BONUS episode - In the Guantánamo Bay Gift Shop

There is a gift shop in Guantánamo Bay. That’s it. That’s the episode. From ‘mindfulness’ mugs to lip balms, Kasia and Dan explore the extremely cursed Guantánamo merchandise and everyday objects on offer - alongside ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ like waterboarding, and the kidnapping of foreign nationals for long-term detention without charge. From their use of euphemistic language, to the geography and history of this highly secretive US naval base, still squatting on Cuban soil – this is part history lesson, part fury at the continuing injustices committed in the name of the war on terror and 'all our freedoms'.
