Dolores Fonzi and Leslie Stewart launch cultural podcasts in Argentina, Peru

Argentine actress Dolores Fonzi joined historian Dora Barrancos for the second episode of the audiovisual podcast “Destellos en la Oscuridad”. Produced by Ana Cacopardo, the weekly series blends conversation, reflection and video to explore topics such as political cinema under the far‑right, cultural memory and feminist politicisation. The episode was recorded on 5 October at the cultural centre La Paz Arriba and included personal recollections, including Barrancos’ reference to Rodolfo Walsh’s *Operación Masacre* and Fonzi’s early feminist activism.

Peruvian actress Leslie Stewart appeared with her daughter Ariana Rifai in the YouTube podcast “Ay mamá”, released on the Alta TV channel. The mother‑daughter duo discuss their generational viewpoints and invite guests such as psychologists, entrepreneurs and artists to comment on contemporary life.

Both podcasts illustrate a growing trend of Latin American media personalities using audio‑visual platforms to discuss culture, politics and gender issues across Argentina and Peru.
