Today we have Austin Hess with us from the Panama Good Times, we take a look at the latest edition and have a general chat about things that are good here in Panama.
Today by the way is World Population Day, the figures are a bit disturbing to say the lease. In 1987 there was a population of 5 billion, in just 30 years that has risen to 7.5 billion. That is a 50% increase. If we thought global warming was a problem… watch out for the people!
