In this very special Pride48 (Live!) episode, we discuss the strange and fascinating topic of La Santa Muerte (or Saint Death), a folk saint from Mexico who has reached cult status. First, Cody talks about Santa Muerte Internacional, its founders, and how it all began. Then, Chris discusses Silvia Meraz and the murders she incited in the name of Santa Muerte. Next, Cody tells the story of a woman who went against the Catholic church and prayed to Santa Muerte after her husband died. Her prayers had some crazy side effects, including familial possession. Finally, Chris talks about one man and the crazy encounters he had with Santa Muerte during his life. Creep of the Week is a recent story about the future patron saint of the Internet. This week’s drinks are homemade horchata and Twisted Tea.
