What’s really happening in Latin America, and why is the U.S. media getting so much of it wrong? Host Andrew Donaldson (@four4thefire) is joined by Venezuelan analyst Daniel Chang Contreras for a wide-ranging conversation on the hemisphere America keeps forgetting about. They break down why “left” and “right” mean something very different south of the border, how U.S. political polarization has warped coverage of Venezuela, and why María Corina Machado went from right-wing hero to target almost overnight. Daniel walks through Machado’s surprise return to Venezuela, the uneasy U.S. partnership with Delcy Rodríguez, and the State Department’s outlined path to elections, plus why many Venezuelans suspect the Chavista plan is simply to outlast the Trump administration. They dig into the controversial oil deal with businessman Alejandro Betancourt, the realities of extra-heavy Orinoco crude, and the key dates to watch, including a new Supreme Court, a new electoral council, and the fate of Diosdado Cabello. Then it’s on to Brazil, where Lula pulled off a comeback for the ages and Flávio Bolsonaro ended up in Miami, and a bigger question: why Brazil keeps falling short of global-power status it should be on paper and continues in economic and political chaos. The episode closes with a sobering look at how young democracies fail once the memory of dictatorship fades, what that means for America’s own institutions, and why the next generation gives both guests reason for hope.

Historically when West Virginians and Kentuckians get together, bad stuff happens, but our friend Jeffrey Tyler Syck digitally reached across the metaphorical Tug Fork in friendship, so we kept it peaceful and informative. Tyler’s a professor and civics director down at the University of Pikeville and previously taught at the University of Virgnia. We talk about the actual “kids these days”; not the online stereotypes, not the memes, not the blithering generalities and put downs of young people these days, before we get into the policy stuff. We turn down the noise on how/why they get unfairly maligned from every direction from Tyler who is in the classroom every day teaching civics to the rising generation. We get into how civics got so abused that half the country thinks it means Lee Greenwood group singing and the other half thinks it means hating the government. Tyler talks teaching these kids to actually think like citizens, why they love challenging reading, and why it turns out kids like hard stuff when it means something. Plus, why this generation is all about being authentic and creative and how that is driving their dislike of AI. We get into why his Appalachian students show up thinking nothing ever gets better, so he has to give them some hope first, and then they pick up the practical side of civics on their own. From there we talk about how Appalachia and lots of other places went from union Democrats and Blue Dogs to supermajorities for Republicans so fast, why folks like me with unaffiliated on our voter cards are surging in registration numbers, and what the kids think about data centers, housing, the economy, and the rest of the world. Finally we turned him loose on John Quincy Adams, and Tyler’s book, A Republic of Virtue: The Essays of John Quincy Adams. I still think he needs to start a TikTok called “Syck Civics” because branding, and such. All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.

A horrible jobs report, angst over gas and consumer prices, conflicts around the world, and a bitter midterm election cycle here at home means one thing: we need to turn down the noise on what is going on with economic headlines with our friend and economist Dr. Stephen Popick on this episode of Heard Tell. How economic models are and aren’t working when it comes to everything from jobs data to the AI disruption, why politics and economics never mix well in an election year, the “S” word, government numbers, public discontent, and the politics of an economy no one seems to know how to talk about. ______ Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inbox https://www.heardtellmedia.com Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

The death of a researcher in Siberia has lit a worldwide fire back under the public health debate. With so many layers to this story from internet panic, Russian government secrecy, scientists not being great communicators, distrust in both science and government post-COVID being low, we turn to our friend Dr Michael Siegel to hash out what we should and shouldn’t be worried about. ______ Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inbox https://www.heardtellmedia.com Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

All heck is breaking loose in West Virginia’s gubernatorial politics. After weeks if not months of speculation US Senator and former WV Governor Jim Justice openly admitted he is considering another run his old job. The current governor, Patrick Morrisey, was already on a string of bad press before that, and over the weekend found himself at the center of another controversy. Center being the key word, as he flipped the coin for WVU football’s home opener wearing a dark blue WV State Parks polo surrounded by 60k West Virginians all wearing white. Because all WVU fans knew to wear white. Is that fair? On this Heard Tell we talk about how there is no such thing as fair in politics, that Charleston Gazette piece that I think was over the line critical of Patrick Morrisey, the reasons why Gov. Morrisey is having a rough go of it, thoughts on the quasi-primary that appears to be under way, and what it all means. Or should mean, if we were a more serious people than apparently we are.

Instead of yelling at others as part of the “affordability”, for this Heard Tell we take the roiling online debate and bring it back to the personal. Having a diverse educational and work background is a good place to start, and being the parent of young adult kids who are navigating these issues in real time means some helpful context. Then we can run the concept through a filter of perspective, knowledge, and accountability before we go off on social media projecting our thoughts on others. ______ Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inbox https://www.heardtellmedia.com Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

The old saying goes being listened to is better than being heard because the latter is passive and automatic whereas listening is active and requires focus. But I suspect what sounds like a good idea isn’t going to go well for Gov Patrick Morrisey because the folks on his “listening tour” wanted to be heard the first time and don’t want just attention they want it fixed. But there is no easy fix. The people don’t want to hear that, and the governor can’t say that. Meanwhile, too many are going without reliable access to the very foundational building block of life as we know it: water. Maybe the governor never has the experience of turning on the tap and getting that rotten egg smell as red goop sulpher runs for a bit before you get to the better, cleaner water like was one of my chores in the church I grew up. I talk about that, what is/isn’t the fault of Patrick Morrisey or any other elected official, reality vs rhetoric, and the real cost of infrastructure on this Heard Tell. ______ Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inbox https://www.heardtellmedia.com Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
