La Frontera Within: Recent Episodes

After almost two years of podcasting, it was high time to create my own audio for the podcast intro. I'm embarrassed and ashamed to admit my prior intro was AI-generated. As I've continued to podcast, I've become more and more anti-AI. This, combined with how the podcast has evolved, gave me enough inspiration to create a new intro. And learn a whole new workflow and tool! In this episode, please enjoy or laugh at my first attempts at making beats, and I hope you are inspired to try something new yourself!

Where does the book I'm Starting to Worry About this Big Black Box of Doom by Jason Pargin intersect with the message of the No Kings Protest? Attention is Trump's most powerful tool. Don't give him your attention and stay focused on what matters. Support our immigrant communities, swipe away from rage bait, and vote!

With Taylor Swift's latest album release The Life of a Showgirl we cannot lose sight of Taylor Swift's status as a billionaire. In this deep dive, I discuss why Taylor Swift is not an example of an ethical billionaire, my album review, and the cardigan I crocheted to celebrate. I am a Swiftie and I have questions and critiques.

With the imminent release of The Life of a Showgirl, I'm curious what impact we will see in internet language and culture. The Eras Tour changed the way we think about our lives and interests in a way that is completely different from before the tour started. If Taylor Swift has only become a bigger phenomenon since the end of the tour, Showgirl could make a huge linguistic impact.

It is hard to avoid AI right now, it's EVERYWHERE but there is hope. We have seen this same sense of complete overwhelm and total product proliferation successfully stopped and reversed before. Just look at the rise and fall of radium use in the US in the 1920s. As artists and writers, we must speak out to preserve creativity and learning.

With the constant news about tariffs and the impending recession, I've returned to my 2008 girl-self. I'm watching Poptropica walkthroughs, playing "girl games," and most importantly, escaping into the world of Infinity Nikki. To stay informed without going insane, my strategy has been to find a pocket of joy, escapism, and whimsy.
