A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Loving these Latin American urban legends being brought to life in a really enticing creative way. Each story has been fun to follow. I highly recommend and cannot wait for the next episodes to come out! Keep them coming, por favor!

whvtitiz · Jan 2025

This is by far my favorite podcast, I love anything horror and to make it better it’s based off Hispanic stories we’ve all been told growing up! Give it a listen it will never disappoint.

CelinaCarrillo · Jan 2025

This podcast is amazing, I love how it is a theater of the mind, with an audio drama cast. And I love Latin Folklore and paranormal tales. Any chance of maybe adding in Brazilian and Filipino folktales? Those two cultures have a strong Latin influence too. I always look forward to a new tale each week!

Chief Jehoshaphat 78 · Dec 2024

I love a good scary story and this podcast delivers while also teaching you about Latin culture and where their legends originate while being told from a modern perspective. Very well made!

BangarangJane · Dec 2024

I don’t mind having ads at the beginning and end of a podcast but there’s too many littered throughout it. It disrupts the storytelling and makes it difficult to get back into. Unfortunately had to drop it because of the way the ads were scattered in.
