Barrio Flores on the BBC
Early this morning (early for me on a Sunday), I received a phone call from London. They wanted to interview me about my thoughts on the new President, especially from a viewpoint of a younger-ish Bolivian who had changed his mind about Evo. There's quite a difference than doing an interview from a telephone and going into the fancy new BBC studios in Washington, where the sound is crystal clear and the host walks you through the entire process. It was definitely fun the second time doing radio. I am not sure when it will air, but the program is "The World" by BBC World Service and it usually on NPR Channels. If anyone hears it, please tell me how funny my voice sounds and whether I made any sense whatsoever.

Congrats Eduardo! more power to the Bolivian bloggers, I hope I can catch you on npr.
Good to see you came clean on the campaign thing, nothing wrong with campaigning for MAS, and yeah there is a bunch of us who'll be critical to the Morales presidency when it deserves criticism. So don't even worry about that free pass thing.

Have you seen the clip of Jorge Ramos interviewing Evo? Evo basically loses it while facing fair but tough questions.

Thanks Jonathan.
Univision clip: I had not seen that, it's also up at the Univision.com site. Yeah, it's definitely contradictory fighting for democracy, but turning a blind eye to people, especially like Castro.

That's great, Eduaro! Sorry I've been less than on top of things lately (busy, stress, busy). But it's great to see you doing such a great job. Kudos! I've always liked your open, honest posts. I wish I was there to see these interesting events ... but I also sort of had my fill of them during 2003-2004 (haha!).
