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
From Taíno Roots to The Young Lords to Act 60. Resistance Isn’t New.

This episode isn’t soft. It isn’t curated. It’s real.
Because what's happening in Puerto Rico is nothing new, it's just wearing new clothes.
We talk about the Taíno people, the original caretakers of the land, and how their culture, language, and resistance still live in us.
We talk about the Young Lords, who flipped anger into action and demanded dignity for a community that the system threw away.
And we talk about Act 60, a so called “economic incentive” that’s displacing Boricuas from their own streets while billionaires pay zero in taxes and post about their island reset.
This episode is for those of us who live between pride and grief.
For the ones who are tired of seeing their culture marketed, their families pushed out, their identity reshaped by outsiders.
It’s not just about what’s being lost.
It’s about what we’re still holding on to.
