Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and all of South America with Diego Area

South America faces a number of challenges, from sustained protests in Peru, a riot in Brasilia, increasing inequality, democratic decline, and much more. Zoe and Grant talk with Diego Area, deputy director for strategic development at the Adrienne Arsht Latin American Center of the Atlantic Council, about all of these issues, what links them, and what (if anything) the United States can do about them.

For our final segment Diego praises Dune (the movie and the book), Zoe recommends some true crime podcasts, and Grant offers some birthday wisdom.
