episode description
In this special episode of Outpost, we travel to Puerto Rico and highlight the number of ways the Puerto Rican culture is not only unique to North and Latin America, but also to the rest of the world. From good food to punk rock to local biology, there's a lot more than meets the eye on one the Caribbean's Greater Antilles. Prominent New York experimental chef Laila Gohar takes us to visit the people reviving an agricultural industry on Puerto Rico that's feeding an explosion of great restaurants serving fresh, local food. We also meet the growing band of punk rockers on the island and learn that they do indeed have a lot to be angry about. In addition, we tag along with a pair of local biologists who are working hard to document a decline in the iconic tree frog of Puerto Rico, the Coqui, as they study the links between its shrinking population and global warming.
