FEBRUARY TOPIC: LISTENER'S CHOICE 

Check out Buzz Killers every Sunday for new episodes! A proud podcast of the Podmoth Media Network. 

 

In episode sixty we discuss the legend of La Llorona. La Llorona or the "Weeping Woman" is one of the central figures in Mexican and Mexican-American Folklore. She is said to wander the river banks looking for her lost children and those who come upon her will meet a terrible fate. But what are the origins of this legend? And could they be based more in fact than you would expect? 

 

For this episode we drank Black Opal Chardonnay. Check out Wolf Blass Winery's website for their full selection!
