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, Glory and Sasha bond over the TV shows that raised them—from childhood obsessions and fantasy worlds to nostalgia, lost media, and the stories that shaped how they see the world.
They talk Lizzie McGuire, That’s So Raven, Roswell, Friends, Charmed, anime, Pokémon, and everything in between—unpacking how TV helped them escape, relate, laugh, and imagine who they could become. The conversation moves through culture, siblings, generational gaps, cable vs no cable households, and why the shows you loved as a kid might still be influencing your taste, humor, and ambition today.
This episode is part nostalgia, part cultural analysis, and part love letter to the stories that quietly raised us—before algorithms, before streaming, when TV felt communal and formative.
