21 year old Julie Ann Gonzalez loved her daughter, she would do anything for her. One day, her family could not get a hold of her. Her ex-husband told them she was acting weird and that she told him she was taking off to Colorado, something they refused to believe.

Cristina shares the case of Julie Ann Gonzalez and Carmen talks about three cryptids from Latin America, El Chonchon, the Vampire Plant and the Abagoochie. First, they read a listener story and end with spooky recommendations.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
