  • Special Episode: AMA with Paige, pt. 1

    Getting to know, getting to know all about you... Paige, a chronic over-sharer, felt like spilling her guts so she opened up the Q&A box for the latest episode of the pod. You'll get the answer to hard-hitting questions like if she's ever thought about leaving Argentina, who she'd vote for in the 2023 Presidential elections, and how she realized she was gay. She also gabs about drag queens, astrological compatibility (?), drugs, dogs, and calls out one weird guy who is way too curious about her dating life. It's pretty juicy, so get ready for the tea to be spillethed.

  • Gentrification in Argentina

    Has your neighborhood suddenly been invaded by specialty coffee shops, "digital nomads," and rescue greyhounds? Congratulations, you've been gentrified. In this episode, we're joined by special guest Facundo Silvera, an urban economist who knows a little too much about why and how this global phenomenon is impacting Argentina. We talk about the changes in the local housing market, the ever-evolving identities of different neighborhood communities, and are quick to remind the "gringos" who have already ravaged Mexico City and Lisbon that maybe they should reconsider before taking over Buenos Aires. Sorry not sorry!

  • La Farándula: Celebrity Culture in Argentina

    ¡AQUÍ TÚ HABLAS ESPAÑOL! Nuestro primer episodio 100% en castellano, so let's brindar por eso! “Ningún ‘afternoon’, ni ningún ‘hello’. Ninguno." Warning: This is probably our most chaotic episode yet. Few things are as bizarre and beautiful as celebrity pop culture in Argentina, and here to enlighten (and/or overwhelm you) are Luli Farrell and Antonella Rogatti, in-house experts on all things B, C, and D list (and so much more). Truly, their knowledge knows no bounds. Honestly, the idea was to follow some sort of linear trajectory with this episode, but you'll soon figure out that things quickly went off the rails - and fast. So just sit back, enjoy the insanity, and maybe get an agent so you can snag a spot on the next season of Bailando por un Sueño.

  • Feminism in Argentina

    Shania said it best: Let's go girls. Join us as we take a deep dive and explore feminism and the women's movement in Argentina. Our guest of honor is the inimitable Victoria Viola, multi-hyphenate media maven and Scorpio, here to illuminate and educate us in a big way. Argentina is known as a progressive country, and with good reason, but there's still a long road ahead when it comes to securing intersectional equality for all. From the first feminists (who were also anarchists!) to the more recent fight for reproductive rights, it's all here. Come for the bra burning and stay for the collective community!

  • Uruguay: El Mejor País?

    Who's ready to cross the charco? Make sure you have your trusty mate kit at the ready, because we're heading to Uruguay! Joining us is special guest - and in-house Uruguaya - Laura Ledesma, who comes prepared with plenty of facts and trivia (of dubious origin and/or veracity) about the little República Oriental that could. We get to the root of tough questions, like what is actually in a chivito? What's up with Artigas? Who's in charge of stocking the Duty Free shop on the Buquebus? And finally, Uruguay are you like this? Make sure you've got your best "total white" linen outfit picked out, because we'll be making a stop at the Fiesta Chandón in the very glam (but also very retro) Punta del Este before the summer is out.

  • Food in Argentina pt. 2

    Anyone in the mood for a tostado mixto? We're talking about food in Buenos Aires (again!), this time in the company of special guest Irina from the mega-popular Instagram account @BuenosPaladaires_. From gastro guilty pleasures to trends we're absolutely sick of seeing on menus across the city - and everything in between - we roll up our sleeves and chow down on some goss. Like, when will gírgolas let it go and ride off into the sunset? Why does everything come in "platito" form these days? And who gets to call dibs on sharing the news on restaurant openings or best kept secrets? Some bridges might have been burned in the process, just FYI.

  • Being Queer in Argentina

    Hi gay! We're feeling our queer oats and want you to do the same. Grab your poppers and join special guest (and resident lesbian) Barbara Pavan to chat about the ups and downs of being queer in Argentina. In this episode we ask the tough questions, like what's the Pride vibe every year? Cómo se dice "U-Hauling" en castellano? And most importantly: when it comes to making weekend plans, why must we choose between vegan poetry readings and underground sex dungeon orgies?

  • Special Episode: Libro de Quejas pt. 3

    Why kick the season off on a high note when we can start complaining right out of the gate? A perennial favorite, Libro de Quejas is an open forum to whine and moan about extremely mundane problems. Join Paige and a special guest on the journey from blasé baristas to hard-to-find hummus (and sadly, everything in between), the real treasures are the complaints we made along the way.

  • Season 3 Premiere

    To quote Sir Elton John: The b*tch is back! That's right, what was meant to be a brief hiatus became a hibernation longer than an average Saturn return. But who cares?! Tune in for all the hot goss and a little preview of what's to come in the much-awaited new season of Bad Information.
