La Llorona w/ Elena Fernández-Collins

The story of La Llorona is so much more than that trailer you keep seeing with Linda Cardellini. We invited podcast critic Elena Fernández-Collins to tell us a little bit about La Llorona, the historical figure that might have inspired the tale, and her own personal experiences with the spirit growing up in Puerto Rico. We also talk about the strange rules to get into heaven, government influence on the stories we tell, and why you should never yeet your children. This week Amanda recommends Fabrizia Italian Limoncello Margharitas . Elena recommended Cocotazo Media and Flyest Fables .
