In something of an emergency episode brought on by the sudden onset of a political crisis in Venezuela, I'm joined by political scientist and DSA member Jared Abbott. Jared specializes in Latin America and just returned from doing fieldwork in Venezuela, and he's here to hopefully put recent events into some context. This episode is open to the public so feel free to share.

The Jacobin interview Jared mentions toward the end of the show can be found here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/01/venezuela-maduro-chavez-military-intervention
