Admit it: actively suppressing the urge to break out into song and/or kick off an elaborately choreographed dance number can be exhausting. In this episode, the Comadres throw in the towel and discuss which musical world they’d inhabit to release the song in their hearts and springs in their steps. Allisantos joins a long-standing, magical production that spans both the stage and screen, Abril sets off on a quest across a fantasy realm in perfect four-part harmony, and Susie casts herself as the evil newcomer in a town already plagued by trouble. If you could inhabit any musical world, which one would it be and why? Find us on facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at @comadreandocast to let us know!
Episode 06 - Haunted House

In this episode, the Comadres take drastically different approaches to ensure that they make it out unscathed. Susie relies on the imposing presence of a sassy older friend, Abril brings in the experts to protect her from physical, spiritual, and psychological harm, and Allisantos calls up the one and only BFF who can get them in and out in on with it.

Episode 05 - Misunderstood Villain
BFF love is unconditional, even when our BFFs are straight up villains. In this episode, the Comadres discuss the misunderstood villains they love - terrible reputations and all.

If your BFF were a misunderstood villain, could you make the world see them as a s/hero?
Episode 04 - Robot Friends
Robots may lack the capacity for real human emotion, but that doesn't mean they can't be our BFFs. In this episode, Allisantos and Abril discover that they share the same adorable/ BAMF robot BFF while Susie's BFF makes sure she never has to get an Uber. If your BFF were a robot, which robot would they be and why?

For solo artists, it can be lonely at the top of the music charts, but the Comadres' BFFs have nothing to worry about. Susie sets up wine-and-yoga-pants karaoke nights, Allisantos goes incognito with the ultimate come-back kid, and Abril has had her BFF's back for a solid 20 years. The Comadres also discuss celebrity culture and how their BFFs have managed to stay out of the tabloids. If you could be BFFs with any solo artist, who would it be and why?
Episode 02 - Phone A Friend
In this high-stakes scenario, the Comadres must decide which BFF they would call to lead a rescue mission and extract them from a hostage situation.
