Holi holi Paletitas! This week we’re breaking down PRIDE—the good, the bad, and the corporate AF. Is it still about protest, or just puro party pa’ los cis white gays? 

Tus comadres favoritas—César, José Richard aka Nalgona, y Ana Sheila—get into it with chisme, hot takes, and a whole lot of cariño for our queer community. From first Pride stories to Dyke March highlights, and even shouting out organizations like the Trans Latina Coalition, we’re asking: Have we lost our way… or are we still finding new ones?

DICEN POR AHÍ: Pride is just gay desmadre on display. True or nah?

Main convo: Pride memories, critiques, and hopes for the future of queerness.

Mete o Saca: What are we letting go and what are we inviting in this Pride season?

And yes, Pride can be a fiesta—but it’s also resistencia. And we’re here for both!

Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.Tell us in the comments: ¿Qué significa PRIDE pa’ ti?

Y recuerden que la vida es más sabrosa con nosotras porque somos, LAS PALETERAS!

¿Quién nos enseñó sobre sexo queer? (Spoiler: casi nadie.) In this juicy episode, tus comadres favoritas—César, José Richard aka Nalgona, y Ana Sheila—dive into all the stuff we should’ve learned but had to figure out en las calles, en el internet, o en el chisme.

We unpack where we learned about sex (if at all), the role of queer media in our sexual coming-of-age, and what we’ve taught—or wish we’d been taught—about consent, pleasure, hygiene, and queerness.

Plus: In our Mete o Saca segment, we share what we’re letting go and what we’re inviting in. So grab your paleta and tell us: ¿qué estás metiendo o sacando tú?

Raw, real, and picante como tamarindo con chamoy—this one’s for every paletita who’s still unlearning shame and reclaiming pleasure.

¡Hola Paletritas! This week, we’re diving into summer love—the messy, the magical, and the downright ridiculous.

This week on Las Paleteras, we’re diving into something many queer folks know all too well—internalized queerphobia. That sneaky inner voice shaped by years of societal shame, machismo, religious guilt, and the pressure to “blend in.” But don’t worry, como siempre, we get into it con cariño… y un poquito de desmadre!

Joining us is the brilliant Luis Cornejo (@luis_thee_lmft) — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and founder of PsychoSocial Therapy. Luis brings their insight as a healer and advocate to unpack the layers of internalized queerphobia, from childhood survival instincts to dating dynamics and the pain of gender nonconformity rejection within our own communities.

Plus: — Chismecito callejero in our Dicen Por Ahí segment — Honest reflections on our first brushes with self-shame — A powerful convo about healing, grace, and letting go — Our signature Mete o Saca to close things out with intention

Holi holi Paletitas! Welcome back to Las Paleteras, where you get free therapy... but we’re NOT LIABLE. This week, your favorite comadres—Ana Sheila, Jose Richard a.k.a. Nalgona, and Cesar Camacho—are diving deep into our complicated relationships with doctors and healthcare. From growing up skipping checkups to adulting through medical anxiety, we're asking the big questions: Do you actually trust your doctor or are you just hoping that the Vicz VapoRub and Tylenol will get you through?

In our Dicen por Ahí segment, we get into the rising rates of STIs (yes, check that coochie comadre) and talk about why so many of us still avoid the doctor until it’s way too late. Then we unpack our personal and cultural health histories—because let’s be real, some of us were raised by people who thought going to the doctor was a luxury.

We wrap up with our signature Mete o Saca, sharing what we’re inviting into our lives and what we’re letting go.Don’t be shy, share your Mete o Saca with us on Las Paleteras socials and Youtube. Subscribe, chime in, and let us know in the comments—porque la vida es más sabrosa con nosotras:

In this fiery episode of Paleteras Con Chile, we dive into the current state of Los Angeles as our community rises up against the administration, ICE, and the deployment of the National Guard. Amidst the tension and resistance, we talk about the power of collective action—and collective joy.

We share how we're reclaiming our time, our space, and our PRIDE. Even in the face of adversity, queer joy is resistance, and celebration is survival. Tune in as we unpack how we’re honoring PRIDE month without letting the chaos steal our glitter.
