Catanation Studios opens the doors yet again with unheard footage from previous podcasts, as I introduce Catanation UNCUT 4!

We hear how badly I am with people's names my first time meeting people, and even meeting guests for the first time, such as Dan Loney and see how nervous I was meeting people back in Season 1.

Behind the scenes you see how easy it is to just lay back and chit chat with your guests, which is what you get when I play back conversations with Andrew Benavides & Magely Martinez.

Also, we hear a great story from Edith Sanchez Cruz, and her early start from graduating high school as a pregnant woman and the journey to where she is now.

A reunion of sorts, many of you remember Ady Spellman back in Season 2, but now she comes back to Season 6, and we are so excited as so much has happened since the last time we spoke.

Ady has got me the opportunity to continue photography, and also maintain her small business of Ady Lovegood's Ally, as well as Creatures Inc. By Ady. Ady even talks about her time at Monsterpalooza as well as other pop-up and phtoshoots coming her way. 

While we talk about the past, we talk about the future and why Ady will continue to pursue. It is very exciting to reach out to a previous guest and see how much the times have changed for the better.

A clear definition of a small world. Photographer and bartender Diego Luna comes to Catanation Studios after multiple paths that have been crossed for us.

Diego shares about how the process goes into having a vision of how he creates images and photography. In the interview we even share about our love of Pro Wrestling as well as our experience going to WrestleMania 39, but for me the highlight of hearing this podcast is hearing myself and Diego share about our struggles with mental health and process how we work for our love of what we do, and even how much we've inspired each other.

Take a listen at this podcast, and I dare you all not to laugh once on this podcast.

We have officially closed off Season 5 of Catanation Studios, and we have a podcast that has been anticipated since the show's existence.

Miriam Perez-Rodriquez comes to the show to tell us about her involvement in City Heights, as well as share about her fellow promotoras and the Vecinos De City Heights. The biggest take away from this story is hearing a bit of behind the scenes of why she loves to create memories for herself, her community, and most importantly her family.

Some who could relate a lot with her is our Guest Co-Host for the show, Luz Maria Clayton, who has been a long time friend for the show, and comes to talk with us about how much Miriam has been a true helpful and supportive friend.

The story we tell here is sharing that hope of finding great friends in life that help you in the right time. To Miriam and Luz, if you read this, just thank you for being great friends, and thank you for being a great team, I wouldn't be more inspired without you both.

With this podcast being the final episode of the Season, the final announcements set will set  what the future holds for Catanation Studios, and I am beyond stoked for Season 6.
