- Society & Culture
A love letter to the country that drives us mad. Bad Information is hosted by Paige Nichols, who has been lucky (or deluded) enough to call Argentina home for the last 15 years. Each episode explores the aspects of life abroad with an analytical eye, a sense of humor, and a tendency to blame any failures on the astros. From therapy to fashion to diet trends and everything in between, Paige's perspective resonate with expats and locals alike. Tune in to hear about the ups and downs of a cross-cultural lifestyle.

Summer Camp: DNU de Catársis
Where do we EVEN begin? It's like the end of the year in Argentina isn't allowed to be anything less than chaotic, stressful, bonkers, or absolutely unpredictable. With a new government taking over - and making us collectively question the voting populace's intellectual capacity - and temperatures starting to soar, Bad Info HQ is ready to pack up and head to summer camp. While at la colonia de verano, we're laying out all of our grievances and woes. Let's consider it therapeutic, shall we? Joined by special guest (and pseudo-Uruguayan) Laura, we run through a very disorganized laundry list of what's going on with us lately. So pour yourself an ice cold beverage, put that ventilador Liliana to the max, and settle in as we slowly go insane together.

Special Episode: AMA with Paige, pt. 2
Current status: Fingiendo demencia! Part 2 of the special AMA with Paige is ready for your enjoyment. We really dive into the deep issues here, like if Paige has ever thought about leaving Argentina, what local trends she hates, and if she was more of an "outer space" or "dinosaur" kid while growing up. It's really hard-hitting journalism, people! So sit back, relax, and pretend the world isn't ending - even if it's just for a few minutes.

Special Episode: AMA with Paige, pt. 1
Getting to know, getting to know all about you... Paige, a chronic over-sharer, felt like spilling her guts so she opened up the Q&A box for the latest episode of the pod. You'll get the answer to hard-hitting questions like if she's ever thought about leaving Argentina, who she'd vote for in the 2023 Presidential elections, and how she realized she was gay. She also gabs about drag queens, astrological compatibility (?), drugs, dogs, and calls out one weird guy who is way too curious about her dating life. It's pretty juicy, so get ready for the tea to be spillethed.

Gentrification in Argentina
Has your neighborhood suddenly been invaded by specialty coffee shops, "digital nomads," and rescue greyhounds? Congratulations, you've been gentrified. In this episode, we're joined by special guest Facundo Silvera, an urban economist who knows a little too much about why and how this global phenomenon is impacting Argentina. We talk about the changes in the local housing market, the ever-evolving identities of different neighborhood communities, and are quick to remind the "gringos" who have already ravaged Mexico City and Lisbon that maybe they should reconsider before taking over Buenos Aires. Sorry not sorry!

La Farándula: Celebrity Culture in Argentina
¡AQUÍ TÚ HABLAS ESPAÑOL! Nuestro primer episodio 100% en castellano, so let's brindar por eso! “Ningún ‘afternoon’, ni ningún ‘hello’. Ninguno." Warning: This is probably our most chaotic episode yet. Few things are as bizarre and beautiful as celebrity pop culture in Argentina, and here to enlighten (and/or overwhelm you) are Luli Farrell and Antonella Rogatti, in-house experts on all things B, C, and D list (and so much more). Truly, their knowledge knows no bounds. Honestly, the idea was to follow some sort of linear trajectory with this episode, but you'll soon figure out that things quickly went off the rails - and fast. So just sit back, enjoy the insanity, and maybe get an agent so you can snag a spot on the next season of Bailando por un Sueño.

Feminism in Argentina
Shania said it best: Let's go girls. Join us as we take a deep dive and explore feminism and the women's movement in Argentina. Our guest of honor is the inimitable Victoria Viola, multi-hyphenate media maven and Scorpio, here to illuminate and educate us in a big way. Argentina is known as a progressive country, and with good reason, but there's still a long road ahead when it comes to securing intersectional equality for all. From the first feminists (who were also anarchists!) to the more recent fight for reproductive rights, it's all here. Come for the bra burning and stay for the collective community!
