One True Podcast understands that we all can\u2019t get together at El Floridita and while away the afternoon telling stories and talking about Hemingway.\xa0 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 Vig\xeda Foundation.

Earlier we met up with Bob Vila to talk about his preservation work (see that show in our line-up), whereas today we are joined by Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern, the most Hemingway-relevant member of the United States Congress.\xa0 He discusses US-Cuba relations, the Finca Vig\xeda Foundation, Castro, and the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. \xa0

Opening clip: Rep. McGovern's floor speech, from 29 April 2016, honoring the Finca Vig\xeda Foundation and U.S.-Cuba collaboration (CSPAN). \xa0
