THE BANANA MASSACRE: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Episode description
Who’s to blame for the Banana Massacre?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian and musician James Eason to discuss the unthinkably brutal Banana Massacre in Cienaga, Colombia on December 5th 1928. Ever wondered where the phrase “Banana Republic” came from? It’s not a happy origin story. You might even find yourself deep in your thoughts about ethical employment and the importance of labor unions the next time you enjoy a banana! Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. Up on the board: Collective Corporate Gree, Exploitative Export Economy and the US Government.
