What is The Guacamaya?

What happens when a country with the largest oil reserves in the world collapses into dictatorship?

Welcome to The Guacamaya—the podcast about Venezuela, power, and the long history that led to the crisis we see today.

In this initial episode, I explain what this podcast is, why I’m making it, and what you can expect in the episodes to come. We’ll go beyond headlines to understand how Venezuela changed, how authoritarianism took hold, and why its story matters far beyond its borders.

Because to understand Venezuela today, we have to understand how we got here.
