## Resource

It's a strange time to be an American in Spain, with the Spanish media pushing an anti-American narrative almost constantly. In this episode I talk about Donald Trump, Nicolás Maduro, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and what it's like waking up to the hatred of a large part of your adopted country. Interesting times!
