In Cuba wide public access to the internet is only a few years old. The press is still severely restricted by the government. But there is something of a small podcast boom taking shape in the country.

So in a country where the press is under constant threat of intimidation, interrogation, and being jailed, how do you make a podcast that can challenge the government? 

Today we talk to Cuban podcaster Camilo Condis.

 

Host: Jesse Brown
