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 are celebrating one of their own. Comedian Chris Sosa joins them fresh off earning four yeses on America’s Got Talent for a conversation about betting on yourself, preparing for the moment you’ve been waiting for, and what happens when the world finally starts catching up to the vision you’ve always had for yourself. In this episode, Chris takes Sasha and Glory behind the scenes of his AGT journey — from preparing a two-and-a-half-minute set where every word had to count to hearing the audience roar after he stepped onstage and yelled, “Latinos, what’s up?” He opens up about managing his nerves, over-preparing for big opportunities, and why he chose the very first joke he ever wrote to introduce himself to the world. They also get into why moving from LA to New York changed his career, what success actually means to him, the “healthy delusion” it takes to keep believing in yourself, and how people can start acting differently when you finally begin to win. And, of course, Sasha puts Chris’s Spanish to the test to determine whether the Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Mexican comedian is really Latino enough.
