Don’t miss this fascinating and educational conversation about a country that doesn’t get enough time in the spotlight.

This week, our special guest this week is Joseph Bouchard, a Canadian journalist and academic who specializes in Latin America. Joseph has been covering and researching Bolivia and Latin America for several years and has been published in The Diplomat, the Brazilian Report, Monga Bay, the Rio Times, and Global Americans. In our talk (recorded about a month ago), we talk about the Bolivian election as well as the role of critical minerals in the Bolivian economy, the importance of the 2019 coup in understanding current attitudes among the Bolivian electorate, and the messy legacy of the MAS, the party that has ruled for the last twenty-odd years.

Thanks for listening, and please don’t forget to like, comment or subscribe!
