  1. Hello listeners, These are my sources for the my podcast series "Worse than COVID"
  2. (that's the one about Venezuela and the USA).
  3.  
  4. All this information wasn't covered in the Podcast episodes.
  5. I am hoping to do a second part in the future with more questions that cover these topics in detail, but I included them here if you want to take a look... I know everyone is freaking bored right now. If you don't like to read, I included documentaries that I watched too.
  6. Watch them. They're better than Netflix by a long shot.
  7.  
  8. This is absolutely everything I read and watched over the course of my research.
  9. Enjoy.
