Belize is one pof the more fascinating places in Central America. While it's bordered by Mexico and Guatemala, and shares a geopolitical sphere with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, it's not a dominant-Spanish speaking country. In fact, unlike all the other countries, Belize was actually Britain's lone Central American colony for a long time. In this episode, we explore the history and geography of this unique, and gorgeous, Central American country.

I usually listen on Spotify, but just came here to comment - Your podcast is my fav to listen to on days when I just want to relax at home. It's 2 guys, having a yarn, about something reasonably intelligent (& it's not a debate that gets heated & controversial). Please don't even add in annoying sound effects, or sound bites, or people with loud laughter. Tnx!
There's also a pretty large film industry from what I've heard in Belize lot of people go there to make movies I had a friend fly down in the winter time as you said a lot of Americans go there for vacation in the winter but he went down there to make a movie and his whole little vacation was basically paid for just for him to be an extra in the movie
Great episode!
Belize is interesting to me geographically because I live in Cairns, Queensland, which is on the same latitude, but in the Southern Hemisphere, so similar climate. For tourists who compare Northern Queensland to South Florida, we are much closer to the equator than South Florida.
Also interesting are the Amish people of Belize, yes, they have Amish.

It sounds as though saying Mayan is like saying European.
Belize its name from Elizabeth, Queen of England, Belize, land of the gods Jahover all ⚽️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🚀🎸🇲🇱🎶🐝🌈🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
Wrong - Mesoamerica was a whole half of Mexico and half of Central America, plus part of Chile. There are different maps but reliable source on the history of Mexico used in university courses includes the majority of it as it is now was actually also the majority of what was Mesoamerica.
What exactly is a “whole half?”

@@PlaneJaneCars from north of Sinaloa to all the way south into Central America. The most well know civilizations were in central Mexico and parts of south Mexico. But if you include the Maya, might as well include all of the Yucatán peninsula. They didn’t stay put in those times either. They traded into what is now the US and into South America.
@@mjz16 my point was, it’s a whole or a half. Saying a whole half could be better said as an “entire fifty percent”, but your point is well taken.
@@PlaneJaneCars k. I guess I could’ve waits a full half, or a literal half, or a couple others. Same-same.
