    Episode 36: Redefining Us- A Simulcast With Millennial Mondays

    We at Duhmericana have really grown fond of the podcast community we’re a part of, and a lot of this community-building comes from meeting some really cool podcasters and entrepreneurs who are paving their own paths in media and entertainment. One such group we had the pleasure of connecting with are Kayla and Jiselle, the girls over at Millennial Mondays podcast. A fledging endeavor that’s already made great headway, Millennial Mondays chats with us about what got them podcasting, their personal bond and how it’s evolved through the years, and what it means to be a millennial in 2017. We found that there can oftentimes be an unfairly negative connotation to that word, often associated with laziness! But millennials simply have forged a new path in their career, personal lives, and the ways they view and interact with the world. Tune in and get to know them, and us, a little deeper! When today’s millennials become tomorrow’s old-timers, what legacy will we leave? What exactly defines a millennial? You can also get to know the girls by checking them out through the following sources: Website: www.millennialmondays.com Instagram: Millennial.Mondays Apple iTunes: millennial Mondays Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe to Duhmericana podcast on the iTunes and Google Play app, or wherever you listen to podcasts. #womenpodcast #millennial #genx #generationx #culture #girltalk #girlboss #society #legacy #community #youthculture #perception #driven #career #entrepreneur

    Episode 34: Streaming Killed the Cable Star

    Netflix and chill. Binge watching. Spoiler alert. All phrases that 15 years ago, meant little to nothing to us as consumers of entertainment. Nowadays, however, who DOESN’T have Netflix? A better question might be “who doesn’t have cable anymore?” The dawn of movie and tv show streaming has all but killed cable… Or so it feels, anyway. On this episode we discuss our Netflix obsession as a generation, and whether cable has a shot of making it past this coming decade without going the way of the horse and buggy. Could generational gaps and differences save cable, since very young and much older consumers typically prefer the ease of use offered by cable companies? Could live events like the Grammys, the Super Bowl, etc. cause people to remain faithful to their live television? Is cable’s monopoly on internet access in general likely to keep them afloat? Tune in and don’t forget to drop us a line about your own opinion on this topic. As always, rating and reviewing our podcast on your apps helps us tremendously, and we appreciate it even more! Also, remember episode 29 with Jen and Sam? Well they've put together an amazing video describing the campaign for their even more amazing movie project.

    Episode 33: Who Really Killed Hannah Baker

    Hey Duhmericana Listeners, This week, we embark on a topic that has been buzzing all over the web this past month: “Welcome to your tape.” Netflix released a 13-part series titled “13 Reasons Why,” based off the book of the same title by Jay Asher, released in 2007. Please be warned: this blog post and subsequent podcast episode deals with certain triggers regarding teen suicide and mental health. Wilx read the book when it was released, and Netflix picking up the series brought it once again to the forefront of current conversations. The show deals with the suicide of teen Hannah Baker, who recorded and delivered 13 tapes dedicated to people she felt contributed to her reasons for committing suicide. The story is narrated from the perspective of her close friend and romantic interest Clay Jensen. Though the show was intended to bring to light the topic of teen suicide and mental health (an intention also expressed by singer and actress Selena Gomez, Executive Producer), we can’t help but wonder if this might have been a misguided attempt that causes more harm than good. We grapple with the sentiment that it brings it to light, yet does so in a twisted sort of revenge fantasy that doesn’t succinctly depict that Hannah Baker, or anyone who commits suicide with revenge in mind, will never get the comeuppance intended. Does 13 Reasons Why glamorize teen suicide? Ultimately, it’s still using it as a form of entertainment and ultimately, profit. What do you think? Did you read the book and/or watch the series? What redeeming qualities can be found in a show of this kind? Sound off below! As always, please don’t forget to rate and review. You have no idea how much it truly means to us! We can all help prevent suicide.

    Episode 31: Womanhood - a Simulcast with Morado Lens

    Hello again Duhmericana listeners! This is our last week of Women’s Month, where we highlighted some important topics about womanhood near and dear to our hearts. To wrap up the month, we connected with the amazing girls over at Morado Lens podcast, Cindy and Nat, for a simulcast! This means you can hop on over to their podcast and listen to the same content (and if you’re visiting from Morado Lens yourself, welcome!). Cindy and Nat taught us a lot about what it means to embrace your “inner bruja”, your inner “witch.” Though some might shrink away from the negative connotations of the word, we discovered that all of us women have a heightened sense of intuition, usually picked up from our mothers (who, lets admit it, are always right!) and we operate in that intuition daily, from small decisions to larger gut feelings about people, places, events, etc. Womanhood itself has this intuition built into it, and it’s probably something many of you have experienced, or perhaps have witnessed in the lives of women around you. Speaking of womanhood, we all contribute daily to the conversation about feminism, femininity, and the woman’s worldview. Wilx has her blog, www.lionsorchid.com, where she is creating a community for new and experienced moms where they can provide feedback and motivation to one another. Benzy, working in the educational field, aspires to inspire young women to pursue their dreams, and doesn’t shy away from being both strong and feminine as a way to showcase what true womanhood is to men in her life. What does unleashing your inner bruja mean to you? In what ways are you contributing with your day to day life to the conversation about womanhood and the feminine experience? Let us know below! If you’d like to connect with Morado Lens, find them anywhere you prefer to listen to podcasts, and on Instagram @moradolens. #girlboss #womenhood #womensmonth #latinx #feminism #womenrights #girltalk #balance #motherhood #passions #latina #career #smallbusiness #culture
