Fernando Bonardi is currently working as a family office advisor from his base in Buenos Aires. He formerly was head of BNY Mellon Investment Management in Santiago, Chile for 17 years, and prior to that held a series of financial roles. With a career that has spanned decades, Fernando has worked through many different cycles in Argentinian market history, and we discuss the evolution of his career adaptations he had to make – such as relocating to work from Chile for a number of years, when the bank he was working with pulled out of Argentina. We then explore the current climate in Argentina, and reflect on the adjustments that the population has had to make. We discuss persistent inflation and other economic crises, and how this led to a breach of trust and drove savings overseas. We examine the psychological impact of a lack of trust and ongoing uncertainty, and ask whether it instills a resilience, agility and an ability to move quickly in a population.Turning then to the current election cycle, Fernando lays the groundwork for some cautious optimism, but recognizes that the situation is and continues to be fluid.We recorded this podcast prior to the September 8 elections in Buenos Aires which delivered a blow to President Milei's party.

Over the last few years, we've had the utmost pleasure in highlighting an incredible music scene rooted across the ocean in Barcelona. Like the living, breathing entity that it is, the tendrils reach far and wide, connecting artists, and music lovers from around the world. Deep, rhythmic, pulsing low ends, frenetic half-time snares. Spiraling melodies and hypnotic elements all combine into an incredible mixture that gives life to all. At the heart of this thriving community and our focus for today is one of its musical stewards, Patrick Russell. A pure professional, always providing discerning sets from behind the decks, today we listen to him in a different fashion as he provides a rare remix that embodies these sounds and times. Forth-coming on Argentinian label Danza Nativa, Ancient Apparition is a four tracker by co-founder Kyntral that oozes rich bass lines and snappy percussion. Each song unfolds ever so smoothly, stretching its muscles and taking up space. Patrick Russell's ‘Phantom' remix of the title track moves us down a darker path, with horn-like synths and undulating bass lines that give tension and an energetic kick, a taste of what is to come later… Ancient Apparition will be out on September 29th, both on digital and vinyl. @kyntral @ptrckrssll Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

This week on the KOKO Show the lads get down and dirty with their ‘ra ra' previews this week, as they wine, dine and come off the pine for the upcoming third round of The ‘RC'. With all four nations sitting on one win each, this year's ‘RC' is as tight as a mouse's waistcoat and it is anyone's for the taking. Thus, to summarize the upcoming weekend of footy frivolities, the Wallabies are in their “Building phase” and taking on Los Pumas who are in their “Record Breaking Phase”. Whilst those crafty Springboks are in their “no longer world number 1 phase” and are hoping to break an 88-year hoodoo at Eden Park against the All Blacks who are in their “our local community hates us again” phase, so as the classics say, rugby will be the real winner. Moreover, the fellas once again set alight their competitive spirits as they ‘mano a mano a mano' in an Argentinian flavoured KOKO Quiz. Plus, we are joined by Wallaroos enforcer, lineout specialist, veterinary physio and most importantly the latest member to join the 40 cap club, the one and only Vi-queen Michaela Leonard. The lads with Michaela in tow unpacked all the happenings from the Women's RWC in England, focussing on the Wallaroos' draw with the USA and what the girls have to do against England to clinch that last finals spot. With the whole nation at their backs the Wallaroos have highlighted that a fast start, brutal defence and quietening the crowd is the secret sauce needed to take down the world number one English Roses on their own turf. So rise up Australia and get behind the Wallaroos as they fight for the final spot in the quarter-finals this weekend.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has been making headlines on several fronts these past few days. Earlier this week, he was the surprise guest at Kali Uchis's “Sincerely” tour stop at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, an appearance that immediately sent shockwaves through social media circles and Latin music outlets. The surprise onstage collaboration, amid three sold-out nights in L.A., was all anyone could talk about, with fans flooding X and Instagram, wishing they could have witnessed the electrifying performance firsthand, as reported by Sportskeeda and fan coverage on Pop Crave. This high-profile appearance in Los Angeles capped a remarkable streak for Peso, whose new blend of traditional corridos and modern Latin hip-hop has made him arguably the new king of Mexican music, as profiled in Esquire on August 21.Just days before that, Peso sold out two back-to-back shows at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, a testament to his crossover power and connection with a new generation of listeners. LAist documented the sea of fans who came dressed to impress, underscoring how Peso Pluma's regional Mexican sound is now shaping pop culture in Los Angeles and beyond. Fans told LAist they feel his meteoric rise shows that Mexican talent can headline and sell out major U.S. venues, potentially opening doors for other Latin artists of his generation. His most recent album, “Génesis,” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200—a signal that his cultural footprint is only expanding.Meanwhile, Peso remains the subject of nonstop conversation in celebrity gossip columns. The ongoing fascination with his romantic life resurfaced again after his ex-girlfriend, Argentinian singer Nicki Nicole, confirmed her relationship with Barcelona soccer star Lamine Yamal. This news, covered by Hola Magazine and People, followed weeks of speculation fueled by social media photos of Nicole and Yamal. Peso Pluma, for his part, has been linked in recent months to Mexican singer Kenia Os—though, as always, neither party has commented officially, leaving rumors swirling. There were prior reports in People Magazine about his brief relationships with social media star Hannah Howell and speculation over a possible link to pop superstar Anitta, though these stories mostly live in the realm of fan curiosity and tabloid rumor.On the fashion and fan side, Peso's look was enough to inspire a celebrity lookalike contest this past weekend at Echo Park Lake in LA, drawing dozens of impersonators eager to nail his style and stage presence, according to LAist's live event coverage. And as always, Peso stirs up envy and admiration with his outfits—his rose gold jewelry and high fashion at the 2025 Grammys recently got a throwback spotlight on Instagram from celebwatchspotter.With a new album in the works and interviews hinting at deeper reflections on culture and community, like his recent Esquire profile, Peso Pluma appears ready to keep pushing boundaries. According to him, nobody knows what to expect—he's asking fans for patience and promising that whatever comes next will be worth the wait. The chorus online makes one thing clear: musically, stylistically, and socially, Peso Pluma continues to be at the center of the cultural conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has spent the past week both cementing his status as a musical icon and landing in the public eye for reasons beyond his rapid chart success. Notably, he was the surprise guest at Kali Uchis's Kia Forum show in Los Angeles on August 21, turning her North American arena tour highlight into a social media sensation as fans flooded platforms with excitement for their electric joint performance. The tour, dubbed The Sincerely Tour, has been making waves and Peso's appearance there further confirms his genre-straddling appeal with both fans and critics expressing envy at missing the sold-out Los Angeles dates, as reported by Sportskeeda and PopCrave.On the business side, Peso Pluma's career faced indirect turbulence when music executive Ángel del Villar, a pivotal figure in his early development, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for money laundering. Digital Music News revealed Del Villar's involvement with concert promoters sanctioned for cartel money laundering, casting a shadow over the regional Mexican scene but not directly implicating Peso Pluma in the case.Musically, this week saw Peso Pluma's creative and industry recognition soar. He picked up five nominations for the 2025 Premios Juventud awards, placing him among the year's top Latin hitmakers as per the Los Angeles Times. The ceremony has expanded with new categories reflecting shifting musical trends and will take place for the first time outside the United States, signifying Peso's rise in an ever-globalizing market.Peso Pluma also reconnected musically with Argentine rapper Duki and streetwear mogul Nigo for the single and music video Alley Oop, depicting the duo in lowrider scenes and signaling cross-border collaborations likely to reshape Latin urban music, according to RollingStone and IMDb News.On the personal front, relationship drama dominated headlines after Argentinian singer Nicki Nicole hinted at a split on Instagram, just days following their joint Grammy appearance and sightings together at Grammys and NBA events. Her emotional posts, widely paralleled by fan reactions, were sparked by videos of Peso Pluma reportedly holding hands with another woman during Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas. The breakup has been covered by People and AOL News and has further amplified the narrative of Peso as both an artist and a tabloid fixture.An Esquire interview published August 21 captured Peso Pluma in a reflective mood, working on new music and discussing lessons learned from fame and current sociopolitical issues, especially border tensions. He advised fans to be patient and promised that his evolving sound would soon address unity and culture—fueling speculation about his forthcoming album.Social media continues to buzz about Peso Pluma, from concert footage to fan selfies, with recurring themes about his influence on corridos, Latin pop, and even fashion—his image at events and collaborations draws continuous coverage from outlets like Hispanxs and Instagram reels.Speculation is swirling about the themes and collaborators for his next album due to these public appearances and introspective interviews, but nothing beyond his remarks about unity and cultural learning has been confirmed. Peso Pluma remains at the center of changing Latin music narratives, his every move watched and debated by a rapidly growing audience.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

This week Sam, English Dan and Andrés unpack the scenes in Avellaneda on Wednesday night, which saw the second half of Independiente v Universidad de Chile in the Copa Sudamericana abandoned after violence from both barra bravas in the stands.

Cavemen. Dinosaurs. Lasers. Robots. A mysterious medallion. A talking box. Choice meats! And oh that theme song. This barely begins to dip into the brain-bending fountain of wonders that is YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE. Javi, Paul and - intrepidly - Producer Brad have ventured to Yor's World and returned forever changed by this Italian adaptation of an Argentinian graphic novel that was distilled from a four-hour television mini-series, and is criminally unavailable on any streaming service or for digital rental or purchase. But they would not be denied (thank you Internet Archive), even though it required Javi to heed the film's counsel (“We will need a lot more hemp before we're through.”), while Paul Plot was sent into a fugue state. Because while we're all well-versed in spaghetti Westerns, this is a spaghetti fantasy that takes a stunning turn into spaghetti sci-fi, and somehow blurs the lines between bad and great, and stupid and genius — rendering this week's episode an absolute fever dream.

"Our duty as Jewish youth is paving the way for ourselves. Sometimes we may feel alone . . . But the most important thing is for us as youth to pave the way for ourselves, to take action, to speak out. Even if it's hard or difficult.” As American Jewish college students head back to their campuses this fall, we talk to three leaders on AJC's Campus Global Board about how antisemitism before and after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks revealed their resilience and ignited the activist inside each of them. Jonathan Iadarola shares how a traumatic anti-Israel incident at University of Adelaide in Australia led him to secure a safe space on campus for Jewish students to convene. Ivan Stern recalls launching the Argentinian Union of Jewish Students after October 7, and Lauren Eckstein shares how instead of withdrawing from her California college and returning home to Arizona, she transferred to Washington University in St. Louis where she found opportunities she never dreamed existed and a supportive Jewish community miles from home.  *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

Transcript of the Interview: MANYA: As American Jewish college students head back to their campuses this fall, it's hard to know what to expect. Since the Hamas terror attacks of October 7, maintaining a GPA has been the least of their worries. For some who attend universities that allowed anti-Israel protesters to vandalize hostage signs or set up encampments, fears still linger.  We wanted to hear from college students how they're feeling about this school year. But instead of limiting ourselves to American campuses, we asked three students from AJC's Campus Global Board – from America, Argentina, and Australia – that's right, we still aim for straight A's here. We asked them to share their experiences so far and what they anticipate this year. We'll start on the other side of the world in Australia. With us now is Jonathan Iadarola, a third-year student at the University of Adelaide in Adelaide, Australia, the land down under, where everything is flipped, and they are getting ready to wrap up their school year in November.  Jonathan serves as president of the South Australia branch of the Australian Union of Jewish students and on AJC's Campus Global Board. Jonathan, welcome to People of the Pod. JONATHAN: Thank you for having me. MANYA: So tell us what your experience has been as a Jewish college student in Australia, both before October 7 and after. JONATHAN: So at my university, we have a student magazine, and there was a really awful article in the magazine that a student editor wrote, very critical of Israel, obviously not very nice words. And it sort of ended with like it ended with Death to Israel, glory to the Intifada. Inshallah, it will be merciless. So it was very, very traumatic, obviously, like, just the side note, my great aunt actually died in the Second Intifada in a bus bombing. So it was just like for me, a very personal like, whoa. This is like crazy that someone on my campus wrote this and genuinely believes what they wrote. So yeah, through that experience, I obviously, I obviously spoke up. That's kind of how my activism on campus started. I spoke up against this incident, and I brought it to the university. I brought it to the student editing team, and they stood their ground. They tried to say that this is free speech. This is totally okay. It's completely like normal, normal dialog, which I completely disagreed with.  And yeah, they really pushed back on it for a really long time. And it just got more traumatic with myself and many other students having to go to meetings in person with this student editor at like a student representative council, which is like the students that are actually voted in. Like student government in the United States, like a student body that's voted in by the students to represent us to the university administration.  And though that student government actually laughed in our faces in the meeting while we were telling them that this sort of incident makes us as Jewish students feel unsafe on campus. And we completely were traumatized. Completely, I would say, shattered, any illusion that Jewish students could feel safe on campus. And yeah, that was sort of the beginning of my university journey, which was not great. MANYA: Wow. And that was in 2022, before October 7. So after the terror attacks was when most college campuses here in America really erupted. Had the climate at the University of Adelaide improved by then, or did your experience continue to spiral downward until it was addressed? JONATHAN: It's kind of remained stagnant, I would say. The levels haven't really improved or gotten worse. I would say the only exception was maybe in May 2024, when the encampments started popping up across the world. Obviously it came, came to my city as well. And it wasn't very, it wasn't very great. There was definitely a large presence on my campus in the encampment.  And they were, they were more peaceful than, I would say, other encampments across Australia and obviously in the United States as well. But it was definitely not pleasant for students to, you know, be on campus and constantly see that in their faces and protesting. They would often come into people's classrooms as well. Sharing everything that they would like to say. You couldn't really escape it when you were on campus. MANYA: So how did you find refuge? Was there a community center or safe space on campus? Were there people who took you in?    JONATHAN: So I'm the president of the Jewish Student Society on my campus. One of the things that I really pushed for when the encampments came to my city was to have a Jewish space on campus. It was something that my university never had, and thankfully, we were able to push and they were like ‘Yes, you know what? This is the right time. We definitely agree.' So we actually now have our own, like, big Jewish room on campus, and we still have it to this day, which is amazing.  So it's great to go to when, whether we feel uncomfortable on campus, or whether we just want a place, you know, to feel proud in our Jewish identity. And there's often events in the room. There's like, a Beers and Bagels, or we can have beer here at 18, so it's OK for us. And there's also, yeah, there's bagels. Then we also do Shabbat dinners. Obviously, there's still other stuff happening on campus that's not as nice, but it's great that we now have a place to go when we feel like we need a place to be proud Jews. MANYA: You mentioned that this was the start of your Jewish activism. So, can you tell us a little bit about your Jewish upbringing and really how your college experience has shifted your Jewish involvement, just activity in general? JONATHAN: Yeah, that's a great question. So I actually grew up in Adelaide. This is my home. I was originally born in Israel to an Israeli mother, but we moved, I was two years old when we moved to Adelaide. There was a Jewish school when I grew up. So I did attend the Jewish school until grade five, and then, unfortunately, it did close due to low numbers. And so I had to move to the public school system.  And from that point, I was very involved in the Jewish community through my youth. And then there was a point once the Jewish school closed down where I kind of maybe slightly fell out. I was obviously still involved, but not to the same extent as I was when I was younger. And then I would say the first place I got kind of reintroduced was once I went to college and obviously met other Jewish students, and then it made me want to get back in, back, involved in the community, to a higher level than I had been since primary school.  And yeah, then obviously, these incidents happened on campus, and that kind of, I guess, it shoved me into the spotlight unintentionally, where I felt like no one else was saying anything. I started just speaking up against this. And then obviously, I think many other Jews on campus saw this, and were like: ‘Hang on. We want to also support this and, like, speak out against it.' and we kind of formed a bit of a group on campus, and that's how the club actually was formed as well.  So the club didn't exist prior to this incident. It kind of came out of it, which is, I guess, the beautiful thing, but also kind of a sad thing that we only seem to find each other in incidences of, you know, sadness and trauma. But the beautiful thing is that from that, we have been able to create a really nice, small community on campus for Jewish students.  So yeah, that's sort of how my journey started. And then through that, I got involved with the Australsian Union of Jewish Students, which is the Jewish Student Union that represents Jewish students all across Australia and New Zealand. And I started the South Australian branch, which is the state that Adelaide is in.  And I've been the president for the last three years. So that's sort of been my journey. And obviously through that, I've gotten involved with American Jewish Committee.  MANYA: So you're not just fighting antisemitism, these communities and groups that you're forming are doing some really beautiful things.  JONATHAN: Obviously, I really want to ensure that Jewish student life can continue to thrive in my city, but also across Australia. And one way that we've really wanted to do that is to help create essentially, a national Shabbaton. An event where Jewish students from all across the country, come to one place for a weekend, and we're all together having a Shabbat dinner together, learning different educational programs, hearing from different amazing speakers, and just being with each other in our Jewish identity, very proud and united. It's one of, I think, my most proud accomplishments so far, through my college journey, that I've been able to, you know, create this event and make it happen.  MANYA: And is there anything that you would like to accomplish Jewishly before you finish your college career? JONATHAN: There's a couple things. The big thing for me is ensuring, I want there to continue to be a place on campus for people to go and feel proud in their Jewish identity. I think having a Jewish space is really important, and it's something that I didn't have when I started my college journey. So I'm very glad that that's in place for future generations.  For most of my college journey so far, we didn't have even a definition at my university for antisemitism. So if you don't have a definition, how are you going to be able to define what is and what isn't antisemitic and actually combat it? So now, thankfully, they do have a definition. I don't know exactly if it's been fully implemented yet, but I know that they have agreed to a definition, and it's a mix of IHRA and the Jerusalem Declaration, I believe, so it's kind of a mix. But I think as a community, we're reasonably happy with it, because now they actually have something to use, rather than not having anything at all.  And yeah, I think those are probably the two main things for me, obviously, ensuring that there's that processes at the university moving forward for Jewish students to feel safe to report when there are incidents on campus. And then ensuring that there's a place for Jewish students to continue to feel proud in their Jewish identity and continue to share that and live that while they are studying at the university.  MANYA: Well, Jonathan, thank you so much for joining us, and enjoy your holiday. JONATHAN: Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.  MANYA: Now we turn to Argentina, Buenos Aires to be exact, to talk to Ivan Stern, the first Argentine and first Latin American to serve on AJC's Campus Global Board. A student at La Universidad Nacional de San Martin, Ivan just returned to classes last week after a brief winter break down there in the Southern Hemisphere.  What is Jewish life like there on that campus? Are there organizations for Jewish students?  IVAN: So I like to compare Jewish life in Buenos Aires like Jewish life in New York or in Paris or in Madrid. We are a huge city with a huge Jewish community where you can feel the Jewish sense, the Jewish values, the synagogues everywhere in the street. When regarding to college campuses, we do not have Jewish institutions or Jewish clubs or Jewish anything in our campuses that advocate for Jewish life or for Jewish students.  We don't actually need them, because the Jewish community is well established and respected in Argentina. Since our terrorist attacks of the 90s, we are more respected, and we have a strong weight in all the decisions. So there's no specific institution that works for Jewish life on campus until October 7 that we gathered a student, a student led organization, a student led group.  We are now part of a system that it's created, and it exists in other parts of the world, but now we are start to strengthening their programming and activities in Argentina we are we now have the Argentinian union with Jewish students that was born in October 7, and now we represent over 150 Jewish students in more than 10 universities. We are growing, but we are doing Shabbat talks in different campuses for Jewish students. We are bringing Holocaust survivors to universities to speak with administrations and with student cabinets that are not Jewish, and to learn and to build bridges of cooperation, of course, after October 7, which is really important. So we are in the middle of this work. We don't have a strong Hillel in campuses or like in the US, but we have Jewish students everywhere. We are trying to make this grow, to try to connect every student with other students in other universities and within the same university. And we are, yeah, we are work in progress. MANYA: Listeners just heard from your Campus Global Board colleague Jonathan Iadarola from Adelaide, Australia, and he spoke about securing the first  space for Jewish students on campus at the University of Adelaide. Does that exist at your university? Do you have a safe space?  So Hillel exists in Buenos Aires and in Cordoba, which Cordova is another province of Argentina. It's a really old, nice house in the middle of a really nice neighborhood in Buenos Aires. So also in Argentina another thing that it's not like in the U.S., we don't live on campuses, so we come and go every day from our houses to the to the classes. So that's why sometimes it's possible for us to, after classes, go to Hillel or or go to elsewhere. And the Argentinian Union, it's our job to represent politically to the Jewish youth on campus. To make these bridges of cooperation with non-Jewish actors of different college campuses and institutions, as I mentioned before, we bring Holocaust survivors, we place banners, we organize rallies. We go to talk with administrators. We erase pro- Palestinian paints on the wall. We do that kind of stuff, building bridges, making programs for Jewish youth. We also do it, but it's not our main goal. MANYA: So really, it's an advocacy organization, much like AJC. IVAN: It's an advocacy organization, and we are really, really, really happy to work alongside with the AJC more than once to strengthen  our goals. MANYA: October 7 was painful for all of us, what happened on university campuses there in Argentina that prompted the need for a union? So the impact of October 7 in Argentina wasn't nearly as strong as in other parts of the world, and definitely nothing like what's been happening on U.S. campuses. Maybe that's because October here is finals season, and our students were more focused on passing their classes than reacting to what was happening on the Middle East, but there were attempts of engagements, rallies, class disruptions and intimidations, just like in other places. That's why we focused on speaking up, taking action. So here it's not happening. What's happening in the U.S., which was really scary, and it's still really scary, but something was happening, and we needed to react. There wasn't a Jewish institution advocating for Jewish youth on campus, directly, getting to know what Jewish students were facing, directly, lively walking through the through the hallways, through the campus, through the campuses. So that's why we organize this student-led gathering, different students from different universities, universities. We need to do something. At the beginning, this institution was just on Instagram. It was named the institutions, and then for Israel, like my university acronym, it's unsam Universidad national, San Martin unsam. So it was unsam for Israel. So we, so we posted, like every campaign we were doing in our campuses, and then the same thing happened in other university and in other universities. So now we, we gathered everyone, and now we are the Argentinian Union of Jewish students.  But on top of that, in November 2023 students went on summer break until March 2024 so while the topic was extremely heated elsewhere here, the focus had shifted on other things. The new national government was taking office, which had everyone talking more about their policies than about Israel.  So now the issue is starting to resurface because of the latest news from Gaza, So we will go where it goes from here, but the weight of the community here, it's, as I said, really strong. So we have the ability to speak up.  MANYA: What kinds of conversations have you had with university administrators directly after. October 7, and then now, I mean, are you, are you communicating with them? Do you have an open channel of communication? Or is are there challenges? IVAN: we do? That's an incredible question there. It's a tricky one, because it depends on the university. The answer we receive. Of course, in my university, as I said, we are, we are lots of Jews in our eyes, but we are a strong minority also, but we have some Jewish directors in the administration, so sometimes they are really focused on attending to our concerns, and they are really able to to pick a call, to answer back our messages, also, um, there's a there's a great work that Argentina has been, has been doing since 2020 to apply the IHRA definition in every institute, in every public institution. So for example, my university, it's part of the IHRA definition. So that's why it was easy for us to apply sanctions to student cabinets or student organizations that were repeating antisemitic rhetorics, distortioning the Holocaust messages and everything, because we could call to our administrators, regardless if they were Jewish or not, but saying like, ‘Hey, this institution is part of the IHRA definition since February 2020, it's November 2023, and this will be saying this, this and that they are drawing on the walls of the of our classrooms. Rockets with Magen David, killing people. This is distortioning the Jewish values, the religion, they are distortioning everything. Please do something.'  So they started doing something. Then with the private institutions, we really have a good relationship. They have partnerships with different institutions from Israel, so it's easy for us to stop political demonstrations against the Jewish people. We are not against political demonstrations supporting the Palestinian statehood or anything. But when it regards to the safety of Jewish life on campus or of Jewish students, we do make phone calls. We do call to other Jewish institutions to have our back. And yes, we it's we have difficult answers, but we but the important thing is that we have them. They do not ghost us, which is something we appreciate. But sometimes ghosting is worse. Sometimes it's better for us to know that the institution will not care about us, than not knowing what's their perspective towards the problem. So sometimes we receive like, ‘Hey, this is not an antisemitism towards towards our eyes. If you want to answer back in any kind, you can do it. We will not do nothing.  MANYA: Ivan, I'm wondering what you're thinking of as you're telling me this. Is there a specific incident that stands out in your mind as something the university administrators declined to address? IVAN: So in December 2023, when we were all in summer break, we went back to my college, to place the hostages signs on the walls of every classroom. Because at the same time, the student led organizations that were far left, student-led organizations were placing these kind of signs and drawings on the walls with rockets, with the Magen David and demonizing Jews. So we did the same thing. So we went to the school administrators, and we call them, like, hey, the rocket with the Magen David. It's not okay because the Magen David is a Jewish symbol. This is a thing happening in the Middle East between a state and another, you have to preserve the Jewish students, whatever. And they told us, like, this is not an antisemitic thing for us, regardless the IHRA definition. And then they did do something and paint them back to white, as the color of the wall.  But they told us, like, if you want to place the hostages signs on top of them or elsewhere in the university, you can do it. So if they try to bring them down, yet, we will do something, because that this is like free speech, that they can do whatever they want, and you can do whatever that you want. So that's the answers we receive.  So sometimes they are positive, sometimes they are negative, sometimes in between. But I think that the important thing is that the youth is united, and as students, we are trying to push forward and to advocate for ourselves and to organize by ourselves to do something. MANYA: Is there anything that you want to accomplish, either this year or before you leave campus? IVAN: To keep building on the work of the Argentinian Union of Jewish Students is doing bringing Jewish college students together, representing them, pushing our limits, expanding across the country. As I said, we have a strong operations in Buenos Aires as the majority of the community is here, but we also know that there's other Jewish students in other provinces of Argentina. We have 24 provinces, so we are just working in one.  And it's also harder for Jewish students to live Jewishly on campus in other provinces when they are less students. Then the problems are bigger because you feel more alone, because you don't know other students, Jews or non-Jews. So that's one of my main goals, expanding across the country, and while teaming up with non-Jewish partners.  MANYA: You had said earlier that the students in the union were all buzzing about AJC's recent ad in the The New York Times calling for a release of the hostages still in Gaza.Are you hoping your seat on AJC's Campus Global Board will help you expand that reach? Give you some initiatives to empower and encourage your peers. Not just your peers, Argentina's Jewish community at large.  IVAN: My grandma is really happy about the AJC donation to the Gaza church. She sent me a message. If you have access to the AJC, please say thank you about the donation. And then lots of Jewish students in the in our union group chat, the 150 Jewish students freaking out about the AJC article or advice in The New York Times newspaper about the hostages. So they were really happy MANYA: In other words, they they like knowing that there's a global advocacy organization out there on their side? IVAN: Also advocating for youth directly. So sometimes it's hard for us to connect with other worldwide organizations. As I said, we are in Argentina, in the bottom of the world. AJC's worldwide. And as I said several times in this conversation, we are so well established that sometimes we lack of international representation here, because everything is solved internally. So if you have, if you have anything to say, you will go to the AMIA or to the Daya, which are the central organizations, and that's it. And you are good and there. And they may have connections or relationships with the AJC or with other organizations. But now students can have direct representations with organizations like AJC, which are advocating directly for us. So we appreciate it also. MANYA: You said things never got as heated and uncomfortable in Argentina as they did on American college campuses. What encouragement would you like to offer to your American peers?  I was two weeks ago in New York in a seminar with other Jewish students from all over the world and I mentioned that our duty as Jewish youth is paving the way for ourselves. Sometimes we may feel alone. Sometimes we are, sometimes we are not. But the most important thing is for us as youth to pave the way for ourselves, to take action, to speak out. Even if it's hard or difficult. It doesn't matter how little it is, but to do something, to start reconnecting with other Jews, no matter their religious spectrum, to start building bridges with other youth. Our strongest aspect is that we are youth, Not only because we are Jewish, but we are youth. So it's easier for us to communicate with our with other peers. So sometimes when everything is, it looks like hate, or everything is shady and we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. We should remember that the other one shouting against us is also a peer. MANYA:. Thank you so much, Ivan. Really appreciate your time and good luck going back for your spring semester. IVAN: Thank you. Thank you so much for the time and the opportunity.  MANYA:  Now we return home. Campus Global Board Member Lauren Eckstein grew up outside Phoenix and initially pursued studies at Pomona College in Southern California. But during the spring semester after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks, she transferred to Washington University in St. Louis. She returned to California this summer as one of AJC's Goldman Fellows.  So Lauren, you are headed back to Washington University in St Louis this fall. Tell us what your experience there has been so far as a college student. LAUREN: So I've been there since January of 2024. It has a thriving Jewish community of Hillel and Chabad that constantly is just like the center of Jewish life. And I have great Jewish friends, great supportive non-Jewish friends. Administration that is always talking with us, making sure that we feel safe and comfortable. I'm very much looking forward to being back on campus.  MANYA: As I already shared with our audience, you transferred from Pomona College. Did that have anything to do with the response on campus after October 7? LAUREN: I was a bit alienated already for having spent a summer in Israel in between my freshman and sophomore year. So that would have been the summer of 2023 before October 7, like few months before, and I already lost some friends due to spending that summer in Israel before anything had happened and experienced some antisemitism before October 7, with a student calling a pro-Israel group that I was a part of ‘bloodthirsty baby killers for having a barbecue in celebration of Israeli independence. But after October 7 is when it truly became unbearable. I lost hundreds of followers on Instagram. The majority of people I was friends with started giving me dirty looks on campus. I was a history and politics double major at the time, so the entire history department signed a letter in support of the war. I lost any sense of emotional safety on campus. And so 20 days after October 7, with constant protests happening outside of my dorm, I could hear it from my dorm students going into dining halls, getting them to sign petitions against Israel, even though Israel had not been in Gaza at all at this point. This was all before the invasion happened. I decided to go home for a week for my mental well being, and ended up deciding to spend the rest of that semester at home. MANYA: What did your other Jewish classmates do at Pomona? Did they stay? Did they transfer as well? LAUREN: I would say the majority of Jewish students in Claremont either aren't really–they don't really identify with their Jewish identity in other way, in any way, or most of them identify as anti-Zionist very proudly. And there were probably only a few dozen of us in total, from all five colleges that would identify as Zionists, or really say like, oh, I would love to go to Israel. One of my closest friends from Pomona transferred a semester after I did, to WashU. A few other people I know transferred to other colleges as well. I think the choice for a lot of people were either, I'm going to get through because I only have a year left, or, like, a couple years left, or I'm going to go abroad.  Or I'm just going to face it, and I know that it's going to be really difficult, and I'm only going to have a few friends and only have a few professors I can even take classes with, but I'm going to get through it. MANYA: So have you kept in touch with the friends in Pomona or at Pomona that cut you off, shot you dirty looks, or did those friendships just come to an end? LAUREN: They all came to an end. I can count on one hand, under one hand, the number of people that I talked to from any of the Claremont Colleges. I'm lucky to have one like really, really close friend of mine, who is not Jewish, that stood by my side during all of this, when she easily did not need to and will definitely always be one of my closest friends, but I don't talk to the majority of people that I was friends with at Pomona. MANYA: Well, I'm very sorry to hear that, but it sounds like the experience helped you recognize your truest friend. With only one year left at WashU, I'm sure plenty of people are asking you what you plan to do after you graduate, but I want to know what you are hoping to do in the time you have left on campus. LAUREN: I really just want to take it all in. I feel like I haven't had a very normal college experience. I mean, most people don't transfer in general, but I think my two college experiences have been so different from each other, even not even just in terms of antisemitism or Jewish population, but even just in terms of like, the kind of school it is, like, the size of it and all of that, I have made such amazing friends at WashU – Jewish and not –  that I just really want to spend as much time with them as I can, and definitely spend as much time with the Jewish community and staff at Hillel and Chabad that I can. I'm minoring in Jewish, Islamic, Middle Eastern Studies, and so I'm really looking forward to taking classes in that subject, just that opportunity that I didn't have at Pomona. I really just want to go into it with an open mind and really just enjoy it as much as I can, because I haven't been able to enjoy much of my college experience. So really appreciate the good that I have. MANYA: As I mentioned before, like Jonathan and Ivan, you are on AJC's Campus Global Board. But you also served as an AJC Goldman Fellow in the Los Angeles regional office this summer, which often involves working on a particular project. Did you indeed work on something specific?  LAUREN: I mainly worked on a toolkit for parents of kids aged K-8, to address Jewish identity and antisemitism. And so really, what this is trying to do is both educate parents, but also provide activities and tools for their kids to be able to really foster that strong Jewish identity. Because sadly, antisemitism is happening to kids at much younger ages than what I dealt with, or what other people dealt with.  And really, I think bringing in this positive aspect of Judaism, along with providing kids the tools to be able to say, ‘What I'm seeing on this social media platform is antisemitic, and this is why,' is going to make the next generation of Jews even stronger. MANYA: Did you experience any antisemitism or any challenges growing up in Arizona? LAUREN: I went to a non-religious private high school, and there was a lot of antisemitism happening at that time, and so there was a trend to post a blue square on your Instagram. And so I did that. And one girl in my grade –it was a small school of around 70 kids per grade, she called me a Zionist bitch for posting the square. It had nothing to do with Israel or anything political. It was just a square in solidarity with Jews that were being killed in the United States for . . . being Jewish.  And so I went to the school about it, and they basically just said, this is free speech. There's nothing we can do about it. And pretty much everyone in my grade at school sided with her over it.  I didn't really start wearing a star until high school, but I never had a second thought about it. Like, I never thought, oh, I will be unsafe if I wear this here.  MANYA: Jonathan and Ivan shared how they started Jewish organizations for college students that hadn't existed before. As someone who has benefited from Hillel and Chabad and other support networks, what advice would you offer your peers in Argentina and Australia? LAUREN: It's so hard for me to say what the experience is like as an Argentinian Jew or as an Australian Jew, but I think community is something that Jews everywhere need. I think it's through community that we keep succeeding, generation after generation, time after time, when people try to discriminate against us and kill us. I believe, it's when we come together as a people that we can truly thrive and feel safe.  And I would say in different places, how Jewish you want to outwardly be is different. But I think on the inside, we all need to be proud to be Jewish, and I think we all need to connect with each other more, and that's why I'm really excited to be working with students from all over the world on the Campus Global Board, because I feel like us as Americans, we don't talk to Jews from other countries as much as we should be. I think that we are one people. We always have been and always will be, and we really need to fall back on that. MANYA: Well, that's a lovely note to end on. Thank you so much, Lauren. LAUREN: Thank you. MANYA:  If you missed last week's episode, be sure to tune in for my conversation with Adam Louis-Klein, a PhD candidate at McGill University. Adam shared his unexpected journey from researching the Desano tribe in the Amazon to confronting rising antisemitism in academic circles after October 7. He also discussed his academic work, which explores the parallels between indigenous identity and Jewish peoplehood, and unpacks the politics of historical narrative.  Next week, People of the Pod will be taking a short break while the AJC podcast team puts the finishing touches on a new series set to launch August 28: Architects of Peace: The Abraham Accords Story. Stay tuned.  

This week Sam and English Dan have the studio to themselves, and sit down for a chat about a round of league action that, mercifully, saw more goals than the previous one. The big story of the week was off the pitch, as Racing signed Marcos Rojo, much to many fans' annoyance, and it then emerged that he's ineligible to play in the league until next year.

What to expect from this week's Putin–Trump summit in Alaska? Hoover Institution Director and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—no stranger, she, to engaging in statecraft with Russia's enigmatic president—joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster for a spirited conversation about Vladimir Putin's motives (is the summit only for domestic Russian consumption?), how to characterize the present US-Sino competition (Secretary Rice tossing cold water on “Cold War 2”), plus the sensibility of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal research funds from leading universities in order to change campus cultures. Following that, Sir Niall recounts his recent sit-down with Argentinian president Javier Milei (is that nation's “vibe shift” real or contrived?); and tariff-agnostic John Cochrane assesses the progress of the Trump administration's ever-evolving trade strategy. Finally, the three panelists discuss the recent 80th anniversary of the only wartime use of atomic weapons and the importance of its annual remembrance.

Public television in the United States has come under fire for its one-sided promotion of leftist ideology, resulting in the recent announcement that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will soon shut down due to funding cuts. But it doesn't have to be this way. Matt Kibbe sits down with Daniel Harmon, executive producer of “Tuttle Twins,” a show that teaches sound economics to kids, to discuss the exciting fact that President Javier Milei is using the show to replace communist propaganda on Argentinian public television. Milei is already showing the world that free-market economics can quickly revitalize even struggling economies; now he's showing that public institutions don't have to be all biased in the same direction. Harmon explains how his media company, Angel Studios, is moving the global conversation toward personal and economic freedom.

The Green Wave Movement began in 2018 in Argentina, focused on anti-femicide but quickly evolving into a bodily autonomy and abortion movement. Protestors took to the streets to not only change the law, but to change the culture across Latin America. Asha Dahya, head of Girl Talk HQ and creator and executive producer of the podcast Green Tide Rising and the short film Someone You Know, sits down to talk to us about this motivating movement across Latin America and what the U.S. can learn.Latin America previously hosted some of most restrictive environments worldwide for the access of abortion services. Because of Argentina's initial countrywide protests, the Argentinian government legalized abortion up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. Success in Argentina's protest spirit then spilled into other countries, including Mexico and Colombia, creating broad judicial and legislative change. For more information, check out CRAMPED: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cramped/id1778101696Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

This week Sam, English Dan and Andrés have only 13 goals in 15 matches to look back on from the third round of the Torneo Clausura – and even that total is only thanks to eight being scored in Monday's three matches. River Plate's 100% start has come to an end, Miguel Ángel Russo is under a lot of pressure at Boca Juniors and there's plenty more to discuss as well.

It's Wednesday, July 30th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims kill relative convert to Christianity Muslims in Uganda killed a relative of theirs earlier this month after he had converted to Christianity.  Kasajja Abdul Maliki accepted Christ in April. The pastor who shared the Gospel with him told Morning Star News, “I took him to my house and discipled him in Christian teachings for a week, and thereafter he returned back to his home.”  Since then, Maliki stopped attending prayers at the mosque. He would study the Bible and pray in his home instead. His relatives broke into his house on July 18. They found him praying for their salvation. Some of them became so angry, they began beating him and even stabbed him. Neighbors tried to save Maliki, but he died on the way to a nearby clinic. Revelation 12:11 says, “They overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Argentinian president recognizes non-Catholic religious groups Evangelical Focus reports that Argentina now recognizes Evangelical churches. President Javier Milei signed a measure to officially recognize non-Catholic religious groups as “religious legal entities.” Most people in Argentina still identify as Catholic, but the number of Evangelicals has grown in recent years. The Christian Alliance of Evangelical Churches of the Republic of Argentina commented on the new measure. It said, “This was achieved thanks to the efforts, prayers, and perseverance of Christians who have worked with respect, patience, and faith to see this progress for over 30 years.” Florida has greatest religious liberty; West Virginia the worst In the United States, First Liberty Institute released their 2025 Religious Liberty in the States report. The report evaluates states based on 47 religious liberty safeguards. The top state this year was Florida with a score of 74.6%. The worst state was West Virginia with a score of 19.6%. Most states fell in the 25%-50% range.  Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis enthusiastically affirmed religious liberty. DeSANTIS: “Today, Florida has earned the number one ranking amongst all 50 states for protecting religious liberty. If you go back to the founding of our country, religious liberty was basically the first freedom that the Founding Fathers sought to protect. “Religious freedom was part of the reason people even settled in the American colonies to begin with. This is something that is central to the American experiment and central to our way of life. But it is something that has really been under assault in recent years.” U.S. federal employees allowed to talk about Christian faith Federal employees can now talk about their faith at work. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent out a memo on Monday about protecting religious expression in the federal workplace. Workers are allowed to display Bibles and crosses, talk to other employees about their faith, and form prayer groups.  The memo states, “The Federal workforce should be a welcoming place for Federal employees who practice a religious faith. Allowing religious discrimination in the Federal workplace violates the law. It also threatens to adversely impact recruitment and retention of highly-qualified employees of faith.” Planned Parenthood closes 33 abortion mills nationally Life News reports that Planned Parenthood has closed 33 abortion mills so far this year. This includes one of its locations in the Houston area of Texas which was known as the largest abortion mill in the Western Hemisphere.  Shawn Carney with 40 Days for Life said, “The defunding of Planned Parenthood and the closure of abortion centers from coast to coast means that July 2025 will go down as the WORST month in Planned Parenthood's history… for now!  Toppling this abortion Goliath proves that, with God, all things truly are possible.” Trust in church increases And finally, people are putting more trust in the church, according to a survey from Gallup. Thirty-six percent of U.S. adults have significant confidence in the church. That's up from 31% in 2022. However, it's down from 66% in 1973 when Gallup first started tracking the percentage. The last year that a majority of Americans had confidence in the church was 2009. Currently, the only institutions that a majority of Americans trust are small business, the military, and science.  Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

This week on "Streaming Without A Paddle", your weekly whats streaming review show, Andrew and Ted watched Netflix's Brazilian born original "Almost Family". This comedy / romance is about two families coming together for the first time as they celebrate the engagement of their children. While both families are from South America the family of the groom is Argentinian, while the bride to be hails from Brazil. The question becomes can the two rival countrymen fathers get along? Tune into see what Andrew and Ted thought about this foreign born comedy.

What had converted Maggie Thatcher from something of a lame duck into a front runner for the next British general election?While the economy had begun to pick up, that had been patchy at best, with some parts of Britain suffering badly while the general picture was improving. That's what made me feel then, and leaves me feeling now, that it was the victory in the Falklands that made her more or less unassailable, far more than any economic achievements.The election, when it came, gave her a landslide majority in the Commons, making her the only British Prime Minister in the twentieth century to have improved her majority at her second election. But that disguises the fact that her popular vote actually fell slightly, mostly down to the impact of the SDP-Liberal Alliance, taking far more votes than the Liberals alone at the previous election. That won them a disappointing number of MPs, because of the perversity of the first past the post system, while giving her a huge victory, down to the exactly the same thing.Next, having defeated an enemy without, the Argentinians, she took on what she regarded as a more serious threat, the enemy within. That was the trade union movement and more particularly the miners. When they struck against mine closures, her smart work preparing the ground for resisting even a long strike, combined with the incompetence of a radical but inept leader of the miners' union, Arthur Scargill, she was able to crush the strikers. A second victory in three years. But not against an external enemy. This was against the enemy within, a once proud and powerful working-class movement, now reduced to impotence.Illustration: A scene from the Battle of Orgreave between mineworker pickets and police.

Dennis is joined via Zoom from Los Angeles by Juan Pablo Di Pace, the writer, co-director and star of the new film Before We Forget. The film is about an Argentinian film director in his 40s named Matias (played by Di Pace) who's struggling to finish a movie he's making based on his first love, 25 years ago, when he was a student at an international boarding school in Northern Italy. The movie is inspired by Juan Pablo's own experience at the same school where they shot the film, the United World College in Duino, Italy. Juan Pablo talks about the challenges he faced getting the film made, finding the perfect actor to play himself at 17, getting permission from his old school to shoot there and co-directing with his friend since childhood, Andrés Pepe Estrada who actually came to visit Juan Pablo when he was at the boarding school and is a character in the film. Juan Pablo also talks about one of the central themes of the film; that great loves from our younger closeted lives can leave marks that impact us well into adulthood. Other topics include: landing TV icon Norman Lear as an executive producer on the film, going almost all the way on Dancing With the Stars, appearing in Mamma Mia, playing an intense Marriage Story-like argument scene in the film The Mattachine Family, why it was important for him to be out in his career, the sneaky voyeuristic quality of VHS footage, getting his mother to play his mother on screen, playing Jesus Christ in the TV movie AD and shooting the crucifixion scene on Day 2 and the important role delusion plays where you're trying to make your creative dreams come true. www.beforeweforgetmovie.com
