About three years ago, Sonoro and iHeartMedia announced a new deal to co-produce a slate of podcasts for My Cultura, iHeartMedia’s new podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and creators, while also sharing the Latinx experience with millions of listeners.
First in
the slate was Princess of South Beach, a 36-part modern audio telenovela series available in both English
and Spanish, making it widely available to bicultural and bilingual
listeners around the world.
"At
Sonoro, we believe Hollywood’s future leaders need to reflect the
millions of Latinx and Spanish-speaking creators in the U.S. and around
the world,” said Camila Victoriano, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships
at Sonoro. “Our part in that is to develop genre-defining intellectual
property with Latinx characters at the center of every story. Our entire
team is bilingual and bicultural, and we work with talent and
storytellers from over 15 countries of origin. Our hope is that the
projects we develop together become a jumping off point for their
careers, flipping the traditional Hollywood business model on its head
and changing what content looks and sounds like globally.”
Now, iHeartMedia’s My Cultura, a podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx
voices, stories and creators, and Locatora Productions have announced a new original podcast, Señora Sex Ed.
The series, hosted by Locatora Productions co-founders Mala Muñoz and
Diosa Femme, will center around conversations between beloved Señoras
and their younger contemporaries, designed to break the stigma and
silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities.
Mala Muñoz is a Chicana podcast producer, writer, comedian, and voice actress from Los Angeles. A Co-Founder of Locatora Productions, she is the creator and host of Marijuanera: A Podcast for Potheads, a Gotham-Award winning show and the second podcast in the Locatora Audioverse.
Diosa Femme is an audio storyteller, podcast producer, and writer from Los Angeles. She is the Co-Founder of Locatora Productions, an award-winning production studio and home to the critically acclaimed podcast, Locatora Radio.
“Señora Sex Ed” debuted on August 20th, with new episodes releasing every Tuesday.
The new podcast will feature thought-provoking conversations with inspiring Latina voices including upcoming guest Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty, Devious Maids) centered around personal stories, insights and experiences that will resonate with listeners of all ages.
“At a time when conversations about identity, body image and sexuality are more important than ever, ‘Señora Sex Ed,’ will provide a vital platform for not only the Latinx community but listeners everywhere,” said Gisselle Bances, Head of the My Cultura Podcast Network. “We’re excited to share this show with listeners and hope to inspire understanding and connection across generations.”
