Blasts from the Past
Volume 33 of ¡El Playlist! celebrates the long departed (plus an event!)
Happy holiday weekend for those who celebrate. In the theme of celebrating the past, here are two now-defunct podcasts. But just because something isn’t new anymore, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be acknowledged and even enjoyed, so let’s blast back to some older shows.
The BatNick Show
Description: This podcast is dedicated to exploring various tracks, poems and thoughts of mine. I liken the show to being a theater for the mind. A soundscape for you to listen and engage with as you are going somewhere or relaxing after a long day.
🎧Listen to The BatNick Show here (only on Spotify)
Episode recommendation: former host Nick, the son of Ecuadorean parents, suggests dipping into the short run of the podcast with any of the scores of my life series. It starts with Chapter 5: The Scores of My Life.
Creatividad en Ñ
Description: Creatividad en EÑE es un podcast en espaÑol que nace en una sala de Clubhouse. Superama y Jucel, dos mujeres creativas e ilustradoras venezolanas, crearon este espacio para hablar de creatividad en español.
En cada episodio de este PODCAST DE CREATIVIDAD EN ESPAÑOL escucharás entrevistas a expertos en diversos temas, quienes durante una hora responden no solo las preguntas de Amaranta Martínez y Jucel Meneses sino también las del público que se une a la transmisión EN VIVO en la red social Clubhouse, desde donde se graba este podcast.
Translation:
Creatividad en EÑE is a podcast in Spanish that was born in a Clubhouse room. Superama and Jucel, two Venezuelan creative women and illustrators, created this space to talk about creativity in Spanish.
In each episode of this CREATIVITY PODCAST IN SPANISH you will hear interviews with experts on various topics, who for an hour answer not only the questions of Amaranta Martínez and Jucel Meneses but also those of the public who joins the LIVE broadcast on the social network Clubhouse, where this podcast is recorded.

In case you missed it, I’m famous now!
Haha, kidding. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express have a viral post last week that we’re turning into 2 episodes. The reasons why are in this post, and I’d love for you to participate.
To get in on the fun, read the post below and give me your least charitable way to inform people to leave their kids at home for a wedding. Some examples are provided.
We’ll use ALL the ones that come from Substack in that episode, so if you’d also like to be famous*, check it out!
Going Viral over Adult-Only Weddings
Last week, in a completely unexpected turn of events, a Threads post asking a simple question about the wording for wedding invitations blew up: The question was: Wedding invitations: what do YOU think is the classiest way to say “this is a childfree wedding?”

For So Cal Fans
On Wednesday, July 24th I’m speaking at The V Collective Sisterhood Wednesdays:
This month's topic is inspired by the podcast “La Vida Más Chévere”, with host Paulette Erato leading us into the concept of "Otherhood”, which celebrates women who thrive outside traditional roles of motherhood, offering a space to connect, share experiences, and find empowerment. Through engaging discussions and activities, we'll explore the diverse paths of womanhood, honor our unique journeys, and build a supportive community. Whether you're navigating career ambitions, personal passions, or anything in between, this event is for you. Let's redefine and embrace our multifaceted identities together!
