Las Paleteras

What does it actually take to pull a creative vision out of thin air and bring it to life? In this episode of Paleteras Con Chile, we’re pulling back the curtain on the world of production. We sit down with the incredibly talented Joel—a producer at Mitú studios and a driving force behind Las Paleteras Podcast—to trace his journey from a kid with a unique creative drive to the visionary making things happen behind the scenes.

Whether you're an aspiring creator, a seasoned producer, or just curious about how your favorite media gets made, this conversation is packed with, industry wisdom and lots of love for the art.

This week we're kicking it with the one and only Brenda La Latina content creator,  host, adidas ambassador, and certified IT Girl. She's giving us all the tea on going from creating content in LA to packing her bags for the FIFA World Cup. Casual. 😭✨

We get into our relationships with sports growing up, athlete crushes, dating red flags, and why soccer fans are either the biggest green flags... or the loudest red ones. 👀 We also talk about queer joy in sports, women taking over the game, and how jerseys somehow became the hottest thing in everyone's closet.

Whether you're here for the fútbol, the fashion, the jochis, or just the chisme, this episode is guaranteed to make you laugh.

This week, Cesar Camacho takes on Paleteras Con Chile with Mark Marquez who is one of his besties -- a model, actor, director, writer, and all-around creative force who traded LA sunshine for NYC chaos. We get into the story of how we met, became friends, and somehow managed to keep making art while navigating the beautifully unhinged world of creative life.

We talk about the magic of collaborating with friends, why building and supporting your community is essential (especially when you're chasing big dreams), and how having people in your corner can make the hustle a lot more fun. Along the way, we share stories from life in New York and LA, creative wins, lessons learned, and a lot of laughs.

We also spill a little tea on upcoming film projects, modeling gigs, and what’s next as we continue building careers that are as multifaceted as we are. Come for the creative inspiration, stay for the banter, the chisme and the reminder that making cool things with your friends is one of life's greatest pleasures!

Welcome back, paletitas! Grab your notebooks and hold onto your shorts, because Ana Sheila Nalgona and Cesar Camacho are taking you to school in this ultimate queer crash course. In a world that forces everyone to live by rigid, heteronormative rules, we’re leaning into the history, the identity shifts, and a whole lot of desmadre. Have you ever wondered where mainstream "gay lingo" actually comes from, or found yourself questioning if modern labels are liberating or just plain limiting? We’re diving deep into the fast-paced evolution of queer language, its deeply rooted origins in Black and Latine ballroom culture, and whether social media is watering it all down. Warning: Side effects of listening to this episode include unlearning heteronormative standards, majorly expanding your vocabulary, and a sudden urge to yell boots the house down!! 

Don't forget to subscribe, leave us a comment, and remember—la vida es más sabrosa con nosotras because we are Las Paleteras!

Holi Holi Paletitas! This week, we’re joined by social media ICON Salice Rose for a conversation that’s equal parts nostalgia, motivation and chisme.

We take it back to the telenovelas that raised us -- the drama, the iconic characters, and the life lesson we didn’t realize we were learning at the time. From unforgettable moments on screen to how those stories shaped the way we see love, resilience, and family, nothing is off limits. 

Salice also opens up about her journey, the highs and lows, and what it really takes to keep going even when life gets hard. This episode is all about not giving up, staying true to yourself, and finding strength through it all. Sooo grab your snacks, cafecito (or some tequila) and get ready for laughs, real talk, some tears and all the chisme you don’t want to miss.
