If so, then we have a warts and all interview with the editor of Colombia Politics magazine (www.colombia-politics.com) Kevin Howlett all about how to better undestand the intrigue and complexities of Colombia’s elections. Will it be the incumbent President Santos again or will the Green Party’s Enrique Peñalosa come good. What of former president Alvaro Uribe’s protege Oscar Zuluaga?

Having met journalist Wesley Tomaselli (http://wesleytomaselli.com) when he passed through my hotel in Mompos some months ago, there was something about his manner and carefully sculpted turns of phrase. You could tell that this guy from a small town in upstate New York had something going for him and I knew he would be right for the show. So, be sure to listen in and hear a fascinating interview with a genuine up and coming writer whose work can be read at the highly recommended Beacon project (http://www.beaconreader.com/wesley-tomaselli) and his newspieces about energy markets for Argus Media.
