Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero are teaming up once again. The duo, who starred as Rosa Diaz and Amy Santiago in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, are set to host a weekly podcast on iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Podcast Network, titled More Better with Stephanie and Melissa. The podcast is set to launch on May 30th.
In the podcast, the actresses will “take listeners along on a personal ride through all aspects of life and share the juiciest cheat codes for adulting, while throwing in some hilarious anecdotes and probably a few embarrassing stories.” So, basically, it’s just two best friends – who just happen to be famous people, talking about anything and everything.
Fumero said of the podcast: “I am so excited to partner with Wilmer [Valderrama], the whole My Cultura team, and the good folks at iHeart on this new venture of podcasting with one of my favorite people in the whole world Stephanie Beatriz. I hope each week we can make you smile, laugh, feel seen, and maybe add a little joy to your day.” More Better comes from Executive Producer Wilmer Valderrama’s exclusive slate with the My Cultura Podcast Network, a network dedicated to elevating Latine voices and stories.
Meanwhile, Beatriz added: “Melissa and I are in a consistent and hilarious ongoing discussion: it’s been a part of my life since we first met almost ten years ago. We can’t wait to let listeners (and hopefully new friends!) come along as we try to get a little more better at… honestly everything! I wouldn’t call either of us an expert at anything really! But we’re willing to laugh at all of our failures and engage in bad grammar for this podcast.”
“It’s been a dream being able to collaborate with my dear friends Melissa and Stephanie,” added Valderrama, who also referred to the series this podcast is part of, More Better, as “the next chapter in elevating and expanding the Latino reach in mainstream media.”
