Actor Kate del Castillo got her start 30 years ago in Mexican telenovelas like Muchachitas. She made her Hollywood debut in a leading role in 2007, but her stature as an international celebrity skyrocketed in 2011 with La Reina del Sur (Queen of the South). She portrayed Teresa Mendoza, a woman from Mexico who becomes the most powerful drug tracker in the south of Spain. The Telemundo "Super Series" broke viewing records, with the debut season's finale outperforming all U.S. television networks, regardless of language. Season 2 premiered eight years later in 2019, completing its run as the #1 rated U.S. program in its time slot, regardless of language. In 2015, del Castillo brokered an interview between actor Sean Penn and infamous drug trafficking head Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, for which she was investigated by the Mexican government.

In this interview with The Revolución co-hosts Diego Lastra, Kathryn Garcia Castro, Linda Lane González, and Court Stroud, Kate talks about filming La Reina del Sur (Queen of the South), her side of the Sean Penn - El Chapo controversy, and her activist work to end human trafficking. La Reina del Sur will return for season 3 in October.

Former Miss America Vanessa William made her Broadway debut in 1994 as the title role in “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Seated at the piano during rehearsals was a musician named Seth Rudetsky.

Years later, she had become a multiplatinum recording artist and star of television, film, and stage. He was an Emmy-nominated writer, composer, and popular host on Sirius/XM’s Broadway channel. They were placed near each other at a wedding. “We were like chitty chat, chitty chat,” Seth remembers. He then said, “I do these really fun concerts, where instead of doing scripted patter, I get to interview you in between each song. It's really spontaneous.” Vanessa said, “Sure. Yeah!” And they’ve been doing these shows together ever since.

The friends join The Revolución podcast co-hosts Linda Lane González, Diego Lastra, Kathryn Garcia Castro, and Court Stroud to chat about the 2022 Tony Awards, their careers, LGBTQ Pride Month, and their upcoming concert in New York City's Town Hall.

Most books have a quiet birth, but not “Neruda on the Park” (Ballantine 2022). Cleyvis Natera’s debut novel has been trumpeted by NBC’s “The Today Show” as one of its “what to read this summer” recommendations. Elle Magazine named it among the season’s “must-read” books. The positive New York Times review called the work “earnest, provocative” and praised the author’s style as “refreshingly direct and declarative . . . a mirror capturing the bleak comedies of life in a threatened community.” Publications like The Rumpus, Electric Lit, The Millions, and Lit Hub selected the newly released title as one of the year’s most anticipated. Natera talks with The Revolución co-hosts Kathryn Garcia Castro and Linda Lane González about the story behind her desire to be a writer, her family’s reaction to her novel, and when she first discovered the poetry of Pablo Neruda.
