important thing to remember is: the fight against climate change and racial injustice are one and the same.

Growing up Cuban American in South Florida is an entirely different experience than growing up in Cuba. The material conditions have led to a difference in perception, culture, and politics. The two groups are often at odds. Many Cubans agree with the socialist pillars of the 1959 Revolution. But Miami exiles loathe that Castro's communism and authoritarianism. The US embargo has contributed to the tension. Here to do a deep dive with us is Cuban blogger and influencer Marissa Daniela (IG:...

Anti-blackness in the Latinx community is rampant and unabridged. Racism is too prevalent in Hispanic spaces and the reckoning needs to happen NOW. Vidas Negras Importan and Vidas Negras Importam have surged throughout Latin America. Police brutality, discrimination, and underrepresentation of Afro-Latinos IS a widespread issue, from Brazil to Colombia to the diaspora in the US. The untaught history of Afro Latinos has created a racial struggle of erasure and invisibility. NO MORE.

What is Kamala Harris' prosecution record, exactly? What was she known for before she became the Democratic Party's and Joe Biden's Vice Presidential nominee? What was her job? We're here to break that down for you... As California's top cop, her record includes a long compilation of draconian measures that hurt black people. More than her genealogy or her ethnicity, her enforcement of the War on Drugs and emphasis on criminalization will be remembered by those it had a direct impact on Black...

Is cancel culture good or bad? Is cancel culture even a thing? I guess the answers depend on what is the definition of cancel culture. Some believe you can never be woke enough, that the movement to cancel people is toxic and has gone too far. But others argue cancel culture isn't a thing. Powerful people are still in high places, and take advantage of others on a daily basis. Fake outrage won't get us anywhere, but neither will complacency and silence. Pick your poison.

Is Instagram culture toxic? Instagram culture can be vain, but why is Instagram ruining your life? The toxic beauty standards modeled by Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and other bad influencers can be dangerous for people. We feel the pressure to conform to Instagram thot culture or the toxic beauty community for acceptance and validation. Social media addiction has damned us all, so it's time for a detox. If you think Instagram influencers are the worst, join us in this conversation.

We are joined by Miami therapist Esther Gomez to discuss coping with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, sexual abuse, and trauma.

And Barbie spills on her hoe adventures. Be warned: sex-positve feminism cumming your way! Hope you guys enjoy the ASMR courtesy of Barbie's dog.

In this podcast episode, we talk about the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. As Miami natives, we have grievances about the government response to coronavirus. Individualist ideals, right-wing media misinformation, and an eagerness to reopen the economy have created a crisis. Florida is at the epicenter. Hear us rant about the healthcare system, the prioritization of profit over people, and the ineptitude of “leaders” like Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Sean Hannity. Just remember to...

In this episode, we talk about the criminalization of immigration for Latinx folks, along with the movement to abolish ICE, close the camps, and end the prison-industrial complex. Reports have revealed that ICE is poisoning detainees at the Adelanto and Galdes County Detention Centers. The events renew comparisons Nazi Germany concentration and Japanese internment camps. We analyze the historical similarities and debunk the myth that immigrants are responsible for higher rates of crime and...

In this podcast episode, we talk about racism and mass incarceration. Since the passing of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter protests have sprouted throughout the country. People are calling to end police brutality and defund the police. But to ensure racial equality, equity, and justice for black Americans, we must also understand the system and history behind mass incarceration. In this episode, we talk about a number of concepts and policies that encompass this very large system.
