LVMC Block Party in May
¡El Playlist! is back in May with a little twist
Every May there’s something different that happens around here. The last two years we’ve celebrated Non-Mom May.
This year, I decided to give myself a break from content creation—including the podcast.1
I’ve decided to collaborate with some of my favorite shows and asked them to drop their trailers in my feed instead. So every Monday through Friday you’ll be getting a tiny taste of new podcasts you might also like.
And then you’ll get a recap on Fridays. Here’s this week’s lineup:
Six Degrees of Cats
Why I like it: it’s the best show on the internet, hands down. Subscribe so you don’t miss season 3 coming soon!
Description: Why were cats gods in ancient Egypt but Satan’s familiar by Europe’s Middle Ages? Why do serial killers and despots hate cats? When did cats get into jazz? And how the heck does all of this random cat stuff connect to us in the here and now? Listen to 6 Degrees of Cats, the world’s #1 (and only) cat-themed culture, history and science podcast to join cat worshipper Amanda B. as she investigates these and other hard hitting questions with a diversity of guest experts from across the globe. Subscribe now, and join the clowder by visiting http://www.6degreesofcats.com or follow @6degreesofcats on all major social media platforms.

Sex in Spanglish
Why I like it: it’s about sex, yo! And also from a culturally relevant lens. ‘Nuff said.
Description: Learn about sex from your favorite Latina, sexpert and Certified Sex & Life Coach: Ana Lopez, MSW, MEd. Ana empowers mujeres to get in touch with their bodies and own their pleasure so they can discuss their deseos con confianza. Interested in discussing all the cochinadas your abuela didn't tell you about? Sex in Spanglish has all the chisme!

NoseyAF: conversations about art, activism, and social change
Why I like it: Steph isn’t afraid to have tough conversations about what being a working artist is really like
Description: Ever wonder what ignites the creative spark in inspiring artists, change-fighting activists, and even my neighbor who practices synchronized swimming in their inflatable pool every morning? That's me, Stephanie Graham, artist, and filmmaker, diving deep with these movers and shakers on the noseyAF Podcast. Every other week, we'll explore their journeys and the secrets to making a difference and uncover captivating narratives. Step into their creative worlds, ignite your curiosity and discover the inspiration that shapes landscapes and builds a better world. As an artist, I'm passionate about weaving these stories into my work. We'll explore the challenges and routines that fuel success, venture behind the scenes, and share updates on my artistic journey. Join the noseyAF community – every episode is an invitation to explore, learn, and grow together!
The Gay Podcast for Everyone
Why I like it: Angela is particularly talented at creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, and that’s exactly what this podcast is like too. Plus, her voice and entire demeanor are incredibly calming.
Description: When I came out to my family, I was essentially asking them to come on this new journey with me. They were now the family of an LGBTQ+ person, and it was new to all of us.
In this podcast, I chat with parents who chose unconditional love over fear and whose supportive conversations are helping to keep the closet door open. I also chat with folx in my LGBTQ+ community, who share their stories so that parents, families, and friends can listen in and understand the journey more.
You don't have to understand the journey to choose unconditional love, and unconditional love doesn't mean you don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation. Let's talk about it!

Heartbeat Narratives
Why I like it: in this season of life, I’m all about leaning into ease (more easily said than done). And podcasters with calming voices like Molly’s really help make that a reality.
Description: Welcome to Heartbeat Narratives, a podcast celebrating the passions, places and people that we love. Based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, guests from the islands and beyond share their stories of joy by exploring what makes their hearts beat. Host, Molly Noelaniokekai Gismervik Mamaril, intends for this podcast to be an uplifting space where we glimpse the inner lives and interests of different people through organic conversations. She feels that everyone has a valuable story and that we can cultivate meaningful relationships by leading with curiosity and aloha.
