Expat life in Mexico City: interviews and solo dispatches about language, culture, and what it really feels like to leave your life behind and move to CDMX.

  1. Un Kilogramo de Tortillas

    -5 J

    Un Kilogramo de Tortillas

    It’s a new era. The podcast has a focus now — expat life in Mexico City — and there’s a new contest to go with it. I talk about CDMX’s no-driving-test license system, why Beetle taxis used to rule the city, the many ways Spanish says “I love you” (and the one way English does), and a tortilla situation I probably should’ve kept to myself. Ponte el cinturón, mis amigos.

    Indie Films, Hollywood & Steering the Ship with Jon Sherman

    Filmmaker Jon Sherman has been my friend for years and I finally got him in front of a microphone before I left Ohio. We talk about growing up in Manhattan, making movies nobody would buy, Harvey Weinstein passing on his film, directing a hundred people when you have no idea what you're doing, teaching at Kenyon for 17 years, and the tattoo that may not say what he thinks it says. You can, and should, follow Jon on Instagram @theythemusfilm Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjef Instagram: @onefjefpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpod TikTok: @onefjefpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjef Email: onefjefpod@gmail.com You can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.

  4. Black Sheep, Candelaria & Divide and Conquer with Bernardo Pacheco

    16 AVR.

    Black Sheep, Candelaria & Divide and Conquer with Bernardo Pacheco

    Bernardo Pacheco grew up in a low neighborhood on the south side of Mexico City, the youngest of three, black sheep by temperament. We talked about the stories we keep telling ourselves about our upbringings, the difference between a word like mande and what it actually carries, how the Catholic Church is not Christianity, the two kinds of gringos, why most ideologies are a distraction from the inner work, and whether the world is headed toward a cataclysmic reset or just another scramble. Also: investing ethics, the movie Roma, Edward Bernays, and the question I ask everyone at the end. Follow Bernardo on Instagram @rebel.bernie.

    Faith, The Warped Tour & Real Life with Tim Waters

    My friend Tim Waters came over two weeks before I moved to Mexico City, we sat in my living room with the lav mics I got for Christmas, and this is what happened. We get into growing up super religious and what happens when that falls apart, Duolingo streak psychology, unintentional black guitars, and how music—like discovering Green Day as a kid—can completely reroute your life. We also played some music, most of which you (fortunately) won't get to hear. A bit, though. Follow Tim on Instagram @radiocityrecords, listen to some of his old music on Soundcloud at someoneliketim, and watch the music video for his band Nothing Less' song "Record Store" on YouTube.

    Cracked Wide Open

    About a month in, I'm starting to admit that this is actually my life. Also: my sister and nephew visited, we went to a cooking class, watched a mariachi band play an inappropriate song, argued about whether Spanish 6 is a real class, and I had a breakthrough in my second Spanish lesson. There's also a story about two Ukrainian sailors, a Bob Dylan cassette, and a shirt I still own but have never worn.

    Documentaries, Dyslexia & We Just Die with Nathan Fitch

    My friend Nathan Fitch went from making skate videos to documenting Micronesian soldiers fighting in U.S. wars—and somehow that’s just part of the story. We talk about how he ended up in the Peace Corps, what he saw filming in Afghanistan, and how Island Soldier keeps finding new life years later. Along the way, we get into creativity, survival, and what it actually means to “make it” as a filmmaker. You can learn more about Nathan and watch some of his work at nathan-fitch.com, and you can see some of his photography on his Instagram @nathanfitch And you can learn more about the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective at brooklyn.film Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjef Instagram: @onefjefpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpod TikTok: @onefjefpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjef Email: onefjefpod@gmail.com You can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air. Thank you for listening, please do it again, but while skateboarding. Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

    Light Fixtures

    Two weeks into Mexico City and I'm getting by — mostly. A woman at the market walked me across the entire building to find a spatula I didn't need, I took my first all-Spanish yoga class and spent most of it thinking about bolster hygiene, I upgraded the shower head, I still haven't taken my garbage out, I had one real wave of expat loneliness, and I ended up at a Walmart Express surrounded by Americans asking each other if they should get the feta. Also, my ceiling lights are nautical-themed for no reason.
