Show Notes

 In this episode, we return to Cuba and to the regime of socialist leader Fidel Castro. We’re traveling to the Bay of Pigs, the site of a botched invasion carried out by Cuban exiles, and financed by the US Government. 

Today, it’s remembered as a minor disaster, but it’s one of the most significant early events of the Cold War.
