This week, Kate talks about the most exciting ways the U.S. tried to kill Fidel Castro. Boy did we try a ton and wow did we fail. First Kate goes over how Castro came to power and we all learn a little bit about how not to many pronounce Spanish words (thanks for the assists Jen). Jen discusses Peter Freuchen, a Danish (like Kate!) explorer who trekked all over the place, helped fight the Nazis, wrote a lot of important books, and got out of dangerous situations using very…creative means. Kate reads two beautiful, hilarious obituaries in lieu of our traditional oshituaries. Warning: you might cry (Kate did).
