Mexico Centered

Helpful in sorting through the important upcoming elections of our neighbors

POC persoective ,

Inaccurate

Listening to the latest episode on Covid 19, it is obvious that this research source has a biased perspective on the outlook of Mexico. Past administration programs are praised, yet any current policies are disregarded as failure and corrupt. Objectivity is lost.

Pammmmm ,

Great!

A valuable resource and interesting podcast to learn more about Mexico, the 2018 Mexican presidential election, and the U.S.-Mexico relationship. Well done and worth the listen!
