      "Inaugurated in July 2017, the sanctions dictated by Washington transformed the already deep local crisis into what the former American ambassador to the country Mr. William Brownfield described on October 12, 2018 as a “tragedy”. Before adding, calmly: “If we can do something to speed it up, we must do it, knowing that it will have an impact on millions of people who already have difficulty finding food and medicine . .

      Actually Venezuelans are closer culturally to Dominican republic, as Colombians actually come from Galicia and the Basque county instead of The Canaries. Also Before the consolidation of the modern states some could say that the colombian llano was closer to venezuela than Nueva granada itself. The andes mountains seperating venezuela from the most of the colombian population made us pretty distinct. This is why the Arepa was introduced to colombia throught the llanos, as a large part of the colombian llanos used to be venezuelan territory. The language of the Cumangoto tribes people which named the arepa are concentrated in modern day venezuela And the Llano border in colombia

    Thank you very much for doing this episode. It's a pity you weren't able to visit the country. I just wanted to clarify something: I'm from the Paraguaná Peninsula, and I've never heard it called "Isla Cora," nor have I been able to find any source that says so. The name Paraguaná in the Caquetío language (an indigenous ethnic group that inhabited the area) roughly translates as "garden in the sea." I hope you get to visit Paraguaná one day. It is a beautiful place.

    As a Colombian, Venezuela is a country that is just so insanely close and familiar to us, its kind of hard to imagine life without them. Obviously, people can get pretty mean on both sides a lot of the time, but I would argue that Venezuela is so fundamental to Colombian culture (and vice versa) that our national identities wouldn't even exist as we know them without each other.
    We're two of the culturally closest countries in the world, if we're being honest.

    35:57 I think it's worth pointing out the waves that El sistema made in Classical Music. The Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel and José Antonio Abreu was one of the best in the world before they changed it to be an actual symphony orchestra, and I know that they tried to replicate this kind of system in various European countries. Musicians from the formal SBYO now play in some of the best orchestras in the world (like for example Edicson Ruiz who's been a member of the Berlin Philharmonic for over 15 years). A lot of the young musicians also participated in the anti government protests in 2017, where at least one of them got killed and quite a few were imprisoned.

    Actually Venezuelans are closer culturally to Dominican republic, as Colombians actually come from Galicia and the Basque county instead of The Canaries. Also Before the consolidation of the modern states some could say that the colombian llano was closer to venezuela than Nueva granada itself. The andes mountains seperating venezuela from the most of the colombian population made us pretty distinct. This is why the Arepa was introduced to colombia throught the llanos, as a large part of the colombian llanos used to be venezuelan territory. The language of the Cumangoto tribes people which named the arepa are concentrated in modern day venezuela And the Llano border in colombia

      Yeah the origin of the name is from the Cumanagoto language but it's widely accepted that the arepa was consumed by a lot of amerindian tribes long before the Conquista (with little differences from tribe to tribe). It wasn't introduced from Venezuela to Colombia, it was already there before the countries even existed.

      + It’s just impossible to be neutral in trying to explain the economic and social crisis we have been through for the last 11-12 years, since we all know it’s been due to a huge corruption in all government institutions and the establishment of a narco-state dictatorship whose sole purpose is staying in power.
      +Soccer I think has tbecome the most popular sport in the last few years, and its by far the one that gets the most attention.
      + USD dollars is the de facto currency used but you still need the local currency, Bolivar, for paying services and there is still a lot of circulation of bolivares.
      +I doubt that the ethnic chart is accurate, you can tell the % of mestizo population is much higher than that by just going to the most densely populated sectors. I think it would be around %70-75. The data could be wrong because a lot of people claim they are whites but they are actually mestizos of mixed descent.
