Glorelys Mora and Sasha Merci, two Dominican-American best friends and comedians from New York, co-host the Morir Soñando Podcast — a bilingual, unfiltered, culture-rich comedy podcast built on authenticity, laughter, and community.
The podcast is an extension of their comedy brand Morir Soñando, originally launched as a comedy show in 2019 to uplift Dominican voices in the comedy world and provide space for stories that mainstream platforms often overlook.
The show digs into the Dominican-American and broader Afro-Latino experience, reflecting on cultural nuances, bicultural identity, family expectations, generational differences, and what it means to belong between backgrounds. Hosts talk about experiences growing up in Dominican households in the U.S., navigating expectations around success, family, dating, and culture.
The podcast blends raw humor with candid conversations — nothing is off limits. Glorelys and Sasha riff on everyday life topics like relationships, toxic traits, cringe boyfriends, adulting challenges (e.g., diligencias, life admin), personal growth, spirituality, and more, all while delivering plenty of laughs. Their humor is deeply caught up in real life and the awkwardness, contradictions, and chaos that come with it.
Beyond punchlines, the show creates a space for healing, connection, and shared experience — especially for listeners who feel seen by the anecdotes and cultural reflections. They speak to the immigrant experience, feeling “not enough” of either culture, and finding pride in identity through humor rather than through assimilation.
This week, Sasha and Glory get honest, chaotic, and a little too real about going back to people — exes, old friends, and situations we swore we were done with.
What starts as a conversation about “recycling” quickly turns into something deeper: when it actually makes sense to revisit someone, how your mindset shifts as you get older, and why not every connection is meant to stay in the past. From attachment styles to outgrowing friendships, to realizing some bonds were never that deep to begin with… this one goes everywhere (in the best way).
There’s talk of second chances, boundaries, emotional maturity, and the very real question of whether going back is growth… or just habit.
