“I learned about Porfirio Rubirosa through family tales. It’s rumored that he often stayed in Trujillo’s mansion in San Jose de las Matas, a province outside of Santiago, Dominican Republic, where my parents are from.
Like Christopher, I’m obsessed with Rubi and have done extensive research. I always wanted to tell his story because it represents time in Dominican history we don’t hear much about.
We know all about Trujillo and his malice, but not about a man who rolled in the same circles as the Rat Pack. A Dominicano who was perhaps the most admired man - for good and bad reasons - in the world.
A Dominicano, like me.
Big ups to Mr. Rivas for putting this out in the world.
I’m through episode one and loving it!
Can’t wait to keep listening.”
