LA LISTA: A Latinx Writers Podcast

This week:
Thulio makes his triumphant WeHo return and somehow wakes up in Glendale, Rubén gets accused of dining & dashing at Dave & Buster's, a pool day delivers Scorpio slander and a blown-out floatie, Margaret Qualley lets the dogs out in chopped Chanel, and Paramount's Warner Bros. Discovery bid becomes a billionaire hostage negotiation.
Plus a Punch-Up on BYOT pool-party etiquette... and AirPods so bad they become anti-tech propaganda.
La Lista Podcast host Rubén Mendive and writer Thulio DaSilva ditch the formal interviews and hop on the mic for quick, unfiltered conversations about their chaotic creative lives — covering new writing projects, hot takes on industry trends, dating disasters, and whatever discourse the algorithm served them that morning.

A MAGICALLY REALISTIC, QUEER COLOMBIAN LATINÉ WRITER MAKES AN ATTEMPT
Dylan Guerra shares growing up queer and Colombian in Miami, being raised by artist parents in a world of improv, stand-up, and DIY theater, finding his voice after moving to New York and writing the wildly personal solo show Find Him, getting staffed on The Other Two, and using ghosts, monsters, grief, comedy, and queer Latine mythos to build his own version of American folktale.

A QUEER LATIN AMERICAN WRITER-DIRECTOR
Fiorella Vescovi shares growing up in Montevideo, Uruguay, feeling trapped until sports opened a path to the U.S., driving from Missouri to Los Angeles with emo music and black nails, finding herself beyond acting by falling in love with writing and directing, joining the queer series And Also With You, and turning her father's experience during Uruguay's dictatorship into the tender LALIFF/Netflix-supported short Pilotos de Papel.
