In this episode of “The Relationship Type,” hosts Alex Piscatelli and Patty Camerota sit down with a very special guest, Dr. Nate Rodriguez.
Dr. Nate isn't just an Associate Professor and Director at San Diego State University’s School of Journalism and Media Studies; he's also Alex’s personal mentor.
With a profound expertise in radio and teaching about media and pop culture, Dr. Nate shares how our media landscape influences our understanding of self and others. As he unpacks the intersectionality of media, identity and culture, Dr. Nate shares how he crafts his engaging classes around pop culture icons and pivotal moments that he wishes he had when he was growing up. From teaching classes on how the Barbie movie redefined stereotypes, to the cultural impact of Selena, and the boundary-pushing expressions of artists like Bad Bunny and Cardi B, Dr. Nate’s portfolio of courses will have you ready to enroll at SDSU and take on more student debt.
Throughout the episode, you'll gain a new perspective on how media shapes our perceptions of relationships, society, and ourselves. If you, like Alex and Patty, can’t get enough of Dr. Nate, be sure to follow him on social and check out + subscribe to his podcast Sin Vergüenza.
