Why El Salvador isn’t bringing back coffee
El Salvador used to grow a quarter of the world’s coffees. Today, it’s barely more than a rounding error. As coffee production fell, illegal migration to America grew. But there are many Salvadorans who want to grow coffee again and give Trump fewer reasons to build a wall. What’s holding them back? ——————————— Buy your next coffee from a marginalized farmer: http://www.marginalizedfarmers.org/ Leave a review for Filter Stories on Castbox! https://castbox.fm/channel/Filter-Stories---Coffee-Documentaries-id1392173?country=us Sign up to the Filter Stories newsletter here: http://www.eepurl.com/dD-sY1 Recommend Filter Stories to other podcast lovers on Podyssey! https://podyssey.fm/podcast/itunes1428327760-Filter-Stories Piano music composed and performed by James Harper Sound mixing: Dom Edgley / https://domedgleysound.com/ Filter Stories logo design: https://headquarters.studio/ A big thanks to Álvaro Castro Check out Standart, the award-winning coffee magazine.

A Eulogy for Tito
Hector “tito” Vargas passed away in December 2019. We honor him by playing the season finale of the Duolingo Spanish Podcast. Correction: Tito passed away from a gunshot wound and not a heart attack. It's unknown at this stage whether it was suicide or murder. Visiting Panama? I recommend Oscar as your guide: http://muchogustopanama.com/ Check out Standart, the award-winning coffee magazine.

Aquiares
In Central America, you can’t tell the story of coffee without mentioning war. This is Alfonso. He's hugged Fidel Castro and President Reagan chartered a private plane so he could attend a photoshoot at the White House. In the 1980s, Alfonso almost gets murdered three times for trying to bring democracy to Nicaragua. And all the while, his sanctuary, the coffee farm “Aquiares", begins collapsing too. This story reveals the blood and tears that could fill your morning cup of coffee. ———————————— If you haven't already, please subscribe to the show and review us on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/filter-stories/id1428327760?l=en&mt=2 Join the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesharper/filter-stories-youve-heard-the-story-now-taste-the?ref=30q5cc Sign up to the Filter Stories newsletter here: http://www.eepurl.com/dD-sY1 Recommend Filter Stories to other podcast lovers on Podyssey! https://podyssey.fm/podcast/itunes1428327760-Filter-Stories More episode information here: https://medium.com/@FilterStories Piano music composed and performed by James Harper Sound mixing: Dom Edgley / https://domedgleysound.com/ Filter Stories logo: https://headquarters.studio/ A big thanks to: Ariel Bravo, the Robelos, Fabio Gadea Mantilla, Carlos Fernando Chamorro Editorial thanks: Kinga Pecak, Daniel Orgera, Anja Krieger.
