Inherited host Shaylyn Martos sits down with storyteller Paloma Moreno Jiménez, the creative mind behind Season 3, Episode 2, “Maíz es Vida.” Together, they talk about Paloma’s real-life inspiration for her fantastical story, as well as the joys and challenges of entering the audio industry as a young producer. 
Paloma Moreno Jiménez (she/they) is an audio storyteller and a queer immigrant from the Tijuana-San Diego borderlands. Paloma is passionate about using audio as a missing mic and platform for intergenerational stories from LGBTQ+, POC, and displaced communities. She has interned with WNYC’s Radiolab, WBEZ’s Art of Power, and the Women’s Audio Mission in Oakland. Since graduating from Stanford University, Paloma has reported and produced for Feet in 2 Worlds as well as NPR's Next Generation Radio at USC Annenberg.
