Radio JarochoInformative podcast on Latin AmericaAs a Latin American living in the US, I enjoy this dynamic podcast for staying informed about political developments in the region. The series features knowledgeable guests who are prominent in their fields.

BloxkSlow and torpidIt’s a shame this show falls short because there are plenty of interesting issues and events in Latin America today. The hosts seem incapable of interviewing people effectively, this results in interviewees going on and on. This rambling becomes obnoxious and makes you think “please get to the point”. Lastly, the female host is far too dull and the male host sounds like a 18-25 year old who has yet to find adulthood or maturity. The millennial voice fray is just too much and makes it impossible to take him seriously. When you sound like a child, your intellectual abilities will always come into question. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about refer to the Nov 1st episode with host Chase Harrison.

Beatriz ElsaCuba’s New Constitution and 60 years of RevolutionThank you to America Latina in Focus for that type of discussion. It’s excellent to listen that podcast and maybe more than one Cuban-American will analyze and think about how to find a properly way for economic-politic transition in Cuba. After 60 years, it will be hard to believe that the regiment is going to implement some kind of changes as Soviet Union did in 1985 like ‘Perestroika and glasnost ‘ when Gorbachev was a president . But the new globalization mentality affects everything, even the regimen in Havana. Thank you again for your podcast and I can not wait for the next one.

Heredia209!Cuba’s new constitutionVery interesting interview. It made me think twice; what would I do if I disagree with what is being proposed that it’s a bit better than what exists. Good job

busta9999A great resource on Latin American politics/historyWith all that's happening in Latin America recently, I realized that it's a part of the world I know very little about. Listening to this podcast has been a fantastic crash course in both what's going on there currently as well as how it all got to this point. Highly recommend!

hollykathrynSharp and well produced!Lo mejor, simplemente. Latin American politics + then some for people who want to get beyond the basic/trite headlines and stereotypes. Smart expert interviews, range of perspectives and countries and issues. All-female produced, too, which is nice.

mochiiiCubaThe opening question is “what are the achievements of the revolution”? Are you serious? How out of touch are you? Are firing squads without due process, eliminating private property, seizing billions in American assets and prompting the mass exodus of millions of Cubans achievements? Push to open up the country to foreign investment? All foreign investment goes to the government not the people. GAEZA ring a bell? To hire an average Cuban foreign companies have to enter into Labor contracts with the government. The panelists regurgitated headlines from Cuban newspapers. No legitimate foreign company would invest in Cuba where there is no competent judicial system. Your assets (investment) can be expropriated without compensation. The judges are completely controlled by the government and notorious for lacking independence. Check the state department website. The host repeatedly talked about change by the government, yet failed to mention the countless regular beatings of dissidents for exercising freedom of speech and freedom to assemble. New President ? A President is the elected head of a Republican state. Diaz Canel was not elected, he was hand picked by a murderous dictator. Concluding that the Constitution means change shows you literally did no homework, nothing has changed in 60 years because the same thugs are in power. This constitution mumbo jumbo is a PR play by Cuba to get positive media attention in light of the sonic attacks and closure of the US embassy. The FIU professor knows better, his commentary was out of touch with his community and disappointing.
