Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode, we embark on a journey through the whimsical and wise tales of Juan Bobo, a beloved figure from Puerto Rican folklore. From dressing a pig for church to outsmarting a princess with a riddle, Juan Bobo's antics remind us of the fine line between foolishness and wisdom.
