Comedian and content creator Eric Sedeño, aka TikTok’s favorite bestie, gets comfy with us on our new couch (!!!) to talk all things internet, old reality TV, and the origins of meme culture. Eric’s path from internet creator to actor is deeply tied to his personality, and we learn more about his serious side. Yet again, our guest recommends Thatiana get on the Real Housewives wagon (it’ll happen one day, we promise!). Down to a T Hosted by Thatiana Diaz (T), this unfiltered and cultura...

Another week, another fun guest — and this episode’s guest is stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster Samantha Santos. She is a crime film and doc enthusiast and we get into some of our favorite tropes. We talk about getting started as a comedian, unhinged behavior from dog parents, the art of couch rotting, and how Thatiana needs to start watching the Real Housewives franchise ASAP. Samantha decides to be brave and admit that she did not like Tiger King, and you know what? We agree. ...

Returning guest Eddin Martinez brings his crew, Juan Bago and Jaime Fernandez, hosts of the newest film review podcast out there, Cine Papis. We get into the weeds of discussing Latine representation in film, and how they go about talking about movies that feature Latino directors, actors, themes, and sometimes those problematic characters we can’t hate (wink wink, Nacho Libre and Tony Montana). They explain their Papi Points rating system and how deep they can get into the cultural impact of...

We’ve been in our vulnerable era! This episode, featuring journalist and creator Grecia Lopez, has been one of our favorites. Grecia talks about making more conscious choices in her life, from how she spends her time to how she chooses the people around her, and she opens up about her issues with infertility, how she thought she didn’t want kids, infertility while dating and shares surprising statistics about fertility rates in the U.S. We absolutely loved sharing this moment with her, and we...

This episode was a JOURNEY fam. Music executive & founder of the Global Tumbao DJ collective, Albert Piedrahita, talks us through his various perspectives on the current Latin music landscape (and his dream collaboration!). We also discuss the challenges of being vulnerable as a Latino man and how the process of healing from adversity and loss can lead to a deeper relationship with ourselves. Albert is a community builder, and after you listen to this episode, you’ll understand why he’s b...

This week’s guest: YOU. Our mid-year Q&A is here, and y’all did not disappoint with these questions. You went to the deep stuff, and we love it.

This has been a long time coming, fam. Our friend Michelle Disla, formerly Big Mama Cooks, talks about her social media rebrand after the pandemic, and how sometimes the algorithm can pigeonhole you into doing the same thing over and over again to keep that engagement up. She shared a lot of insights about how gaining social media fame can be used to make people happy and make an impact. We also get into some fun topics like social media comments and the secret (or not so secret) tricks we do...

Give it up for stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Carlos Hernandez. This episode takes us through the ever-present experience surrounding bicultural and bilingual comedy, and navigating multicultural spaces as Latine immigrants. Carlos and Thati talk about using difficult moments, and turning them into comedy, creating opportunities to talk about touchy political subjects in this current climate, and being affectionate with our Latino dads. And yes, we’re talking about Labubus again. ...

Tulio is back! After some months away, our producer Tulio joins Thatiana back in the studio for a quick kiki. We are already halfway through the year so we thought we’d check in with you** and with each other (aww 🥹) and talk about the highs and the lows of 2025 so far, the music we’ve listened to, and really some of the weirdest cultural events we’ve seen in our lifetime including but not limited to the truly bizarre Labubu trend. **Special shout out to Bad Bunny, and we’ll be a little thirs...

Actress, singer, writer, and director Florencia Cuenca joins us for a very fun conversation about dog parents, spoiling TV shows, why we need to drop the expectation that women have to know how to cook, and the current state of Latine representation in media and live shows. We discuss her Broadway debut in the new hit, "Real Women Have Curves," and what it means to be a Mexican immigrant in the theater community. Disclaimer: The episode was filmed before the announcement of the Broadway show ...

Stand-up comedian and podcast host Ian Lara joins Thati in a long-awaited meetup (he was going to be one of our first guests, but the snowstorm of 2024 changed our plans!). We talk about Ian’s upbringing and how that has informed his comedic style, the industry pressures to act a certain way or talk about “Latino things”, drinking etiquette, and the current state of cancel culture. Ian also teased his upcoming comedy special, which will be released soon, so definitely follow him! Down to a T ...

Self-proclaimed ex-girlboss and entrepreneur Lissette Rios joins Thatiana for an emotional rollercoaster, ranting against corporate-speak, stepping away from the “girlboss” mentality, and how the late 90s/early 2000s narrative about “having it all” put a lot of professional women in a box. Lissette talks through the many ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and we’re especially grateful for her vulnerability as she shares her experience with fertility issues and making some tough choices along ...

Dietitian and author of The Latina Anti-Diet, Dalina Soto, joins the pod to go into some dieting myths and the history of how Latinos eat. She shares her journey as a registered dietitian and speaks in a very approachable way when it comes to dieting culture, which has been resonating a lot with her audience. We talk overrated food trends, the unwarranted criticism of rice in allegedly healthy diets, and the chaos of latino family meals. There’s a stigma around “ethnic” foods that paints them...

In our second episode, a partnership with Neutrogena, we have the incredible La Cassandra, who shows us a side of her beyond what you see on stage. We kick things off by commiserating about the struggles with getting our hair to bend to our will, only to realize that the best thing we can do for our peace of mind is letting our hair be whatever it wants to be. We speak about the role our communities play in keeping the culture and the traditions alive that allow for our music to thrive, and h...

We are thrilled to have the one and only Tefi Pessoa on the pod! She and Thatiana talk about their POV as Latinas in the media, and get into a nuanced conversation about Latinidad, and also, who decides what makes someone Latino? Is it the language, the food, the culture? And why do some people get to be the ones who decide? We also talk about dedicating our hard work to ourselves, the need for more Latin Horror films, and Tefi’s ongoing feud with airplane food. Down to a T Hosted by Th...

This one’s special, y’all! We have our first trio of guests on the pod, with The Kid Mero, Rainey Ovalle, and Lizbel Ortiz from Victory Light bringing in that high energy from start to finish. We laugh (perhaps a bit too much), but we also find the time to get vulnerable and talk about what it means to keep it real and to do things because you like them, even if they’re not paying the bills. Many jokes about the roles our Dominican dads played in our lives, being raised by strong women, and t...

Lifestyle and fashion content creator Chelsea Vaughn came down to the studio and gave us some big *moving* news, learning to speak Spanish, and shared some “aha” moments for when you’re navigating your 30s. We talk about the joys of putting in the effort into ourselves now that we’re grown, and since we’re in our thirties this means it’s a few years of back to back weddings we must attend so we obviously talk about wedding etiquette, do’s and dont’s and what is the right plus one policy. ...
