Thousands of languages are used around the world today, and this linguistic diversity is a precious part of our human heritage. But it's also more than that. Linguistic diversity provides clues—a vast crazy quilt of clues—about how language works, about how history has unfolded, about the dynamics of culture, and about the nature of the human mind. My guest today is Dr. Damián Blasi. Damián is an ICREA Research Professor based at the Center for Brain & Cognition at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. Over the last decade or so, Damián's emerged as one of the most innovative researchers in the study of language and linguistic diversity. He's been widely recognized for this work, and most recently was awarded the 2026 FABSS Early Career Impact Award from the Cognitive Science Society. In this conversation, Damián and talk about why scientists should care about linguistic diversity. We do a bit of linguistic diversity 101—how many languages there are, how we can enumerate them, how they vary from another. We discuss a recent paper in which Damian and his colleagues reconstructed the explosive rise and precipitous fall of human linguistic diversity over the last 12,000 years. We talk about the factors that drive language change. And we discuss how cognitive science relies too much on English and English speakers—and how this may be holding the field back. Along the way, Damián and I touch on the Tower of Babel, a golden age of linguistic diversity, the human bite configuration, scientific aesthetics, whether children shape language, polygenetic theories of language evolution, the pace of language change, schooling, linguistic inequality and behemoth languages, and why Damián thinks that possibility space of human language might be bigger and wilder than we currently imagine. This is a special episode of the Many Minds podcast. As I mentioned, Damián is this year's winner of an award from the Cognitive Science Society, in recognition of his outstanding early-year contributions to the field. He recently gave a keynote at the society's annual conference in Rio de Janeiro, and we've partnered with the Cognitive Science Society to feature this conversation about his work. I'll also mention that this wasn't my first time chatting with Damián—he's an alumnus of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI), the sponsor & incubator of this podcast. We met there a couple years ago, and so it was all the more fun to reconnect with him here. Alright friends, without further ado, on to my conversation with Dr. Damián Blasi. Enjoy!   Notes 10:00 – The UNESCO page on multilingualism and linguistic diversity. 17:00 – The Ethnologue database. 20:00 – For examples of Dr. Blasi's work on "behemoth languages" and on how languages are not represented equally in terms of technological and development investment, see here and here. 26:00 - For the paper in which Dr. Blasi and colleagues introduced Grambank, see here.

Hablamos en Bogotá con Gracy Pelacani, profesora de la Universidad de los Andes; en México con Gabriela Sliler Pagaza del Banco Base y el Tec de Monterrey, y en la capital colombiana con Andrés Nieto Molina, generador de contenidos musicales

Los incas construyeron extensos sistemas de terrazas agrícolas en los Andes peruanos, diseñadas específicamente para controlar la erosión durante las largas temporadas de lluvias intensas. Estas estructuras, con varios siglos de antigüedad, siguen funcionando perfectamente hoy, permitiendo que comunidades enteras cultiven en laderas que de otro modo serían completamente arrasadas por el agua. Dios trabaja con paciencia semejante al formar el carácter, construyendo estructura tras estructura para que la vida resista lo que de otra manera la destruiría. El Señor Jesús enseñó con parábolas agrícolas precisamente porque el crecimiento espiritual sigue procesos similares a la siembra y la cosecha. Tal vez sientes que tu proceso de maduración espiritual avanza demasiado despacio comparado con lo que esperabas de ti mismo. Como las terrazas andinas, cada estructura construida hoy con paciencia sostendrá cosechas que todavía no puedes imaginar por completo. Estructuras construidas con paciencia sostienen la cosecha futura. La Biblia dice en Salmos 65:9-10: "Visitas la tierra, y la riegas; en gran manera la enriqueces; con el río de Dios, lleno de aguas, preparas el grano de ellos". (RV1960).

Bolivia's North Yungas Road has a nickname it earned in full: the Road of Death. A single-lane ribbon of dirt and stone clinging to the Andes, with a wall of rock on one side and a two-thousand-foot drop into fog on the other — no guardrail, no shoulder, no mercy. It was carved out by prisoners of war in the 1930s, and for seventy years it killed by the hundreds, until it became the only road in Bolivia where you drive on the left, so you can watch your own wheels decide whether you live. But the people who bury their dead along it will tell you the danger isn't only the edge. It's what waits at the bends where the crosses cluster thickest — the women in the fog, standing where no living person ever would.   Tonight we drive it together. First a story: a young truck driver named Elías, one night, one old woman who needs a ride, and every warning his uncle ever gave him. Then the real history behind the fiction — the Chaco War, the unrecoverable bodies at the bottom of the gorge, the offerings made to a mountain that keeps a very exact ledger. As always, the story is invented. Everything underneath it is not. Keep to the left. Go slowly. And whatever you do — do not look over the edge.   #DestinationTerror #DeathRoad #NorthYungasRoad #Bolivia #YungasRoad #MostDangerousRoad #HauntedPlaces #GhostStories #Paranormal #TrueHorror #HorrorPodcast #ScaryStories #Andes #Pachamama #RoadOfDeath #CreepyPodcast #HauntedHighway #SpookyPodcast #FolkHorror #LadyInTheFog   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreakyFolklore Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're a woman in her 40s, 50s, and 60s and you're navigating pre-menopause and menopause and you're feeling exhausted. Your guts are all a mess and you're wondering what to do. Well, you've entered the wild, wild west of menopause. Because everybody has a different theory. Today’s guest, Cindy Dupuie is here to help us untangle that mess, get some clear guidance and direction. She's a functional medicine practitioner nutritionist, whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, bloodwork, and women in their pause years. So join us for a very revealing conversation! After Western medicine failed to provide Cindy Dupuie with any hope of healing her health crisis or relieving her from chronic illness, she took matters into her own hands. By following functional medicine's, root cause approach, Cindy healed herself. She became a nutritionist, and has been certified in functional medicine since 2008. Cindy is the founder of A Living Balance. Where her wellness practice is focused on diet and lifestyle modification to improve metabolic health, diabetes, heart disease, and to reverse the aging process by finding the root cause of chronic disease and by correcting any imbalances found within the digestive system, in hormones, or in the detoxification system. Watch or listen to the show to be inspired to make small lifestyle changes today and get your healing started to feel better and live a balanced life at the top of your game. You’re Invited!

She's a functional medicine practitioner/nutritionist whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, blood work, and women in their Pause years. It's her goal to educate and empower women to advocate for themselves. Cindy received her BS degree in Dietetics many moons ago and then found Functional Medicine over 23 years ago when she was going through a very difficult time in her life- her digestive system was rebelling like a teenager, and was thrown into an early menopause at the age of 43. Since that time, she's never looked back and has helped 100's of clients heal through the functional medicine lens. One of Cindy's super powers is to research, connect the dots, listen and to teach. She likes to dig deep. She doesn't take things at face value. She's happiest when she's in front of an audience, even an audience of one. Along with helping her ladies in her 1:1 telehealth practice, she offers courses, lab work assessments and teaches yoga. She's also a mom and grandma. Her main goal is to help women have the ability to be their own healthcare advocate.

Blending coaching and healing, masculine and feminine, they guide others to clarify their path forward, dissolve self-limiting patterns, and master the game of life. Alexander's Path: With a merit scholarship to attend Harvard, a state championship final in tennis, a gold medal in rowing, and a successful career as a Wall Street consultant, the trajectory of Alexander’s life was nonetheless set at age 17 when he experienced a surprising spiritual awakening. It began for him a spiritual quest through Evangelical Christianity, Roman Catholic seminary, India, ayahuasca, indigenous traditions, and every esoteric system until he discovered the ancient Book of Life hidden in plain sight as a “deck of 52 playing cards.” Viki's Path: A successful model who’s walked runways around the world and a jazzy singer-songwriter with her own studio album, Viki’s true calling only arrived when an energy healer did for her what doctors couldn’t do: heal her medical issue. It initiated her on a journey to awaken her own gift as an energy healer. Along the way, she rediscovered the spirituality she’d lost as a little girl who used to get so nauseous in church that she had to get out to get fresh air. Now, as an adult, she has realized of herself that she is a clear channel of Source healing energy.

High in the Andes of Peru, 2,400 metres above sea level, Machu Picchu stands as one of the world's great architectural achievements. But the extraordinary stonework, terraces and temples of Machu Picchu are just part of a much biggerstory.In this special episode of Light, Cities & Architecture, AntonyDiMase and writer and editor Justine Costigan explore the architecture, culture and legacy of the Incan Empire. Recently returned from Peru, Justine shares her experiences visiting Machu Picchu, Cusco and other significant Incan sites,offering a firsthand perspective on a civilisation that built an enormous and sophisticated empire in little more than a century.How did the Incas construct precisely fitted stone buildings without mortar, iron or modern machinery? How did they govern an empire without a written alphabet or currency? And what can their agricultural systems, infrastructureand approach to building in one of the world's most challenging landscapes tell us about architecture today?The conversation also explores the relationship between architecture and nature, from buildings aligned with the sun, moon and stars to agricultural terraces engineered to manage water and erosion. We consider why Incan buildings have survived centuries of earthquakes while many Spanish colonial structures have not—and what this reveals about architecture that is genuinely rooted in place.The episode also looks beyond the romance of Machu Picchu. Antony and Justine discuss the violence of Spanish conquest, the destruction of Indigenous architecture and culture, and the misleading story of Machu Picchu as a “lost city” supposedly discovered by the West. They explore how Incan traditions survived through cultural and religious syncretism, and how Indigenous influences continue to shape Peruvian culture today.Finally, the conversation turns to modern Peru: its extraordinary natural resources, food culture, agricultural knowledge, relationship with tourism and the enduring pride Peruvians have in their heritage.This is a story about stone, landscape and extraordinary ingenuity—but also about whose history gets told, what survives conquest, and what architecture can teach us about culture, resilience and our relationship with place.Special thanks to:Suzanne McLeod at Image on Line in Collingwood where we recorded our podcast.

In this episode, Alex sits down with his uncle, geologist Dr. Robert Drake, to explore a career spent mapping the remote Andes, climbing 21,000-foot volcanoes, and helping reshape scientists' understanding of one of the world's great mountain ranges. They discuss Bob's expeditions with legendary volcanologist Wes Hildreth, the volcanic hazards they studied, and the discoveries that emerged from decades of fieldwork in Chile and Argentina. The conversation also reflects on the reunion Bob, Wes, and Judy Fierstein had planned to retrace their landmark 1984 expedition—a trip that never happened after Wes canceled at the last minute and passed away not long afterward. It's a story of scientific discovery, adventure, lifelong friendship, and the enduring legacy of one of the world's great volcanologists.

Pablo Aguado brilla en El Puerto de Santamaría con una faena antológica y abre la puerta grande de la Plaza Real junto a Andrés Roca Rey, que también corta dos orejas en una tarde en la que Morante solo consiguió un trofeo. En Íscar, Borja Jiménez corta tres orejas y también sale a hombros. Y en Herrera de Pisuerga, Jorge Oliva se proclama ganador del Circuito de Novilladas de Castilla y León. Además, entrevistamos a César Baltazar, el cirujano que salvó la vida al torero valenciano Jordi Pérez, "El Niño de las Monjas", en Perú, atendiéndole por videollamada tras sufrir una cornada de nueve centímetros en el cuello en un remoto pueblo de los Andes. Y en la tertulia del domingo, Federico Arnás y Juan Antonio de Labra analizan el triunfo del mexicano Héctor Gutiérrez en la Copa Chenel y hacen balance del certamen.Escuchar audio

En el año 1817, el general José de San Martín cruzó los Andes con miles de soldados rumbo a Chile. Nieve, vientos helados y tormentas repentinas azotaron la travesía durante casi tres semanas. Muchos no habían visto una tempestad de esa magnitud, pero la ruta se había estudiado con meses de anticipación, considerando cada cambio posible del clima. La fe funciona de manera semejante. Ninguna tormenta que enfrentas hoy toma a Dios por sorpresa; Él conocía el camino antes de que dieras el primer paso. El Señor Jesús advirtió que las tormentas llegan a todos, pero prometió no dejar solo a quien confía en Él. La previsión divina no elimina la tempestad, la sostiene. Quizá hoy enfrentas un cambio repentino o una noticia difícil que no anticipabas. Dios ya trazó una ruta, aunque aún no la veas con claridad. Descansa en que Su previsión es mayor que tu incertidumbre. Firmes en la tormenta, porque Dios ya conoce el camino. La Biblia dice en Nahúm 1:3: "Jehová es tardo para la ira y grande en poder, y no tendrá por inocente al culpable; Jehová marcha en la tempestad y el torbellino, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies". (RV1960).

Welcome back to Ninjas Are Butterflies! This week, we travel deep into the Andes to investigate The Mountain That Eats Men and the terrifying horned deity known as El Tío, a figure locals still leave offerings to deep inside the mines. Is it ancient folklore, something darker, or a warning that's been misunderstood? We also break down a cryptic Chinese public service announcement that appears to warn citizens about contacting extraterrestrials, explore the fascinating ancient underground cities discovered in Turkey, discuss the growing reach of Flock cameras, unpack the latest developments surrounding OpenAI, and dive into even more strange stories from around the world.

This summer has been anything but quiet for infectious diseases. In this episode of Contagion Podcast, hosts Drs. Vivian Vega and Jackie Sherbuk take listeners on a fast-paced tour through the outbreaks, emerging threats, and public health stories that have dominated conversations among infectious disease specialists—and increasingly, the general public.The episode begins with the nationwide Cyclospora outbreak, examining why this foodborne parasite has become one of the summer's biggest public health stories. The hosts explain how contaminated produce, long incubation periods, and complex food distribution networks make outbreak investigations particularly challenging, while providing practical advice on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.Next, they explore the remarkable Andes hantavirus outbreak linked to an expedition cruise in Patagonia. This unusual event highlights the only hantavirus known to spread from person to person and serves as a fascinating case study in how ecotourism, international travel, and delayed symptom onset can complicate outbreak investigations across multiple countries.The conversation then shifts to one of the most extraordinary success stories in public health: the battle against the New World screwworm. Listeners will discover how millions of sterile flies have been used to eradicate one of history's most destructive livestock pests—and why climate change, wildlife movement, and border challenges now threaten decades of success.The hosts also review the ongoing Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York City, discussing how modern environmental surveillance, rapid public health response, and laboratory testing work together to control urban outbreaks before they expand further.Attention then turns to the rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the rare Bundibugyo strain presents new challenges because currently available vaccines and therapies are not proven to work against it. The discussion highlights the importance of surveillance, contact tracing, community trust, and ongoing clinical trials in outbreak response.Finally, the episode examines how public health agencies prepared for infectious disease threats during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, from measles and respiratory viruses to wastewater surveillance, social media monitoring, and behind-the-scenes coordination that helps keep millions of travelers safe.Blending humor, clinical insight, and real-world epidemiology, this episode offers an engaging look at the infectious disease stories shaping the summer of 2026. Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, or simply curious about emerging health threats, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the science, surveillance, and public health efforts that work quietly behind the scenes to protect us all.Dr. Vega would like to thank her friend Job Meiller for his musical contributions, "Hotel California," and "Can't Get You Out of My Mind," to our segment breaks. Thank you, Job!Thanks also to Dr. Ana Velez, our artistic contributor, for her artwork utilized in our episode thumbnail, "The Mouse Who Never Meant to Harm."

The impact of the Columbian Exchange on Indigenous agriculture in the Americas was profound, complex, and often tragic—a story of innovation clashing with catastrophe, where new tools and resources arrived amid devastation that reshaped entire ways of life.Before 1492, Indigenous peoples across the Americas had developed sophisticated agricultural systems perfectly adapted to their diverse environments. In Mesoamerica, the "Three Sisters"—maize (corn), beans, and squash—formed a nutritionally balanced, sustainable complex that enriched soil naturally: corn provided stalks for beans to climb, beans fixed nitrogen, and squash shaded the ground to retain moisture and suppress weeds. This polyculture, supplemented by chili peppers, tomatoes, avocados, pumpkins, and more, supported dense populations in places like the Aztec heartland. In the Andes, the Inca engineered terraced fields and vast irrigation networks to cultivate potatoes, quinoa, and other hardy tubers at high altitudes. In North America, from the Eastern Woodlands to the Southwest, communities practiced companion planting, controlled burns for fertile clearings, and seasonal rotations that maintained biodiversity and soil health. These systems were ingenious, yielding high caloric output with minimal large-animal labor—llamas in the Andes carried loads but were not plow-pullers, and dogs were the primary domesticated companions elsewhere. Indigenous diets were often more varied and nutrient-rich than those of many contemporary Europeans, contributing to taller statures and robust health noted by early explorers.Then came the Exchange—Old World introductions flooded in with European settlers, conquerors, and enslaved Africans. Wheat, barley, rye, rice, oats, sugarcane, bananas, citrus fruits, peaches, olives, onions, and coffee took root in American soils. These crops reshaped landscapes: wheat thrived in temperate zones such as the future U.S. Midwest and the Argentine Pampas. At the same time, sugarcane spread across the Caribbean and Brazil, giving rise to plantation economies. But for Indigenous farmers, adoption was uneven and often forced. Some groups integrated useful additions—wheat-supplemented diets in certain regions and metal tools (plows, hoes) from Europe —that improved efficiency where survivors could access them.The most transformative changes came from animals. Horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, oxen, donkeys, and mules crossed the Atlantic starting with Columbus's second voyage in 1493. These changes opened new possibilities: horses enabled faster travel, expanded hunting ranges (especially for Plains peoples who adopted them to hunt buffalo more effectively), and shifted some groups from farming toward nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles. Oxen and horses made plowing feasible for the first time in many areas, increasing field sizes and productivity. Cattle and pigs provided new sources of meat, hides, wool, and dairy—previously limited or absent. In some communities, these additions enhanced agriculture by offering draft power and protein diversity.Yet these "benefits" were overshadowed by destruction. Feral pigs and cattle trampled and devoured Indigenous crops, turning fertile fields into damaged grazing lands and sparking conflicts between herders and farmers that had rarely existed before. Goats and sheep overgrazed fragile soils, accelerating erosion in places like Mexico. Weeds and pests hitchhiked with Old World seeds, invading native fields. Most devastatingly, the demographic collapse from Old World diseases—smallpox, measles, influenza, typhus—decimated populations by 50–95% in many regions within a century. Entire villages vanished, leaving fields fallow and knowledge systems disrupted. Survivors faced land seizures, forced labor on European plantations growing imported crops like sugar and wheat, and the erosion of traditional practices. Full ContentMore Podcasts

La ciudad de Los Andes fue fundada como Villa Santa Rosa de Los Andes el 31 de julio de 1791, por decreto del Gobernador del Reino de Chile Ambrosio O'Higgins, en el lugar conocido como "Las Piedras Paradas". Su objetivo era establecer un poblado que diera reabastecimiento y hospedaje a los viajeros que cruzaban la cordillera de los Andes.

When did we need life to be so predictable and safe that it siphoned all the adventure and aliveness out? The antidote is questions and initiations to open the mystery back up by challenging everything we think we know. And our guest today, Lincoln Stoller, is here to invite us to some interesting perspectives. Join us to find out more! Lincoln Stoller is a mountaineer, physicist, computer scientist, entrepreneur, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and neuropsychologist.  Lincoln was born later in life to parents who were both artists who provided him support, motivation and encouragement to be creative, but not much direction to pursue those.  He was rebellious, pushed boundaries and resentfully attended public school, constantly questioning the limitations taught in classrooms by his teachers.  Lincoln preferred real danger like what he found in his introduction to mountaineering over fabricated danger. With time and maturity, Lincoln learned that if you’re going to be in more and more dangerous situations, the consequences of your mistakes get increasingly serious.  Lincoln Stoller is also a bestselling, award-winning author. While writing both his first book “The Learning Project – Rites of Passage” he spoke to a lot of people who went through rites of passage, and they said several important things, one of which was to find mentors. Lincoln now works from his home on Vancouver Island, to provide counseling, consulting and brain training to achieve goals, relieve stress, and help you to redefine your future. Watch or listen to the show to learn tips to help you achieve goals, relieve stress, and redefine your future.  You’re Invited!

He works remotely worldwide and in-person on Vancouver Island, Canada. He addresses short-term mental health situations dealing with symptoms of anxiety, emotional distress, depression, and trauma due to difficult relationships or ill health. He is especially interested in people who are changing or creating things. He does not subscribe to any psychotherapeutic modality and instead work with each person’s unique issues, strengths, weaknesses, and situations. What you want to do and are able to do are all that he focuses on. While he is interested in mental and physical diagnoses he is not directed by them; his response to both is, “How can you benefit from dealing with this?” Lincoln offers a 3-level sliding scale based on whether you are insured, employed, both or neither. Under some conditions he will accept a lower or request a higher fee. He lists his rates in US dollars. He offers a free, introductory consultation which you can schedule on that website.

Llegamos a los 200 capítulos, por eso vamos a conmemorarlo de la única forma que sabemos: haciéndonos más preguntas. ¿Le estamos dejando un mundo mejor o peor a las futuras generaciones? Para este capítulo hablamos con Biviana Unger, directora de la carrera de filosofía de la Universidad Javeriana; con Alexander Campos, editor de Colombia Check; con Angelika Rettberg, decana de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de los Andes; con Paola Arias, doctora en ciencias geológicas y docente de la Universidad de Antioquia; y con Edgar Varela, director del Instituto de Prospectiva, Innovación y Gestión del  Conocimiento de la Universidad del Valle. 

The potato may be one of the world's most beloved foods but it's also an insult. In Colombia, speaking with "una papa en la boca" means you mumble — or that you're too posh. Producer Christina Cala follows the potato from Bad Bunny to the Andes to her own mother's kitchen, and finds that potato jokes are often about whose heritage gets celebrated and who gets treated like they're worth understanding.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Pour écouter 5.000 ans d'Histoire en une fois, sans pub et avec les Bonus :https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Retour sur le 24 juillet 1911, quand le Machu Picchu sort des nuages. En effet, le 24 juillet 1911, un homme grimpe les pentes abruptes de la cordillère des Andes au Pérou. Il s'appelle Hiram Bingham, il est professeur à Yale et il cherche une cité perdue, Vilcabamba, dernier refuge supposé des Incas. Et ce n'est pas exactement ce qu'il va trouver. Ce jour-là, guidé par des paysans locaux, il découvre dissimulée sous la végétation une cité de pierres suspendue à plus de 2400 mètres d'altitude. Des terrasses, des murs cyclopéens, des temples parfaitement assemblés, comme intactes malgré les siècles. Le Machu Picchu. Les habitants du coin la connaissent déjà, mais Hiram Bingham, lui, la révèle au monde occidental. Il prend des notes, des photos, envoie des télégrammes, la presse s'emballe, on a retrouvé la cité perdue des Incas. En réalité, le Machu Picchu n'était ni une capitale, ni dernier bastion, certainement une résidence royale, ou un sanctuaire, peut-être les deux, construite au XVe siècle sous l'empereur Pachacutec, puis abandonnée à l'arrivée des Espagnols, sans jamais être détruite. Et longtemps, la jungle en a gardé le secret, le 24 juillet 1911, le mystère ressurgit donc des nuages, et on découvre une civilisation brillante, capable d'architecture monumentale sans roues, sans fer, sans écriture, mais avec une précision défiant les siècles. Aujourd'hui, le Machu Picchu est un symbole de résistance, de beauté et d'un monde précolombien qu'on a trop souvent voulu effacer. A demain dans TIME SHOT pour une nouvelle Minute Histoire.

If you walk down a street in a low-income country, count the businesses you can see, you will miss many entirely. Someone who cooks at home and sells at the roadside never appears in a registry. What we know about businesses in developing countries has always been incomplete. In this week's VoxDev Talk, Marcela Eslava (Universidad de los Andes Bogota) talks to Tim Phillips about two decades of research into why firms in developing economies stay small, grow slowly, and rarely break through. A worker in a developing economy is about three times more likely to be running, or working in, one of these very small businesses than a worker in a high income economy, and far more likely to be self-employed, a one-person firm. Weaker human capital and less access to technology make it harder to start a business. Costlier credit, labour regulation that makes it difficult and expensive to employ staff, and taxes on formal firms make it harder to grow. Some of these distortions are even introduced by well-meaning policymakers, such as low taxes for small firms - which then effectively tax growth.The research behind this episode:Eslava, Marcela. 2026. "Firm Size and Dynamics in Less-Developed Economies." Annual Review of Economics, volume 18. Review in advance; changes may still occur before final publication.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Marcela Eslava. 2026. "Why businesses stay small in emerging markets." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestMarcela Eslava is Professor of Economics and Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota¡, and President of the Latin American and the Caribbean Economic Association. Her research spans firm dynamics, productivity and demand at the firm level, labour informality, credit constraints, and the regulations that shape how businesses grow in developing economies.Research cited in this episodeThe Lucas-Hopenhayn framework. The workhorse model of firm dynamics, built on Robert Lucas's 1978 account of occupational choice and Hugo Hopenhayn's 1992 model of entry and exit; it links the size of the average firm to the productivity of potential entrepreneurs and to distortions that stop the most efficient firms from scaling. Eslava's review extends it to explain why firms are smaller in poorer economies.Nonemployers and micro employers. Own-account and self-employed workers plus the smallest employers; in Eslava and co-authors' sample of 51 economies they account for over 90% of employment in lower-middle-income economies and around 20% in the United States. Their dominance is the main reason average firm size is so low in poorer countries.Correlated distortions. Taxes, regulations and credit frictions that fall more heavily on high-productivity firms; because they hold back the firms that should be growing, they push labour towards less productive businesses and drag down aggregate output. They show up in the models as residuals, the part of the size gap that productivity and quality cannot explain.Size-dependent policies. Rules that switch on above an employment threshold, such as the extra workplace obligations that apply to firms above 50 employees in France, or above 20 in Peru; Eslava describes comparing firms just above and just below a threshold as one way to prise open the black box of distortions and measure what a specific rule does.Demand versus cost efficiency. Work on Colombian manufacturing decomposing a firm's success into technical efficiency and the appeal of its products; the demand side contributes many times more to differences in revenue than cost efficiency does. Eslava's point is that trimming costs buys survival, while product quality and market access drive real growth.The data-coverage puzzle. Early firm-level studies found average firm size falling as countries got richer, the reverse of what later work established; the anomaly came from datasets that captured only the large, registered firms in poor economies and missed the vast base of tiny ones. Better censuses, and household and employment surveys that count people rather than firms, corrected the picture.More VoxDev Talks episodesWhat have we learned about the informal sector?

Sara Lecompte Cuvelier swore she would never work in wine. Then in 2018, she became Managing Director of one of the five Second Grand Cru Classé estates in Saint-Julien. Her sister Anne had already been there for thirteen years, building something from nothing. That is the story of Château Léoville Poyferré — and neither of them planned any of it. In this episode of Read Between the Wines, Pierre Ferland sits down with Sara and Anne Cuvelier at Château Léoville Poyferré in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France, for the first of a two-part conversation. The Cuvelier family has been in wine since 1804, beginning as négociants near Lille in the north of France, acquiring Léoville Poyferré in 1920, and extending the family story all the way to the foot of the Andes in Mendoza with Cuvelier Los Andes in 2003. The conversation covers what it means to inherit something you did not build. The demi-wolf on the label that belonged to the Lawton family and was kept without question. The family motto borrowed from Le Petit Prince: the essential is invisible to the eye. Anne building wine tourism at a classified growth estate before Bordeaux believed that was possible. Sara arriving with a background in human resources and discovering it was exactly what the job required. And the word Sara says you need to remember about this estate. Not prestige. Not history. Precision. Part two, where Sara and Anne go deep into the vineyard, the wines, and what Bordeaux still needs to say out loud, is available exclusively at readbetweenthewines.com. Featuring: Château Léoville Poyferré, Saint-Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Second Grand Cru Classé.

Occultism was prominent in the highest echelon of the Third Reich, and mysterious figures from the shadows played outsized roles in the future of Germany. Upper management within the Nazi S.S. was reserved for those enlightened in the dark arts, with Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky heavily influencing those in positions of great power. Expeditions were launched globally to explore places under Antarctica, mysterious locations in the Andes of Peru, and the entrance to the hidden kingdom of Shambala inside the hollow Earth in Tibet, all searching for confirmation of their superiority through the collection of ancient artifacts.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a deadly earthquake in Peru's Andes region.

This episode brings together two experts to discuss recent second-round presidential elections in Peru and Colombia: Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow at WOLA and professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government, and a leading expert on Peru; and Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, WOLA's Director for the Andes, who maintains close contact with Colombian civil society. Both elections produced razor-thin margins, and both delivered victories to right-wing, populist candidates promising crackdowns on crime and a hard line against their political adversaries. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won the presidency on her fourth attempt, while in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeated left-leaning Iván Cepeda. Burt describes Fujimori's ascent as the culmination of years spent consolidating control over Peru's key institutions, like Congress, the constitutional tribunal, and the attorney general's office. She characterizes Fujimori as "singularly motivated, singularly ambitious, and singularly ruthless," shaped by her upbringing under her father Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian government. Burt warns that Fujimori is driven by a desire for revenge against those who helped prosecute and imprison her father, including journalists like Gustavo Gorriti, human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. She details a legislative landscape already tilted toward impunity—amnesty laws shielding police and military, and restrictions crippling NGOs' ability to represent victims. Burt argues Peru has drifted toward a hybrid or even authoritarian regime. Sánchez-Garzoli paints a tense picture in Colombia, where outgoing President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the election results, alleging fraud and foreign interference despite institutional findings to the contrary. She notes intervention by the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers. With the transition suspended and Petro calling supporters into the streets, while armed groups reposition, Sánchez-Garzoli warns of a real risk of political violence. She outlines de la Espriella's "iron fist" agenda: mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, reviving the controversial ESMAD riot police, and a "special urban defense bloc" that she fears could blur the line between state security and paramilitary activity, echoing Colombia's dark history. "Colombia can't return to the belief that problems can be solved through bullets," she says, paraphrasing Colombian human rights defender Leyner Palacios. The conversation explores the deeper social fractures driving these results: in Peru, divisions of race, class, and region between Lima and the neglected Andean provinces, alongside a "frozen" collective memory of the 1980s-90s internal armed conflict manipulated to smear the left as communist. In Colombia, urban-rural divides also shape perceptions of security and the peace process. Both guests anticipate closer alignment with Washington, though they distinguish ideological affinity from generous funding. Sánchez-Garzoli expects a "total reset" in U.S.-Colombia relations, possible joint operations, and migration cooperation including reports of a plan to facilitate deportations of Colombian asylum seekers. Burt notes U.S. concern over China's growing influence in Peru. Despite the grim outlook, both find grains of hope: in Peru, a tentative opposition alliance and a still-vibrant regional civil society; in Colombia, strong institutions, a diverse Congress, and a resilient press and civil society. The episode closes with a reflection that both presidents-elect, lacking strong bases, face the "Milei challenge" of governing without a coalition.

Planning your first trek to Peru? In this episode, Lisa shares five things she wishes she'd known before hiking to Machu Picchu, including altitude tips, what to expect in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and how to prepare for an unforgettable trek through the Andes. Whether you're planning the Laras Trek, the Inca Trail, or simply visiting Machu Picchu, these practical tips will help you make the most of your Peru adventure.

When you've been brought up in a culture of right versus wrong polarity, how do you navigate your way out of that maze as it's falling apart all around you? Gazit Chaya is here to share wisdom gained from leaving fundamentally evangelical Christianity, and building a life truly worth living that honors their core values. Join us to find out more! Gazit Chaya has survived several traumatic brain injuries and decades of anxiety, neurodivergence and depressing thoughts of self harm. Gazit has experienced the challenges of divorce, lived with postpartum depression, gotten through a stay in a psych hospital and survived a suicide attempt. For over 15 years, Gazit Chaya was a speech language pathologist in public schools trained specifically to work with children with autism. Gazit is also a mental health Coach, a YouTuber, a Public Speaker, and an Educator, teaching workshops about trauma recovery and nervous system regulation. They are the founder of The Luria Center, a resource for personal development as well as the Author of Holy Shit. Gazit Chaya helps clients by using a combination of the following protocols; Certified Somatic Parts Work, Safe and Sound Protocol, Values Based Integration Process, The work of Byron Katie, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Watch or listen to the show to learn how you can build a life truly worth living. You’re Invited! GAZIT CHAYA BIO Gazit Chaya Nkosi (they/m) is guided by the Rumi line, “Out beyond right doing and wrongdoing there is a field—I'll meet you there.” Their first 35 years were spent trying to be good while navigating chronic anxiety, suicidality, sensory sensitivity, and social communication mismatches. Postpartum depression brought them to a rock bottom that became a portal to a place where “good” was no longer the goal. This led to a new paradigm in which they began creating a life truly worth living, one filled with special interests, plenty of free and unstructured time, and work that is truly aligned. Gazit Chaya now sojourns with other souls interested in letting go of culture and coming back to Self, meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong through somatic parts work, The Work of Byron Katie, the Values Based Integration Process, and the Safe and Sound Protocol.
