In the last episode of our guest podcast series, we feature NPR’s Alt.Latino podcast, a show all about Latinx culture and music. On this episode, hosts Felix Contreras and Anamaria Sayre sit down with Mexican singer-songwriter Carla Morrison. They talk about her return to music after a four-year break, during which she was dealing with depression. Carla also discusses her story of rebirth following a sudden move to Paris, how she approaches mental health in life and music, and how Renaissance art inspired her latest project.

This week, we feature an episode of YR Media’s Adult ISH, a culture, advice and storytelling podcast hosted by “almost-adults” tackling topics all about ... you guessed it ... adulting! This episode is about preparing for life post-incarceration. First, co-host Nygel Turner talks with Earlonne Woods, the host of the award-winning Ear Hustle podcast, about how he readjusted to life after prison. Earlonne also shares his thoughts on justice reform. Then, co-host Dominique French speaks with University of California, Berkeley student Natalie Verducci about finding help and healing through the Berkeley Underground Scholars program. 

Snooze is still on a break. But for the next few weeks, we're bringing you some podcast episodes you’ll enjoy! In the first episode in our series, we feature NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour. On the episode, you'll hear all about Rap Sh!t, an HBO Max series that Snooze host Megan Tan loves.

Pop Culture Happy Hour co-host Aisha Harris and panelist Sidney Madden take us into the world of Rap Sh!t, which is about two aspiring female rappers in Miami. On the show, Shawn and Mia (played by Aida Osman and KaMillion) face challenges as they try to break into the music industry together. Though they face adversity in work and love, the two support each other through it all — and capture their journeys with smartphones, no less.
