- Not for me
I used to love this show because of the espooky tales. But it seems the tone of show has shifted. Carmen tends to be more serious and she is not personable. She tends to focus on being right when Cristina is telling stories. Carmen constantly interrupts her. There is nothing wrong with the tone of show changing but maybe it’s no longer about espooky tales so the name should be changed.

Apple Podcasts5Love max!United States2 months ago - Interesting stories
Just found this podcast I enjoyed the first couple of episodes the stories are interesting but I can’t deal with all the constant giggling and laughing. Reminds me of the morbid podcast. Can be annoying.

I started off liking this podcast because I covered tales from Latino culture, but after a while, there were a few things that kept bothering me. They get side tracked way too often, and half the time it’s to make fun of the story they’re telling. It’s quite disrespectful, especially since these are often listener stories. Also, they read like children and make mistakes that don’t even make any sense. For example saying that someone played a bass in a band… read as the fish, not the instrument. ... more
Apple Podcasts2TeaRaqsUnited Statesa year ago - Absolutely love that this podcast covers ignored perspectives
I am so glad that this podcast covers a very overlooked perspective and new stories I haven’t heard. I wish we could hear from more cultures when it comes to true spooky stories. There’s still so much out there to tell.
