    My favorite, most relatable podcast ever
    I love Jenny and Joanna!! They both have amazing ways to talk about interesting topics, stories, and intricacies of what it means to be hyphenated. I’m a Colombian American 25yr old woman who lives in south Florida so I relate so much to their stories and I feel like they’re my friends when I listen to the podcast. I’ve listened to all the episodes probably 3 times each because I miss them so much. I know they said they were taking a break but I NEED JENNY AND JOANNA BACK!! They were with me on my commute to my very toxic job at the time and they were the comic relief I needed to take on my day. I hope they can make their return soon so I can hear more of their stories

    Johana and Jenny , I love your podcast. I’m a Jewish/ Latino- USA veteran born and raised in Chicago, IL Midwest. My mother is of Jewish - Mexican and my father is Jewish- Brazilian Omg , yes I am always asking Why do I need to pick what I am. I am Jewish and Mexican and Brazilian Lol 😝 That issue is that I am 6foot 4 inches tall and 230lbs man , with olive skin that wears a Kippha

    Relatable!
    I love how I share so many life experiences with both Jenny & Johanna. I’m a hyphenated Salvadorian-Puerto Rican, born in Chicago. It’s fun because I also lived in NYC. Anyways, if you love to laugh, talk about culture, and also are a deep thinker, this is a podcast for you.

    Episode 22
    The show is simply brilliant! As a Colombian man, I find so much relatable. Especially the discussions on extended family. Well done! By the way, I would have loved your take on the naming of the Montana mountain range. The Grand Tetons. Ha ha. Keep the laughs and insights coming .👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • BEAGALIN
    Gracias
    Great, maravillosas, me encantan. Amo oirlas cambiarse de ingles a español a venezolano…super cool, increibles. Son del más alla. Siiiiii amamos ser Venezolanos, como hablamos, como vemos la vida. Eres una representante plena de nuestra cultura actual.

    Hilarious
    Every week I look forward to the hilarious episode from this podcast. Jenny and Joanna make their topics so relatable! They are both down to earth, open, and honest. As a Venezuelan American I love listening to them speak in Spanglish (*normalizing hearing Spanglish is another topic I could go on about for forever) and talk about Latin culture. :)
  • yoobi1234
    Amazing
    I’ve been looking for ways to practice my Spanish skills and this podcast is awesome because of the Spanglish. I love learning about different aspects of Hispanic culture from a hyphenated perspective. These ladies never fail to make me laugh!

    Love it
    Love the topics, love Jenny, love Johanna!
  • Cafecaro
    I feel seen!
    Having lived in the hyphen for all of my life, this podcast is so refreshing. Love listening to both of the host speak on topics that are unique to niche hyphens in society. From queer life, Spanglish, Latin(x - LOL and how ppl get mad about that) to living with ADHD as a latina. I felt seen by these wonderful gals. Keep up the great work ladies. Besitos!
  • A.A.M.L
    Gracias
    Hello, I love hearing about you and your experiences. It may me laugh and think. And I’m loving the Princess of South Beach too. On Episode 46, love what Johanna said about the nostalgia la diáspora feels and how we miss a geographical place and a moment in time. I’m from Puerto Rico so I have had the privilege to visit several times since I left. Even after a few years is different. Sometimes it’s hard to understand that, that la patria que dejaste es viva, las cosas siguen cambiando. Así que cuando pensamos en la patria y hasta cuando pensamos en cómo apoyarla tenemos que pensar en cómo es la patria hoy y no como la dejamos. Ojalá ambas algún día puedan visitar Venezuela y Cuba sin miedo a repercusiones.

    Speaks to my experience on a million levels
    As a bicultural Latine/Hispana, this podcast speaks to so much truth about my experiences in way that is not often done. Super validating, super funny, I love. Thanks ladies!
  • 1n3z
    Super Hyphenated
    living in the hyphen means you drive the bilingual struggle bus (guagua, bus, o el omni 🤣). I remember realizing Farm Store was named as such when I learned to read and said out loud “Mami! Esto no se llama La Vaquita, esto es el Farm Store” her response “ay Tata, es que decirle La Vaquita es más fácil” 🤣🤣🤣
  • trying to sudy
    We can do better
    Ana said it best in another review. I loved this podcast at the start it was so excited to see where it would go. It quickly became clear that rather than expanding the exploration of the hyphen to people who are actually marginalized by living at the intersection different identities, we are just listening to the “struggle” of white privileged latinas who refuse to accept that “taking up space” also applies to them. This would be a great show if they made an effort to get non white straight privileged ppl on to talk about their own experiences rather than just giving their hot white liberal take on other peoples experiences. Being white Latina comedians who think they're always right about everything without needing to hear and learn from other people isn’t actually a great look.
  • mercedes benzaquen
    Funny and deep!
    Such chemistry between the hosts! Every episode is a blast
  • Denisse Villalba
    Yess and yess
    Omg so happy I found you guys!! Soy Mexican American y todo lo que dicen is so relatable!! I feel like I’m talking to my girlfriends! Love you guys! Keep up the good work!
  • AnaCardona0119
    So refreshing for all the hyphenated latinxs
    I love both of these women separately. And to have them TOGETHER in a podcast and listen to them speak is a joy that I didn’t even know I needed. As a Mexican-American I’m sorry but everything has to be spicy o no tiene sabor and it is so fun to hear other hyphenated Latinas talk about their own struggles and frustrations that we all experience. New favorite podcast! My little chicana soul is so happy. Update 27 episodes later You really shouldn’t meet your idols. Lol I was really excited about this podcast after episode 1. But listening to it after all this time it’s really hard not to see them as problematic, highly, HIGHLY privileged, thin, white, latinas (in that order). And that wouldn’t even be my main issue with them if they owned it, acknowledged it AND made space for those Latinx women of color who are not heard. But they don’t and they try really hard to equate their struggles to that of people who actually are suffering and don’t fully recognize their privilege in every sense of the world. At the end of the day they’re both white women who have had to market their appearances as their brand to be successful. Yes they have their issues like the rest of us but they speak on topics that they literally have benefited from their entire lives - racism/colorism, body type, etc and don’t use their platform for anything beneficial. It just really, REALLY opened my eyes to how skewed the US millennial/gen z representation is to White latinxs from mitu/buzzfeed Latino etc. With the exception of the literal 2 Dominicans they share. Tldr; if you like them as comedians and who they are from their previous work, don’t listen to this podcast.

  • mstnini
    Thank you

    Identity Policing and living in the Hyphen
    The honesty of episode 12, title “Identity Policing,” is absolutely important! Thank you, hermanas, for what you do.
  • MaddieLA
    I can relate in so many levels
    Honestly love how you both speak your truth. Many topics remind me of my own journey as I am born and raised in Los Angeles by parents who came to USA from El Salvador and Honduras in their own unique journey. Las felicitó 🧡🙌🏼
  • Papiof3
    I Love the two if you! I would rather be called Generation Ñ.. then LatinX..
    Im not a Miami Native, I was born in Pinar de Rio, Cuba, salimos para España, entramos a USA, por Puerto Rico lived there for 5 years and got to Miami during El Mariel in 1980!! Listening to you guys puts me back there! Specially listening to ¿Que Pasa, USA? And my up bring… I wish I could see you guys doing a live show!!! By the way, I’m in Lake Wylie, South Carolina in the Charlotte Area in NC. Your show puts me back in MDCC, with all the different voices of Miami, listening to you guys!!
  • ByTheSlice
    A top-notch podcast.
    These two women are intelligent, funny, & completely entertaining. As a Colombian-American, I relate to their feelings of wavering in the middle of two worlds/cultures. I also appreciate how they share their vulnerabilities with a refreshing amount of honesty. This podcast is truly a gem.
  • teresita45
    Hits home!!
    I’m older than both of these lovely ladies but we share so much in common!! I too grew up in Miami, like Jenny! And they make me laugh out loud. Stay hilarious, ladies!!-Teresita
  • Katiep1011
    Ok so I loveeee Joanna and Jenny…
    But now I love LP. Thanks for having awesome guests. Also for being hilarious, genuine, original… you ladies don’t know how much you make me laugh and sometimes want to cry (leave me alone, I’m sensitive lol). Much love to you.
  • fanaticgrl
    Awesome platform for Latinx
    I cannot wait for this show every week. I wish it was on daily! I am first generation Salvadoran American born in the US to immigrant parents from El Salvador. Of course my experience is unique and mine but your podcast proves that our own unique experiences can generate empathy and connection all around the world. Thank you for creating a platform where I feel seen and heard. Continue to be awesome y que vive la raza y mi gente!!
  • nina jackman
    Yes
    I am a Nicaraguan/American/english girl that has been the gringa when I visited and lived in Nicaragua just because my dad is white as bread but then my mom is morenita/native to Nicaragua, but then my last name is Jackman.. basically I’m not nica enough or American enough. and i constantly feel so lost with identity especially now since I moved from Miami(where i was born and raised) to Raleigh, North Carolina 🤠 this podcast brings me a sense of relief that I am not the only one out there feeling this way! Thank you girls!!
  • amazing app adn its very usful
    LOVE IT
    I’m Cuban-Peruvian-American and I can relate to a lot of these episodes! Great podcast for when you feel out of place and you need a laugh
  • ChristyMolly
    Spanglish
    I love listening to this show. It reminds me of growing up in Orlando Florida & going to escuela with muy Puerto Rican (and many more nationalities) friends. Listening to these 2 is hilarious & also hearing Spanglish reminds me of my middle & high school days.
  • Tu prima la bemba
    Demasiaaaao alabao!
    These ladies know their stuff and did not come to play. They are authentic, fair and well-informed in their views and reports. I feel like I’m checking in on my sisters every week. Coming from a cuban-american-venezolana-sifrina-patasucia.. i just have to say that I feel seen and so will you!
  • Tio Joey

    Hilarious
    I can’t love this podcast more than I already do!! I laughed, I cried laughing. Joanna and Jenny are the perfect podcast couple. I can’t wait to listen more episodes 🤩
  • d.bunny
    Relatable
    I love this podcast. Every single time I listen to an episode, I become so amazed in how relatable it is. I feel as if someone comprehends where I come from and it helps remind me to accept myself for who I am. Thanks!
  • monesque
    the podcast that makes me feel so seen
    This is, hands down, my favorite podcast right now! I just discovered it yesterday and have already listened to 10 episodes. Jenny and Joanna touch on aspects of my own story and identity that I have often felt out of touch with. I feel more connected to my culture and sense so belonging the more I listen to these episodes. Listening has not only been cathartic and even healing but also has been super entertaining. Their humor, sincerity, vulnerability and authenticity makes this podcast the best!
  • thirdplaceandy
    Incredible, funny and interesting podcast!
    Hyphen-ated has become one of my favorite podcasts. Both anchors are amazing, the topics they choose are interesting and most important are well documented. Their comments are smart but funny. Great content and great work!
  • lilinsnow
    I feel at home listening to you ladies
    I feel so connected to this podcast because you talk about identity the way that I have been experiencing it too. I was born in New York to Honduran parents, then raised in honduras since the age of 1 and then loved to Miami at age 12. So I’m a mezcla de todo. And now to top it off I’m in France living an adventure with my kids and my Cuban husband learning French and trying to incorporate myself in this tough culture. So now I really don’t know who I am and my lenguas are all intermingled - Español, English and Français. Thank you for creating this space.
  • AlexTC_30
    Cool
    Ser multicultural es lo máximo, más ser Venezolana por nacimiento de padre portugués de padres portugueses y de mamá colombiana de padres americano y española. Casada con un portugués- americano y explicarles a mis hijos q ser multicultural es excelente. Ustedes ponen mucho sentido a esta multiculturales personas. Gracias chicas. PD. I love the show and sorry I didn't write in English
  • cubanitaInPNW
    Dale candela!
    Me siento identificada! Hyphenated intersectionality with some laughs is what’s up! Keep making space for these counter-narratives please. Arriba la diversidad cultural!
  • Pita's Meowmy
    So relatable!
    I’ve followed both Joanna and Jenny for a while and I’m so thrilled they decided to join forces and launch this podcast. Every topic is so relatable. Like Joanna, my family immigrated from Europe to South America and I have lived everything she has mentioned in the podcast. Jenny is from Miami, where I spent most of my adulthood life. Her stories are so real and funny. I cried in the episode when you talked about the Abuelitos. I love, love, love your podcast!!
  • Flaka Omaha
    I love listening to you both!
    Thank you for your perspective. I can identify with so much of what you talk about even though I’m a gringa, born in Medellin to German parents who then emigrated to the US before I was 2, married to a man whose dad is an Iraquí Jew and whose mom is a German Jewish refugee. Love hyphenated!!
  • Lu_pink
    Love this
    I was thinking the same thing. People putting bats(the animal) in butts. I was laughing when we learned it wasn’t the animal
  • Latina and...
    Being Latina, “white” and Jewish
    Joanna, I really relate to the show and your experience. I’m from Argentina, 100% Latina. What’s up with stereotypes ladies? Thanks for the show Silvina
  • Bezzi yo L
    Encourage folder 😃
    Hola!!! Me encantan las 2, sigan así! Nunca dejen que una cuerda de idiotas ignorantes las hagan dudar de lo hermosas y especiales que son. Las quiero!!!! Un abrazo muy grande.
  • irisquiroga
    Love this podcast!
    This is such a funny and relatable podcast! I love listening to Joanna and Jenny talk about the funny or serious topics in Latino culture in America. I look forward to this every week! They both share such unique experiences and perspectives that are specific to them yet super relatable and it’s so nice to hear their stories and feel represented and see that there are others who feel this way as mixed or hyphenated Latin American people. Talking about identity isn’t so easy but the fact that they stay true to themselves is what matters because even if it’s not how everyone lives out their identity there are many things in common that can make us feel united as a community.
  • Mgonzortega
    Identity Policing
    The conversation on identity policing was so good. As someone who was never Cuban enough for people, I can really relate to how we see ourselves.
  • Cannoli24
    From YouTube to now
    I’ve been watching you two for years on YouTube and I’ve been secretly hoping you two would do a video together. When I saw one day that one of you liked the other’s video, I was like omg it’s happening! And now here you are with this podcast. I freaking love it!!! I find you both so inspiring and I’m not even Latina. I’m actually (*holds a quick breath*) a gringa Spanish teacher! 🙈 (I know- what a weirdo). I feel a little like an outsider but the Spanish language and culture have been such a part of my life (and kind of my identity) for such a long time that I really just enjoy you both very much. Looking forward to a long lasting pod! Thanks for being so awesome!
  • orozcoec
    So refreshing
    I love both of them!!! You guys are doing a great way expressing everything that I think. I am like omg they get it because you guys grew up bilingual
  • LLF-P
    Just too amazing these two
    I like how funny they are! They get real with a sense of humor. I like their comedy on IG but it’s them, not in character, on their podcast and enjoy that a lot.
  • Lanialicea
    Eso!
    This podcast has given me a sense of peace. I no longer feel that Im not the only one living in this space. Im obsessed! Keep going!
