Shadow returns with a very special message and introduces a new series from Stormfire Productions.
About Once Upon a Time in Havana: How can an island, only 90 miles from the U.S. southeastern coast, feel so far away? Lisette Alvarez guides you through their journey as the first person in their family to return to Cuba after over 60 years, all within the context of U.S.-Cuba geopolitical history.
This 12-episode true story is released just in time for the anniversaries of two major U.S.- Cuba events: the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Havana, and the 25th anniversary of the Elián González crisis. These moments of history, and more, will be discussed in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HAVANA.
Episodes are released weekly beginning August 15, 2024.

Hi everyone, Lisette here. We are only two episodes away from the end of the show. We really want to give Kalila Stormfire a good sendoff.
That is why I am pleased to announce that we are not having a single finale event, not a weekend of events, but an entire Kalila Finale WEEK! Yeah, from March 15th to March 21st, there will be daily Kalila-themed events and specials, not to mention the launch of the penultimate episode on March 15th and the hour-long finale on March 20th. I will also be hosting a very special listening party on Saturday, March 20th at 7PM Eastern. The tickets are pay what you can, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
If you would like to get more information on the listening party and everything else we have in store for Kalila Finale Week, head over to kalilastormfire.com/finaleweek. The link is also in the show notes.
Thanks, as always, for listening. And stay magical. Til the end.

Kalila's latest client is faced with a crossroads regarding his future, and Kalila herself finally faces the past.
CONTENT WARNING: Active revisiting of Kalila's memory of her abusive relationship with Samuel Argent, which includes gaslighting and "negging" behavior, as well as a veiled reference to Kalila's past D&E, an abortion procedure. This occurs after Kalila's client scene, during the second half of the episode with Kalila and Aphrodite. These are extended, emotionally-taxing scenes that run through the rest of the episode. Please take care of yourself.
