La Valentina, with Vale n' Tina, is a podcast about queer friendship that celebrates latinx artists and our accomplices! We are two queer Latinx artists who are exploring the world around us and trying to make sense of it all! In this podcast we will have sticky conversations, choques (clashes), and breakthroughs all at once! Our independent queer podcast is based in Washington, DC and Tulsa, OK and is produced by Zeos Greene, Stephanie Mercedes, and Hoesy Corona.
