About this listen

Bodega Botanica Tales is a short story podcast where ancient myths and modern life collide. Each episode is an original tale inspired by the gossip I heard in bodegas, those times I visited the botánica and the cultural myths and folklore that shaped me. Although many of the tales are rooted in Latinx culture, you don't need to share that heritage to enjoy this podcast. If you enjoyed listening to your family or neighbors talking about traditions, legends or superstitions that made you uneasy, curious, or totally confused, this folklore story podcast is for you. Think ghost stories with a Latinx flavor. All you have to do is subscribe!

As always, a rating or review is very much appreciated.
