Description
A love letter to the country that drives us mad. Bad Information is hosted by Paige Nichols, who has been lucky (or deluded) enough to call Argentina home for the last 18 years. Each episode explores the aspects of life abroad with an analytical eye, a sense of humor, and a tendency to blame any failures on the astros. From therapy to fashion to diet trends and everything in between, Paige's perspective resonate with expats and locals alike. Tune in to hear about the ups and downs of a cross-cultural lifestyle.

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 getting laid. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll consider celibacy! However, it's not entirely a lost cause. Are the younger generations more tuned in to emotional responsibility? Who knows! And one last thing—don't forget to get tested!Support Bad Information, manden sus cafecitos acáFollow Bad Information on Instagram & YouTubeProduced by Niebi
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 homoerotic?!Support Bad Information, manden sus cafecitos acáFollow Bad Info en Instagram & YouTubeProduced by Niebi
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 estereotipos, cuestionar hábitos normalizados, comprender al cuerpo como un acto de resistencia. Esto y mucho más!BibliografíaSívori, Horacio - Locas, chongos y gaysMelo, Adrián - Historia de la literatura gay en ArgentinaLisbon, Micaela - Sociabilidad homosexual masculina durante la década de 1990Support Bad Info, manden sus cafecitos here.Follow Bad Info en Instagram & YouTube.Produced by Niebi.
¿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 una bebé que nace en Navidad—y cómo se siguen adaptando a este nuevo capítulo. Las diferencias con USA, la evolución de los roles de género, y qué es lo que les gustaría haber sabido de antemano.Support Bad Info, manden unos cafecitos here.Bad Information en Instagram & YouTube.

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 pueblo argentino, y cómo interactuar (o no) con los votantes de Milei.

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 de los temas que impulsan las sobremesas de los últimos días, y comentar mil boludeces más. Sintonicen, disfruten, y NO ME TILDEN DE TILINGA. Un cafecito, por favor:https://cafecito.app/badinfoSeguinos en Instagram & YouTube:instagram.com/bad.info/youtube.com/@badinfopodProduced by Niebi
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 girls, gays, and theys — we’re ready to tackle the new year with aplomb. Or something like that.Un cafecito, por favorhttps://cafecito.app/badinfoFollow us on Instagram@bad.infoProduced by Niebi
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 colonia de verano, we're laying out all of our grievances and woes. Let's consider it therapeutic, shall we? Joined by special guest (and pseudo-Uruguayan) Laura, we run through a very disorganized laundry list of what's going on with us lately. So pour yourself an ice cold beverage, put that ventilador Liliana to the max, and settle in as we slowly go insane together.

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 pretend the world isn't ending - even if it's just for a few minutes.

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 drag queens, astrological compatibility (?), drugs, dogs, and calls out one weird guy who is way too curious about her dating life. It's pretty juicy, so get ready for the tea to be spillethed.

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, the ever-evolving identities of different neighborhood communities, and are quick to remind the "gringos" who have already ravaged Mexico City and Lisbon that maybe they should reconsider before taking over Buenos Aires. Sorry not sorry!

¡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 things B, C, and D list (and so much more). Truly, their knowledge knows no bounds. Honestly, the idea was to follow some sort of linear trajectory with this episode, but you'll soon figure out that things quickly went off the rails - and fast. So just sit back, enjoy the insanity, and maybe get an agent so you can snag a spot on the next season of Bailando por un Sueño.

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 to securing intersectional equality for all. From the first feminists (who were also anarchists!) to the more recent fight for reproductive rights, it's all here. Come for the bra burning and stay for the collective community!

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 chivito? What's up with Artigas? Who's in charge of stocking the Duty Free shop on the Buquebus? And finally, Uruguay are you like this? Make sure you've got your best "total white" linen outfit picked out, because we'll be making a stop at the Fiesta Chandón in the very glam (but also very retro) Punta del Este before the summer is out.

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 gírgolas let it go and ride off into the sunset? Why does everything come in "platito" form these days? And who gets to call dibs on sharing the news on restaurant openings or best kept secrets? Some bridges might have been burned in the process, just FYI.

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 plans, why must we choose between vegan poetry readings and underground sex dungeon orgies?

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.

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.
