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!

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
