As a Brit born to a Colombian mother, I love listening to all regarding this most wonderful of countries that I love and yearn for. It’s great to hear through the perspectives of ex pats who give an unbiased and unadulterated view that I find difficult to get from Colombian’s who are understandably defensive of their nation and dare I say it, a bit prejudiced at times. Really well presented, great range of guests
Amazing interview with Libertas International. Those guys are from my home state!
Every week something to keep you up to date and really informative local news.
I was REALLY looking forward to the episode on Medellín but this dude couldn’t even pronounce the name of the city correctly and it absolutely drove me MAD the entire time.
If you’re going to put yourself forward as an “expert” on Colombia, at least take the time to learn how to pronounce the names of its cities correctly.
SERIOUSLY. 😤 its Medellín not whatever the hell he was saying
My boyfriend and I don’t miss episode. This is excellent journalism
