How to Not Give Up w Luisa Diez from Why You Mad

Mishka Shubaly Podcast

Wow, I didn't even make it through six months before breaking from my self-imposed structure for the podcast... lately, I've been listening to a lot of Why You Mad, a podcast hosted by my old friend Jake Flores and Luisa Diez. I've found their conversations about pop culture, gender, sex & sexuality to be incredibly helpful during my "rebuilding" year. Even when I don't agree with her (maybe especially when I don't agree with her) I've found Luisa's takes to spur me on because she's done her research and always brings footnotes to a slugfest. I had to have her on, try to find out what makes her tick.

Here's Luisa: I'm an anthropologist focused on modern American culture, specifically through the social and material production of artists and art. I work in arts representation and media & records management for museums, national monuments, and streaming/television media companies. On the side, I produce live comedy shows, book comedy talent for one-off projects, and host a podcast called Why You Mad with comedian and friend Jake Flores, in which we talk about art, comedy, and anything else that comes up, through a leftist, latino, feminist perspective.
