OM DENNE EPISODE
This week we dig into the messy aftermath of Castro’s victory — the revolutionary tribunals, the firing squads, and the international blowback that followed. We also get into Fidel’s complicated personal life, including his stunning mistress Naty Revuelta, his secret illegitimate daughter Alina, and the gatekeeper Celia Sanchez who kept everyone at arm’s length. Plus, Britain tells Castro to get stuffed when he asks for an apology, and Castro fires back at American media hypocrisy with some genuinely ballsy rhetoric.

This week we dig into the fallout from Castro’s agrarian reform law — the land grabs, the diplomatic notes flying between Havana and Washington, and the moment a Texas cattle baron handed Eisenhower the blueprint for 60+ years of US Cuba policy. We also cover Castro’s brilliant politica…
