Hi. I host a podcast. Why? Great question. Mostly because talking to myself in a room without recording it started to seem a little... sad.
This podcast is where I try to make sense of the world or at least pretend I can through semi-coherent rambling, unsolicited opinions, and the occasional guest who actually knows what they're talking about. Think of it as therapy, but without the copay. Or the healing.
I’m not here to change your life, solve your problems, or pretend I have it all figured out. I’m here because microphones are cheaper than therapists, and people seem to listen more when you call it “content.”
The Existential Static Podcast
Born here, tied there. Puerto Rico, Identity and What's Being Taken. Part 1.
In this episode of Existential Static, we’re talking about Puerto Rico, beyond the beaches and beyond the branding.
What does it mean to grow up Puerto Rican in the States? To be raised with culture, music, and pride, but still feel like a guest when you visit the island? We get into the complicated identity of being raised away from the island while still deeply tied to it.
We also talk about what’s happening on the island now. Gentrification, rising rents, and how locals are being pushed out by outsiders turning family homes into Airbnb's.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt caught between pride and displacement, tradition and transformation.
