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.

This week we have a very interesting talk about the posible outcomes of this lockdown with radio and tv host / ex white house and pentagon official Ana María Salazar. 

This week we talk about the potential implications of the generalized lockdown in Mexico, US and Canada with Kenneth Smith, an expert in the region. 

We continue visiting our friends in other parts of the world. This week Florian Fournier, who lives in Sao Paulo, joins us and we discuss the approach that Brazilian authorities are taking to face the pandemic.
