Religion and politics, the topics we're told not to bring up in polite company take center stage this week on Latin Pulse, with the focus again returning to Cuba.  The Cuban government's response to the visit of Pope Benedict XVI continues to resonate across the island in the human rights community and beyond.  The program also includes news of the death of Sandinista leader Tomas Borge in Nicaragua.

In-Depth Interviews:

The Pope's Aftermath in Cuba (Lp5042012)

I'm a former A&R manager for a few labels, ran a couple of my own in collaboration with some good men of taste, and currently run a blog and help artists where I can.  If I was following you and am not now, it is only because I have added you to my blog and <a href="http://amiscellany.info/wiki/">wiki</a>, where I can follow more easily.  I hate friend limits, so this is my way around it.
