This week:
Opening night of Brown & Out (Thulio's playwright era unlocked), theater audiences treating it like a group chat, bimbofication scandals, Sisters in Christ burritos, and the WGA staff strike exposing how unaffordable LA really is.

Plus a Punch-Up on indie artists who won't drop their music… and moderates who keep flopping.

La Lista Podcast host Rubén Mendive and writer Thulio DaSilva ditch the formal interviews and hop on the mic for quick, unfiltered conversations about their chaotic creative lives — covering new writing projects, hot takes on industry trends, dating disasters, and whatever discourse the algorithm served them that morning.

Come See Brown & Out at the LA LGBT Center April 10th!
