I feel like I have a relatively surface-level understanding of Venezuela's recent history; anyone know of any good articles/books/podcasts/whatever I should check out? Also interested in sources on the "pink tide" generally.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I found this incredibly helpful in understanding the relatively recent history of the country.

Found the Venezuela analysis podcast, seems good so far.
