On this episode of the Colombia Podcast, we talk with Lizeth Martinez, the owner and marketing force behind the fast-growing viche brand - Viche Canao. She's also our first Afro-colombian woman on the show!
Lizeth is from Chocó, a region in Western Colombia seemingly forgotten and ignored by the Colombian government. El Chocó is known for its predominately Black population and is considered one of the poorest parts of Colombia. Lizeth's family and many others families in Choco have made viche in their homes for many generations. However, only now are they able to legally commercialize the drink. Due to a lack of money and marketing know how in el Choco, most of the families are unable to take advantage of the commercialization of the drink. Lizeth is one of the people working hard to change that.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
