Teaser - Bill and Margarito, and the Bear

Author: Adrianne Montoya January 12, 2019 Duration: 16:53
Two Colorado mountain men spend an isolated winter terrorized by the local wildlife.

Adrianne Montoya’s Southwest Gothic explores the haunting undercurrents of a sun-bleached landscape. This podcast is not about ghosts in the traditional sense, though they sometimes appear. Instead, it delves into the peculiar, the forgotten, and the quietly unsettling stories woven into the fabric of the American Southwest. Each episode is a journey into the region’s layered history, its unique cultures, and the stark beauty of its places, revealing how the past lingers in the present. You’ll hear narratives that blend travelogue with oral history, examining the societal shadows and artistic expressions born from the desert. The result is a collection of tales that feel both specific to their origin and universally eerie. Listening to this podcast feels like uncovering a strange artifact-a story that is as much about the land and its people as it is about the chill down your spine. It’s for anyone captivated by the idea that the most profound mysteries aren’t always found in the dark, but often in the blinding light of a vast, open sky.
