Hi stranger, do you remember us? It feels so good to be back on the Hand Me Down Podcast! In this much anticipated episode, Natalia and Alan return to the mics to catch you guys up on what has happened since you last saw them. At the start of the episode, the hosts discuss their feelings about coming back and the fate of the podcast after such a long hiatus. Going into the meat and potatoes of the ep, Natalia and Alan go into a month by month breakdown from May 2024 to June 2025, where they not only discuss personal life updates, but also pop culture updates. From the Kendrick and Drake beef to Jojo Siwa no longer being gay, they talk about it all. At the end of the episode, the the hosts have conversation on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and ICE raids going on in the US, but specifically in Los Angeles. We hope to continue these important conversations about what’s going on in our country and the world. But for now, we also hope you enjoy this episode of the Hand Me Down Podcast!
P.S. We are looking for an editor to help us out with some of our social media clips. If you are interested in joining the team or learning more about editing for social media, please send all inquiries to handmedownpod@gmail.com!

Hello everyone! We’re so glad you are joining us for another episode of the Hand Me Down Podcast. In this episode, Natalia & Alan reflect on the films that inspired them to pursue filmmaking.

Then, the hosts talk about their thoughts on Beyonce’s anticipated album “Cowboy Carter”! After some talks of the April 8th Eclipse, followed by internet corner featuring the Rapper Beef, Jojo Siwa, & Foo News, Natalia & Alan get into the weenie con huevo of the episode. The hosts reflect on their childhood hobbies and their outlets for imagination. Connecting this to their favorite films growing up, Natalia & Alan discuss the depth of meaningful films versus silly imaginative ones. But, as stated in the episode the HMD team has decided to take a break after this episode. We know, we know✋🏼😔🤚🏼We aren’t going away forever, but we want to channel our attention to our own creative ideas, narratives, and ourselves. Asi es la vida!
