Inspired by Chicano mythology and folkways, Looking for Ultima is a fantasy adventure podcast that aims to create heroes out of diverse characters, and celebrate the vibrancy of the Latino experience.

Onésimo "Nes" Chávez lives a simple life in Pueblo, a diverse city on the young planet of Tlalli. Pueblo is filled with elven magic, belted rancheras, otherworldly tech, and most importantly... tamales. Protected by the impenetrable walls of the Haven, people from all the races of Tlalli have come together to live protected from the ultra dogmatic Robes, who seek to bend the planet to their will and image.


But one day, Pueblo's walls come crashing down. With the help of his Tío Valo, a growing group of unexpected heroes, and some really freaky new powers, Nes must race against the nefarious Robes to find the mysterious location of Ultima, and unlock the power hidden within.


 

Looking for Ultima is written, produced, sound designed, scored, and mixed by me… Gio Lobato.

I was born in Denver, and now live in Ciudad De Mexico. I’m a proud Chicano/Mexican-American, and I’m so excited to be combining my love of Latino stories with my passion for scripted audio dramas.

When I’m not making podcasts, I get paid to make music and sound for branded content… Which is pretty awesome.

I also like film photography, and collecting unique instruments.

Thanks for listening!
