Sonoro Unveils “Tales of The Night” LATAM’s #1 Podcast, Now in English
Tales of the Night presents terrifying stories sourced from audience submissions across Mexico and Iberoamerica. This collaborative podcast has been transformed into audio with the help of generative AI.
MEXICO CITY – JANUARY 22TH, 2024 – Sonoro and Uriel Reyes, Latin America’s biggest podcaster, introduce Tales of the Night, the English language adaptation of Relatos de la Noche, a gripping podcast that transports listeners to the eerie legends lingering in the shadows of Iberoamerica.
With weekly unique and immersive stories, Tales of the Night will premiere on January 29th, releasing the most popular episodes from the original Spanish podcast, a mini-series dubbed El Crucifijo del Padre Lucas:
- Ep. 1: Help!
In 1982 Mrs. Socorro helped a young girl who was being stalked by witches and needed an exorcism ritual. Thanks to the pastor of her church Father Jesus, Socorro met Father Lucas, an old Italian man who gave her a powerful crucifix to fight evil spirits. - Ep. 2: The Harlequin
In 1995 Socorro’s grandson was tormented by a demon in the form of a harlequin that was originally his favorite toy. In 2008 Socorro dies and leaves the crucifix to her family, provoking a series of hauntings by witches and demons, among them the harlequin. Terrified, Socorro’s daughter decides to bury the crucifix to try to get rid of the evil beings. - Ep.3: The Witches
Despite having gotten rid of the crucifix, Socorro’s family continues to be haunted by demons and witches. Thanks to an aunt who still lives in Socorro’s old village, they manage to contact Father Jesus, who decides to help them, but first they must recover the crucifix.
For 11 years, Relatos de la Noche has captivated millions of listeners, accumulating 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.4 million followers on Spotify, positioning itself as one of the most listened-to podcasts in Spanish in the world.
