Bodega Botanica Tales is a monthly flash fiction podcast where ancient myths and modern life collide. Each episode is a tale inspired by the whispers I heard in bodegas, those times I visited the botanicas and the cultural myths and folklore that shaped my childhood. Although many of the tales are rooted in Latinx culture, you don't need to share that heritage to enjoy this podcast. If you grew up in traditions, legends or superstitions that made you uneasy, curious, or totally confused, this podcast is for you. All you have to do is press play and stay tuned Brujas!
Maria Rodriguez Bross is an author, playwright, poet and blogger delving into the fictional world of all things bodegas, botanicas and creative tales of the unknown, the unexpected and the phenomenal. I'm interested in our cultural differences through myth and storytelling and whether certain cultural beliefs still serve us in a modern world.
