Episode 97: Mucho, Mucho Amor

An icon left his earthly existence this week, and we're taking a moment to honor his incredible legacy. Walter Mercado was a staple in many Latinx households and a part of millions of people's spiritual lives through his horoscopes. We were incredibly inspired by his opulent style (those capes!!!) and his expansive approach to gender and gender norms, so we wanted to rendir homenaje. In this episode we bring songs inspired by his fabulous life - including a track from his little known salsero moment! - and we go deep on our own relationships to Walter and astrology.

Featuring music by Maye, Walter Mercado, Mediopicky, Villano Antillano, Karlos Rosé and Kevvo.

Editors note: Pérez got caught by some fake news—it turns out our beloved Walter wasn’t a tauro after all, but a pisces! Apologies for the misinformation.
