La Llorona
I wonder how many raisins I have to eat to get my iron levels back to normal.
Here’s a program I produced about twenty years ago. La Llorona â the crying woman â is the Mexican equivalent of the bogeyman in the US: a great story and an effective behavior modification tool.
The show aired on NPR’s All Things Considered. I suspect that listeners wondered about the mental stability of the producer. In fact, I was going through a divorce and my sanity was in shreds. Doing radio was such a great way to vent madness.
