Living La Vida Más Chévere Through Podcasts
Another set of diverse Latine podcasts to close out Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 in Volume 5 of ¡El Playlist!
This week’s ¡El Playlist! includes attacks on cultural toxicity, career pivots, first gen struggles, and life between two identities. You’ll find something that speaks to all Latines in this list.
And since it’s the final weekend of Latine/Hispanic Heritage Month, ¡El Playlist! is switching up a little bit. From now on (until next year’s L/HHM?) this recommendation list will come out weekly-ish with 2-4 new recommendations.
There are so many Latines out here doing the damn thing, and they all deserve a spot on this list. If you follow a podcast you haven’t seen highlighted yet, leave a link to it in the comments.

La Vida Más Chévere: Through the Childfree Lens
Hi, that’s me!
Paulette Erato hosts La Vida Más Chévere: Through the Childfree Lens, a biweekly Spanglish-language podcast about living your best life, from the childfree perspective. That life starts with dismantling the toxic cultural BS we've all grown up with in Latinidad. One of the most harmful norms in our society is the value placed on only a certain type of "family,” the kind that childfree Latines are never going to produce. In this society it's easy to feel invisible, lonely, and even ashamed if you don't have children. And that's BS.
As a former photographer, Paulette is used to viewing the world from an unconventional vantage point and invites us all to re-examine the cultural norms we've simply come to accept by shifting our focus to determine what is actually true and what is BS.
