Episode 22 - Live and Let Die - The Voodoo Tyrant, "Papa Doc"

Live and Let Die has the masterful performance of Yaphet Koto as Dr. Kanaga, a deranged dictator for the island of San Monique who uses voodoo and the legend of Baron Samedi to strike fear into his subjects.  In this episode we're going to get into the story of Francois Duvalier, better known as "Papa Doc", the Voodoo Tyrant.  Papa Doc ruled Haiti with brutality and fear.  Papa Doc used murder, intimidation, and the perpetuation of voodoo and that he himself was the Lao, Baron Samedi.  Join as we go through the rise to power of one of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century.  Follow his journey from medical doctor, to coming to the United States and finding his way to power through the ideals of Marxism and Communism.  Also learn exactly who Baron Samedi is, and what the people who believe in voodoo believe him able to do.  Learn how to play with the Funko Pops properly for bedtime, and hear why Kardashianville may be a thing one day.   One of the most interesting episodes I've ever written, covering one of the best movie characters in the Bond movies.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donald-waldron/support
