We’re remixing a classic Mexican folktale about bats, birds, and rainbows! DJ Fyutch and Baby Scratch take us way back to the very beginning of time to tell the story of the very first bat. Mercy gets her first taste of jealousy when she sees all the birds soaring through the sky with their colorful feathers. Why do bats only fly at night? Why don’t they have feathers too? Was it a mistake? And what happens to a bat who would rather be a bird? You gotta play the episode to find out—it all happens on Once Upon a Beat!

You can listen to Once Upon a Beat early and ad-free right now on Wondery Plus. Join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.
