TWD 217: Building a Latin Media Empire | Them Damn Mexicans Interview

In this episode of The Weekly D Podcast, host Danny G sits down with David from Them Damn Mexicans (TDM) — a major voice in Houston’s Latin media movement. From growing up in Northside Houston to launching a multimedia brand, David opens up about the grind, the culture, and the mission behind TDM.

They dive into everything from the origins of TDM’s management work and local event curation to their game-changing playlists and podcasting journey. The conversation highlights what it means to build community, stay authentic, and rep your roots while breaking barriers in the music and media world.
