ACERCA DEL PODCAST TURN LEFT AT THE CACTUS
SAN FELIPE, BAJA, MÉXICO

Turn Left at the Cactus (Gira a la Izquierda en el Cactus) es un podcast producido localmente en San Felipe, Baja, México. Calyn Whedbee es la creadora del podcast y la responsable de la producción, postproducción y conducción del programa. Cal está acompañada por la coanfitriona Linda Wiggins (también conocida como Wigs), quien colabora en la investigación y el desarrollo del segmento mensual Cactus Connections. Además, Tricia Sikes participa como coanfitriona del programa.

Lanzamos nuestro primer episodio en el verano de 2022 y, sinceramente, considerando el grupo demográfico con el que trabajamos, no teníamos idea de si el proyecto despegaría. Para nuestra sorpresa y diversión, nuestra audiencia ha ido creciendo —“poco a poco”. Hasta la fecha contamos con más de dos mil oyentes alrededor del mundo, principalmente en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. Consideramos que esto es un gran logro, especialmente si tomamos en cuenta que buena parte de nuestro público objetivo apenas está descubriendo lo que son los podcasts, y mucho menos incorporándolos a su vida diaria.

El enfoque principal de TLATC es descubrir qué es lo que resulta tan atractivo de esta zona para los extranjeros que viven y trabajan aquí —ya sea de tiempo completo o parcial—; por qué deciden mudarse; y qué consideran que merece mayor atención. Esperamos capturar y preservar las numerosas historias que la comunidad de expatriados/imigrantes tiene sobre la historia y evolución del área, así como nuestro impacto en ella. Sin embargo, no siempre seguimos un guion rígido, por lo que nuestras conversaciones a menudo nos llevan por territorios inexplorados.

ABOUT TURN LEFT AT THE CACTUS PODCAST

SAN FELIPE, BAJA, MEXICO

Turn Left at the Cactus is a locally operated podcast in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico. Calyn Whedbee is the creator of the podcast and is responsible for production, post-production, and hosting the show. Cal is joined by co-host Linda Wiggins (AKA Wigs) who also assists with research and development of the monthly segment Cactus Connections. Additionally, Tricia Sikes assists with co-hosting the show.

We dropped our first podcast in the summer of 2022. And, honestly, given the demographic we are working with, we had absolutely no idea whether any of it would fly. To our amusement and surprise, however, our listening base is growing --“poco a poco.” To date we have over two thousand listeners from around the world--mostly from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We feel this is a major accomplishment considering much of our target audience hasn’t yet discovered podcasts, much less decided to incorporate them into their daily lives.

The primary focus of TLATC is to ascertain what it is that foreign nationals living and working here--full or part time-- find so attractive about the area; why they move here; and what they think is deserving of more attention. We hope to capture and store the many stories the expatriate community has about the history and evolution of the area and our impact on it. However, we don't necessarily stick to a script, so our conversations often lead us to some unchartered territory. "
