Episode 11: Song Association/My GoodReads 2024 Recap

In a fun new segment, Allison dusts off her literature degree (that now sits, unused) to go over all the books she read in 2024, as well as the songs she associates with each. In this episode, Allison gives a glimpse at her own personal reading repertoire, providing a brief (or realistically, long-winded, nonlinear) synopsis of each book, as well as why each musical selection ties back to her perception of each novel.

Episode Seven: MI EX TENIA RAZON and the legacy of Selena Quintanilla

In the final installment of her Latin/Hispanic Heritage month trilogy, Allison does a direct analysis of Karol G's MI EX TENIA RAZON and how stylistically and aesthetically, it is a direct homage to Selena Quintanilla and her legacy in the Latin music industry. In this episode, she outlines the biography and careers of both Selena and Carolina, the borrowed styles of music across Latin America, a brief overview of Mexican Folk music, and how Selena's legacy is still evident and profound in the Latin music industry today, especially in the way it created space for women to succeed in a male-dominant genre.
