Podcast appearances and mentions of benjamin hill

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson explores the wonderful world of sports across the Golden State with three notable experts. First, Johnson speaks with Natalie Nakase, head coach of the Golden State Valkyries, the WNBA's newest team making its debut in San Francisco. Nakase, the first Asian American coach in the league's history,  shares her vision for the team and reflects on the rising momentum behind women's basketball. She also describes how she hopes to create a dynamic game-day environment at Chase Stadium. "I hope that they come in and they have a great time and it feels like a party that they can't wait to watch, but also not leave," she says. Plus, Nakase shares how she enjoys spending time when she's not courtside in San Francisco. Next, Johnson catches up with Benjamin Hill of MLB.com to discuss California's fun-filled and easily accessible minor league baseball scene. “It's just such a smaller, friendlier world where you can get up close to the field, you can get up close to the players,” says Hill. He then dives into ballpark adventures he's had across the Golden State, from meeting churro-inspired mascots in San Jose to biting into asparagus-topped hot dogs in Stockton. Hill also highlights recent changes in California's minor league, including the departure of the Modesto Nuts and the addition of a new team in Ontario. Finally, Johnson heads to the Palm Springs Surf Club with professional surfer and operations manager Nate Acker. Acker explains how the state-of-the-art facility is bringing wave riding to the desert and giving people of all skill levels a chance to experience the joy of surfing. "We get groups that come in that have never surfed before," he says. "I love that the most because it's so fun to get people in the water and riding waves that have never done it." Acker also details the wide array of sun-soaked activities available to non-surfers at the club.

El famoso cantante Natanael Cano seguramente no sabe esto, pero el 27 de noviembre de 2023 su vida glamourosa quedó atada para siempre a la de un narcotraficante de poca monta que murió consumido por el fuego. Sus caminos jamás se juntaron —el primer por famoso y millonario y el segundo porn ser carne de cañón del crimen y empobrecido— pero aquel lunes por la noche los unió la misma desgracia: estar bajo la mirilla del mismo grupo criminal, Los Matasalas. A finales de noviembre del año antepasado, Natanael Cano concluía con éxito la Gira Tumbada 2023, con la que llenó arenas y estadios por el país, y festejaba ser de los 10 músicos más escuchados en México en la plataforma Spotify. En esas celebraciones estaba cuando un dealer apodado “El Paletas” fue atrapado por un comando en el municipio Benjamín Hill, en el norte de Sonora, y fue atado de pies y manos al lugar más conocido del pueblo, el monumento ferrocarrilero, donde lo quemaron vivo con gasolina para el horror de decenas de vecinos. Hasta que el cuerpo dejó de arder, la policía se acercó a esa pira humana y encontraron un mensaje en el que, parafraseando a los autores, eso le pasaría a “los traicioneros”. La firma era de Los Chapitos, quienes así hicieron llegar a las primeras planas de los diarios nacionales la existencia de otro brazo armado: Los Matasalas, el apócope de Los Mata-Salazar. El clan de Los Salazar fue leal a la cúpula del Cártel de Sinaloa desde los años 90. Los hermanos Adán y José Crispín Salazar aprovecharon su influencia como contrabandistas independientes de marihuana y amapola en el desierto de Sonora para volverse indispensables para Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, quien en aquellos años soñaba con dominar el narcotráfico en México. Los Salazar no sólo garantizaban la seguridad de los sinaloenses en aquel estado fronterizo, sino que le dieron el Cártel de Sinaloa el control de plazas importantísimas como Hermosillo, Caborca y Sonoyta. Las dos familias fueron grandes aliadas. Más que amistad, compadrazgo, porque en el norte del país casarse no es sólo un acto de amor, sino una estrategia de negocios. Cada vez que “El Chapo” cayó, Los Salazar lo ayudaron a volver a las calles con hombres, dinero y logística. Pero cuando Joaquín Guzmán López no pudo volver a la libertad después de su tercer arresto e inminente extradición, Los Salazar tuvieron que entenderse con Los Chapitos, a quienes veían con malos ojos. Los pensaban juniors, inexpertos, engreídos. No merecían compartir la silla que alguna vez ocupó su padre, pero se guardaron el disgusto y trabajaron a regañadientes… hasta hace dos años. Vino entonces la detención de Ovidio Guzmán, “El Ratón”. La definitiva, la del 5 de enero de 2023. El Culiacanazo II. México respondía así a las presiones de Estados Unidos por la ola de fentanilo que enviaban al norte los herederos del “Chapo”. Y en otro sorpresivo golpe, en septiembre de hace dos años, se realizó de manera exprés la extradición de Ovidio. Con su salida del país, un rumor comenzó a rugir en Culiacán: el Tío Sam doblaría con tanta fuerza al joven chapito para que traicionara a familia que sólo era cuestión de tiempo para que Iván Archivaldo, Jesús Alfredo y Joaquín —sus tres hermanos— fueran detenidos. Los Chapitos apresuraron una estrategia. Y menos de tres semanas después de la extradición de Ovidio, los hijos del “Chapo” colocaron mantas por todos sus bastiones para deslindarse de la producción y distribución de fentanilo. Incluso, anunciaron que asesinarían a cualquiera que moviera ese opioide sintético por sus territorios. Así buscaban quitarse la presión de Estados Unidos. La decisión, cuentan en Sinaloa, fue unilateral. No fue consultada con las demás familias criminales, que de pronto estaban fuera de un negocio de unos mil millones de dólares anuales. Los Salazar se rebelaron y continuaron con el fentanilo hacia Estados Unidos, complicando los planes de Los Chapitos. Entonces, Los Menores hicieron una jugada agresiva: crearon un brazo armado sólo para acabar con Los Salazar mediante ejecuciones extraordinarias de pegadógica violencia. Los Matasalas. Y el hombre quemado en Benjamin Hill era parte de esa estrategia de horror. Desde entonces, Los Matasalas han probado ser letales y arrogantes. Ayudados por veteranos criminales de Sonora, han crecido en poder de fuego hasta convertirse en un dolor de cabeza para policías y militares. Y su último gran movimiento anuncia daños a un inesperado sector: el del espectáculo. Aquí entra, de nuevo, en la historia, Natanael Cano. El 5 de enero, en Hermosillo, Sonora, los Matasalas dejaron una manta colgada afuera de un plantel escolar. Esta vez, los protagonistas son los músicos Natanael Cano, Tito Torbellino, Javier Rosas y agurpaciones locales e influencers de Hermosillo, Guaymas, Ciudad Obregón y Navojoa. Los firmantes les reclaman que apoyan económicamente a los Salazar, quienes han tomado partido en la guerra en Sinaloa a favor de las filas de la “Mayiza”. Con las ganancias de sus obras, sugieren, ayudan al “Mayito” Flaco. Si los músicos no dejan de hacerlo, aseguran los amenazantes, serán fusilados. La guerra en Sinaloa comienza a desbordarse. Incluso, poniendo a sólo unos pocos grados de separación a uno de los cantantes más exitosos de esta generación con un hombre quemado vivo en un rincón desértico en México. El show debe continuar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
