	Description:		This episode originally aired on Wednesday, April 10th on CFRC 101.fm in Kingston (The longest running and best radio station around!) It features interviews with Doctoral Candidate Grace Jaramillo of the Politics Department, and Queen's History professor David Parker. The interviews complement each other wonderfully; Grace discusses the relationship between Venezuelans' self-identity and the charismatic rule of the late Hugo Chavez, as well as institution building in Venezuela and Mexico. Meanwhile, Dr. Parker provides historical context for current events and trends, like regionalism and income inequality. Many Latin American countries have long revolutionary traditions and history of military intervention and/or participation in politics; in Mexico, in particular, revolution played a critical role in the emergence of the PRI, the party that dominated the Mexican state throughout the 20th century. I'll leave the rest to our guests, happy listening!
