Bodega Botanica Tales: Short Story Podcast
Bodega Botanica Tales: Short Story Podcast is a collection of original short stories taking place in a fictional neighborhood; I call them bodega stories or botánica stories, all part of my Latinx Storytelling. 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 folklore and Latin American culture, you don't need to share or know that culture to enjoy this podcast. If you enjoy discussing traditions, legends or superstitions that made you uneasy, curious, or totally confused, this short fiction podcast is for you. Want to listen to storytelling rooted in latinx folklore, family heritage and traditions? Then this storytelling podcast is for you! Subscribe or follow to make sure you don't miss the next short story.
