Episode 20: Guatemala
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. We will be drawing each new country out of a hat and taking turns researching them. For episode 20, we're learning all about Guatemala and their anthem, simply named Himno Nacional
In Episode 20, we visit Central America to take a wild ride through Guatemala's fascinating history. Everything from Mayans and Cortés to a shockingly long string of dictators comes up in this one, along with our old friend from the Moldova episode: Sam The Banana Man himself.
