About this listen

Ugly Betty was more than just a show - it was a revolution. Bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically real, it gave us characters that shattered stereotypes and told stories that mattered, putting a working-class Latino family, the immigrant experience, and LGBTQ+ stories front and center.

Now, Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato—aka Hilda and Justin—are sitting down to rewatch the show that changed their lives and ours. With fresh eyes and zero filter, they’re revisiting every messy moment, iconic outfit, and groundbreaking storyline, one episode at a time.

This isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It’s a love letter to the show that made being different feel like a superpower. Pull up a chair, there’s room at the table for you!

    Executive Producer Ben Silverman is in the studio to talk about how Ugly Betty really got made from its inspiration in the Colombian telenovela, to ideas that didn't quite get off the ground, to building the team and cast that truly believed in the show and created the world of “Betty the Ugly” as we know it.

    As a special Christmas gift to our listeners, La Familia Suarez is back together again for Mark and Ana’s extended interview with Tony Plana. He talks about growing up in the shadows of the major studios in Hollywood, fighting for the part of Ignacio, and all of the delicious (and very real) food that came out of the Suarez kitchen.
