Update from the Team - New Directions

Thank you all so much for supporting our podcast and  our newsletter team. We have been brainstorming how to evolve the podcast and begin creating our own content connected to current events in the region and so we apologize for the pause on our weekly episodes. It has been a little tricky as we want to make sure we are intentional with the direction the podcast will take. At the same time we have been looking to recruit another member to our team to join us in a creative thought process and balance the workload in what we anticipate may be a bi-monthly project. That said, we have to thank you all once more and a special shoutout to the newsletter team for continuously delivering the weekly newsletter. So please make sure to subscribe and make Central American News a reliable sender in your inbox setting so you don’t miss out on weekly updates.
