    LAS ROLAS OF OUR LIVES (SEASON FINALE!) - EP # 13

    Holi holi, Paletitas! Welcome back to Las Paleteras! It’s your favorite trio—Nalgona, Ana-Shelia, and Cesar—back together for one last desmadre before we wrap up Season 1. We can’t believe we’ve made it to the end of our first season! Today’s episode we catch up on life, our growing audience, and (of course) Nalgona’s latest questionable tattoo decision. Then, we dive into the soundtrack of our lives—those rolonas that move our souls. From the songs that make us cry to the ones that transport us to a Sunday cleaning session with mom, we’re playing a fast-paced game of Musical Paletitas and breaking down the top five songs that define our lives. As we come to the end of Season 1, we reflect on our favorite moments, the wildest highlights (shoutout to Garras and Lánzate), and the topics we still need to cover. Plus, we’re manifesting some dream guests for next season! Gracias for rocking with us, Paletitas! This season wouldn’t have been the same without you. Make sure to like, comment, and share Las Paleteras—and don’t forget to tell us about the music that defines your life. See you next season! —--------------------- Las Paleteras is a spicy, energetic, and mindful podcast hosted by Los Angeles based queer Latinx artists Cesar Camacho, Ana Sheila, and Jose Richard Aviles alias Nalgona.

    Embracing Our Señora Era - EP # 9

    Welcome back Paletitas! In this episode, Ana Sheila, César Camacho, and Jose Richard aka Nalgona dive into a topic that can be both scary and liberating: aging. From personal experiences with shifting habits to the broader societal pressures around getting older, we unpack it all. We explore the fears and joys of aging, the difference between real age and biological age, and the unique challenges faced by different communities. How do we navigate aging as queer folks? How do we deal with aging parents? How do we challenge the patriarchal systems that make growing older feel like a loss rather than a gain? We also discuss practical ways to embrace aging with grace, including cultivating a positive mindset and finding role models who redefine what it means to grow older. Plus, we share key takeaways on longevity and well-being—hint: move your body and nurture your relationships! Join us as we get real about wrinkles, wisdom, and the beauty of growing older.

    Finding Home with Johanna Toruño - EP # 8

    ¡Hola hola Paletitas! Welcome back to another episode of Las Paleteras! Before we begin the episode, we’d like to acknowledge the devastating fires that engulfed the Los Angeles area, the place that most of the Paleteras team calls home. Our community has heartbreakingly lost their homes, belongings, pets, and even family members. Our hearts go out to all those affected by the fires. This episode explores the concept of home and what we’ve seen so far through these fires affirms that home is not just a place, but it’s in the people we cry, break bread, and rebuild with. We’re starting the year with a conversation that will hopefully warm your heart and spark introspection. We’re joined by the incredible art activist Johanna Toruño, founder of the Unapologetic Street Series. Together, we dive into the ever-evolving question: What is home? Johanna shares her journey as an artist, immigrant, and dreamer—revealing the transformative power of creating home in unexpected places. From first memories of home to navigating the complexities of being undocumented, we explore the joys and heartbreaks of belonging. This episode is packed with laughter, tears, and deep connections. Along the way, Johanna’s stories of returning to El Salvador, our hosts’ reflections on moving to Mexico, and the unique paths we’ve all taken to redefine “home” will leave you inspired. Grab your favorite paleta, settle in, and join us for this beautiful conversation on Home.
