I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Jejuan. And this week on our podcast Hungry for History, we talk oysters. Plus the Miami chief stops by.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If you're not an oyster love, don't even talk to me.

[Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez Rejuan]

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No way.

[Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez Rejuan]

Bring back the ostracon. Listen to Hungry for history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's get to it.

[Local Resident / Community Member]

Time to do it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Local Resident / Community Member]

And everybody knows you don't lie about that, right?

[Jonathan Goldstein]

Lauren came in hot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hey y' what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now, getting started this episode, I just want to. Before we hop into any, you know, topics or just anything, I do want to take the time to say rest in peace to d' Angelo Neo, soul legend. I saw some People referring to him as an R and B singer. But you know, I think I was talking to one of the Breakfast Club producers, Nick, who, you know, he plays guitar and like all these different things. And we were talking about the Soulquarians, which it was like a, like a creative collective that d' Angelo was a part of. And I recently watched an interview with Erykah Badu. She was on Please Explain and I love Please Explain because it's a, it's complex. So it's pop culture, but it's very artsy fashion conversations. And I love the hosts. I love the way that she curates conversations with the black artists and creators that come on and, and it's always like a history lesson in educational. But it's very like trendy on topic stuff. And you, you learn things, but you also like getting new news. Like in the same episode, we found out that Erica Badu was going to redo the Bag lady video with Telfar, which is a black owned handbag brand. The host, Arya Hughes. I. So I, I love watching her conversations. But Erykah Badu was on there, I watched this last week actually, and she was talking about the Soulquarians, which a lot of people don't talk about them when they speak to these artists. So you had. And I'm not going to name all of them because I don't know everybody off top. I know Erykah Badu, d', Angelo, which is how we got here in conversation because, you know, this is. I just want to send the rest in peace to d'. Angelo. But and talking about him and just, you know, seeing so many people like recap a lot of his work, his music, his impact culturally, musically, just everything. It made me think a lot about the people that are around you as you were making different decisions to express yourself and how you express yourself and just how you touch the world and what your impact is there. And I just was thinking, I'm like, damn, like. So she's describing these gym sessions between Yassin Bey, Talib Kweli, Common, Questlove d'. Angelo. Like imagine that group of people in the studio and I believe it was Electric lady that they were talking about, that they would like shoot at, you know, or shoot at, that they would, you know, just, just be at and run into each at to each other at all the time. But it was a collective of great minds and great thought seekers.

[Erykah Badu]

So the original Soulquarians are QuestLove J, Dilla D' Angelo and Ali Shahid Muhammad.

[Asma Khalid]

Got it.

[Erykah Badu]

And then came James Poyser. Cause they were all Aquarius.

[Asma Khalid]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. And you were the Pisces and the only woman, right? Yes, yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How did they. How did being around them, how did.

[Asma Khalid]

That change your approach to the making of the music? Like, did they push you in any type of way?

[Erykah Badu]

Absolutely.

[Asma Khalid]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Erykah Badu]

Before I met any of them, before I had boduism, they were the audience that I sought out. Like, I just want these people to hear this, you know, because it didn't mean anything else. You know, it didn't mean much for anyone else at that time for me to hear it. It meant a lot for them, those people to hear it, because I admired them so much and continue to learn from them and grow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I just. I don't know, just made me think of that clip, so, you know, wanted to play that clip here and sending him a rest in peace. D' Angelo passed away at age 51 of pancreatic cancer yesterday, October 14, 2025. And there's just been an outpouring of love for him all over the place from all different types of artists, whether you've, you know, they had the. The honor to meet him, to, you know, just watch his work from afar, all of the things. And his career began at 18. He was in a group, and they won an R B competition at Showtime of Apollo. Showtime of the Apollo. Fast forward drops Brown Sugar, which is like, his debut that debuted. His debut album that debuted number six on the Billboard chart and went platinum back in 1996. And on that album, you had lady, you had Brown Sugar, you had Cruisin'. Bron Sugar actually earned him a Grammy nomination for R and B album of the year. I mean, that song, even as I'm talking about that song, you just hear it. Like, I think the music of a certain time really illustrates your life, no matter what your age is. Like, the old heads, like, the OG is always like, y' all wasn't outside. Y' all don't even understand the feeling. But I think, you know, we might not have been around when the songs were charting and, like, the artists were really, you know, running around, and it was new and they were breaking, and they were the world to love it. But good music has lasted a good art last generation to generation. And that's what. That's what made me think about the story that I heard Erykah Badu tell about working within that collective and just wanting to, you know, throw your art not even at the wall and see if it stuck, but within a group of your peers that you respected and all of those people have created things and brands and conversations that have impacted touch and influenced people for generations to come. Because I got it. I get a feeling when I hear Brown Sugar and I have memories also too. The Brown Sugar movie is my favorite movie. But yeah, I just, you know, it. It's always one of those things that you think about as a person that is creating something that you're putting into the world. Conversation is my art at this point. It's not music, not a music artist, but I always think about how is what I'm doing impacting people. And when you see. And it's sad though that you really had this conversation about a lot of people once they're not here anymore. But I won't go down that rabbit hole. I just yesterday when I was seeing a lot of the, you know, outpouring of artists that were talking about how what d' Angelo did in his career just by waking up and being himself and deciding to explore instruments and show the world that, and explore, you know, his, his sex appeal, his, his Neo. So all the things like how it has impacted so many people so, you know, making sure we send a rest in peace to him, some love to the family, to his family. Yeah. The only right way to start off an episode on a day like today is to do that is to take that time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now in other news, as we shift gears, there's been a new announcement. Netflix is getting into the podcasting business. Now you're probably like, what? Like I hear so many people say, please defund the podcast mics. Too many people have podcast mics and then you get this story about NetFL getting into the podcasting business because they just inked a deal with Spotify. It doesn't mean that they're going to run around giving everybody more podcasts. Spotify is already doing that Black effect. Does it? Better shout out to, you know, gang, gang. But what is going to happen is major podcast with viewership with video. Netflix is going to come in and say, come on over here. We got a home for y'. All. And how's the video podcast? And this is interesting to me because you guys know, and I've talked about this in, in, you know, several different conversations here on the podcast. When I went to Memphis to the podcast fest, the Pot Box Podcast Festival in Memphis, one of the things I talked about was in, when I got in the, you know, got into all of this podcasting because of the Latest with Lauren LaRosa, I didn't really understand the, like, what was the big deal about audio for me? I'm a visual person. I like to see things. I like to see people's reactions. I like to see the laugh, the upset, the cries, like, I just attach to things I can see. I like to see the coloring, the, you know, all of that. Podcasts that are only audio, I can't really think of too many of them. Besides, I will say the Read. The Read. And not necessarily recently, but I remember the Read being one of the first podcasts years ago that I was actually listening to religiously. And I didn't even know what the people looked like because I could only listen to it. And even right now, as I'm talking about the Read, I don't think about what the hosts look like. I think about what their art of their podcast is. You know, the two head figures that like pinkish salmon color, like it's branded around just the art of the podcast. Because they never had video. They still don't have video. Crystal, who now has stepped off and she's doing her own podcast that will be video, but they've never had video. And very successful podcast, but I didn't really understand, you know, what the business was behind the audio. So I feel like I'm learning that as I'm going. And I've really began to understand that with us and our success here at the latest with Lorana Rosa. But I always thought video was like the utmost and foremost important. And then I kind of took a step back from that. Y' all know, we're back. We do have a video component. But when I saw this Netflix deal With Spotify, I'm like, yeah, there it is. That's why. Because, I mean, it's always been a thing that you can do deals for the video Saudi a podcast with networks and like all the people, but for a big platform like Netflix would be like, come here. We need to be in business with y'. All. That means that there is growth happening on the video side of podcasts, and it's possibly growing to not just be a marketing tool, but an actual force in podcasting, because audio is a force. Like, I can't even describe to you guys how much audio from the radio to podcasting has changed my whole life in 365, but it really has. And now I'm reading this article and I'm hearing from, you know, the execs at Netflix and Ted Sarandos, who is the co CEO of Netflix, he gave Deadline a quote when they made this announcement. He says, as the popularity of video podcasts grow, I suspect you'll see some of them find their way to Netflix. And then they have some information here in the article that says last year, Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek said that the number of creators publishing video on Spotify had grown by more than 50% year on year. So with this deal, we will now see Spotify produce series from its Spotify studios in the ringer launch on another platform. One of these shows that that'll be coming on over to Netflix is the Bill Simmons podcast. Anytime you see something like this where a major platform is reevaluating their business structure and bringing something in because it's growing, that means that there's about to be such a centered focus around just that. And don't get me wrong, podcasts are the thing. Everybody's got one. Everybody. There's a lot of people who only do video podcasts, right? They don't even. They're not focused on the audio. For a long time, you know, that has been the. That's been a big no. No to not be focused on audio. And I still think with Netflix getting in the game, that'll still be a thing. Like, I think the way that podcast, the way that podcasts, the way that podcasts have been set up and positioned, audio is literally become like a daily part of people's lives. It's not. It's not live like radio. And I've learned that radio is that as a daily part of people's lives, but it's live like, you can turn me on and hear me while you're headed to your job, right? Podcasting Is that. But it's a bit more like scheduled. You maybe get them once a week, you know, maybe twice a month. The ladies will learn the Rosa we are every day. And we. I try to keep up with like, I don't like doing anything that is going to date itself that may seem old. Because I want to get as close to in the now as I can because of what I've experienced with growth, like just from being on the radio and being in that space. I say all that to say I don't think the way that people connect with audio and they're very intimate and personal moments, whether you're in the car with your children or, you know, you got something in your ears while you're cleaning up. I don't think that there's anything that can trump that, to be honest with you. Not podcasts that have been here and that have built really strong listener foundations. However, I do think with the right platform, AKA Netflix behind it, the right brands that will come. Because not only do these podcasts that are coming over already have their own numbers, but. But Netflix is going to bring a whole nother level of advertising. Podcast video, in my opinion, on a major streamer like a Netflix, it's good. It can potentially, if done right, it could potentially take over talk shows in the TV space, which I will say there's always been reports about how well talk shows in the TV space are doing, whether it's daytime talk show or nighttime talk shows, right? But imagine if your favorite streamer, your favorite, your favorite streaming platform aired a daily talk show that kept you up to date with whatever it is you love to know about. The same way your favorite local CBS or ABC or, you know, Fox Channel did. That's where I always, when I thought about, you know, a podcast and a show, that's what I always thought. I wasn't audio focused first until I got in it and realized the impact of it. But coming into this, I was always like, if we build out the video, we could end up on a streaming platform because that's where people are. And people used to like, even when people ask me like, what's your goal? And I'm like, one of my goals in storytelling is to have a TV show and to be on tv not just as a talk show host, but as an actress and all these things, when I'm thinking about it, I'm like, it's not tv, though. Not in a general and like, traditional way that we think of a TV show, or if I'm acting in a TV series, it's like it's streaming. But think about how many daily talk shows you have on streaming platforms. This is going to unlock a new character. Netflix is on to something here, I do think, and I'm interested to see. I was reading some of the shows that they have and that they will be leaning to in this, you know, first round of this partnership. I do think it's going to be interesting to see what shows serve best from Spotify and or YouTube and, you know, audio and just doing video as like their marketing piece and a visual piece now coming over to Netflix. But I'm also interested to see who's the first platform that's going to do it in a way where we can watch it live. Like, imagine if you take like a Wendy Williams style show, a ladies with Lauren LaRosa, and you put that show daily on a streaming platform, but you do it live with a live audience. So you're able to watch me on your favorite streaming, your Netflix, Amazon prime. And then whenever you miss the live episodes, it's just like On Demand, essentially, but it's meeting people where they already are, which is streaming. Whenever you miss my live episode, you go back and you binge via Netflix or via Amazon prime to be wherever so we look. Who knows? I'm over here trying to speak things into existence. But more so what do you guys think? Where does this, this new partnership with Netflix and Spotify? Where does this end us in a year? Will talk shows and TV shows be as relevant or will everybody be going to streaming for those too? I want to know. Get out there in the streets, in the tweets. Let me know how y' all feeling. It's Lauren LaRosa.
