Morado LensMorado LensThe Meaning of Womanhood, a Simulcast with Duhmericana PodcastWe wrap up Women's History Month with a collaboration with fellow Latina podcasters Benzy and Wilx of Duhmericana Podcast. This simulcast couldn't have come at a better time, especially since we believe that empowered women empower women. We got into what womanhood means to us, what we do in our own lives to empower other women and how the ladies of Duh Americana embrace their inner Bruja. If you’d like to connect with Duhmericana Podcast, you can find them anywhere you prefer to listen to podcasts, and on Instagram @duhmericana_podcast.2019-07-2238 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 38: Personality TypesHello listeners! This week, were really glad to introduce yet another special guest! Benzy's big sister Bibi joins us today as we talk about something kinda hokey, yet really really interesting: personality types! There are so many iterations of different personality tests: some rely on horoscopes, others on things like shape preference, or the Four Temperaments, Love Languages, the list goes on. In this episode, we focus on the more common Myers-Briggs type of test. We took ours for free on www.16personalities.com which helped by providing a pretty insightful report on our personalities, based on different areas of...2017-07-011h 05DuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 37: Summer Bucket ListHey all! This week, we have a little challenge for you: We all have bucket lists that we want to accomplish within our lifetimes, or maybe before a certain age or life event. But summer is pretty much upon us, and this week, Wilx and Benzy set their eyes on their summer bucket lists! Living in Orlando has its perks: we have access to plenty of different beaches on either shore, springs, rivers, and lakes, and of course, the multiple theme parks we love visiting! Tune in to hear what our summer goals are; from the fun and frivolous to...2017-06-211h 00DuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 36: Redefining Us- A Simulcast With Millennial MondaysWe at Duhmericana have really grown fond of the podcast community we’re a part of, and a lot of this community-building comes from meeting some really cool podcasters and entrepreneurs who are paving their own paths in media and entertainment. One such group we had the pleasure of connecting with are Kayla and Jiselle, the girls over at Millennial Mondays podcast. A fledging endeavor that’s already made great headway, Millennial Mondays chats with us about what got them podcasting, their personal bond and how it’s evolved through the years, and what it means to be a millennial in 201...2017-06-061h 19DuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 35: Top FiveThis week on Duhmericana, Wilx is joined by her husband Leo (editor of the show) to give their list of the top 5 Podcast shows to listen to.

All phrases that 15 years ago, meant little to nothing to us as consumers of entertainment. Nowadays, however, who DOESN’T have Netflix? A better question might be “who doesn’t have cable anymore?” The dawn of movie and tv show streaming has all but killed cable… Or so it feels, anyway. On this episode we discuss our Netflix obsession as a generation, and whether cable has a shot of making it past this coming decade without going the way of the horse and buggy. Could generational gaps and differences save cable, since very young and...2017-05-0948 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 33: Who Really Killed Hannah BakerHey Duhmericana Listeners, This week, we embark on a topic that has been buzzing all over the web this past month: “Welcome to your tape.” Netflix released a 13-part series titled “13 Reasons Why,” based off the book of the same title by Jay Asher, released in 2007. Please be warned: this blog post and subsequent podcast episode deals with certain triggers regarding teen suicide and mental health. Wilx read the book when it was released, and Netflix picking up the series brought it once again to the forefront of current conversations. The show deals with the suicide of teen Hannah Baker, who reco...2017-05-0343 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 32: Be-You-tifulThis week we speak about something kind of vulnerable... our insecurities! Both individual, and as women in general. Benzy as a single woman struggles with feeling as if others judge her currently single, childless life. Wilx, as a new mom, wants to listen to her intuition but can feel the pressures of others' opinions and advice, well-meaning as they may be. What insecurities do you feel in your life, or as girls in general? Can you relate to any of the ones we mentioned above?

This is our last week of Women’s Month, where we highlighted some important topics about womanhood near and dear to our hearts.

This means you can hop on over to their podcast and listen to the same content (and if you’re visiting from Morado Lens yourself, welcome!).

As podcasters, professionals, and Latinas, we have resonated with so many of the topics we’ve covered this month. We’ve also had the amazing chance to connect with some really cool women doing great things in the arts! This week, we talk about some other women, both past and present, who have made lasting impact in women's history and in the movement as a whole.

As you know, March is Women’s Month, and in honor of some amazing women we have the pleasure of knowing, we’ve been collaborating with some women in media and entertainment who are doing amazing things. This week we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Jen Finelli and Samantha Mauney Aiken, the writer and the director/producer of a new indie film “I’m Having An Affair With My Wife!” Almost a year ago to the day, we recorded episode 6 “Chick Flicks,” where we discuss female representation and portrayal in media and s...2017-03-1543 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 28: Inner Goddess (feat.

We’re so glad you’ve tuned in. This week, we’re kicking it off by doing a blast to the past, and speaking to our younger selves: what advice do Adult Benzy and Wilx have for high-school Benzy and Wilx? What would we have loved to have heard that could have made our lives slightly easier, less stressful? Wilx suggests an overhaul in sleep habits, and Benzy suggests a reassessing of priorities, among other great tips. Do you have young girls who need to hear tips from someone else?

This week, Benzy and Wilx discuss something that afflicts people from all walks of life: how to manage a work/life balance. Amidst the hustle of our busy days, is it possible to still enjoy fulfilling friendships, relationships and hobbies, or is it all a myth? For our entrepreneur listeners, we have some fabulous tips for you as well regarding how to achieve this balance, remain motivated, and carve out the time and energy to pursue all your passions. How about you? Any tried and true tips that allow you to manage this often-sought balance? Let us know! ...2017-02-1451 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 25: Buyer's RemorseHey Duhmericana listeners! Thanks as always for tuning in! This week, Wilx and Benzy discuss one of the most common pitfalls of consumerism culture: buying things that were a waste of money. From subscription services, to high-end yet cheaply made items, to Wilx's insight as a new mommy and what she did and didn't need, we have it all! Inversely, we also recall inexpensive yet super helpful, quality product that surprised us and saved our wallets. Chime in: what have you purchased and regretted?

Thanks for sticking around as we maneuver the podcast world. Speaking of which, we thought this would be a great episode in which to update all of you as to where Duhmericana is now. Though each episode might feel slightly similar, us sitting down and taking some time to visualize where we started and where we are now allowed us to see that we've come a long way! From upgrading equipment to tweaking our media, Duhmericana strives to get better week by week. For instance, this week we...2016-10-2047 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 19: Five Things About UsHello Duhmericana fans! Benzy and Wilx here with another episode of our podcast. Allow us to introduce ourselves! We have some new followers and listeners to the podcast, and wanted to share with you all a little bit about ourselves! Although we've been friends for a few years now, there were things we didn't know about one another. Did you know we both parláis un peu de francais? Wilx is a snowbird and I'm a sand baby who didn't see snow until very recently? Our Rumor Rundown also touched on the Kim Kardashian scare, when she was accosted by a...2016-10-1158 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 18: Crime TimeHappy Thursday Duhmericana fans! Thanks so much for tuning in. This week on the podcast, we ask ourselves: why are we so fascinated by the grisly details of crime? This is evidenced by the popularity of long-standing television shows like NCIS, Criminal Minds, and perhaps the most well-known of them all, Law and Order. Even new shows like Making A Murderer and podcasts like Serial and Sword and Scale have picked up quite a following.  Is it our need to feel safer with the knowledge that this didn't happen to us? Is it a voyeuristic quality? Why do we all st...2016-09-1550 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 17: Take A Stand, Or A SeatHello Duhmericana listeners, welcome back! Hope you had a great end-of-summer long weekend.This week, on the episode, we talk about the strong link between American sports and patriotism. By now, you must be aware of the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. His decision to not stand for the National Anthem has caused quite an uproar, with people on both sides of the argument voicing their own opinions, and exercising their own freedom of speech.  We know where we stand (or sit) in this issue. Do you? Are you taking a knee with Colin, o...2016-09-071h 18DuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 15: Friends In High PlacesHey Duhmericana listeners!Thanks so much as always for tuning in. This week’s episode is about Work Relationships. Are they worth the effort?We spend most of our waking hours at work with typically the same people day after day. Friendships, or at least acquaintances, are inevitable. But when do work relationships start crossing the line? Is dating a co-worker ever ok? One interview question Benzy was asked prompted the question about how far is too far even when it comes to platonic friendships. Can your relationship survive one of you getting promoted to becoming The Boss? These dynamics, an...2016-08-2530 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 14: It Takes a VillageHello again Duhmericana Nation!Benz and Wilx here… “Where were the parents?” The most common phrase that occurs when something tragic or potentially fatal occurs to a child. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the new trend of mommy shaming: has “it takes a village to raise a child” been taken too far? Expressing concern for the well-being of a child is necessary and has saved many children from harmful accidents, or from a less-than-ideal home environment. But with media being what it is, how do we know when it becomes less about protecting the child, and more about bull...2016-08-1244 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 12: Vacation StoriesHey Duhmericana listeners!Thanks for tuning in. These past few weeks have been all about graduations, children prepping for finals, and the weather climbin steadily upwards. You know what that means! Summer is almost upon us, and with the hot weather comes time off and vacations.  As much as we love vacationing, we both have had our vacation horror stories that meant our time off turned into a pretty bad time.   Have you ever gone on a relaxing, enjoyable trip only to find out it was everything but?  Listen in as we divulge our worst vacation stories, and don't forget to c...2016-06-0245 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 11: Memory LaneHey Duhmericana listeners! As always, thanks so much for tuning in.Rainstorms are a’comin, and with Florida heating up, it brings memories of summertime! We were feeling nostalgic, so together, we took a quick trip down memory lane. From Tamagotchis to Cabbage Patch Kids, from Super Nintendo to Furbies, in this episode we reminisce on our childhoods and how it measures up to kids’ lives today.We have noticed a trend where today’s kids are more interested in STUFF than in good old-fashioned memories. The ice cream truck’s jingle, the playdates in the basements with our cousins, our late...2016-05-061h 15DuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 10: The Platonic MythHello Duhmericana listeners!

Thanks as always for visiting our blog. We've got an interesting topic for this episode, firstly have you ever heard about The Bechtel Test? First created by cartoonist Alison Bechtel, it grades mainstream movies based on three items:  Does the movie have two female leads Who are named And speak to one another about something other than a man?  For our episode titled "Chick Flick," we analyze if any of our favorite movies pass the Bechdel test, and quickly realize that many of the ones that we love don't pass the test. Even worse, some of...2016-03-2644 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 5: Hashtag TBT LawsuitDaaaaamn Duhmericana! Back at it again with the podcast episodes! (Is that still a thing? I know how quickly these meme shelf lives can run out.) Anyway, thanks so much for tuning in today! On our most recent episode, we talk about a law that passed in France, where children can sue their parents for photos of them posted without their consent. The idea is that the parent put their child in potential danger, what with geo tags and the like being so readily available. Now, neither of us work in law, but does this law translate into something America...2016-03-1240 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 4: The Other Kind of BreakupWe’ve all had to endure breakups in one form or another. Have you had to go through the “other” kind of break up, the one with a close friend? On this episode of Duhmericana, we explore how it’s different to break up with a friend versus a significant other. So much history, so many memories. Sometimes friends slowly phase out from each other’s lives due to time and distance, but the hard ones are when they are the result of two people no longer seeing eye to eye. Breaking up can be healthy, though. It’s part of the growi...2016-02-2738 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 3: Appropriate AppropriationIs appropriation ever appropriate? On this episode of the podcast we discuss the fine line between admiring another culture and adopting it as your own, without having to face the inherent struggles that the natives of that culture face daily. We see many stars appropriate culture in the name of creativity: Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, and the most recent, Beyoncé and ColdPlay. The issue comes when the influence these stars carry doesn’t translate to actually bringing any real attention to the culture. Typically, the culture is a prop or background for an artist. Where some might say “she’s bringin...2016-02-2751 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 2: Social Media MonsterHello again Duhmericana listeners! Wilx and Benzy here! We got another podcast up for you guys. This time around, it’s about the beast that has integrated itself into almost every corner of our lives: Social Media!  We know social media has its ups and downs. Many trend-savvy people have been able to make a career out of their influence and reach, but at what cost? We’ve both experienced that disheartening moment when one of our favorite bloggers or Insta-famous celebrities “sell out” and are blatantly pandering products to their followers without being sure they truly support the company/product/e...2016-02-0533 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaEpisode 1: Resolution RevolutionThis week’s episode, titled ‘Resolution Revolution’, touches on the (often daunting) task of creating our resolutions for the year. There seems to be an unrealistic, romanticized aura that surrounds the New Year. We get it: it’s the beginning of an entirely new calendar year, and it’s easier to set up goals within such convenient pre-determined parameters such as the beginning and end of a year. But let’s be serious: how personal can those be? Why hasn’t the idea of having a birthday resolution caught on more? We can’t be the only ones thinking it. Now don’t get us w...2016-01-2824 minDuhmericanaDuhmericanaWelcome to Duhmericana!First of hopefully many podcasts we get to share with you all, hope you like it and stick around through our rough patches as we maneuver our way through the podcastphere.
