TED Far Flung Podcast
Puerto Rico
Co-host | Co-producer
Sandy beaches, amazing wildlife, Caribbean blue seas—Puerto Rico is known as the Island of Enchantment for a reason. But it’s also one of the oldest colonies in the world. And as a U.S. territory, Puerto Ricans have very little say in the U.S. government. The island has a complicated history—but its people are constantly fighting to give Puerto Rico its place in the world. From building make-shift community networks after Hurricane Maria, to reconnecting with local cuisine, to making art that connects Puerto Ricans all over the diaspora, listen to how Puerto Rico is paving the way to a freer world through community-first approaches, delicious ingredients—and rhythmic, joyous, loving resistance. This episode was proudly co-produced with Manolo López.
On this episode of Far Flung host Salem Reshamwala is guided through the Island by chef Manolo López as he introduces him to people who redefined the meaning of mutual aid after Hurricane Maria. This episode was proudly co-hosted and co-produced with Manolo López.
