To date, the content I’ve managed or created is in Spanish (due to the practical reality of my nationalities and the country I grew up in), but I’m confident in my ability to quickly adapt to an English language environment. Curiosity is my greatest strength, so I’m keen to receive feedback and learn from colleagues.
My current podcasting project is Telescopio, a long-form interview show that I use 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 one with acclaimed Mexican musician Camilo Lara. I research, book, record, produce, edit, mix, and publish every episode myself.
Previously I’ve produced and appeared on live TV and radio broadcasts. I’ve also reported from remote places using only my mobile phone and a notepad. I spent years pitching, reporting and creating narrative podcast stories, working with a diverse group of journalists, producers and editors under typical deadline pressure. My favourite narrative podcast is probably this story, where I followed a mysterious group of pushy kids who sold cupcakes in the streets of Mexico City.
In collaboration with Spanish newspaper El País, I was part of the small team that investigated corruption and Human Rights violations within the Mexican Army. In the autumn of 2020 we published a 9 part podcast series focused on the experiences of 15 soldiers who were tortured by their comrades in the northeastern state of Coahuila.
For a couple of years I chaired live, in person debates, in front of rowdy crowds, in which artists, writers, politicians, and public intellectuals argued on opposing sides of a statement. After the debates I was responsible for editing and publishing them as podcasts on the relevant platforms.
