What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I could not feel more seen with this podcast! I love Maria’s narration of random-ish (but not that random!) topics that have crossed my mind every now and then. From seemingly innocuous “gossip” like Mariah and Luis Miguel, but getting into the real talk with race and culture. And a reflection on Ricky Martin’s career and how Barbara seriously tried to force him to come out (!!). That did not age well…All that to say -love it all. Thanks, Maria! I feel like I’m listening to a like-minded friend talk through some insightful things, while still trying to keep it light. Highly recommend.

I love the way that Maria composes her podcasts, there is so much heart and history in the stories she tells.

McRiguez · Aug 2026

Maria Garcia is such a periodista chingona. I love her beautiful voice, the lyrical physical sound and the dreamy prose. She weaves storytelling, historical context, a recognition of what we owe to Black artists and culture bearers, and a delivery that feels like loving chisme. I’m always here for her take on cultural moments. She is the bestie of my dreams, taking me back to formative memories of being a Mexicana en el Norte and reminding us how we got here, porque el viaje es lo más dulce.
