From the Fanachu archives - here is the eleventh ever episode of Fanachu, recorded and hosted by the Godfather and Founder of Fanachu - Manny Cruz way back in 2017.

Fanachu was started by Manny Cruz through the Media Committee for Independent Guåhan and many of those early episodes were recorded either in classrooms in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building at the University of Guam.

For this episode, Manny spoke to taotao Hågat and former Assistant Secretary to the Department of the Interior for Insular Affairs Tony Babauta. He talked about his experiences working in Guam politics and in D.C. on on issues related to the US territories and how we could gain some traction on issues like political status and decolonization.

This episode was produced by Manny Cruz and premiered on Soundcloud on February 15, 2017.

Look out for more episodes from the archives as migrate Fanachu content to new platforms.
