Colombia’s yellow shoots

@radiobrendan So the World Cup party rolls on and, thankfully, Colombia is very much still in the mix. These heady times that the country is going through, something mentioned on this blog a few weeks back, are not only continuing but also appear to be increasing in magnitude. Of(...)

Ley seca – Bogotá’s deprived spit back

@radiobrendan This blog tends to look out for the underprivileged. So when the ‘have nots’ strike a blow against the ‘haves’, especially in a place riven with inequality such as Colombia, it’s usually something to support. It’s not often that(...)

@radiobrendan Have you heard the one about the Colombian Nazis? No? Well, somewhat worryingly, it’s not actually a joke. In this land of incredulous contradictions, there exists a rather confused bunch of adherents to the Adolf Hitler branch of fascism. Perhaps they were(...)

A drug by any other name

@radiobrendan It was meant to be a night of discovery, of potentially finding a new path in life in the depths of a Colombian jungle. However, for one British teenager, the only ‘path’ he found was the one leading to his sad end, his lifeless body dumped at the side(...)
