New York, NY \u2013 October 3, 2022 \u2013<\/strong> Somethin\u2019 Else and Sony Music Entertainment today announced the premiere of the new podcast series All Relative: Defining Diego<\/em>,<\/a> an extraordinary story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its heart, Defining Diego<\/em> is a deeply personal narrative of a mother and son that raises questions about identity, race, family, community, and home, while also digging into larger questions about how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs. Using 20+ years of the family\u2019s archive recordings, this season showcases Laurie and Diego\u2019s relationship for decades, as listeners get access to the sounds of Diego\u2019s childhood and the emergence of his own journey towards self-discovery. As one of more than 50,000 Guatemalan adoptees, Diego is still navigating what it means to be Guatemalan, American, Indigenous and an adoptee raised by white parents. Defining Diego<\/em> invites listeners into Laurie and Diego\u2019s world as they continue to navigate these complex issues together as a family.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I started recording Diego as a baby in Guatemala, I had no idea how many places the story would go,\u201d said host Laurie Stern. \u201cAnd we kept the tape rolling as international adoption got shut down and as our own family wellbeing was threatened, but now I\u2019m so proud that Diego and I are bringing this story to listeners around the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diego Xicay added, \u201cWe realized while making this series that even though Laurie has been reporting and recording all these years, this story is my story too. I\u2019m the one who has to figure out what it really means to be from two very different places. Defining Diego<\/em> is 23 years of me growing up Minnesotan, while also deepening my connection to the Guatemalan village where I was born. And it’s a story I’m ready to tell.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Relative: Defining Diego<\/em> is executive produced by Lizzie Jacobs, Jude Kampfner, and Tom Koenig at Somethin\u2019 Else, a Sony Music Entertainment company.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
