Las Culturistas is a pop-culture and comedy podcast co-hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers that started in March 2016. It was previously part of the Forever Dog podcast network.[1] Each week, the hosts interview a guest to discuss their formative cultural experiences, as well as a final segment called I Don't Think So Honey.[2] During I Don't Think So Honey, they are each given sixty seconds to rant about an element of culture they find frustrating. Las Culturistas regularly has live shows featuring up to fifty local comedians performing their own version of I Don't Think So Honey.
Co-host Yang recently became the first Chinese-American cast member[3] on Saturday Night Live's 45th season.
Reception
The podcast has received critical acclaim. Vulture has praised it for being original and avoiding guests that might rehash stories told elsewhere.[4] Time rated it one of the 50 best podcasts in its 2018 list.[5] It received a Best Podcast nomination for the 11th Shorty Awards in 2019.
Hiatus
Las Culturistas announced they would be taking a hiatus on their December 18, 2019 show, "Nasal & Ridiculous".[6] They also announced that they would not return via the Forever Dog network.[7] In March 2020, Las Culturistas returned with new episodes on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players podcast network with iHeart Radio.
