Beyond its tacos and color palettes of golds, greens, and reds, Dawntrail is a thoughtful expansion that doesn't just showcase cultures in all of their beauty. It also empowers its characters to tell universal stories, which can be seen deeply within the context of their voice actors' Latinidad. We spoke with Koana's voice actor, Luiz Bermudez, about the role, Dawntrail's impact, and what the voice acting landscape is like for Latinos.
This week, Alex, Adrian, and Neysha talk about media literacy, why it's so important, and perhaps why it's gone down the toilet over time.
Alex and Kate discuss 2010's The Myth of the American Sleepover and whether TV and movies actually do a good job depicting coming of age for anybody, let alone teens from different backgrounds.

Blood of Zeus Season 2 is out now and we sat down to speak with Elias Toufexis, the voice of Seraphim. From villain to a co-lead of the series, this season puts him on a path toward atoning for his past, without seeking redemption for himself in the process. Toufexis takes us into his process as an actor and how he sees Seraphim developing in Season 2 and the future.
After nearly four years, Blood of Zeus is finally here. Animated by Powerhouse Animation from creators/showrunners Charley & Vlas Parlapanides, the second season of the adult animated series hits even harder than the first. We talk Hades, Hera, Seraphim, Heron, and of course expanding the characters beyond expectations.

After his panel at SXSW, I spoke to the actor-turned-studio head Abubakar Salim. Surgent Studios' debut game, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, which is published under the EA Originals banner, is a story about grief. But unlike other forms of media tackling the subject, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a vibrant blend of Bantu mythology, each level taking the player through different emotions and quests to process their loss. We spoke with Abubakar Salim about creating Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, the importance of teaching young men that they can cry and feel pain, too, and ultimately, how grief can't be explained as just one emotion.
We interview director Goran Stolevski about his new movie Housekeeping for Beginners. He shares what it's like growing up in a crowded house, working with young and untrained actors, and the importance of throwing away the rules.
