Welcome aboard, stargazers—this isn’t just any episode… it’s our 100th orbit around the podcast-verse! To celebrate, we’re firing up the memory thrusters and taking a joyride through our favorite moments across space and time.

We cracked open the cosmic vault to bring you transmissions that made us laugh, cry, and clutch our headphones—like the time Gem’s mom opened up about her experience in prison (yes, that happened), the pranks we’ve pulled across galaxies, and the guests who landed on our couch and stayed in our hearts.

From chaos to catharsis, laws to liberation, it’s all here in this very special look back at the stars who’ve shaped our world—and the stories that shaped us. Whether you’ve been with us since launch or just beamed aboard, come take this interstellar stroll down memory lane. The universe has never sounded so nostalgic.

Buckle up, Earthlings—because our guest is none other than the legendary Emilio Estefan. Music pioneer. Freedom fighter. Grammy collector. Cultural icon. And now? The first Cuban in faux-outer space (pronounced fow-ter). 

With 19 Grammys, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a lifetime of breaking barriers, Emilio’s legacy is already the stuff of history books—but on this week’s episode, we go way beyond the headlines.

We talk about what it was really like to flee Cuba—and rescue his family, the real first band he ever formed, the time he was lost at sea for 7 days without food or water, and the twist of fate that changed everything.

He opens up about being told he was too Latin to make it in the music industry—and how he turned that rejection into a revolution. Plus, he shares his first impression of Gem, fills  the room with laughter through his iconic “Emiliadas,” and reflects on what it means to be a dreamer, a doer, and most importantly, a dad.

To wrap it up, we get a surprise visit from IOOW Season 1 space crew member, Mama Gloria Estefan, talking about the first full length album she’s released in 18 years and her latest single.

It’s soulful, hilarious, and deeply inspiring. Don’t miss our conversation with the man behind the music—and one of the hearts behind this show.

Featuring: Emilio Estefan, Emily Estefan, Gemeny Hernandez

This week, the radiant and ridiculously talented Lauren Jauregui beams up to the mothership for a conversation that’s equal parts poetry, politics, and play. From Fifth Harmony phenom to fearless solo visionary, we dive deep into her evolution as a solo artist, the love laced through her lyrics, her fierce pride in her Latin roots, and the way she weaves advocacy into every fiber of her being. She gives us the scoop on her upcoming album, her soul-baring podcast, and what accountability, healing, and staying grounded in your truth really look like.

But don’t let the depth fool you—it’s also hilarious, playful, and wildly fun. Lauren isn’t just opening up; she’s kicking back with friends. This one feels less like an interview and more like you’re eavesdropping on your favorite group chat in outer space. Tune in for the laughter, the honesty, and the zero-gravity realness.
