Ep # 183: Revolutsioon! (feat. Christina Hoag)

Author: Läyeh June 25, 2024 Duration: 1:00:20

In this thrilling remake of our Season 1 musical episode, #dkLa is proud to present "Revolutsioon!" featuring the adventurous and multi-talented Christina Hoag. A former journalist with a career that reads like an adventure novel, Christina has seen it all and lived to tell the tale.



Throughout her career, Christina has:

- Had her laptop searched by Colombian guerrillas

- Had her phone tapped in Venezuela

- Been suspected of drug trafficking in Guyana

- Hid under a car to evade Guatemalan soldiers

- Posed as a nun to report from inside a Caracas jail

- Interviewed gang members, bank robbers, thieves, and thugs in prisons, shantytowns, and slums

- Spoken with billionaires and presidents, some of whom fell into the aforementioned categories



Now, Christina channels her wealth of experiences into her fiction writing, bringing to life the vivid characters and dramatic situations she has encountered in real life.



In this special episode, we not only delve into Christina's incredible stories and her transition from journalism to fiction, but we also bring back the musical flair from our original Season 1 episode. "Revolutsioon!" is packed with riveting tales, musical interludes, and valuable insights you won't want to miss.



Tune in to hear Christina Hoag's fascinating journey, her unique perspective on storytelling, and enjoy a touch of musical nostalgia. Hit "play" and join me!

There's a certain magic in catching a conversation before it's packaged for mass consumption, a raw authenticity that often gets smoothed away. #dkLa! Pirate Radio, steered by Läyeh, is built on that very premise. This podcast operates like an audio archive for the unfolding present, dedicating itself to deep, patient listening. You'll hear dialogues that feel more like discoveries than interviews, where ideas are presented in their formative, sometimes messy state, and cultural shifts are examined as they happen, not in retrospect. The rhythm here is intentionally different, prioritizing the craft of the conversation and the substance of the connection over the noise of immediacy. It’s a space shaped by a respect for enduring traditions and meticulous care, yet it remains dynamically open to what's next without compromising its core. Tuning into this feed means accessing a continuous document of voices and thoughts that value depth and continuity, offering a sustained, thoughtful engagement with society and culture that’s increasingly rare. This is where you listen closely, not just hear.
