8 JUL 2026 · In the last few years a suffix took over the internet: "-maxxing"! First it was "looksmaxxing", then as all trends do, it multiplied! From fiber-maxxing, protein-maxxing, to beauty-maxxing, there's always room for self-improvement according to your algorithm. In this episode, Diosa and Mala dig into the internet origins of "-maxxing", how it jumped from niche forums into the mainstream, and why a simple suffix became apart of the cultural zeitgeist. Las Locatoras ask what this trend says about the current societal moment, self-improvement, and performance in late stage capitalism. Diosa and Mala also share how they're -maxxing their own lives.   Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/magazine/on-language-maxxing.html https://www.newyorker.com/culture/critics-notebook/the-captivating-derangement-of-the-looksmaxxing-movement https://www.salon.com/2026/05/07/enough-with-the-maxxing/ https://time.com/collections/time100-voices/6324637/dolly-parton-behind-the-seams-fashion/ https://www.history.com/articles/zoot-suit-riotshttps://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

24 JUN 2026 · This week, Diosa and Mala welcome Becca Ramos to discuss her experience as a Puerto Rican in Texas, far from the diaspora cities most people associate Boricuas with.

3 JUN 2026 · What does it signify when Latino/Latinx artists perform on a global stage? And is representation and visibility ever enough? This episode digs into one performance that dominated cultural conversation this past spring: Colombian pop star, Karol G, was the first Latina to headline Coachella, but her set came with a mix of celebration and critique. This week Diosa and Mala dig into the cost of visibility for Latino/Latinx artists. Do these artists owe us political activism? And what does it signify when they don't meet that need? Tune in to find out!  Sources: https://variety.com/2026/music/columns/karol-g-ice-warn-taking-visa-away-1236709992/ https://danielalvarenga.substack.com/p/los-hermanos-flores-used-coachella https://www.calonews.com/featured-topics/culture/controversy-surrounds-mariachi-reyna-de-los-ngeles-after-performing-with-karol-g-at-coachella/article_ab3a3969-bc4e-40fa-8db1-6b28f2dd1037.html https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/the-deal-trump-bukele-gangs-el-salvador/ https://www.instagram.com/amberfriastv/reel/DXLWNNSD09m/   https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

8 APR 2026 · This week, Diosa and Mala discuss Latino representation in media, sparked by backlash over white actress Odessa A'zion being cast as a Latina character in an upcoming A24 film. Together, they review a https://www.mediaimpactproject.org/latinorepresentation.html conducted by USC's Norman Lear Center, which highlights that Latino-led/Latino-created shows offer a more nuanced representation of Latinidad. (OBVIO!!) They also consider how digital media has lowered the barrier to entry for Latino/Latine talent. Will AI also lower the barrier to entry or is there another risk for bias? Please note this episode was recorded in early March. And there's some loud background noise at times, sorry! https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
