Description

A love letter to the country that drives us mad. Bad Information is hosted by Paige Nichols, who has been lucky (or deluded) enough to call Argentina home for the last 18 years. Each episode explores the aspects of life abroad with an analytical eye, a sense of humor, and a tendency to blame any failures on the astros. From therapy to fashion to diet trends and everything in between, Paige's perspective resonate with expats and locals alike. Tune in to hear about the ups and downs of a cross-cultural lifestyle.

Patriotism in Argentina
2026/06/11
What's that? Another coronación de gloria? The World Cup is upon us and with it come renewed feelings of national pride—or maybe not? Special guest and founder of Las Argies Giuli Vallecorsa joins us to unpack a topic that everybody has an opinion about. What does it mean to be proud of your country? Is it trendy to be from Argentina these days? Does patriotism play out differently in the United States? We talk about fútbol as religion, as a means of fingiendo demencia, and as a balm for the greater issues that ail us. Come for the thought-provoking dialogue, stay for the horrible rendition of the Argentine national anthem!

Dating & Sex in Argentina 2.0
2025/10/13
Ready to swipe right? We're back with an update on what it's like to fall in love—and lust—in Argentina. Fellow yanquis Jackie and Phoebe join us to share their best (worst?) dating stories, and spoiler alert: it's a jungle out there! From the "Cum Olympics" (no, this isn't a joke) to straight men doing the absolute bare minimum, it's actually a miracle anyone is getting laid. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll consider celibacy! However, it's not entirely a lost cause. Are the younger generations more tuned in to emotional responsibility? Who knows! And one last thing—don't forget to get tested!

Mormonism in Argentina
2025/09/15
Gird up your loins and grab your magic spectacles, chiques! Lo recibimos a Elder Clavel, ex-Mormon and practicing homosexual, para hablar de una religión—secta—que tiene una presencia en Argentina más grande de lo que creerías. Nos cuenta el chisme sobre la misión y esa ropa interior especial, su salida del clóset, y cómo el trauma religioso can really mess you up. Also, why are the Mormons so homoerotic?!

Being Queer in Argentina: The B-Side of Pride
2025/08/18
Call us monotemáticas, girl we don't care. Siempre es un buen momento para charlar sobre cómo es ser parte de la comunidad LGBTQIA+ en Argentina, nosierto? En esta instancia los recibimos a Wences y a Tom y nos ponemos bien introspectivos, porque it's not always just about brillantina y plumas, sabés? (Igual, a quién no le gusta un toque de brisho cada tanto morrrrrrrr). Desafiar estereotipos, cuestionar hábitos normalizados, comprender al cuerpo como un acto de resistencia. Esto y mucho más!

Bad Mamis: Maternar en la Argentina
2025/07/16
¿Cómo tomás la decisión de tener un hijo—o no? ¿Cómo es la crianza en un país inestable? ¿Por qué le darían un diento de perro a un bebé? (Seriously, alguien sabe?) Bad Info les da la bienvenida a Romi Viola y a Valentina Ruderman, dos personas espectaculares que encararon el camino de la maternidad con apertura y humor. Nos cuentan de sus experiencias del embarazo, del parto—spoiler alert, hay una bebé que nace en Navidad—y cómo se siguen adaptando a este nuevo capítulo. Las diferencias con USA, la evolución de los roles de género, y qué es lo que les gustaría haber sabido de antemano. Support Bad Info, manden unos cafecitos here.

Feminismo, Maternidad y Qué Hacer con los Incels
2025/06/11
La alegría de recibir por tercera vez (!) a la icónica e inimitable Victoria Viola al universo de Bad Info. Escorpiana, feminista, madre, y comunicadora, Vicky usa la curiosidad como motor para fomentar conversaciones complejas e interseccionales que desafían los prejuicios y las construcciones sociales. En este episodio hablan sobre la baja natalidad, en antipunitivismo, la fijación anal del pueblo argentino, y cómo interactuar (o no) con los votantes de Milei.

Aquí tú hablas español
2025/04/30
Bueno, acá estamos mi gente latino! Bad Information, finalmente disponible en castellano. I know, I know, it’s been a long time coming. Sorry (not sorry)! Y para inaugurarlo, no podíamos invitar a nadie que no fuera Anto, nuestra guía espiritual/emocional/farándulera. Reina del pueblo, locutrola por excelencia, y presidente del Fan Club de Wanda Nara, ella vino a darnos un poco de cátedra, hablar de los temas que impulsan las sobremesas de los últimos días, y comentar mil boludeces más. Sintonicen, disfruten, y NO ME TILDEN DE TILINGA.

New Year, New Bad Info
2025/03/16
It’s the Year of the Snake and Bad Info is truly, madly, deeply back — with a vengeance (?). After going radio silent for far too long (hey, you try creating under the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism!), we’re ready to make a glorious, triumphant, and super gay return to the airwaves. We’ve got updates! We’ve got news! We’ve got intrusive thoughts! Strap on, strap in, and buckle up baby girls, gays, and theys — we’re ready to tackle the new year with aplomb. Or something like that. Un cafecito, por favor https://cafecito.app/badinfo Follow us on Instagram @bad.info Produced by Niebi
Summer Camp: DNU de Catársis
2024/02/01
Where do we EVEN begin? It's like the end of the year in Argentina isn't allowed to be anything less than chaotic, stressful, bonkers, or absolutely unpredictable. With a new government taking over - and making us collectively question the voting populace's intellectual capacity - and temperatures starting to soar, Bad Info HQ is ready to pack up and head to summer camp. While at la colonia de verano, we're laying out all of our grievances and woes. Let's consider it therapeutic, shall we? Joined by special guest (and pseudo-Uruguayan) Laura, we run through a very disorganized laundry list of what's going on with us lately. So pour yourself an ice cold beverage, put that ventilador Liliana to the max, and settle in as we slowly go insane together.

Special Episode: AMA with Paige, pt. 2
2023/10/31
Current status: Fingiendo demencia! Part 2 of the special AMA with Paige is ready for your enjoyment. We really dive into the deep issues here, like if Paige has ever thought about leaving Argentina, what local trends she hates, and if she was more of an "outer space" or "dinosaur" kid while growing up. It's really hard-hitting journalism, people! So sit back, relax, and pretend the world isn't ending - even if it's just for a few minutes.

Special Episode: AMA with Paige, pt. 1
2023/10/17
Getting to know, getting to know all about you... Paige, a chronic over-sharer, felt like spilling her guts so she opened up the Q&A box for the latest episode of the pod. You'll get the answer to hard-hitting questions like if she's ever thought about leaving Argentina, who she'd vote for in the 2023 Presidential elections, and how she realized she was gay. She also gabs about drag queens, astrological compatibility (?), drugs, dogs, and calls out one weird guy who is way too curious about her dating life. It's pretty juicy, so get ready for the tea to be spillethed. Produced by Niebi Follow & Subscribe Spotify YouTube Instagram Support the Pod Un cafecito, por favor
Gentrification in Argentina
2023/09/17
Has your neighborhood suddenly been invaded by specialty coffee shops, "digital nomads," and rescue greyhounds? Congratulations, you've been gentrified. In this episode, we're joined by special guest Facundo Silvera, an urban economist who knows a little too much about why and how this global phenomenon is impacting Argentina. We talk about the changes in the local housing market, the ever-evolving identities of different neighborhood communities, and are quick to remind the "gringos" who have already ravaged Mexico City and Lisbon that maybe they should reconsider before taking over Buenos Aires.

La Farándula: Celebrity Culture in Argentina
2023/08/04
¡AQUÍ TÚ HABLAS ESPAÑOL! Nuestro primer episodio 100% en castellano, so let's brindar por eso! “Ningún ‘afternoon’, ni ningún ‘hello’. Ninguno." Warning: This is probably our most chaotic episode yet. Few things are as bizarre and beautiful as celebrity pop culture in Argentina, and here to enlighten (and/or overwhelm you) are Luli Farrell and Antonella Rogatti, in-house experts on all things B, C, and D list (and so much more). Truly, their knowledge knows no bounds. Honestly, the idea was to follow some sort of linear trajectory with this episode, but you'll soon figure out that things quickly went off the rails - and fast. So just sit back, enjoy the insanity, and maybe get an agent so you can snag a spot on the next season of Bailando por un Sueño.

Feminism in Argentina
2023/07/21
Shania said it best: Let's go girls. Join us as we take a deep dive and explore feminism and the women's movement in Argentina. Our guest of honor is the inimitable Victoria Viola, multi-hyphenate media maven and Scorpio, here to illuminate and educate us in a big way. Argentina is known as a progressive country, and with good reason, but there's still a long road ahead when it comes to securing intersectional equality for all. From the first feminists (who were also anarchists!) to the more recent fight for reproductive rights, it's all here. Come for the bra burning and stay for the collective community!

Uruguay: El Mejor País?
2023/07/07
Who's ready to cross the charco? Make sure you have your trusty mate kit at the ready, because we're heading to Uruguay! Joining us is special guest - and in-house Uruguaya - Laura Ledesma, who comes prepared with plenty of facts and trivia (of dubious origin and/or veracity) about the little República Oriental that could. We get to the root of tough questions, like what is actually in a chivito? What's up with Artigas? Who's in charge of stocking the Duty Free shop on the Buquebus? And finally, Uruguay are you like this? Make sure you've got your best "total white" linen outfit picked out, because we'll be making a stop at the Fiesta Chandón in the very glam (but also very retro) Punta del Este before the summer is out.
