Plus, they go on a tangent about Guillermo Del Toro's, Frankenstein, and it definitely connects!!

In this episode, Diosa and Mala reflect on what it means to be critiqued in real time. They've been sitting with a recent critique in a new publication, Radiophonic Feminisms: Latina Voices in the Digital Age of Broadcasting by Ester Díaz Martín. Díaz Martin began her research in 2018, when they were still independent podcasters. Years later, her book was published, and it credits las Locatoras as the creators of “radiophonic."

There's a clear shift from an affirmative analysis of the early podcast days to a more complicated critique of growth inside a corporate structure. She points out how their femme sound, feminist ideas, and dynamic shaped early episodes, and how later production process “complicates the feminist praxis.”

In this episode, they hold space for expansiveness and evolution to art. How do all of us navigate growth without losing our core values? And how do we balance the nuance of creating within capitalism?

In this episode, Diosa and Mala unpack the intersections of AI, the creative industry, and the environment. They explore how a startup is creating AI-hosted podcasts, AI tools users can’t opt out of, and why we should all be reading Fahrenheit 451. Diosa and Mala spotlight self-surveillance and the hidden costs of data centers draining water, often in rural, low-income areas which adds layers to environmental racism and community harm.
