This episode is all about Cuba. As incoming travelers compete for the best \u201cauthentic\u201d Cuban food Instagram shots, it\u2019s worth remembering that many Cuban residents are going hungry. What does this juxtaposition of privation and prosperity mean? We then lighten the mood with a brief history\u2014and taste\u2014of Cuban rum.

Traveling with us this week are Patrick Simms, the author of two books on Cuba, and a journalist covering for Outside, The New York Times, Harper\u2019s, and GQ; Robert Reid, a former travel writer and the current host of OETA\u2019s Gallery America on PBS; and Jacob Grier, a prominent mixologist who is also a political writer for publications such as The Washington Post.
