Coco's Barrio Podcast

Coco's Barrio – Teatro del Pueblo's bi-lingual live theater and variety show – is now a podcast! I was a sound engineer and live-on-stage Foley sound effects performer for the original Coco's stage shows. Now I have the honor of recording, associate-producing, sound designing, and editing the Coco's Barrio podcast. It's just like the stage show but more intimate with new surprises. Check out all of our past episodes and stay tuned as a new 10 episode (!) is coming later in 2024 – we've recorded 5 full Coco's shows and are currently in post-production to turn them into episodes.
