Bad Information

What's that? Another coronación de gloria ? The World Cup is upon us and with it come renewed feelings of national pride—or maybe not? Special guest and founder of Las Argies Giuli Vallecorsa joins us to unpack a topic that everybody has an opinion about. What does it mean to be proud of your country? Is it trendy to be from Argentina these days? Does patriotism play out differently in the Uni...

Ready to swipe right? We're back with an update on what it's like to fall in love—and lust—in Argentina. Fellow yanquis Jackie and Phoebe join us to share their best (worst?) dating stories, and spoiler alert: it's a jungle out there! From the "Cum Olympics" (no, this isn't a joke) to straight men doing the absolute bare minimum, it's actually a miracle anyone is gett...

Gird up your loins and grab your magic spectacles, chiques! Lo recibimos a Elder Clavel, ex-Mormon and practicing homosexual, para hablar de una religión—secta—que tiene una presencia en Argentina más grande de lo que creerías. Nos cuenta el chisme sobre la misión y esa ropa interior especial, su salida del clóset, y cómo el trauma religioso can really mess you up. Also, why are the Mormons so hom...

Call us monotemáticas, girl we don't care. Siempre es un buen momento para charlar sobre cómo es ser parte de la comunidad LGBTQIA+ en Argentina, nosierto? En esta instancia los recibimos a Wences y a Tom y nos ponemos bien introspectivos, porque it's not always just about brillantina y plumas, sabés? (Igual, a quién no le gusta un toque de brisho cada tanto morrrrrrrr). Desafiar estereoti...

¿Cómo tomás la decisión de tener un hijo—o no? ¿Cómo es la crianza en un país inestable? ¿Por qué le darían un diento de perro a un bebé? (Seriously, alguien sabe?) Bad Info les da la bienvenida a Romi Viola y a Valentina Ruderman, dos personas espectaculares que encararon el camino de la maternidad con apertura y humor. Nos cuentan de sus experiencias del embarazo, del parto—spoiler alert, hay un...

La alegría de recibir por tercera vez (!) a la icónica e inimitable Victoria Viola al universo de Bad Info. Escorpiana, feminista, madre, y comunicadora, Vicky usa la curiosidad como motor para fomentar conversaciones complejas e interseccionales que desafían los prejuicios y las construcciones sociales. En este episodio hablan sobre la baja natalidad, en antipunitivismo, la fijación anal del pueb...

Bueno, acá estamos mi gente latino! Bad Information, finalmente disponible en castellano. I know, I know, it’s been a long time coming. Sorry (not sorry)! Y para inaugurarlo, no podíamos invitar a nadie que no fuera Anto, nuestra guía espiritual/emocional/farándulera. Reina del pueblo, locutrola por excelencia, y presidente del Fan Club de Wanda Nara, ella vino a darnos un poco de cátedra, hablar...

It’s the Year of the Snake and Bad Info is truly, madly, deeply back — with a vengeance (?). After going radio silent for far too long (hey, you try creating under the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism!), we’re ready to make a glorious, triumphant, and super gay return to the airwaves. We’ve got updates! We’ve got news! We’ve got intrusive thoughts! Strap on, strap in, and buckle up baby gi...

Where do we EVEN begin? It's like the end of the year in Argentina isn't allowed to be anything less than chaotic, stressful, bonkers, or absolutely unpredictable. With a new government taking over - and making us collectively question the voting populace's intellectual capacity - and temperatures starting to soar, Bad Info HQ is ready to pack up and head to summer camp. While at la co...

Current status: Fingiendo demencia! Part 2 of the special AMA with Paige is ready for your enjoyment. We really dive into the deep issues here, like if Paige has ever thought about leaving Argentina, what local trends she hates, and if she was more of an "outer space" or "dinosaur" kid while growing up. It's really hard-hitting journalism, people! So sit back, relax, and pr...

Getting to know, getting to know all about you... Paige, a chronic over-sharer, felt like spilling her guts so she opened up the Q&A box for the latest episode of the pod. You'll get the answer to hard-hitting questions like if she's ever thought about leaving Argentina, who she'd vote for in the 2023 Presidential elections, and how she realized she was gay. She also gabs about dra...

Has your neighborhood suddenly been invaded by specialty coffee shops, "digital nomads," and rescue greyhounds? Congratulations, you've been gentrified. In this episode, we're joined by special guest Facundo Silvera, an urban economist who knows a little too much about why and how this global phenomenon is impacting Argentina. We talk about the changes in the local housing market...

¡AQUÍ TÚ HABLAS ESPAÑOL! Nuestro primer episodio 100% en castellano, so let's brindar por eso! “Ningún ‘afternoon’, ni ningún ‘hello’. Ninguno." Warning: This is probably our most chaotic episode yet. Few things are as bizarre and beautiful as celebrity pop culture in Argentina, and here to enlighten (and/or overwhelm you) are Luli Farrell and Antonella Rogatti, in-house experts on all th...

Shania said it best: Let's go girls. Join us as we take a deep dive and explore feminism and the women's movement in Argentina. Our guest of honor is the inimitable Victoria Viola , multi-hyphenate media maven and Scorpio, here to illuminate and educate us in a big way. Argentina is known as a progressive country, and with good reason, but there's still a long road ahead when it comes...

Who's ready to cross the charco? Make sure you have your trusty mate kit at the ready, because we're heading to Uruguay! Joining us is special guest - and in-house Uruguaya - Laura Ledesma, who comes prepared with plenty of facts and trivia (of dubious origin and/or veracity) about the little República Oriental that could. We get to the root of tough questions, like what is actually in a c...

Anyone in the mood for a tostado mixto? We're talking about food in Buenos Aires (again!), this time in the company of special guest Irina from the mega-popular Instagram account @BuenosPaladaires_ . From gastro guilty pleasures to trends we're absolutely sick of seeing on menus across the city - and everything in between - we roll up our sleeves and chow down on some goss. Like, when will...

Hi gay! We're feeling our queer oats and want you to do the same. Grab your poppers and join special guest (and resident lesbian) Barbara Pavan to chat about the ups and downs of being queer in Argentina. In this episode we ask the tough questions, like what's the Pride vibe every year? Cómo se dice "U-Hauling" en castellano? And most importantly: when it comes to making weekend...

Why kick the season off on a high note when we can start complaining right out of the gate? A perennial favorite, Libro de Quejas is an open forum to whine and moan about extremely mundane problems. Join Paige and a special guest on the journey from blasé baristas to hard-to-find hummus (and sadly, everything in between), the real treasures are the complaints we made along the way. Follow & Su...

To quote Sir Elton John: The b*tch is back! That's right, what was meant to be a brief hiatus became a hibernation longer than an average Saturn return. But who cares?! Tune in for all the hot goss and a little preview of what's to come in the much-awaited new season of Bad Information.

Hola, acá en la pile con calor... Hi friends! It's been a minute. Thanks for your patience, en serio. We've got some updates and announcements about the pod for you. Wishing you a happy new year and see you soon for Season 3 - stay tuned!

What a year, right? Join Caro and Paige this week as they close out the season with a tough conversation about systemic racism - in both Argentina and the US - and how current events have forced them to reevaluate, well, pretty much everything. There are no easy answers to the questions that are raised, but opening up the platform for honest discussion is certainly a start.

Pass the mescaline, please! No, really, it's for therapeutic purposes. This week, Caro and Paige revisit the world of therapy in Argentina, from more traditional practices to lesser-known alternative approaches and everything in between. Joined by special guest Fran - let's call him the King of Therapy - they explore what it's all about, especially in comparison to how therapy is vi...

¿Che, qué hacés el finde largo? Argentina is a vast country, and there's much more to life than what can be found within the limits of Capital Federal. This week, Paige and Caro pack their mochilas, book their bus tickets (semi-cama o cama ejecutiva?), and discuss the adventure that is traveling around la República Argentina. Spoiler alert: there might be elves involved.

Contrary to popular belief, this podcast isn't entirely about complaining. Weird, right? But this week, Caro and Paige - joined by guest star and class queen Phoebe - get cathartic about anything and everything, analyze the high-stakes nuances between "quejas" vs. "reclamos," and so, so much more. 

Argentines are good at a lot of things - soccer, tango, disrespecting personal space - but they excel the most at friendship. It's really not up for debate, just FYI. This week, Paige and Caro explore the time-honored institution that is amistad in all its forms as well as the nuances of making friends as an adult living abroad. From the grupos to the questions nobody asks to the stress surro...
