Our Editor's Take

The hosts of the podcast The Super Secret Bestie Club are as close as friends can get. Curly Velasquez and Maya Murillo talk on the phone every day, multiple times a day. With their podcast, they want to invite other people into their supportive friendship. It is an inclusive space for listeners from any ethnicity, background, gender, and sexual preference. Curly and Maya want their audience to feel safe and accepted as they feel in their relationship. They plan to do that with honest, open, and uncensored conversations.

Both podcast cohosts are Latinx. They are also proud members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Born and raised in Arizona, Maya is a fourth-generation Mexican-American. She first got famous thanks to her successful Vine account. It earned her a nomination for a Latina 30 Under 30 award and a mention in Cosmopolitan. Following that, she joined BuzzFeed's first-ever Latinx channel called Pero Like.

Podcast cohost Curly is the creator of that BuzzFeed channel. The LA native's parents are from El Salvador, and he enjoys celebrating everything Latinx-related. Before content creation, he worked for famous fashion photographers and designers. He started his own fashion line before turning 25 and received the title of an "IT" designer from H&M.

The pair have a lot of professional experience behind them, but they keep it personal on the podcast. The Super Secret Bestie Club is a place for them to talk about dating, loneliness, and stereotypes. They open up about being queer in the public eye and finding their identity. The hosts talk about people they've loved and boys that have ruined their lives. Most of all, they examine how to be the best friend possible. With all the banter, they never forget to provide advice wherever possible.

Curly and Maya are not only candid but also funny and endearing. Their chemistry is unequivocal, and their friendship is passionate. Listening to the podcast, listeners might also find themselves falling in love.
