In the season 2 premiere, Teresa Basilio Gaztambide, the Network Director at MediaJustice joins Brandi and Steven to talk about a 90s Puerto Rican phenomenon. No we don’t mean Ricky Martin! We do a deep dive on the legend of the Chupacabras aka The Goat Sucker. We also explore the political and cultural history of Canovanas, the city where the first sighting of the Chupacabras was recorded.
Brandi introduces us to the legend of the Crichton Leprechaun, a sighting of the Irish supernatural being in the middle of a Black neighborhood in Alabama.
Brandi and Steven debate which of these folk tales has the better lesson to teach us. What do you think?
