I’m a 30-year-old writer and audio producer from Mexico City. Currently, I direct Ibero 90.9, Mexico’s leading alternative radio station, which mainly broadcasts music in English plus shows and podcasts on current events and the arts. My background is in audio journalism, and I hold an MSc from the LSE. I’ve worked in major newsrooms in Mexico, published essays in magazines like Nexos and HojaSanta, and worked with Spanish newspaper El País on a nine-part audio series documenting the life of a Mexican Army officer accused of colluding with a criminal organisation.
My current podcasting project is Archivo General, a Spanish language podcast dedicated to exploring Mexican intellectual history with my friend Nicolás Medina Mora. We explore books, ideas, historical figures, and political movements. Our approach combines academic rigour with intellectual honesty while maintaining a lighthearted tone.
Beyond journalism, I have a strong commitment to intellectual curiosity. A few years ago, I founded En Esta Esquina, a non-profit that fosters free speech and evidence-based argument through public debates. We’ve hosted hundreds of events featuring prominent public intellectuals, writers, politicians, and academics, attracting over 1,500 in person attendees and engaging hundreds of thousands of young Mexicans online.
I spent years reporting narrative podcast stories for Así Como Suena. My favourite piece is probably this one, where I followed a mysterious group of pushy kids who sold cupcakes in the streets of Mexico City. Beyond that, I used to host a podcast that served as an excuse to ask creative people about their work, interests, and habits. Two of my favourite conversations on it are this one with Rutgers Professor Camilla Townsend, and this other one with acclaimed Mexican musician Camilo Lara.
