One True Podcast understands that we all can’t get together at El Floridita and while away the afternoon telling stories and talking about Hemingway. However, we can serve up our first batch of Papa Dobles for our listeners, a doubleheader of episodes dealing with Hemingway, Cuba, and the valuable work of the Finca Vigía Foundation.
Episode 1: Bob Vila on the Finca Vigía Preservation Project
Mark Cirino, Michael Von Cannon, and Bob Vila
In this first episode, we welcome Bob Vila, the legendary home repair TV personality to discuss his role in restoring and preserving the Hemingway house and its contents, as well as his upbringing in Cuba and south Florida. We hope you’ll enjoy this special episode!
Episode 2: Representative Jim McGovern on the Finca Vigía Foundation
Mark Cirino, Michael Von Cannon, and Representative Jim McGovern
We are joined by Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern, the most Hemingway-relevant member of the United States Congress. He discusses US-Cuba relations, the Finca Vigía Foundation, Castro, and the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston.
