Our curtain-raiser series of bite size highlights drawn from the 2025 wrap up episode concludes with this incredibly special and personal group of episodes, from the heart of Mayan culture, Guatemala, Central America.

This was actually the first series recorded in 2025, but took a lot more time to produce given the episodes released in both Spanish and English. And it was so worth it.

Here are the voices, places and tunes you're hearing:

0m - Salta Montes, by Migra (from Artlist) (eps 285-8)

0.21 - Patrik Mucía (ep 285 and in Spanish), at IMAP, by Lago de Atitlán

0.59 - Don Ceferino de Paz González (ep 286 and in Spanish), Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, Alta Verapaz

1.24 - Cándido Reyes (ep 287 and in Spanish), La Nueva Libertad

1.40 - Aníbal de Paz (ep 288 and in Spanish), Lago Petén Itzá

2.06 - Regeneration, by Amelia Barden (theme music)

3.25 - Out-take with my translator in Baltimore, Dana Scott
