The last time Lido Pimienta was on the podcast, she was about to release La Papessa, and it ended up winning her the $50,000 Polaris Prize.
We wanted to hear her predictions for the future, so we spoke to her again. On this episode, Lido talks about Latina pop star tropes, fat shaming, and how Steve Harvey’s incredible Miss Universe gaffe inspired her next album.
Music on this episode by Kaleema, Mas Aya, and Lido, remixed.
