About this listen

Episode 1 – “Revolution on the Island” traces Cuba’s transformation from a U.S.-dominated playground to the heart of a socialist revolution. The episode opens in pre-revolutionary Havana, where glamour masked corruption, inequality, and the brutal rule of Fulgencio Batista. It then moves through Cuba’s colonial past, independence struggles, and growing resentment toward foreign influence. The story centers on Fidel Castro’s rise—from the failed Moncada Barracks attack to guerrilla war in the Sierra Maestra—ending with Batista’s collapse in 1959. The episode closes by examining how a revolution promised as liberation quickly consolidated into a new authoritarian state.
