In Our Own World

Ever felt like you were born in the wrong decade? Or maybe it was the wrong planet altogether. If you can relate, welcome home. We're Emily Estefan and Gemeny Hernandez, your resident weirdos, young artists, and multicultural couple. And we live In Our Own World. Strap in as we voyage through life’s never-ending questions and pick up a few passengers along the way.

    Flight 100

    Welcome aboard, stargazers—this isn’t just any episode… it’s our 100th orbit around the podcast-verse! To celebrate, we’re firing up the memory thrusters and taking a joyride through our favorite moments across space and time. We cracked open the cosmic vault to bring you transmissions that made us laugh, cry, and clutch our headphones—like the time Gem’s mom opened up about her experience in prison (yes, that happened), the pranks we’ve pulled across galaxies, and the guests who landed on our couch and stayed in our hearts. From chaos to catharsis, laws to liberation, it’s all here in this very special look back at the stars who’ve shaped our world—and the stories that shaped us. Whether you’ve been with us since launch or just beamed aboard, come take this interstellar stroll down memory lane. The universe has never sounded so nostalgic.

    Planet Pops: Emilio Estefan

    Buckle up, Earthlings—because our guest is none other than the legendary Emilio Estefan. Music pioneer. Freedom fighter. Grammy collector. Cultural icon. And now? The first Cuban in faux-outer space (pronounced fow-ter).  With 19 Grammys, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a lifetime of breaking barriers, Emilio’s legacy is already the stuff of history books—but on this week’s episode, we go way beyond the headlines. We talk about what it was really like to flee Cuba—and rescue his family, the real first band he ever formed, the time he was lost at sea for 7 days without food or water, and the twist of fate that changed everything. He opens up about being told he was too Latin to make it in the music industry—and how he turned that rejection into a revolution. Plus, he shares his first impression of Gem, fills  the room with laughter through his iconic “Emiliadas,” and reflects on what it means to be a dreamer, a doer, and most importantly, a dad. To wrap it up, we get a surprise visit from IOOW Season 1 space crew member, Mama Gloria Estefan, talking about the first full length album she’s released in 18 years and her latest single. It’s soulful, hilarious, and deeply inspiring. Don’t miss our conversation with the man behind the music—and one of the hearts behind this show.

    Lauren Jauregui: The Truth Transmission

    This week, the radiant and ridiculously talented Lauren Jauregui beams up to the mothership for a conversation that’s equal parts poetry, politics, and play. From Fifth Harmony phenom to fearless solo visionary, we dive deep into her evolution as a solo artist, the love laced through her lyrics, her fierce pride in her Latin roots, and the way she weaves advocacy into every fiber of her being. She gives us the scoop on her upcoming album, her soul-baring podcast, and what accountability, healing, and staying grounded in your truth really look like. But don’t let the depth fool you—it’s also hilarious, playful, and wildly fun. Lauren isn’t just opening up; she’s kicking back with friends. This one feels less like an interview and more like you’re eavesdropping on your favorite group chat in outer space. Tune in for the laughter, the honesty, and the zero-gravity realness.

    Becky G: Star Power

    In this out-of-this-world episode of In Our Own World, we take a journey through memories, emotions, and cosmic wisdom with a special guest who’s no stranger to the spotlight. Becky G sits down with her real-life friends, our beloved Space Commanders, Em and Gem—and what unfolds is nothing short of magical. From iconic first impressions and what they had to do with a Selena bustier, to the nerves that still sneak in before she hits the stage, Becky G gets raw and real. She shares a heartfelt message to her younger self, her honest definition of love, breaks down the deeply personal layers behind her latest albums, and sheds light on how she stays rooted while navigating the chaos of stardom. No filter, no front. Things get unhinged when Becky G takes on a ridiculous accent challenge—while reading her own quotes. Southern belle? Check. Shakespearean actor? Check. It’s high art, really. Consider yourself warned. This is Becky G unplugged, unfiltered, and completely unforgettable. Tune in for big laughter, true vulnerability, and major inspo—this episode is a time capsule on friendship and a reminder that even the brightest stars are still human.  Featuring: Becky G, Emily Estefan, Gemeny Hernandez See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Gravity of Words: The Poet

    In this episode of In Our Own World, Emmy-nominated poet, performer, and playwright Christell Victoria Roach brings us into the heart of her process—where language meets lineage and spirit meets story. We explore the power of poetry as a living archive—a way to connect with ancestors, honor untold family stories, and breathe life into those who are no longer physically present. We dive into the tension between truth and storytelling—where Christell beautifully reflects the emotional honesty of Blueswomen and the blurred lines between fact and fiction. We reflect on public intimacy in art as an act of courage that invites others to see themselves reflected. Christell speaks to the power of love as a deliberate choice, and as the force that has sustained and strengthened the Black community through generations of hardship. From climbing trees as a child to read books to exploring archives in search of her Bahamian roots, to creating art to preserve memory and reclaim identity, this entire episode unfolds like a poem. Rich with rhythm, memory, and emotion as Christell weaves stories of ancestry, identity, and creativity with the kind of vulnerability that feels both personal and universal.

    Starbound Sheroes: Herstory Reclaimed

    History loves to highlight the loudest voices—but so many brilliant women were the true architects behind revolutions in thought, science, and sound, only to be buried in the footnotes or erased entirely. In this episode, we bring light to the women whose legacies shaped the world—and yet, whose names remain forgotten by most. You’ll meet the woman who taught Socrates—yes, Socrates—laying the intellectual groundwork for Western philosophy. You’ll hear the story of a brilliant human computer whose calculations sent astronauts to the moon while NASA basked in the spotlight. We’ll amplify the legacy of a guitar-slinging powerhouse whose gritty, electrifying playing birthed what we now call rock and roll—long before the genre had a name, long before the men who got famous for her sound. And we'll honor the Mazatec mushroom priestess whose scared psilocybin ceremonies bridged ancient wisdom and modern psychedelic science. These incredible women weren’t just behind the scenes—they built the scenes. It’s time to remember them, honor them, and speak their names for all of the universe to hear.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
