Going coca loca down in Colombia with Ocean Malandra

from The Corrigan Cast · host Brendan Corrigan

Considering the bloody damage the cocaine trade inflicts on Colombia, many locals are loath to talk positively about the plant from which the drug is derived, coca. However, that might be slowly changing as people learn more about the reputed health benefits of the leaf. Journalist and writer Ocean Malandra is very much in the coca-as-super-food camp and he joins us to explain why he believes it doesn't deserve its negative image. We also hear how there's a simple explanation behind Ocean's rather uncommon first name! **** Outro music: Master of the Feast by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400019 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
