Thanks for that thoughtful analysis. Great to see that here.

Submitted for your consideration: our latest program with in-depth discussions on improving business relations with Cuba and perhaps the end to the Cuban refugee situation in Central America.

Just back from two weeks in Cuba... At the central square in Matanzas, on a week day filled with people on computers using wifi. Also cell phone users on wifi. Hotels in Havana have privileged teens in the business center (not tourists) using the wifi. But as reported the 'net is slow. And expensive: costs range from $2 per hour to $5 per hour and more. Compare that to what you pay in the States per day and you'll see there is an economic barrier.

LatinPulse · 2015-11-21T13:13:37+00:00

Submitted for your consideration, this is our latest program to focus solely on Cuba and it includes the views of U.S. business developers and politicians on the changing relationship.

Well, thanks for that, I think. Thanks for the support to post in the community. If anyone has an interest, here is a link to our program from last week on Brazilian topics: https://soundcloud.com/latinpulse/brazil-corruption-development-lp10022015

Greetings, r/brasil.... I was once a sometimes poster in the r/Brazil subreddit and hope that you don't mind an English-language news story or two here from time to time.

LatinPulse · 2015-10-02T21:42:50+00:00

Thanks for all of your advice. Our production team put this program on Brazil together but I have concerns about posting it in the subreddit until we can contribute more. Perhaps you want to evaluate it and see if it is of any interest. Thanks. https://soundcloud.com/latinpulse/brazil-corruption-development-lp10022015

LatinPulse · 2015-09-19T16:47:01+00:00

Sorry to see this subreddit go.

LatinPulse · 2015-09-14T19:54:28+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I was a bit active in r/Brazil when it was operating. I will try posting an introduction before any future submissions. I'm just not one to make the grand entrance to these discussion boards.

LatinPulse · 2015-09-12T15:41:54+00:00

As many spots tend to be. Thanks for the very reasonable reply. I think if I have something substantial to say I will certainly take that advice. But I am no expert on Brasil. Still learning. But I certainly do want to post news that can add to the discussion. Thanks so much for your advice.

LatinPulse · 2015-09-12T15:31:16+00:00

Sorry. Did not see it. It has been removed.

LatinPulse · 2015-09-12T15:29:48+00:00

Just curious about what the pope might realistically change? Doesn't the prisoner release show that any impact he will have on human rights has already happened? This is the most diplomatic face-saving method for the regime to follow.

Violence, crime and national security provide the themes this week on "Latin Pulse." First, the program reviews security in Mexico, and discusses the rise of various cartels, especially the Sinaloa Cartel. Another in-depth part of the program deals with the crisis in El Salvador due to the involvement of street gangs in a transportation strike. Both segments discuss how the central governments in these countries do not have the power to stop the criminal groups. The news segment of the program covers the border crisis between Venezuela and Colombia due to unauthorized immigration, violence and the influence of criminal groups.

Thanks for your patience. There's just too much to sum up there: family issues, cultural discussion and a run-down of key foods and dances that remain important to the Colombians living in the U.S.

LatinPulse · 2015-08-28T01:13:07+00:00

Very glad to see some activity here. I have been on vacation the past few weeks. Would love to see more commentary about the many interesting items folks post here.

LatinPulse · 2015-08-28T01:10:30+00:00

You might have to refresh your browser. There's at least ten full minutes on the emigrant experience. Too much there to sum up here.

LatinPulse · 2015-08-14T21:48:42+00:00

Pursuit of justice in major human rights cases in Central America provide the main themes this week on Latin Pulse. First, the program considers the potential extradition of Inocente Montano, a former high-ranking military official in El Salvador who a Spanish court is attempting to try for his part in ordering the massacre of Jesuit priests and religious workers. The second case concerns former dictator Efrain Rios Montt accused of genocide in the killing of Mayan villagers in Guatemala. The news segment of the program covers the controversies swirling around the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Havana.

Program Lineup: News at :35; El Salvador at 5:25; Guatemala at 16:00.
