    Jun 17 2026
    Welcome back, paletitas! Grab your notebooks and hold onto your shorts, because Ana Sheila Nalgona and Cesar Camacho are taking you to school in this ultimate queer crash course. In a world that forces everyone to live by rigid, heteronormative rules, we’re leaning into the history, the identity shifts, and a whole lot of desmadre. Have you ever wondered where mainstream "gay lingo" actually comes from, or found yourself questioning if modern labels are liberating or just plain limiting? We’re diving deep into the fast-paced evolution of queer language, its deeply rooted origins in Black and Latine ballroom culture, and whether social media is watering it all down. Warning: Side effects of listening to this episode include unlearning heteronormative standards, majorly expanding your vocabulary, and a sudden urge to yell boots the house down!!

    Apr 29 2026
    Hola Paletitas! This week’s episode is going to be a throwback to one of our favorite episodes in Season 1 where we dive deep into the multifaceted world of relationships and situationships. From singlehood to the Putivuelta phase, we’re unpacking it all. Are you living your best monogamous life, or does polyamory pique your interest? Together, we’ll explore some thought-provoking questions. We’ll reflect on our first experiences with love (Cuándo fue la primera vez que te enamoraste?) and compare how our understanding of love and relationships has evolved. We’ll also chat about what it means to love, including attachment styles, the lessons learned from being a toxica, and redefining love as we grow and mature. As we close, your hosts will share their aspirations and dreams for future explorations of love and relationships. Whether in love, out of love, or somewhere in between, there’s a little something for everyone in this episode. Las Paleteras is produced by Joel Ruiz and Elpidio Perez along with the hosts.
