The Wine & Chisme Podcast
The Wine & Chisme Podcast is where meaningful conversations flow as freely as the wine. Host Jessica Yañez creates an intimate space for professionals, artists, and changemakers from communities of color to share their unfiltered stories of career, love, and transformation. Each week, guests "spill the wine" through authentic chisme (Spanish for gossip) on their own terms—challenging narratives about whose voices deserve to be heard. More than a podcast, it's a celebration of untold stories that builds bridges and creates lasting change. Grab a glass and join the conversation every Wednesday. #WineAndChismeWednesday
