Send Steve a Text MessageWhat happens when curiosity meets musical passion? For Miguel Navarro, it sparked a remarkable journey across genres, techniques, and even countries. In this captivating conversation with Steve, Miguel reveals the winding path that brought him from childhood lessons in Chile to becoming a respected instructor at GuitarZoom Academy.Miguel's story begins with childhood inspiration from a popular puppet show, leading to his first guitar lessons at age eight. The social aspect of learning alongside his best friend created a motivational foundation that would shape his approach to music for years to come. His narrative takes us through his progression from simple open chords to formal conservatory training, where he embraced classical guitar technique and traditional Chilean folk music. The most pivotal moment came when Miguel discovered Argentine tango guitar—a versatile style that combined technical demands with collaborative performance opportunities. This passion ultimately led him to relocate to Buenos Aires, where he completed his musical education in traditional music programs.What makes Miguel's approach so valuable to students is his unique perspective on teaching. Rather than focusing solely on technique, Miguel views teaching as "accompanying someone's journey"—connecting with students' lives beyond just the musical aspects. His versatility across classical, folk, tango, and rock styles gives him a rare ability to help students find their own unique voice on the instrument. When he names his current influences—tango guitarist Hugo Rivas, acoustic player Jungle Rainhawk, and jazz innovator Julian Lash—we glimpse the eclectic musical mind that makes him such an effective instructor. Whether you're a beginner finding your way around open chords or an advanced player looking to explore new genres, Miguel's multicultural musical journey offers valuable insights for guitarists at any stage of development. Ready to expand your guitar horizons? Listen now and discover how Miguel's diverse experience might transform your playing.

En 2016, Geoffrey Cardozo a 66 ans. Désormais entièrement libre de ses mouvements, il se rend pour la première fois en Argentine. Son but est de rencontrer les familles des soldats inconnus et de convaincre les plus hésitantes de donner des échantillons d'ADN. A son retour en Europe, il est contacté par Morris Tidball-Binz, un médecin légiste qui se présente au nom de la Croix Rouge Internationale à Genève. Cardozo bondit de joie. L'organisation de la mission d'identification requiert beaucoup de compétence de de diplomatie. En juin 2017, elle est à pied d'œuvre. Cardozo la rejoint aux Malouines et 35 ans après la guerre, il retrouve « son » cimetière. Avec le docteur Morris Tidball-Binz, médecin légiste expert en identification sur les théâtres de guerre, chef de mission de la Croix-Rouge internationale. Une enquête d'Anne Brunswic en collaboration avec Yvan Amar.

Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, direction l'Argentine, où les crimes de la dictature peinent à être punis même si les anciens militaires ont été condamnés. En deuxième partie, direction le Brésil, où l'addiction aux paris en ligne est un véritable fléau qui endette bien souvent les familles les plus modestes. (Rediffusion) En Argentine, le démantèlement silencieux de la mémoire de la dictature En Argentine, les crimes de la dictature militaire continuent à hanter une partie de la société. Cela fait plus de 50 ans que ce régime a pris fin, mais tous les ans, de nouvelles familles, séparées de force à l'époque sont réunies… Et des anciens militaires sont condamnés. Or, ce travail de justice et de réparation est aujourd'hui entravé : le nouveau président Javier Milei coupe les budgets des centres d'archives et des associations de victimes. Sous couvert d'une réduction des dépenses publiques, c'est tout un travail de mémoire qui est menacé. Un Grand reportage de Théo Conscience qui s'entretient avec Sébastien Farcis.   Brésil: la fièvre des jeux en ligne 3 milliards d'euros, c'est ce que dépensent chaque mois les Brésiliens dans les paris en ligne, on commence par miser sur un score d'un match de football sur son téléphone et rapidement, ce jeu devient une drogue qui engloutit les économies des plus modestes et fait sombrer des familles entières dans la précarité. Pendant des années, le gouvernement brésilien a fermé les yeux sur ce fléau avant d'imposer enfin, cette année, une taxe sur ses plateformes de paris. Toutefois, rien n'est fait pour limiter les publicités omniprésentes et la population continue donc de s'endetter. Un Grand reportage de Sarah Cozzolino qui s'entretient avec Sébastien Farcis.

“They will never see their gold again, just as they do not see their own ears.”Josef StalinGold's strength is that its value exists in and of itself. It's nobody else's liability. Unlike money in the bank or a bond, it carries no promise from a third party, and its value is not dependent on the creditworthiness of any issuer or guarantor. Hand it to someone else and its value is transferred. It is a “bearer” asset, effectively owned by whoever has possession of it. For this reason gold has been the target of many a heist. Quickly resmelt it, and its provenance is very hard to prove.So there is one obvious problem with gold: that is keeping it safe. It's all very well having a pot of gold, but if somebody comes along and takes it from you, as Alexander did from the Persians, or the Conquistadors from the Incas, then you're left with nothing at all.When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, supported the Spanish Republican government. The Nazis supported their opponents, the revolutionary fascist forces led by General Franco. At the time Spanish gold reserves, some 635 tonnes, were the fourth largest in the world.Much of that treasure had been accumulated during WWI, when Spain had stayed neutral. Selling stuff to the British seems to have been the really big earner: 70% of Spanish gold holdings were British sovereigns.With Franco just 20 miles from the capital, the Republicans were on the verge of defeat. Never mind the fascists, there were also rumours that Catalan separatists had hatched plans to take the gold from Madrid to Barcelona. All that gold was at risk.Finance minister, Juan Negrín, and Prime Minister, Francisco Largo Caballero, leant on President Azaña to sign a secret decree to move the gold - some 10,000 cases - to a place “which in his [Negrín's] opinion offers the best security”. Azaña signed and the gold was moved, starting the next day, to Cartajena on the south coast, as far from Franco's armies as possible. The Spanish soldiers who transported the cases thought they were lifting munitions. A fifth of it was then shipped to Marseille where it was traded for French francs, which the Republicans used to fund their side of the war. The rest, 510 tonnes, would be sent to Joseph Stalin in Moscow for safekeeping.Even if Bolshevik sympathisers, what were Negrín and Caballero thinking? The Russians had already demonstrated that they had no qualms about seizing other people's gold. In 1916, the Romanian government sent its treasury of 91 tonnes of gold to Tsarist Russia for safekeeping, worried that it was vulnerable to the Axis powers when Romania had just joined WWI on the side of the Entente. Shortly afterwards, during the Great October Revolution, communists, led by Lenin, seized power, sequestered the gold and refused to give it back. Though small amounts were returned in 1935, 1956, and 2008, “as a gesture of goodwill”, the large majority was retained. As you can imagine, it has been something of a sore spot in diplomatic relations between the two nations ever since.It seems Negrín and Caballero did not know the story. In any case, Caballero actually wrote to Stalin asking if he would “agree to the deposit of approximately 500 tonnes of gold.” Two days later, he got a reply from the Soviet leader, not previously known for his prompt responses. No surprise: Stalin would be “glad” to take the gold.Buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times? The bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Alexander Orlov was the Russian agent in charge of transporting the booty. Negrín gave him fake documents to show he was an US official from the Bank of America, in case he should be stopped. Negrín, who, remember, was finance minister, had thought Bank of America was the US central bank. That would be the Federal Reserve. Russian agent Orlov didn't realise either. It's extraordinary.Four Russian ships came to Cartagena to collect the bounty, and the gold was loaded on. There was a discrepancy of 100 cases between Orlov and Spanish treasurer Mendez Aspe's number: Aspe said 7,800 cases, Orlov 7,900. Orlov said nothing. He reported the discrepancy to his superiors, who told him, “Do not worry about figures. Everything will be counted anew in Moscow. Do not mention your figure to anybody.” Aspe didn't even get a receipt off Orlov (who had been instructed not to give him one). “Don't worry, my friend,” said Orlov, “it will be issued by the State Bank of the Soviet Union, when everything is checked and weighed.” We will never know whether Orlov miscounted or whether those 100 boxes went missing.It took them three nights to load the four ships. The Russians then left Cartagena for Odessa in the Black Sea, escorted by the Spanish as far as Italy. From Odessa it was loaded onto a freight train bound for Moscow. "If all the boxes of gold that we piled up on the wharfs of Odessa were to be placed here side by side,” said one of the officials. “They would completely cover up the Red Square".When the gold arrived in Moscow, Stalin celebrated with a banquet at the Kremlin. “They will never see their gold again”, he laughed. “Just as they do not see their own ears.”The Spanish eventually got their receipt: for 5,619 standard cases and 126 damaged. Some distance below both Aspe and Orlov's figure. But three months later the Russians completed the audit, calculating that the shipments totalled 510 tonnes of gold coins and ingots, 90% pure, thus around 460 tonnes of pure gold. There were gold coins from across Europe and Latin America, especially those British sovereigns and Portuguese escudos, but also Spanish pesetas, French, Swiss and Belgian francs, German marks,, Russian rubles, Austrian schillings, Dutch guilders, and Mexican, Argentine and Chilean pesos. The numismatic value of the coins was higher than their gold content.The following year Spain met with a currency crisis. With exceptional chutzpah, even by the standards of politicians, Republicans blamed the inflation on the free market. Nothing to do with the absence of all that gold!Later, the Franco regime was happy to let the story of the "Moscow gold" stolen by Russia spread, as part of its anti-communist propaganda. And yet it appears sell orders from Negrín were actually carried out in 1937 and 1938, for which Spain received pounds, dollars and francs. Spain also received planes, tanks, machine guns, artillery, rifles, cartridges, food and fuel from Russia. The Soviets demanded some compensation for what they had sent during the war, but it's believed that aside from various expenses, the Soviets did not abuse their position and defraud the Spanish. Ultimately then, most of the gold went, one way or another, on the cost of the civil war. Such is the way with war. It is expensive.And just a couple or three years later, as Nazi forces advanced through Europe, the farce of transporting gold would be repeated many times over, and across the continent.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28. This is a public episode.

En Argentine, les crimes de la dictature militaire continuent à hanter une partie de la société. Cela fait plus de 50 ans que ce régime a pris fin, mais tous les ans, de nouvelles familles, séparées de force à l'époque sont réunies… Et des anciens militaires sont condamnés. Or, ce travail de justice et de réparation est aujourd'hui entravé : le nouveau président Javier Milei coupe les budgets des centres d'archives et des associations de victimes. Sous couvert d'une réduction des dépenses publiques, c'est tout un travail de mémoire qui est menacé.

60 Minutes reports on how the flight logs found in a plane in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered Argentina's notorious death flights during its dictatorship in the mid-1970s – serving as key evidence of the country's lethal scheme that “disappeared” thousands of innocent citizens whom they viewed as a threat.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has had a whirlwind week that blends music, business rumors, and plenty of social buzz. On Friday, he dropped “Tulum,” a vibrant norteño-pop single with Grupo Frontera, complete with a visually playful beachside video. The song is already generating serious attention in the Música Mexicana world as both Peso and Frontera's Adelaido Solis croon about bittersweet love and lost time, a collaboration that Rolling Stone called a “joint slay.” This release follows the momentum from Peso's recent album “Exodo,” which he has described in interviews as a significant leap in both his vocal and personal growth since his last project, “Genesis.”But it's not just his music setting headlines ablaze—Peso Pluma is now at the center of major sports-business speculation. According to beIN Sports and Marca, Peso Pluma is rumored to be a potential investor for Atlas de Guadalajara, one of Liga MX's storied football clubs, alongside boxing superstar Canelo Álvarez. The news exploded after Grupo Orlegi made official its intention to sell the club, with Peso's deep lifelong support for Atlas and his candid statements about loving the team adding fuel to the fire. While no formal offer has yet been made, local fans and the media are treating Peso and Canelo as the people's dream candidates to take the reins at Atlas and breathe life back into the club's connection with its passionate base. If these business moves materialize, the combination of cultural impact, celebrity, and local loyalty could mark a long-term turning point for both the team and Peso himself.On the personal front, Peso Pluma continues to attract tabloid attention. His former relationship with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole is again making waves, with outlets like People and The Independent revisiting her cryptic posts about “respect” and heartbreak after their breakup, which stemmed from sightings of Peso with another woman at a Vegas casino during the Super Bowl. While the pair has not been seen together since attending NBA and Grammy events earlier this year, the breakup chatter remains a sidebar to his main story.Meanwhile, Peso is plenty visible on social media. Fans have been buzzing on Instagram with calls for more collaborations, particularly with Ivan Cornejo, and Peso was spotted enjoying a yacht moment with Kenia Os, spurring playful dating rumors, though nothing substantiated. On the tech front, there's a nod to Peso Pluma as part of the wave of artists exploring direct fan engagement through SMS, per recent updates from SoundCloud.All told, Peso Pluma's star keeps rising, balancing hard-hitting new music, high-profile business rumors, and ever-present personal intrigue. The past week's headlines blend the promise of stadium anthems with the risk and reward of sports ownership, demonstrating just how far Peso's influence now extends—far beyond corridos, into the fabric of Mexican pop culture and business.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Les trois-quarts de la commune seraient sous le contrôle des gangs criminels, ce qui fait fuir la population et empêche les agriculteurs de travailler. Reportage.  Depuis le début de l'année, les gangs armés multiplient leurs attaques contre la commune de Kenscoff, ce qui a fait fuir plus de 30 000 personnes, confie le maire de la ville, Jean Massillon, à notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama.  Cette violence a aussi perturbé toute la production agricole, et cela menace donc l'alimentation de la région. « Les gangs armés ont forcé les paysans et les agriculteurs à fuir. Ils ont pris leurs animaux, incendié leurs maisons, et leur ont fait perdre tout ce qu'ils possédaient. C'est la première fois dans toute l'histoire de cette ville que des habitants se plaignent de faim », témoigne le coordinateur de la plateforme nationale des paysans haïtiens. Jean-Louis Durant. Le reportage complet de Peterson Luxama.   Au Chili, un sommet pour protéger les droits des citoyens face aux abus des nouvelles technologies. Les présidents et chefs de gouvernement du Chili, du Brésil, de la Colombie, de l'Uruguay et de l'Espagne se réunissent pour le sommet « Democracy Forever », qui vise à lancer un mouvement citoyen de protection contre la domination des entreprises des nouvelles technologies et leurs influences politiques lors d'élections, entre autres. « L'Amérique latine et le Brésil, particulièrement, prennent de plus en plus une position pour la régulation des réseaux sociaux », explique Nicole Sanchotene, postdoctorante et chercheuse au NetLab, laboratoire sur internet et les réseaux sociaux de l'Université fédérale de Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), interrogée par Henrique Valadarès. Et le sommet à Santiago est l'image d'« un effort collectif et un effort d'interaction, palpable notamment au Brésil, mais aussi en Argentine et au Chili ». « Le Brésil peut être un leader de ce mouvement », analyse-t-elle en avançant comme guise d'exemple « le dernier vote de la Cour suprême : c'est une page très importante qui a été tournée. On a vraiment avancé vers la responsabilisation des plateformes. » Face à cela, une étude montre les limites de l'intelligence artificielle : « l'intelligence artificielle ne parle pas maya», dénonce le quotidien El Pais. Son correspondant au Mexique révèle une étude qui vient de paraitre, sur l'aisance de l'IA dans six grandes langues amérindiennes: le quechua, le quiché, le maya, le guarani, le nahuatl et l'aymara. Chacune d'entre elles a plusieurs millions de locuteurs, mais l'IA semble les délaisser. Au mieux, elle les baragouine. «Seulement la moitié des réponses aux questions posées dans ces langues sont correctes, et encore, très courtes et basiques», explique le quotidien. Il existe aussi un biais culturel. «Les réponses font référence au contexte occidental, même quand les questions sont posées dans les langues autochtones». Cette lacune viendrait-elle du fait que ces langues seraient peu importantes ? Alors pourquoi l'IA parle bien plus couramment le basque, qui compte moins d'un million de locuteurs ? Un biais de l'occident, encore une fois... Pourtant, les enjeux peuvent être vitaux, conclut El Pais : un meilleur accès de l'IA peut permettre de développer la télémédecine dans ces communautés, comme chez les Quechuas, où le taux de mortalité infantile est de 44 pour 1000 naissances. L'IA, bien utilisée, pourrait aussi sauver des vies. La guerre entre Harvard et l'administration Trump arrive au tribunal Après des années d'affrontements, le procès s'ouvre ce lundi. Harvard accuse l'administration de violer ses droits constitutionnels en coupant environ 2 milliards de dollars de financement fédéral. Un sujet éminemment politique : le Washington Post  publie une grande frise historique de cette confrontation, et rappelle ainsi que Donald Trump en a fait un argument de campagne, depuis son discours de juillet 2023, dans lequel il promet de lutter contre «la gauche radicale» et lance une guerre totale contre «les maniaques et lunatiques», afin de «reconquérir» les universités comme Harvard. Mais c'est la radio publique NPR qui donne à entendre ce qui est en jeu ces jours ci : NPR publie un reportage où on entend Kari Nadeau, médecin et professeure d'Harvard, qui mène une étude clinique de sept ans pour réduire les allergies mortelles chez les enfants. Une recherche totalement suspendue aujourd'hui. «C'est une perte pour toutes les équipes», témoigne cette professeure, «mais nous sommes encore plus inquiets pour les patients en cours d'essais cliniques». «Ces enfants avaient commencé un traitement, l'arrêter les met en danger mortel», alerte la médecin sur NPR. En espérant que ces voix et ces histoires humaines soient entendues par les juges de Boston.   Dans le sud des États-Unis, la crainte après l'extension d'un centre de migrants En Géorgie, les autorités ont validé le mois dernier l'agrandissement du centre de Folkson. Il triplera de capacités, pour arriver à 3 000 places, ce qui en ferait le plus important du pays. Mais des organisations de défense des droits s'y opposent, notamment en raison des enjeux de santé... Reportage d'Edward Maille.   Le plus grand narcotrafiquant équatorien est arrivé aux États-Unis « Hasta nunca, Fito », titre le quotidien équatorien Espresso, en reprenant les mots du président, « À jamais ! ». Daniel Noboa se réjouit ainsi de l'extradition réussie de Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias «Fito», décrit comme le criminel le plus dangereux d'Équateur. Fito doit être présenté ce lundi à un juge de New York, qui l'informera des sept charges retenues contre lui, et entre autres du trafic de près de quatre tonnes de cocaïne vers les États-Unis. Le quotidien équatorien El Universo rappelle que l'une des conditions pour cette extradition est que ce trafiquant supposé ne soit pas condamné à la peine de mort, qui a été abolie en Équateur depuis plus d'un siècle.   Au Venezuela, on célèbre le retour de migrants expulsés des États-Unis Ils avaient été les premières victimes de la répression de Donald Trump, et envoyés sans procès au Salvador. 252 Vénezuéliens, accusés par Washington d'être des criminels, sont rentrés ce week-end, grâce à un échange à trois bandes : le Salvador, où ils se trouvaient, libère les Vénézuéliens, le Venezuela libère dix citoyens américains, dont un Franco- Américain. À Caracas, la télévision Telesur célèbre l'arrivée des ex-détenus, par un dessin où l'on voit des hommes broyés, sous le drapeau américain, qui se relèvent, fiers, en retrouvant leur patrie. Ce qui n'est pas indiqué dans les médias de ce pays au gouvernement autoritaire, et que détaille la BBC en espagnol), c'est que cet accord a aussi forcé Caracas à libérer plus d'une dizaine de prisonniers politiques, enfermés pour s'être opposés au gouvernement de Maduro.

This week Sam, English Dan, Andrés and Santi S meet to review the first round of action in the 2025 Torneo Clausura, which saw champions Platense concede three times in one game for the first time this year, not one but two injury-time winners (sort of) in the Cilindro and a less brilliant than anticipated clash of the Juniors as Argentinos and Boca ground out a stalemate.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History episodes, all with an Argentine theme. We find out more about the 1985 ‘trial of the juntas' when the country's former military leaders stood accused of torturing and murdering thousands of their own people. And we hear from historian Dr Victoria Basualdo about life in Argentina, both before and after the trial.Also, the story of the grandmothers who championed the study of genetics to find their missing loved ones. And why tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Buenos Aires in 2015. Plus, the bizarre story of Eva Peron's disappearing corpse. And finally, more on the Argentine animator who Walt Disney wanted to hire.Contributors: Luis Moreno Ocampo - prosecutor Dr Victoria Basualdo – historian, FLACSO, the Latín American School of Social Sciences Dr Victor Penchaszadeh – geneticist Agustina Paz Frontera – journalist and writer Domingo Tellechea – art restorer and embalmer Hector Cristiani – grandson of Quirino Cristiani(Photo: Forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow giving testimony to the trial, 1985.

John Kerry Admits “Trump Was Right” on Border Policy Former Secretary of State John Kerry shocked Democrats by telling the BBC that his party was wrong to allow the southern border to be "under siege" under President Biden.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Citizenship Order for Babies of Illegal Aliens A New Hampshire judge issued a nationwide injunction on Trump's executive order denying citizenship to foreign babies born in the U.S. The White House called it an unlawful workaround of the Supreme Court's recent ruling, while some argue it may force the Court to address the issue head-on.

Pentagon Buys $400M Stake in Rare Earths Firm to Break China's Grip The U.S. Department of Defense is investing in MP Materials to boost domestic production of rare earth magnets.

U.S. Army Quadruples Order for Patriot Missile Interceptors The Army increases its planned order from 3,000 to 14,000 Patriot interceptors due to active deployments in Israel, Ukraine, and the Pacific. However, the U.S. still depends heavily on China for critical minerals used in production. AI Pushes Students Back to Blue Books as Brainpower Declines Schools across the U.S. are returning to handwritten Blue Books as teachers combat AI-assisted cheating. MIT research shows students using AI had lower brain activity and memory retention. Bryan says this is a win for education—and a warning about overreliance on technology. Israel Confirms Trump's Iran Strike Buried Uranium Stockpiles Israeli intelligence reports with high confidence that Operation Midnight Hammer entombed Iran's enriched uranium at key nuclear sites. Only Isfahan may be partially recoverable, and confirmation from on-ground sources is pending. U.S. Bans Mexican Beef Imports as Screwworm Threat Nears Border Trump shuts down Mexican cattle imports due to the spread of flesh-eating screwworms, which now sit just 370 miles from the U.S. border. The parasite has spread northward through illegal migration and cartel-driven cattle movements. Argentina's “Milei Miracle” Gains U.S. Tariff Support Capitalist President Javier Milei revives Argentina's economy with deregulation and deep spending cuts.

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Key Takeaways: Bitcoin as a Digital Safe Haven: Bitcoin has a potential future safe haven asset, similar to how the S&P 500 functions today—only within the digital, decentralized realm of cyberspace. Currency as a Language: Understanding currency is crucial for investors. Just as mastering a language enhances communication, financial literacy empowers more strategic and informed investment decisions. S&P 500 vs. Weak Currencies: The S&P 500's historical strength—especially when compared to volatile currencies like the Argentine peso—highlights its role as a reliable benchmark and wealth-preserving vehicle. Wealth Preservation Strategies: The wealthy often treat stable financial instruments like the S&P 500 as long-term “savings accounts,” using them to maintain and grow wealth in uncertain economic environments Blockchain and Capital Flow: Looking ahead, blockchain-based assets—especially Bitcoin—are likely to attract significant global capital as trust in traditional systems erodes and decentralized finance gains traction.

“Poetry is the prince of the literary arts to me. It's at the very top because it's language refined to its apex of memorability. I am interested in poetry as memorability and poetry as something you live by. These are the words you live by. These words stay in your brain and guide your life. That's what I am interested in. My memoir slash autofiction is called Borges and Me, and as you know, it's a story of my time in 1970 when my best friend Billy was drafted for the Vietnam War, and so was I. He went to Vietnam, and I went to Scotland to hide out and do my graduate work. I spent nearly seven years in Scotland, but I certainly spent the next five years definitely in Scotland. I was there before as an undergraduate for a bit, too. During that time, Billy was killed in Vietnam, and I was a nervous wreck. My memoir talks about my depression, my anxieties, and then, through my friend Alastair Reid, I met Borges, the great Argentine writer. We went on a little road trip through the Highlands, and this conversation with Borges really restored me back to myself and what was important in life. I felt that I owed a huge amount to that contact with Borges… I was lucky that suddenly, out of nowhere, came a wonderful director-producer named Mark Turtletaub. He had read my book and loved it, and he approached me. We had a conversation, and he said, ‘Look, I want to make this movie.' So off we went.”It's a real pleasure today to welcome a writer whose voice has been a guiding force in American letters for decades. Jay Pariniis the author of acclaimed biographies of literary giants like John Steinbeck, Robert Frost, William Faulkner, and Gore Vidal—as well as an illuminating portrait of Jesus in The Human Face of God. He's also a celebrated poet, novelist, essayist, and teacher whose work reflects a lifelong devotion to the arts, the humanities, and the power of language to tell the truth, gently. From his poetry to his prose, Jay's writing brings rare insight and deep compassion to the page. He doesn't just study his subjects—he inhabits them, helps us hear their voices, and see the world through their eyes. And of course, he's one of the few people who can say they've gotten into the heads of both Jesus and Gore Vidal...and lived to tell the tale.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins presents two riveting conversations that push boundaries and challenge cultural taboos. First, she interviews Michael Taylor Jackson, writer, director, and star of the radically inventive film Orange Underground (Bajo Naranja), a satirical, punk-infused narrative born out of the Argentine quarantine. Then, she speaks with Kate Downey, creator and host of the podcast CRAMPED, which explores the hidden pain and social invisibility surrounding menstruation. Together, these conversations highlight how bold, personal storytelling can become an act of protest and empowerment. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... How Orange Underground merges satire, street art, and protest cinema to confront U.S. neocolonialism The creative process of blending real-life social media storytelling with scripted filmmaking How Argentina's unique film funding system and underground economy supported an international indie film Kate Downey's journey from theater to podcasting, and how CRAMPED sheds light on the mystery of period pain Why menstruation remains a cultural and cinematic taboo, and how media can normalize it through better representation The power of representation in shaping societal understanding of women's health and lived experiences Memorable Quotes: “We were able to develop a virtual community because we couldn't obviously live together.” “When half the population experiences something regularly, shouldn't they be reflected honestly in our storytelling?” “There is no word other than an ignorant word to describe ourselves.” “Is there any more common experience that has not been hit to death, right?” Guests: Michael Taylor Jackson Kate Downey Resources: Bajo Naranja on Instagram CRAMPED: Why Doesn't Media Talk About Period Pain?

After falling in love with the gelato shops of Buenos Aires, Josh Hochschuler came home to Dallas with a bold idea: bring authentic Argentine gelato to the U.S. He raised $600,000 from friends and family and opened a gelato shop called Talenti. The product was a hit - but the retail model wasn't. Faced with mounting losses, Josh shut down the store and moved into a warehouse to pivot to wholesale. With time, tenacity, and a now-iconic clear jar, Talenti became a national sensation, and in 2014, was acquired by Unilever. Today, it's the best-selling gelato brand in America.This episode was produced by Casey Herman and edited by Kevin Leahy, with research by Kerry Thompson and music by Ramtin Arablouei.
