What does it take to turn a local voice into a national platform? And how do you keep the momentum going for 500 episodes?
In this special episode of Latinos Out Loud, we're bringing you live insights straight from Podcast Movement NYC, where Rachel La Loca had the honor of hosting a dream-come-true session at one of the podcasting industry's most respected conferences.
Rachel shares the journey of building a distinctly New York voice while creating content that resonates far beyond the five boroughs. From humble beginnings to reaching the milestone of 500 episodes, she pulls back the curtain on the passion, perseverance, community, and cafecito-fueled hustle required to stay consistent in the ever-evolving world of podcasting.
Joining Rachel onstage is friend of the show and returning LOL guest, Commissioner Rafael Espinal, Commissioner of the New York City Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. Rafael discusses the city's growing commitment to supporting creators, entrepreneurs, podcasters, and storytellers through resources and opportunities designed to help New Yorkers amplify their voices and build sustainable creative careers.
