from What In The World? · host What In The World? International news and global events. With jokes!

Adam and Ethan dig into the numbers and lore behind El Salvador's historically low murder rate. Is the Bukele regime telling the truth about it all? There are whispers that the drop in violence isn't the result of tough policing alone, but also secret backroom deals between Bukele and the same gangs he claims as enemies. We also talk about the journalists who were brave enough to report on the controversy and were forced to flee the country over it. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-in-the-world--7104437/support.Subscribe on Spreaker for ad-free listening and bonus episodes: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-in-the-world--7104437/supportFollow You Don't Even Like Podcasts on the socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/youdontpod/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youdontpod.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/youdontpod
