Fidel Castro Part 1: Rise of ‘The Crazy One’

Fidel Castro - a revolutionary turned strongman dictator,
beloved by his supporters and loathed by his enemies. The bête
noire of the United States who pushed the world to the brink of
annihilation. The ultimate political survivor who evaded hundreds
of barely believable assassination attempts. We scroll back to the
early years of the one they would call El Loco. It all begins on a
farm in the east of Cuba - an island paradise with dark
undercurrents swirling beneath the surface… A Noiser podcast
production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Michael J.
Bustamante, Carlos Eire, Lillian Guerra, Jonathan Hansen, Peter
Kornbluh, Jennifer Lambe, Rogelio Martinez, Orlando Luis Pardo
Lazo, Alex von Tunzelmann, Ileana Yarza, Eduardo Zayas-Bazan.
