Comenzaremos el programa discutiendo la actualidad. La primera noticia trata sobre la sorprendente decisión de The Economist de nombrar a Siria país del año. La segunda noticia trata sobre el gasto navideño, que este año va a aumentar en toda la Unión Europea. El aumento del gasto, por desgracia, no es debido a un exuberante espíritu de navidad, sino que viene causado por la inflación y por normativas de seguridad más estrictas para los juguetes. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un estudio que indica que mucha gente usa la IA para apoyo emocional e interacción social. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa de hoy rindiendo homenaje a Rob Reiner, el aclamado actor y director, que fue asesinado en su casa de Los Ángeles junto a su esposa, Michele Singer Reiner. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, The Past Perfect Indicative - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de un atraco ocurrido en el Banco Central de Barcelona en el año 1981. Los atracadores secuestraron a 300 personas durante 37 horas. Incluso hubo la hipótesis de que podía ser una trama política vinculada al golpe de Estado del 23 febrero, ocurrido unos meses antes. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Marear la perdiz. La usaremos para hablar de la Ley de Dependencia en España, aprobada en 2006. Esta ley ofrece ayudas a personas con dificultades de autonomía por edad, enfermedad o discapacidad. Pero la realidad es muy distinta ya que la burocracia bloquea estas ayudas. A esta situación la llamamos el limbo de la dependencia.

We're joined by Professor Michael Neuman to talk about his book Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities and Societies.  We chat about why trees are important models for infrastructure development, the important lessons of Barcelona for the world, and why infrastructure is lately seen as a monetary asset instead of a public good.  This week we're going back in time to Episode 392 from July of 2022.  I really loved this book and hope that more people would read it.  It's an academic title but Professor Neuman really shared a lot of new ideas and thoughts in here.  And I love the discussion about trees as beings way wiser than us humans…. Also I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  We might have something for you next week but I'm not going to guarantee it.  We do have some AMAZING things coming next year so stay tuned! +++ Get the show ad free on Patreon!

Transcript:Ca: Montjuïc brillava amb una claror especial aquell matí d'hivern.En: Montjuïc shone with a special brightness that winter morning.Ca: Les fulles dels arbres tremolaven lleugerament amb la brisa freda i el sol d'hivern il·luminava suaument Barcelona.En: The leaves of the trees trembled slightly with the cold breeze, and the winter sun gently illuminated Barcelona.Ca: Els carrers de la ciutat estaven decorats amb llums de Nadal, recordant a tothom l'esperit festiu de l'època.En: The streets of the city were decorated with Christmas lights, reminding everyone of the festive spirit of the season.Ca: Martí havia decidit que aquell seria el moment perfecte per a un pícnic.En: Martí had decided that this would be the perfect moment for a picnic.Ca: Amb el cor ple d'incertesa, va pujar la muntanya, esperant que el seu gest portés reconciliació entre ell i els seus germans, Elena i Sergi.En: With a heart full of uncertainty, he climbed the mountain, hoping that his gesture would bring reconciliation between him and his siblings, Elena and Sergi.Ca: La discussió recent sobre el futur de la seva família pesava en la seva consciència, i la distància emocional s'havia fet més gran del que volia admetre.En: The recent argument about the future of their family weighed on his conscience, and the emotional distance had become greater than he wanted to admit.Ca: El pícnic estava preparat senzillament: entrepans, una mica de vi calent i unes quantes llaminadures nadalenques.En: The picnic was prepared simply: sandwiches, some mulled wine, and a few Christmas treats.Ca: Martí esperava que aquests detalls senzills servissin com a catalitzador per al retrobament i l'harmonia.En: Martí hoped that these simple details would serve as a catalyst for reunion and harmony.Ca: Quan Elena i Sergi van arribar, el paisatge els va sorprendre.En: When Elena and Sergi arrived, the landscape surprised them.Ca: L'escena els va portar records d'infància, d'altres Nadal passats, plens de rialles i complicitat al mateix indret.En: The scene brought back childhood memories of past Christmases, full of laughter and companionship in the same place.Ca: Els tres germans es van asseure en una manta, el silenci inicial només trencat pel soroll de les branques al vent i el murmuri llunyà de la ciutat.En: The three siblings sat on a blanket, the initial silence only broken by the noise of the branches in the wind and the distant murmur of the city.Ca: Al principi, van parlar de banalitats.En: At first, they talked about trivialities.Ca: El clima, les decoracions nadalenques de les Rambles, anècdotes de la feina.En: The weather, the Christmas decorations on Les Rambles, anecdotes from work.Ca: Però, com Martí temia, la discussió passada va tornar a l'ambient, com un núvol inesperat.En: But as Martí feared, the past argument returned to the air like an unexpected cloud.Ca: Sergi va remenar-se inquiet, mentre Elena evitava la mirada del seu germà.En: Sergi fidgeted uneasily, while Elena avoided her brother's gaze.Ca: Martí va sentir un nus a l'estómac.En: Martí felt a knot in his stomach.Ca: El seu orgull el va voler frenar, però el desig de recuperar els seus vincles era més fort.En: His pride wanted to hold him back, but the desire to restore his bonds was stronger.Ca: Va inspirar profundament i, amb la veu mig tremolosa, va dir: "Ho sento.En: He took a deep breath and, with a slightly trembling voice, said, "I'm sorry.Ca: Sé que la meva obstinació ens ha fet mal.En: I know my stubbornness has hurt us.Ca: No vull perdre els meus germans per això.En: I don't want to lose my siblings over this.Ca: Us he preparat aquest pícnic perquè recordem que som família.En: I prepared this picnic for us to remember that we are family."Ca: "El silenci va seguir la seva confessió, però Martí ja no sentia pes al cor.En: Silence followed his confession, but Martí no longer felt a weight on his heart.Ca: Havien passat uns segons, quan Elena va trencar el gel amb un somriure suau.En: A few seconds passed before Elena broke the ice with a gentle smile.Ca: "Jo també ho sento, Martí.En: "I'm sorry too, Martí.Ca: Trobava a faltar aquestes trobades.En: I missed these gatherings."Ca: "Sergi va assentir, encara emocionat.En: Sergi nodded, still emotional.Ca: "Realment, això és el que importa.En: "Really, this is what matters.Ca: Estar junts, sense que les diferències ens separin.En: Being together, without letting differences separate us."Ca: "Van seguir parlant, primer amb cautela, després amb la calidesa i l'espontaneïtat que només la família pot tenir.En: They continued talking, first with caution, then with the warmth and spontaneity that only family can have.Ca: Rient, compartint records i fent plans de futures trobades, van prometre no deixar que res els separés de nou.En: Laughing, sharing memories, and making plans for future meetings, they promised not to let anything separate them again.Ca: La tarda va acabar amb una abraçada col·lectiva, mentre el sol començava a baixar lentament.En: The afternoon ended with a group hug, as the sun slowly began to set.Ca: Martí va comprendre aleshores el poder de la vulnerabilitat i la importància de demanar disculpes sincerament.En: Martí then understood the power of vulnerability and the importance of sincerely apologizing.Ca: Havien començat un nou camí junts, i aquest Nadal seria recordat pel seu significat especial: la reconciliació i el retorn de l'amor familiar.En: They had begun a new path together, and this Christmas would be remembered for its special meaning: reconciliation and the return of family love.

¿Qué tienen en común una joven republicana de 1939 y una joven palestina de 2025? La guerra y la huida. Ambas han tenido que dejar su casa, ambas han cruzado una frontera y ambas se convierten en refugiadas en un país extranjero. Este podcast narrativo de nuestra productora La República Independiente de la Radio une la ficción y el documental, la historia de España y la de Palestina, la guerra civil española y el genocidio en Gaza, para contar la vida de dos mujeres, Lola (Victoria Luengo) y Duha Alzaiti (interpretada por ella misma), atravesadas por un mismo desgarro: el exilio. En este primer episodio hablamos de las dudas que sobrevuelan el momento de dejar tu casa: ¿volverás a ver a esa persona tan querida otra vez? Lola tiene que abandonar Barcelona ante el avance de las tropas franquistas dejando a la abuela que la ha criado. Duha llevará dos tesoros con ella cuando sale de Gaza después de que su padre pronuncie una frase que no ha podido olvidar: “Nos vamos”. Créditos: Los testimonios reales que abren el capítulo pertenecen a los refugiados catalanes, Carme Casas, Josep Colom, Eulalia Sangenis y Luis Martín, y han sido cedidos para este podcast por el Museu Memorial de l'Exili. Victoria Luengo, Juan Diego Botto, Miren Iza y Alberto San Juan los han doblado al castellano.

Season's Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Derrick N. Ashong, earlier this year in Nairobi at the Charter Cities Institute, 2025 New Cities Summit (https://youtu.be/d9XUzdxKmzo?si=FbITjI8Git8kEb9Q). At the summit, we connected as storytellers that share Ghanaian heritage and formative years spent in Brooklyn, New York. In a glocal citizenship twist, we later came to find that we met virtually years prior through mutual connections in the media and arts spaces. Derrick's work leverages his international upbringing which informs his company's vision for Turning Culture into Currency for creators and fans worldwide. He does this as founder and CEO of TBTM, a media fintech that uses content to onboard global audiences to inclusive financial solutions, with partners like Mastercard. While still a student at Harvard, he played a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and went on to top charts with his band, winning a Billboard Songwriting Award. As a host and producer, he pioneered multi-platform interactive content with Oprah Winfrey, and major media platforms including ABC-Disney and Univision, earning three Emmy nods and a Royal Television Society Award. His original Take Back the Mic television series has won seven major international awards and achieved 1.1 Billion media impressions worldwide. He has delivered electrifying speeches on issues of Youth Culture and Tech for UK Parliament, the United Nations, and the world's most elite business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Cambridge and London School of Economics. He has interviewed celebrities and global luminaries ranging from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan, to Zoe Saldaña, Kevin Hart and Steven Wozniak, among others. Most recently, he has delivered keynote speeches for Mastercard, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Kigali, as well as SuperReturn Africa--the continent's top investment forum. In this conversation we get to know even more about the next phase of Derrick's vision for flipping the script on creative industry infrastructure in Africa. #Listenandlearn more!

What do the spaces where we play as children teach us about belonging, confidence, and opportunity? In this episode of The Real State, Alex Norman and Jamie Blond sit down with Honorata Gręczykowska, an urban designer living and working in Barcelona whose research focuses on how the design of everyday spaces influences behavior, mobility, and social dynamics. Drawing from years of work across Europe and deep, year-long studies inside Catalonian primary schools, Honorata explains why schoolyards are often the first true public spaces children navigate independently—and why they matter far more than we realize. The conversation explores how culture, especially in a football-centric city like Barcelona, shapes public space design, and how participatory, intersectional research with children, parents, teachers, and municipalities can challenge long-standing norms. We dig into how small design decisions can dramatically change who feels welcome, who participates, and who is pushed to the margins, and why inclusive design doesn't require big budgets—just better understanding. We close by looking ahead. What could the future of schoolyards, parks, and public spaces look like if cities truly designed for how people live and play? And how might these early experiences shape healthier, more confident communities for generations to come? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Matchday 17 was a weekend which started off with draws and then became a series of one-way results, some in emphatic fashion. Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román De Arquer (@Aeroslavee) review it all.We start with the on-paper partidazo between Villarreal and Barcelona, which was unfortunately conditioned by a first half red card. The visitors won comfortably in the end to become Christmas number one, keeping Real Madrid four points back. Los Blancos had their own 2-0 victory on Saturday night against Sevilla, but left more doubts once again. The only real bright sparks were the form of Thibaut Courtois and Kylian Mbappé, who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's club record for goals in a calendar year.Atleti won convincingly on the road to leave Girona in the danger zone, while Betis put four past Getafe to apply some pressure on Espanyol.In Part Two we discuss Elche returning to their best form and our concern for Rayo, who might be taking their eye off the ball domestically. The managerless sides played out a 1-1 draw, but Real Sociedad will really feel that it was two points dropped. Both clubs confirmed the appointments of their new coaches, so we evaluate their potential chances. Guillermo Almada has already begun life at Oviedo, but could not prevent the inevitable stalemate. We end by picking our moments of the year and wishing our listeners and subscribers at lllonline.substack.com a happy festive season. ¡¡Feliz Navidad!! Hosted on Acast.

Avui hi ha força tràfec, oi?" Oriol assentí, una mica estressat.En: "Merry Christmas, guys! It's quite busy today, isn't it?" Oriol nodded, a bit stressed.Ca: L'interior de la botiga era càlid i acollidor, amb prestatgeries plenes de llibres, joies i petites artesanies.En: The interior of the shop was warm and welcoming, with shelves full of books, jewelry, and small crafts.Ca: "Què puc fer per tu, Oriol?", preguntà Marcel, amb la seva mirada atenta i tranquil·la.En: "What can I do for you, Oriol?" asked Marcel, with his attentive and calm gaze.Ca: Oriol, esbufegant, explicà la seva missió.En: Oriol, sighing, explained his mission.Ca: "Necessito un regal per a la meva germana. Alguna cosa especial... però no sé què."En: "I need a gift for my sister. Something special... but I don't know what."Ca: Gemma deambulava pel lloc, examinant objectes i suggerint coses sense parar.En: Gemma wandered around the place, examining objects and endlessly suggesting things.Ca: Oriol mirava al seu voltant, indecís.En: Oriol looked around, undecided.Ca: Un llibre? Massa avorrit.En: A book? Too boring.Ca: Un collar? Potser massa personal.En: A necklace? Maybe too personal.Ca: Llavors, en un racó, Oriol va veure alguna cosa que li va cridar l'atenció.En: Then, in a corner, Oriol saw something that caught his attention.Ca: Era una petita figura de fang pintada amb colors alegres i representava una noia amb un barret gran somrient, fet a mà per un artesà local.En: It was a small clay figure painted with cheerful colors, representing a girl with a large hat smiling, handcrafted by a local artisan.Ca: "Aquesta figura... té alguna cosa.En: "This figure... it has something.Ca: La personalitat, els colors... el somriure", va murmurar Oriol.En: The personality, the colors... the smile," murmured Oriol.Ca: Marcel, darrere del mostrador, va intervenir.En: Marcel, from behind the counter, chimed in.Ca: "És una peça única.En: "It's a unique piece.Ca: La van fer a mà al taller d'aquí a prop.En: It was handmade at the nearby workshop.Ca: Té una història màgica al darrere.En: It has a magical story behind it.Ca: És perfecte per a una persona amb gust per l'art i la creativitat."En: It's perfect for someone with a taste for art and creativity."Ca: Oriol va saber, aleshores, que era el regal adequat.En: Oriol knew then that it was the right gift.Ca: Va comprar la figura amb una sensació de satisfacció que no havia experimentat en altres compres.En: He bought the figure with a sense of satisfaction he hadn't experienced in other purchases.Ca: Marcel li va fer un gest d'aprovació mentre embolicava amb cura el regal.En: Marcel gave him an approving nod while carefully wrapping the gift.Ca: Mentre sortien de la botiga, Gemma li va donar una lleugera empenta.En: As they left the shop, Gemma gave him a gentle nudge.Ca: "Ho has aconseguit!En: "You did it!Ca: Has confiat en el teu instint." Oriol va somriure, sentint-se alleujat i feliç.En: You trusted your instincts." Oriol smiled, feeling relieved and happy.Ca: Per primer cop, va deixar de planificar tant i va deixar que el moment el guiés.En: For the first time, he stopped planning so much and let the moment guide him.Ca: La nit de Nadal va arribar, i quan la seva germana va obrir el regal, li va il·luminar la cara un somriure genuí.En: Christmas Eve arrived, and when his sister opened the gift, a genuine smile lit up her face.Ca: Oriol va saber aleshores que, a vegades, la millor planificació era deixar-se portar i escoltar el cor.En: Oriol then knew that sometimes the best planning was to go with the flow and listen to the heart.Ca: Enmig de la fredor hivernal i del màgic Barri Gòtic, Oriol havia après a viure amb una mica més d'espontaneïtat i confiança en si mateix.En: Amidst the winter chill and the magical Barri Gòtic, Oriol had learned to live with a bit more spontaneity and self-trust.Ca: Va ser una lliçó valuosa, una que es va portar amb ell, més enllà del Nadal.En: It was a valuable lesson, one he carried with him beyond Christmas.

By 2030, it's expected to support a $3.2 trillion Blue Economy. Yet 70% of proven ocean solutions, such as coastal resilience, coral restoration, and marine pollution cleanup, never move past the pilot stage. These projects often win awards and get media attention, but then stall because funding systems don't connect working ideas with the cities, ports, and coastal areas that need them. Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy, co-founder and ocean lead at Okhtapus, wants to change that. Okhtapus, named with the Persian word for the octopus, uses a model that links what Stewart calls "the three hearts" of successful projects: innovators with proven solutions, cities and ports ready to use them, and funders looking for solid projects. The first Okhtapus Global Replicator will launch in 2026. It will bring groups of proven innovators to work on important projects in specific places, such as a single port city like Barcelona, where Okhtapus already has strong partnerships, or a group of Caribbean islands facing similar problems. The aim is to have enough successful projects that funders stop asking "where are the deals?" and start saying "we've got enough." The platform focuses on late-stage startups and scale-ups, not early-stage ideas. Stewart calls these the "Goldilocks zone"—solutions that are proven enough to copy but still need funding and partners to grow. By combining several solutions for different locations, Okhtapus can offer investors portfolios that fit their needs and make a real difference in cities, ports, and island nations. Stewart has spent twenty years working where climate resilience and policy meet. He was part of President Obama's Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force, led policy and investments at the Resilient Cities Network, and is now Managing Director of the World Ocean Council. "Ten years from now, if this is done fast enough," Stewart said, "we should have pushed hard enough on the funders and the system to change it. What we don't know is whether we'll get to the solution status fast enough for some of these tipping points." To find out more about Okhtapus, visit okhtapus.org.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.
