Maria is the host and producer of a new podcast: Muy Excited with Maria Garcia, a new podcast exploring the moments that shape pop culture. 

Together, they get into some pop culture moments like why the media owes Britney Spears an apology, how JLO sorta pushed back on the spicy Latina trope, and the evolution of said trope.
