Brent's Two Cents: The Semi-Serious Thoughts of a Guy in Belize

Episode 1: The former leader of the KKK might be a citizen of Belize. Concern about Covid-19 when the Belize International Airport re-opens in August. And everything old could be new again when the UDP elects their next leader.
It's the debut episode of Brent's Two Cents, the newest podcast from Belize!

Episode 9: Counter messaging what actual health experts tell us is hurting efforts to contain Covid-19. The latest hoax getting traction in Belize, thanks to an evangelical pastor, is that ivermectin can cure Covid-19. Spoiler alert: it can't. So why are people spreading this fake news?
Plus some good news about how local artist Alex Sanker put down his paint brush, picked up a big stick and became a crime fighting superhero!

Episode 4: My two cents on a dark day in Belize's history as the GSU unleashes tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters at the Port of Belize. Why did this happen and who gave the order to attack?
Also, there is more than just health risks to consider with reopening the airport to foreign visitors. A few pissed off "Karens" could destroy the tourism brand of Belize. Is BTB ready to respond when that happens?
And a bit of good news about how Rotary and other generous Belizeans raised funds to help children prepare to return to school during these challenging times.
