Buddha Babes (pt. 2 w/ Z Infante)
Welcome to the second half of my reunion with the INCREDIBLE Z Infante (they/them) from the little known art house film School of Rock. We talk about facing bullies, queer coded villains, and guess what...I maybe shed a tear at Z's "What Would You Say To Little You?" because it hit me RIGHT in the feefees.

Customer Reviews
Something to look forward to every week!
Thank you Rivkah for pulling back the curtain and allowing these public figures to share their humanity with the world! Highly recommend giving it a listen if you’re a creative person or have ever questioned your life’s path. The conversations are raw and deeply personal but also uplifting and hopeful.
I pledge allegiance.. to Where Are We Now.
This podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed and more. Riv is an absolute treat to listen to (literally could listen to their voice forever, not to be dramatic.) There are so many layers to this show from light and fluffy to serious issues that are good to talk about. I look forward to these episodes and have loved every one so far, but as a low key degrassi fan, the Andrea Lewis one has been my absolute favorite. One of the most important things I love about this show is how Riv concludes it, reminding us we are loved which just filled my soul with such great energy the first time I heard it, and every time since.
Fun for fans and the curious!
If you ever wondered “what is that actor going now?” or “what happened to so and so?” then this is THE POD FOR YOU! Rivkah Reyes shares conversations and life updates with fellow former child actors and what’s going on in their world today. Filled with laughter, hot takes, and REAL stories, this podcast is a FULL EXPRESSION. Reyes is bright, welcoming, and proudly honest — the kind of host you invite over for an afternoon tea :). Love it and looking forward to learning more with and from them as the series progresses!
