Latin Pulse: 12.19.2014

In this special edition of Latin Pulse, we dip into the holiday spirit, literally, by exploring the spirit of tequila. The program includes an in-depth discussion of the business and economics surrounding the trade of tequila and how the taste for tequila has changed, propelled by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The program also includes a tasting and discussion of top shelf tequilas. The news segment of the program looks at the historic proposal this week worked out between the Cuban and U.S. governments regarding discussions of normalizing diplomatic relations after more than 53 years of conflict.

The program includes an in-depth interview with:

Ramses Armendariz of Webster University.
