Aimar Bretos entrevista al embajador iraní en España, Reza Zabib

V druhom zápase na EURO U21 2025 prehrali naši mladí futbalisti s Talianskom tesne 0:1 a stratili tak všetky šance na postup do štvrťfinále. Hoci výkon mužstva priniesol aj pozitívne momenty, inkasovaný gól zo 7. minúty určil v sobotu večer smerovanie celého stretnutia.V našom podcaste sme privítali bývalého asistenta reprezentačného trénera mužstva do 21 rokov Norberta Hrnčára, ktorý analyzoval, prečo sa nám nepodarilo skórovať napriek dominancii v držaní lopty a počte striel. Čo chýbalo našim mladíkom v poslednej tretine ihriska? Ako hodnotí výkon trénera Jaroslava Kentoša? A prečo sa nám nedarí vychovať kvalitného zakončovateľa?Norbert Hrnčár tiež porovnal súčasnú generáciu mladých hráčov s tou spred 25 rokov a vysvetlil, prečo napriek prítomnosti viacerých legionárov v zahraničných ligách nemáme na turnaji ani bod. Dozviete sa tiež, prečo sa nášmu mužstvu do 21 rokov darí vypredávať štadióny lepšie než seniorskej reprezentácii.Vypočujte si celý rozhovor a dozviete sa, aké šance dáva Norbert Hrnčár našim mladíkom v poslednom zápase proti Rumunsku a ktorí hráči by mohli byť budúcnosťou slovenského futbalu.

Biographical Bytes from Bala #045 for mid-June 2025 The card games whist and bridge arrived in Victorian Philadelphia and captivated its upper-class population. Bridge clubs formed all over town, but people soon realized the man in the know was Milton C. Work, a Philadelphia lawyer. A scoring system that Work popularized for contract bridge remains the one that most players use today. Learn about the history of playing cards, the development of bid games, and a lot more on this month's episode. 

After a health break, we return in this episode to consider the Nigerian president's report card halfway through his term. Is he the bold liberalising force Nigeria, nay Africa, has been waiting for? What can be said of the achievements and limitations of Tinubu's domestic and foreign policy direction, two years into his tenure? We discuss his efforts in comparison to his predecessor and in the context of Nigeria's 40 year romance with neoliberalism.The conversation also considers BAT's foreign policy achievements and mishaps, especially in respect to the emergence of AES, his stance at the head of ECOWAS and his relationships with Washington and Paris. We also examine the possible oppositions to his re-election and the possibility of the rise of a popular mass movement against another tenure. Why isn't Tinubu easier to oppose? How much more neoliberal can we get? Who will survive in these Tinubu times? Listen and find out what we think.

V Poslanecké sněmovně má pověst hlavního experta přes kryptoměny – Jiří Havránek, 31letý poslanec ODS. V rozhovoru řešíme, jestli je bitcoin neproduktivní akcie, která má hodnotu jen proto, že jí mnoho lidí věří. Procházíme pozadí zákona o digitálních financích, který poslanec Havránek prosadil ve Sněmovně. Nejsou poslanci v roli těch, kteří vnucují bankám otevírat účty s kryptoměnami, čímž se podobají levici, která prostřednictvím taxonomie stanovuje bankám, koho má a nemá úvěrovat? Co říká aféře exministra spravedlnosti Blažka a co by dělal sám, kdyby se na něj někdo obrátil s darem státu? Neznepokojuje ho, že třetinu světových bitcoinů drží komunistická Severní Korea, která část z toho ukradla? Jak si představuje podporu sportu? A co říká poslanecké iniciativě poslance Balaše, kvůli němuž může český sport už příští rok přijít o stovky milionů korun?

M'he colat al taller de la Berta Esteve, ceramista de Gelida que fa poc ha obert el seu espai a la plaça de l'església del poble. L'excusa perfecta? Doncs descobrir la playlist que fa servir quan treballa! La música que li agrada —stoner, doom, rock psicodèlic— encaixa de meravella amb el ritme pausat però intens del seu ofici. I és que… hi ha res més hipnòtic que treballar el fang amb Kyuss o Russian Circles de fons? El 149 ha estat un programa preciós, fins i tot terapèutic. Hi he pogut veure —i envejar una mica— la paciència de la Berta, la seva passió per aprendre i, sobretot, com estima la seva feina. Gràcies, Berta! Salut i música! Han sonat: Berri Txarrak, Mars Red Sky, Bala, All Them Witches, The Pilgrim, Stoned Jesus, Naxatras, Kyuss i Russian Circles.

The penultimate Matchday in LaLiga proved to to be dramatic and decisive in a ten-game multi-match thriller!Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) recap it all and decipher what it all means for the table and the ramifications.Villarreal went to the newly-crowned champions and got the win they needed to secure a coveted return to the Champions League. Barça didn't mind losing this one, as they were in full fiesta mode to receive the title trophy and say farewell to Montjuïc.Betis waved goodbye to their chances with a heavy defeat at Atlético, but their final is the Conference League next week. Julián Álvarez shone once again as compatriot Ángel Correa got a heavenly send-off of his own.Kylian Mbappé kept on scoring as Real Madrid beat nine-man Sevilla. All eyes are firmly on the Xabi Alonso reign now, as the signing of Dean Huijsen was also confirmed this weekend.In the European race, Rayo came from behind to win a massive six-pointer at Balaídos. Celta will be kicking themselves because it was all in their hands to qualify here, but they let their first chance slip. Osasuna beat Espanyol to stay in the hunt too: two teams will make Europe, one will miss out next week.At the bottom, Alavés and Getafe secured their respective statuses with narrow wins, but Espanyol must sweat another week after suffering a fifth consecutive defeat. From what looked like safety has become a shoot-out.Leganés maintained their survival hopes with a win at recently doomed Las Palmas. Both Lega and Espanyol face home games against Segunda-bound sides, so the drama is sure to be cranked up next weekend.Lastly, we salute Imanol Alguacil as he waved goodbye to his public with a win, sadly roo rare for Real Sociedad this season.

En pleno proceso electoral, Veracruz vuelve a ser escenario de violencia política. La reciente ejecución de Yesenia Lara, candidata a la alcaldía de Texistepec en Veracruz, junto a otras cuatro personas —incluida la hija de un policía municipal— pone en evidencia una constante que se repite en cada elección local: el crimen organizado no solo influye, sino que decide quién vive, quién muere y quién puede contender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Los miembros de 'El Sanedrín' se preguntan cómo va a afectar la eliminación del FC Barcelona de Champions en sus aspiraciones por LaLiga. 

Nos sentamos con Alejandro Valverde para hablar de ciclismo y, en concreto, de gravel. Días después de su caída en la Vuelta Ibiza y justo antes de tomar la salida en The Traka, nos atiende en el Rocacorba Atelier de Canyon para hablar sobre su paso del ciclismo profesional de carretera al gravel. ¿Cuántas horas entrenaba como profesional y cuántas horas entrena ahora? ¿Qué diferencias hay entre rodar en un pelotón de gravel y en uno de carretera?, ¿Qué configuración lleva él en una carrera como The Traka? y qué le diría el Bala a los haters del Gravel,  son algunas de las cuestiones que tratamos en este episodio.Hace un año en The Traka empezamos este proyecto llamado Gravel Studio Podcast y, un año más tarde, hemos podido entrevistas a uno de los ciclistas más importantes y queridos del país. Gracias al Movistar Team por hacerlo posible, a Canyon y al propio Alejandro por su tiempo. Como cada martes, gracias por escucharnos, por hacer crecer el podcast, si te ha gustado comparte el episodio con tu grupeta, deja un comentario, dale a like y suscríbete y todas esas cosas que se suelen decir, no cuesta nada e indirecamente, estarás ayudando a posicionar el podcast y a ayudarnos a crear más contenido como este.@gravelstudio_@laucylcecoah@carlosmancera4

Natalie Holloway, founder of Bala, joins us Elizabeth week to share her incredible journey from advertising executive to redefining fitness accessories with one of the most recognizable wellness brands today. After meeting her now husband and co-founder while working at an ad agency, Natalie made a bold decision to step away from corporate life to create something new. What started as an idea during a yoga class while traveling turned into Bala—a company that quickly captured the attention of Shark Tank investors Mark Cuban and Maria Sharapova, and grew from two million to twenty million dollars in just one year.In this episode, Natalie talks about the power of slowing down to create space for big ideas, learning hard lessons around growth and delegation, and her approach to building a brand that marries fashion, functionality, and fitness. She also shares her favorite Bala products, her go-to wellness rituals as a busy mom, and what it really looks like to evolve personally and professionally while leading with intention. Episodes Here Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | InstagramBala: Website | Instagram - Balacize | Instagram - Bala  Mentioned: Fuze House Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape VI02 tape   Votary LMNT Electrolyte

In a candid episode of The New Stack Makers, Kubernetes pioneer Kelsey Hightower and AWS's Eswar Bala explored the evolving relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon London. Hightower highlighted open source's origins as a grassroots movement challenging big vendors, and shared how it gave people—especially those without traditional tech credentials—a way into the industry. Recalling his own journey, Hightower emphasized that open source empowered individuals through contribution over credentials.Bala traced the early development of Kubernetes and his own transition from building container orchestration systems to launching AWS's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), driven by growing customer demand. The discussion, recorded at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, touched on how open source is now central to enterprise cloud strategies, with AWS not only contributing but creating projects like Karpenter, Cedar, and Kro.Both speakers agreed that open source's collaborative model—where companies build in public and customers drive innovation—has reshaped the cloud ecosystem, turning former tensions into partnerships built on community-driven progress.Learn more from The New Stack about the relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software:The Metamorphosis of Open Source: An Industry in TransitionThe Complex Relationship Between Cloud Providers and Open SourceHow Open Source Has Turned the Tables on Enterprise SoftwareJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.
