About this listen

After a long hiatus, we're back! And we've never had a more interesting guest.

Simon Isaac was born in raised in Caracas, Venezuela. I met him over a year ago. He's a student at MSU and writes for the student newspaper, where I happen to be an advisor. On this episode, Simon talks about what it's like to grow up in a dictatorship, what it's like to watch friends get killed in a governmental crackdown, how it felt to be kidnapped — twice — because of his outspoken views on oppression and government corruption. Despite all that, Simon remains hopeful his country can get beyond the turmoil and become stable again. And one day, if that happens, he hopes to be Venezuela's president.
