Tune in here every Friday for a weekly 30-minute analysis of news and public affairs in Latin America, brought to you via podcast in cooperation with American University School of Communication and Link TV.

For four years Link TV produced a video series that provided in-depth analysis of issues in Latin America. Although that video series is now on hiatus, this podcast of the same name is produced in the spirit of that original program.

(February 10, 2012) With primary elections for the opposition in Venezuela this weekend, Latin Pulse focuses on the political situation in that South American country.

This special program features a complete analysis of all of the opposition candidates and a review of their potential in this fall's election against President Hugo Chavez.
