Thalía has it all—an icon of icons with a life as dramatic as any telenovela. There’s conflict, scandalous romance, a ransom, and a fairytale wedding. From the time she was a child running around the streets of Mexico City, it was clear she was something special. A singer, dancer, and performer, she captured the hearts of an entire country. Join us for the first part of our journey into the life of the queen of telenovelas herself: Thalía.

Lilliana Vazquez and Joseph Carrillo are the hosts of Becoming An Icon with production support by Nick Milanes, Santiago Sierra, Rodrigo Crespo, Evelyn Uribe and Edgar Esteban of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network.
