About this listen

 In this episode, we're digging into the legend of the chupacabra: part horror movie, part tabloid frenzy, and part… sick dog!? From Puerto Rico to Texas, we separate the monster myths from the mange-y reality. Along the way, we’ll uncover how pop culture, conspiracy theories, and some unlucky livestock gave birth to one of the strangest cryptids of the 20th century. ** WE WROTE A BOOK!
