Pinche Gringo Podcast

This week we had an extremely in depth conversation with Duncan Wood the Executive Director of the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC. He has a unique perception of Mexico from an 'outsiders' perspective. Although, with the time he's spent in this country it's a bit of a dishonor calling him an outsider. We also head to Panama, where we talk with Matt Macinness and he gives us an insider look to a very different approach to tackling Covid-19 from the Panamanian government.

As the first wave of this epidemic draws to a close we question how the return to sports might look like and so, we talk with Dane Martinez aka SPEEDZ the Spittin Statistician who is incredibly knowledgable in this area.

On this episode we check in with Sebastián de Lara who we talk with about the way the Mexican government has dealt with the pandemic from a very distinct point of view. Then we head to Tel Aviv to talk with Rafaela Atencio, where we talk about how the approach of the Israeli government made it possible for a socially distanced protest to take place.

We also talk with Germán Zapata, who is originally Mexican but is weathering the pandemic in the Canary Islands and Stephen Morses who is currently in NY. We close the show with a quick briefing of what Pinche Gringo BBQ is doing to keep up people's spirit. This show is a different take on Covid-19, which we hope you'll enjoy and find refreshing

On his first solo appearance in this podcast, Julien tells us about his vacation. We have a quick catchup of the latest news of the Democratic primaries where all but two have conceded and Biden keeps gaining momentum. Julien talks with DJ Aztek, who tells us how he started mixing vinyls. Adrián Peña Hernández also talks to Julien about how his hobby of mixing at friend's parties became his profession and how it has taken him to places he didn't expect.

In a very politically charged week we get to talk with 2 experts on this weeks hottest topics. First we go border to talk about Super Tuesday with Joseph Huff-Hannon, Senior global campaigner for Avaaz and then we stay home and talk about the escalating violence against women and the protest and strike that will take place next week with one of the loudest voices within the feminist movement: Tamara de Anda aka Plaqueta.
