It's finally here, Connecting The Dots: Youth Edition. Ignacio spent the second half of 2022 filming episodes with youth or analyzing youth media in an effort to better understand and explore the relationship youth has with media. Media is such a powerful tool for change and many times it is the only access a lot of young people have to learn about the world around them.
The first episode in this series Ignacio is joined by Jules Purnell. In this episode, Ignacio and Jules analyze the song Montero (Call Me By Your Name) by Lil Nas X. Together, they explore the themes in both the song and music video including the layers of masculinity, queerness, sexuality, impact of media on young people and so much more.
If you love these conversations, we would sincerely appreciate your support on Patreon for as little as $2/month.

In this episode, Ignacio and Mandy talk about children's desires and the importance of giving a child meaningful and accurate information so that they can understand their desires without shame. Mandy and Ignacio both share their personal journeys as children with desire, how as a child, Ignacio somehow knew they should be ashamed to feel attracted to girls, and how Mandy was reluctant to express her desire for girls for fear that people would say she was queer because her parent is queer. What do you remember about your desires as a child?
