Inspired by creator and host Carmel Holt’s own 25 year career in radio, and lifetime devoted to music, SHEROES is a podcast that amplifies womxn’s voices in song and conversation. As the third production under the SHEROES name, following her syndicated public radio show SHEROES Radio, and SHEROES: Mixtape Memoir (Sonos Radio), the SHEROES podcast on Talkhouse acts as kind of creative lab, expanding to include mini-episodes that highlight the intersectional feminist heart of SHERO interviews, live tapings, roundtables and more. Carmel’s approach continues to be guided by a fierce commitment to diversity and inclusivity, showcasing a wide range of guests sharing their experiences spanning genres and generations, with a passion for amplifying new voices while recognizing and celebrating the womxn who paved the way.
Raquel Berrios of Buscabulla joins Carmel Holt this week to chat about the new Buscabulla album Se Amaba Así – the Puerto Rican duo’s sophomore album. The culmination of five emotional years that included some career highs (a Bad Bunny collab), and personal lows (the death of Raquel’s father), is centered around the romantic partnership of Raquel and bandmate Luis Alfredo “Luifre” Del Valle, and ruminations on modern love, with a sonic palette that nods to the Latin American songbook.
