FRANCOIS "PAPA DOC" DUVALIER-"PAPA DON'T PREACH!"

Heyyyyyooooooooooo! What's up everybody! Sorry for the late episode! We actually wanted to put this out last Monday but this is one that "THE MAN!" was trying to keep us from releasing! ("The Man" in this instance being both illness & technical malfunctions...CAUSED BY THE C.I.A.! Maybe? Meh, probably not.) This episode we're covering the infamous Haitian dictator known mostly by his asshole alias "Papa Doc"! We'll also briefly cover the Haitian Voudon religion, the revolution that gave birth to Haiti roughly 200 years ago, as well as getting into the contemporary clusterfuck of what's unfolding in modern day Haiti! (Which for the sake of transparency, we didn't even know was happening until we started doing the research for this episode.) This one...this is our Pulitzer Prize winner baby! (Or whatever the podcasting equivalent is, we'll take one of those please & thankew!) All that & of course, "W.W.T.W.!"
