La Crónica Oscura
By shows
La Crónica Oscura es un podcast donde hablamos de true crime: asesinatos, desapariciones y misterios que se quedarán dando vueltas en tu cabeza mucho después de escucharlos. Me interesa ir más allá del simple titular: entender qué pasó, quiénes eran las personas detrás de cada historia y por qué estos casos siguen dando de qué hablar tantos años después. Si te apasiona el true crime contado de forma cercana y con un punto de misterio, este es tu espacio. Aquí nos sentamos, analizamos y, sobre todo, intentamos comprender.
