Mi Divo - Coming Soon

I am excited for the release of "Mi Divo," an Apple Original podcast on July 1st. Collaborating with Executive Producer Maria Garcia and Director of Engineering Stephanie Lebow on the Spanish version of the podcast has been a fulfilling experience. Working as the audio engineer for the Spanish version, I ensured consistency with the English version and mixed it according to Apple's standards.

“‘My Divo,’ the first Apple Original podcast to be released in both English and Spanish, premiering the first two episodes of the eight-part series globally on July 1, 2024. The legacy of Mexican icon Juan Gabriel, also known as El Divo de Juárez, serves as a guide for “My Divo” host and award-winning journalist Maria Garcia as she goes back to her hometown roots. “My Divo” is the first Apple Original podcast to be a part of the Apple TV+ connected subscription, which gives subscribers early access to all eight episodes of “My Divo” on release day.” - Apple
