How do you make money doing it?
The waitlist for the event is now open. Join to get more information, and mark your calendars for October 24-25th. You don’t want to miss this opportunity!
In the meantime, here’s some espookies and bookis to keep you entertained this weekend.
Espooky Tales
Description: Latin American folklore, myths, legends, haunted places and espooky cuentos del rancho. Hear the stories you grew up with like La Llorona, as well as true stories from listeners and guests. Join friends, Cristina & Carmen (formerly MJ), every Friday and hear these tales. Stay espooky!
Episode recommendation: Hosts Christina and Carmen highly recommend episode #138 A Lechuza Encounter with Lanie of It's Haunted What Now, which also includes a listener story about…poltergeists? A malevolent shadow? You decide!
💻Also watch occasional Espooky Tales videos on YouTube
Los Bookis
Description: Los Bookis is a podcast connecting queer Latine bookworms with queer Latine stories written by authors who look and sound like us. Join your lively hosts: Adrian Gaston Garcia and Sergio Lopez for monthly interviews with some of the baddest queer Latine storytellers in the game as they dig deep into their literary works and get all the chisme you’ve been dying to know.

Episode recommendation: With monthly episodes, Los Bookis is still relatively new but was born out of a real book club between hosts AGG and Sergio. Start at the beginning, or dive into their interview with Puerto Rican author Jaquira Díaz reading from her memoir. The episode is An Extraordinary Life | Jaquira Díaz, Ordinary Girls.
