US Election: the View from Miami
Strong Cuban coffee, strong loyalties and strong views in Miami, where Emilio San Pedro gets US election insights from the 大象传媒 Mundo team.
Guest presenter Emilio San Pedro heads to Miami's Little Havana district and its famous Versailles cafe to talk politics with Ivette Leyva and Luis Fajardo of 大象传媒 Mundo and Rafael Abuchaibe of 大象传媒 Monitoring.
Later he watches the final presidential debate at the 大象传媒 bureau as the Mundo team pick out what is of most interest to their audience and watch for reaction on social media.
Eating and voting with Miami's Colombians and Venezuelans
Emilio referees a food competition: Colombians Claudia Plazas and Rafael Abuchaibe versus Venezuelan Patricia Sulbaran. Whose 'arepas' are better? They also reflect on the recent No vote in the Colombian referendum on the peace deal with Farc rebels, and the significance of the vote from Colombians in Miami.
Multiple Choice
For decades, Chilean teenagers had to sit the Academic Aptitude Test in order to apply for university. Chilean writer Alejandro Zambra has gone back to this stressful time for his latest novel, Multiple Choice. Constanza Hola of 大象传媒 Mundo, who sat the test herself, puts Alejandro through his paces.
And Fifi Haroon's pick of the world wide web.
