MíraLA Podcast #30: The Producers’ Edit
MíraLA Podcast: The Producers’ Edit is a special behind-the-scenes conversation on growth, community and all things MíraLA. Host Arianna Lemus, who leads the podcast with intention and a deep focus on relationship-building and storytelling, is joined by longtime producer Brenda Hernández, who has served as producer, editor, and camera operator, shaping the podcast’s production, structure, and brand.
In this candid Producers’ Edit, Arianna and Brenda reflect on the past, present, and future of MíraLA — from the evolution of the podcast to the growth of the MíraLA Film Festival and other collaborative projects. The episode documents the process behind the work, the challenges and lessons learned, and the moments that have shaped the platform, while also marking a transition as Brenda steps away from the podcast after two years of contribution.
This episode is for listeners who’ve been with MíraLA since day one — and for anyone curious about how collective, community-led creative work actually gets made.
