Podcasts about Brazil

When Tyler called Joe Studwell's How Asia Works "perhaps my favorite economics book of the year" back in 2013, he wasn't alone: it became one of the most influential treatments of industrial policy ever written. Now Studwell has turned his attention to Africa with How Africa Works. Tyler calls it excellent, extremely well-researched, and essential reading, but does Studwell's optimism about the continent hold up under scrutiny? Tyler and Joe explore whether population density actually solves development, which African countries are likely to achieve stable growth, whether Africa has a manufacturing future, why state infrastructure projects decay while farmer-led irrigation thrives, what progress looks like in education and public health, whether charter cities or special economic zones can work, and how permanent Africa's colonial borders really are. After testing Joe's optimism about Africa, Tyler shifts back to Asia: what Japan and South Korea will do about depopulation, why industrial policy worked in East Asia but failed in India and Brazil, what went wrong in Thailand, and what Joe will tackle next.

The filmmaker John Sayles (“Eight Men Out”, “The Brother From Another Planet”) returns for his 3rd visit. In addition to the 18 feature films he has written and directed, he is also a longtime author of novels. His latest, “Crucible” is now available where books are sold. From the Oscar-nominated filmmaker comes a complex and sweeping historical novel about Henry Ford — the Elon Musk of his day — and his attempt to rule not only an automotive empire but the rambunctious city of Detroit. It is an epic tale ranging from the 1920s through the second World War, featuring violent labor disputes, misbegotten jungle expeditions, a tragic race riot, and the gestapo tactics of Ford's private army . . . Already the gateway for illegal Canadian liquor during Prohibition, the Motor City becomes a crucible for American class conflict during the Great Depression, with an army of laid off Ford workers drifting into the ranks of the burgeoning union movement — Henry Ford’s worst nightmare. To keep the hundreds of thousands still employed by him in thrall, the man who was formerly ‘America’s favorite tycoon’ recruits black laborers migrating from the deep South to serve as ‘strike insurance’, and gives Harry Bennett, pugnacious as he is diminutive, free reign over the legion of barroom brawlers and ex-cons who make up the company's ‘Security Department’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_cHq5UhYRI The Model T mogul has also bought a sizable chunk of Brazil’s Amazonian rainforest, vowing to grow his own rubber for tires, but stubbornly refusing to include a botanist in his troop of would-be jungle tamers. As a series of biological plagues descend on the Fordlandia plantation, the racial melting pot he has created in Detroit begins to boil over, and not even the Sage of Dearborn can control the forces that have been unleashed. The novel’s cast — Ford workers black and white and their families, young radicals, cynical newsmen, gangsters, Brazilian rubber tappers, cameos from boxer Joe Louis and muralist Diego Rivera — create the tapestry of differing points of view that John Sayles has become famous for, the events portrayed fundamental to the country we live in today.

“There is no British security without Europe,” Keir Starmer told the Munich Security Conference this weekend. Nobody wants a wider war in Europe, but we might get one anyway – and Britain's military isn't ready for it yet. So how can we change our armed forces and our wider society to ensure that Putin won't want to risk a conflict with Britain and our allies? Ed Arnold of the Royal United Services Institute joins Ros Taylor and Raf Behr to talk about how Russia uses hybrid “grey zone” attacks on democracies which stop just short of open warfare… the sobering truth about NATO Article 5… and why we have to budget for the next threat but one, because “What comes after Putin may be worse.”  ESCAPE ROUTES • Raf rewatched Terry Gilliam's Brazil. • Ed has been enjoying England in the Six Nations rugby. • Ros recommends the comedy drama about stand-up comedy, Is This Thing On? , out now in cinemas.  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Ros Taylor and Rafael Behr.

Salve! This is a bonus episode for paid subscribers!Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:"Aquarela Brasileira" (Silas de Oliveira) by Martinho da VilaThe intro to “Aquarela Brasileira” is perhaps the most famous ever written for Carnaval. Composer Silas de Oliveira wrote the samba-enredo in 1964 exclusively for Rio's desfiles—the annual parades of floats and costumes held each February—but its extraordinary impact quickly took it beyond the Sambadrome. The song became a lasting samba classic, later recorded by artists such as Martinho da Vila. NOT TO BE confused with “Aquarela do Brasil,” from the 1930s— the first Brazilian song to become an international hit, recorded by Frank Sinatra. That song was, in fact, the inspiration for Silas de Oliveira's “Aquarela Brasileira,” a tribute to Brazil's many regions, cultures, and colors—hence the reference to watercolor. We discussed the two songs and their respective impact on Brazilian Carnaval.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 17 Februari 2026Bacaan: "Bila engkau duduk makan dengan seorang pembesar, perhatikanlah baik-baik apa yang ada di depanmu. Taruhlah sebuah pisau pada lehermu, bila besar nafsumu!" (Amsal 23:1-2) Renungan: Katak Amazon bertanduk adalah seekor katak yang memiliki ukuran yang sangat besar dibandingkan dengan katak-katak lain. Amfibi gemuk ini dapat tumbuh sepanjang 20 cm, dan banyak ditemukan di Kolombia sampai ke Brazil, khususnya di rawa-rawa daerah sungai Amazon. Namanya didapat dari dua tanduk runcing yang mencuat dari kepalanya. Katak yang betina ukurannya lebih besar dari yang jantan, namun warna kulitnya tidak secerah yang jantan. Namun, yang jauh lebih menarik untuk dibahas dari hewan ini adalah nafsu makannya yang luar biasa besar! Katak ini sangat gemuk dan merupakan katak paling rakus di antara katak-katak jenis lainnya. Sangat sering katak ini ditemukan dalam keadaan mati sewaktu berusaha mencoba menelan mangsa mereka yang terlalu besar, sehingga mulut mereka masih berisi mangsa yang tersangkut dan tidak dapat tertelan ketika ditemukan. Nafsu makan berlebihan sungguh sangat berbahaya! Ternyata, bukan cuma katak yang bisa mengalami hal ini. Alkitab menyampaikan sebuah kisah tragis dari bangsa Israel yang mati konyol karena tidak dapat mengendalikan nafsu rakus mereka yang liar. Kisah tragis ini terjadi di daerah yang diberi nama Kibrot-Taawa. Dikatakan bahwa waktu itu ada orang-orang bajingan yang kemasukan nafsu rakus, hingga mereka berteriak meminta makan daging. Hal ini terjadi karena mereka bosan dengan manna yang tiap hari mereka makan. Akhirnya, Musa datang kepada Tuhan dengan membawa segala keluhan bangsa itu, dan singkat cerita Tuhan mengirimkan burung-burung puyuh dari arah sebelah laut dalam jumlah yang luar biasa besar ke sekeliling perkemahan mereka. Burung-burung itu dihamburkan Tuhan begitu saja, sehingga dapat dengan mudah dikumpulkan orang Israel. Namun, hal mengerikan terjadi ketika orang-orang rakus yang mengeluh itu dengan bernafsunya langsung memakan burung itu. Dan sewaktu daging burung itu sudah di mulut mereka dan belum sempat dikunyah, Tuhan yang sangat murka memukul orang-orang rakus tersebut dengan tulah yang besar sehingga mereka mati dalam kekonyolan mereka sendiri. Kondisi ini seperti katak Amazon bertanduk yang mati karena makanan. Terkadang kita menganggap sepele nafsu makan yang berlebihan. Namun, sadarkah kita bahwa ternyata kerakusan adalah suatu kesalahan di mata Tuhan? Kitab Amsal memberikan nasihat kepada kita untuk mencegah nafsu makan yang berlebihan. Dikatakan, jika nafsu makan kita besar, taruhlah sebuah pisau pada leher kita! Sebagai bukti bahwa rakus adalah hal yang jelek, kita bisa lihat ada berbagai macam penyakit yang dapat timbul karena kerakusan akan makanan. Dan rakus akan makanan biasanya mengarah kepada obesitas yang membawa berbagai penyakit di dalamnya, seperti penyakit jantung ataupun diabetes. Kegemukan juga akan membuat gerakan kita terbatas dan kita akan menjadi malas. Jadi, mari kendalikan nafsu makan kita, sebelum kita dibuat mati karenanya! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, bantulah aku untuk dapat mengontrol nafsu makanku yang mungkin terlalu berlebihan, sehingga aku berusaha makan sesuai batas yang normal dan sehat. Amin. (Dod).

But in this moment, I choose to speak truth over my soul: Tu és o meu refúgio. You are my fortress, my shelter, my safe place when emotions rise and shadows feel heavy. You stand with strength when my heart feels fragile. You remain steady when the world feels unsteady. As fear tries to whisper, Your voice speaks softly, “Não temas; crê somente.” Your courage replaces my trembling. Your calm steadies my breathing. Your presence becomes the refuge my thoughts have been longing for. Jesus, hold my emotions in Your hands tonight and give me the confidence to trust You deeply. Strengthen my belief, lift my spirit, and let Your peace fill the spaces where worry once lived. Guard my rest, protect my night, and carry me toward the morning with renewed hope.

A alma deseja descanso. Tonight, You offer not only rest but renewal — a quiet restoration that reaches deeper than exhaustion and steadies the thoughts that have been stretched thin. Let Your peace settle gently over every home, every family, every tired soul preparing to sleep. Lord, speak calm into the mind that keeps replaying worries. Lift the one who feels worn from responsibility. Strengthen the person who has prayed throughout the day for clarity, direction, or simply a moment to breathe. Your promise of life, hope, and salvation tells us that the story is not finished, that tomorrow is held securely in Your hands, and that You restore what feels depleted. As the night deepens, let Your presence be a quiet reassurance. Que a paz de Cristo renove o coração. Let tired emotions find steadiness. Let anxious thoughts loosen their grip. Let every listener discover that rest is not only physical but also spiritual — a sacred stillness where courage grows again, hope rises gently, and joy slowly returns. Jesus, renew strength for the day ahead and pour peace into the atmosphere of every room, every home, every heart listening now. oração da noite brasil, salmo 91 descanso, esperança para amanhã, Jesus renova forças, paz interior brasil, restauração emocional, oração antes de dormir, consolo espiritual Psalm 91 Brazil prayer, Portuguese Christian devotional, night prayer Brazil, Jesus renew strength, Reverend Ben CooperSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:1 — Jesus, Quiet My Night and Shelter My Mind in Your Secret Place” SECOND: John 6:35 — “Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry… whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.” THEME (PT-BR): oração da noite • ansiedade da madrugada • descanso profundo • presença que acalma Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Portugal • USA • Índia • Angola Psalm 91:1 (NIV): “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” John 6:35 (NIV): “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'” In this quiet midnight hour, Jesus, I come to Your presence seeking rest for the mind and calm for the heart. As the pressures of the day fade and the stillness settles, I choose to dwell in Your lugar secreto, the place where fear loses its grip and peace begins to rise again. You invite me to rest in Your shadow, a covering strong enough for Brazil's long nights, gentle enough for every anxious thought, and close enough to remind me that You are here. When the world feels restless, You speak tranquillity. When the mind becomes noisy, You draw near with stillness. When the heart grows heavy, You whisper, “Eu estou contigo.” Tonight, Jesus, let Your peace become the shelter of my emotions. Quiet the internal storms, soften the thoughts that run too quickly, and steady the worries that try to rise in the early hours. You are the bread of life, the One who satisfies what nothing else can reach. So I turn to You again, trusting You with my breathing, my sleeping, my thoughts, my hopes, and the unseen places of the soul. Cover my night with Your presence. Guard my rest. Lead me into a deeper peace that holds until morning. In Your name, Jesus, I rest.

Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jesus, as midday arrives and decisions begin to gather around me, I pause and lift my thoughts to You. Many across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world feel the weight of choices in this hour — choices about direction, family, finances, work, relationships, or the next step they must take. In these moments when clarity feels fragile and emotions run close to the surface, Your word reassures that I am not left to walk through uncertainty alone. O Senhor ilumina o meu caminho. You shine light where confusion tries to grow, and You guard each step with care and wisdom. Lord, guide my decisions today. Guard my mind from rushing, protect my heart from fear, and steady my spirit so I listen for Your leading before I act. Let every pathway be shaped by Your peace, not pressure. Let Your wisdom rest on me, calming the noise of doubt and bringing a gentle confidence that You are present in every detail. Surround me with Your light so I do not walk blindly into worry but follow the quiet rhythm of Your direction. Jesus, help me trust that where You lead, there is safety. Where You speak, there is clarity. Where You walk, there is peace. Send Your guarding presence ahead of me, and let Your angelic covering hold the places I cannot control.

Responsibilities, conversations, pressures, and decisions begin to echo in the mind, and the fatigue of the late afternoon can make everything feel heavier than it truly is. O coração fica cansado. Yet Your promise comes softly into the tired places: those who cling to You with love will be carried, protected, and strengthened. You do not step back when we feel overwhelmed; You draw near. Lord, lift the heart that feels drained tonight. Renew the one who feels stretched thin. Calm the mind that has replayed worries throughout the afternoon. Let Your Holy Spirit pour fresh hope into the inner places where discouragement has tried to settle. Bring a gentle brightness that steadies emotions and reminds the soul that it is not alone. Surround each listener with the quiet assurance that Your love is not distant; it is present, active, and restoring. Jesus, where confidence feels low, let Your encouragement rise. Where energy feels depleted, let Your peace rest like a warm covering. Where worry whispers, let Your truth speak louder. O amor de Deus sustenta a alma. May every person walking into the evening sense Your strong protection and know that Your love continues to hold their steps securely. oração da tarde brasil, salmo 91 esperança, cansaço emocional oração, renovação do coração, esperança em Jesus, presença de Deus à noite, paz interior brasil, força espiritual fim de tarde Psalm 91 evening prayer, Brazil Christian devotional, Portuguese prayer, emotional renewal prayer, Jesus hope, Reverend Ben CooperSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

The amanhecer carries both beauty and pressure — thoughts of responsibilities, quiet anxieties, and the weight of another day waiting to unfold. Yet Your word tells me that You cover me, surround me, and shelter me beneath the safety of Your wings. Tu és a minha proteção. Your faithfulness becomes the shield that guards my emotions and the strength that steadies my steps. Lord, as this new day awakes, let the peace of Christ rule gently within me.

When the history of this moment is written, Minneapolis may take its place alongside Selma, Stonewall, and Harper's Ferry—a name synonymous with resistance. In this episode, Matthew Taylor and Susie Hayward return to American Unexceptionalism to reflect on what has unfolded in the Twin Cities over the past two months: mass ICE deployments, escalating authoritarian tactics, and a powerful, community-rooted response. Drawing from the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, they explore what frontline resistance looks like in real time, how religious leaders have stepped into both pastoral and prophetic roles, and why this moment feels like the full activation of both Trump-era authoritarian impulses and an American resistance movement finding its footing. This conversation serves as a postlude—and a reckoning—with the themes of American Unexceptionalism. Lessons once drawn from Sri Lanka, South Korea, Brazil, and beyond are now being lived out at home, faster and more intensely than expected. Taylor and Hayward unpack why Minneapolis became the flashpoint, how multifaith and multigenerational organizing has changed the terrain, and what these experiences can teach communities across the country preparing for what may come next. The message is urgent and clear: what's happening in Minneapolis is coming for the rest of America—and the time to learn, organize, and build the relationships needed to defend democracy is now. Dr. Matthew D. Taylor is a visiting scholar at the center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University. His book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024), tracks how a loose network of charismatic Christian leaders called the New Apostolic Reformation was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection and is currently reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. Taylor is also the creator of the audio docuseries Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic Reformation. Rev. Susan Hayward: was until recently the lead on the US Institute of Peace's efforts to understand religious dimensions of conflict and advance efforts engaging religious actors and organizations in peacebuilding. She has conducted political asylum and refugee work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Advocates for Human Rights. Rev. Hayward studied Buddhism in Nepal and is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. www.axismundi.us Executive Producer: Dr. Bradley Onishi Producer: Andrew Gill Original Music and Mixing: Scott Okamoto Production Assistance: Kari Onishi Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Jared chats with Jack Mullinkosson, whose Chinese-learning journey runs from a Vice China documentary set… to living with a Chinese immigrant family in suburban California… to studying in Chengdu… and now biking from Chengdu to Hanoi.Jack got started the way many learners do: by feeling left out. On set, surrounded by Chinese speakers, he noticed how differently the foreigners who spoke Mandarin were treated. Chinese looked like a superpower, and he wanted it.With plenty of downtime during the shoot, Jack began studying characters and survival phrases, boosted by the classic “Your Chinese is so good!” encouragement (even when it wasn't). That early confidence turned into a full-on obsession.Then COVID hit, and Jack found a creative workaround. Back in the U.S., he made a flyer in Chinese offering to live with a Chinese family in exchange for helping their kids with English. The result: four months in a Rancho Cucamonga “McMansion” shared by multiple Chinese families, nightly Mandarin dinners, and a crash course in immigrant hustle and real-world language practice.Along the way, Jack:Read Mandarin Companion graded readers to build his foundationUsed shadowing to level up tones and pronunciationLooked for chances to speak—even when it was inconvenientTurned everyday errands into “Chinese missions”After a few years in Brazil, where he learned Portuguese and became a remote software engineer, Jack returned to China with a new goal: connect Chinese to his career. He now makes videos in Chengdu, capturing spontaneous conversations with park shūshu fitness legends, friendly aunties selling plum wine, and locals who light up when a foreigner speaks Mandarin.And one of the coolest payoffs? While traveling in Spain, Jack used Chinese to order food from a Chinese restaurant owner when neither of them shared English or Spanish.Links from the episode:Jack Mullinkosson | InstagramMandarin Companion Graded Readers

Bill Powers interviews Lara Exploration President and CEO Simon Ingram, highlighting Ingram's prior success leading Reservoir Minerals from $0.65 to $9.40 per share and creating roughly US$500 million in shareholder value at the time of the buyout by Nevsun Resources. Ingram recounts Reservoir's Serbia discovery—described as the world's 13th largest copper discovery since 1990—and notes the resulting mine now generates about 2% of Serbia's GDP. Lara Exploration is applying the same model and team while transitioning from prospect generator to developer through its 100%-owned flagship Planalto copper-gold project in Brazil. The 2025 PEA outlines an open-pit project producing about 36,000 tonnes of copper per year and processing about 8 million tonnes of ore, with estimated capex around $550 million. Using a $13,000/ton copper price, Ingram says the project value is about $1.2 billion at today's spot prices. The discussion covers Lara's valuation gap versus its market cap (~US$100–110 million), plans to de-risk via infill drilling and advancing to pre-feasibility, and exploration upside. Ingram emphasizes Brazil's infrastructure and permitting advantages in its operating region, including nearby major mines, access to low-cost power lines crossing the project, proximity to highways, a skilled mining workforce, and a government royalty structure where a significant portion returns to local municipalities. Powers and Ingram also discuss capital efficiency and shareholder alignment: ~50 million shares outstanding (about 53 million fully diluted), no warrants, ~2.7 million incentive options, management owning ~20%, and G&A under about C$1 million. 00:00 From 65¢ to $9.40: Reservoir Minerals' Serbian success story 01:29 Prospect Generator 101: Partnering to reduce exploration risk 03:32 Lara Exploration's flagship Planalto project Brazil: PEA, scale, and copper price leverage 06:00 De-risking plan: Pre-feasibility, infill drilling, and high-grade upside 06:41 Return on capital & timing the copper cycle (why now matters) 08:18 Jurisdiction & infrastructure: Why this Brazil project can get built 09:05 Portfolio, royalties, and capital discipline (50M shares, no rollbacks) 12:55 Team edge: Technical background, copper scarcity, and demand drivers 14:40 How the project stacks up: peers, capex, metallurgy, and simple processing 25:29 PEA rigor: Cost levers, power pricing, and engineering due diligence 28:24 Near-term catalysts & funding options: New license drilling and next steps 31:55 Wrap-up, tickers, and final podcast disclaimer https://laraexploration.com/ TSXV:LRA -- OTC:LRAXF Sponsor Lara Exploration pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

During Carnival week in Brazil, Ricardo connects celebration with project management. Carnival, one of the world's largest cultural events, symbolizes creativity, energy, discipline, and months of preparation. Behind the music and parades lies structured planning, budgeting, rehearsals, and well-defined roles—just like in projects. However, in professional life, teams often move from one milestone to another without celebrating achievements. Projects demand resilience, discipline, and sacrifice, and each victory deserves recognition. Celebrating is not a waste of time; it's emotional fuel. It reinforces positive behaviors, strengthens the sense of belonging, reduces burnout, and highlights progress. Just like in Carnival, successful projects deliver results and build stronger, more motivated teams along the way. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordFebruary 16th 2026B E L E M   T O   S A N T A   M A R T AAt last! The first International Conference focused on the Transition Away from fossil fuel dependence.https://transitionawayconference.com/It will be held at the end of April 2026, in the Colombian Coal Port of Santa Marta.The aim is to create actionable guidelines. It will not replace the UN process but will contribute to the Belem roadmap announced by the COP 30th president in Brazil. It  will be the first International conference where actual implementation will be worked on.Should our First Nations Leaders and our Climate Change Minister attend this meeting? So far Chris Bowen is not expected to attend.Let him know what you think:Contact Details for Chris Bowen:Email: chris.bowen.mp@aph.gov.auPhone: (02) 9604 0710 GuestsKumi Naidoo - President of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation TreatyAt the Santa Marta Conference the many ways we can achieve FF phase out will be explored. A TREATY is one.Oil rich states like East Timor and Colombia have signed but Australia has not.Australia has signed the Belem Declaration and  Kumi Naidoo wishes our  Climate Minister  the Honorable Chris Bowen good luck as the President of Negotiations for the next COP . Chris Bowen's role will be to advance the interests of the Pacific. Australia will have “exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations”, to shape  global decision making in support of the multilateral system and the  global trade and investment in clean energy industries. The results of this conference will feed into an October conference in the Pacific which will lead to COP31 at the end of the year.Kumi Naidoo also argues for climate action being action for peace. As Colombia's Environment Minister Irene Velez Torres said since the US attack on oil rich Venezuela "We are more sovereign if we are less dependent on exports that are carbon intensive"This is a volatile time to be getting real about fossil fuel phase out, but Kumi Naidoo uses  entertaining metaphors to dramatise our urgent need to "Turn off the tap" driving climate chaos. Here is Kumi Naidoo's ABC interview about his new book "What we owe the water."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdYwCSC_RUU Bastiaan Hassing - Programme Lead for the Netherlands at the Santa Marta Summit in ColombiaHe discusses HOW the countries who have already demonstrated a commitment to transition will work on realistic steps. Phasing out subsidies is one way.At COP30 in Belem The Climate Policy Minister of the Netherlands, Sophie Hermans, announced that they would co host with Colombia the First International conference on the phase out of fossil fuels. This is big news. It is outside the UN process but will feed into the next COP in Turkiye.The Netherlands  already leads a coalition of 13+countries committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Australia is not yet a member. We spend $14.5billion p/a which  greatly delays the transition to cleaner energy by lowering production costs and distorting the energy market. Gariduyla - Comment at the launch of a film about The Adani/Bravus coal mine and the Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodians who are protecting the waters of the Greatb Artesian Basin beneath it.A new documentary titled "Nagana Yarrbayn – The Water Protectors" focuses on the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) Cultural Custodians and their ongoing fight to protect their ancestral waters from Adani's Carmichael mine. Here are details about the film and its upcoming tour:About the Film: The documentary, produced by Kim Paul Nguyen in collaboration with W&J Cultural Custodians, follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba's efforts to protect his ancestral lands and the sacred Doongmabulla Springs. It highlights their journey through legal battles and public awareness campaigns against the mine.National Film Tour (March 2026): Premiere screenings are planned for four Australian cities in March 2026: Melbourne (March 19), Hobart (March 21), Sydney (March 26), and Brisbane (March 31).Special Appearances: Adrian Burragubba and his son Gurridyula are expected to attend screenings to discuss their fight for cultural rights.Support: Proceeds from the screenings will contribute to a legal fund dedicated to protecting the Doongmabulla Springs.How to Watch: Tickets are available through Humanitix. Options exist for hosting screenings or requesting free tickets for those facing financial barriers.

What can we learn from other countries that have lived through dictatorships? How can artists fight authoritarianism? How should an Oscar nominee react to an encounter with ICE on the way to the Academy Awards? Alex Wagner is joined by actor and filmmaker Wagner Moura, star of the Oscar-nominated The Secret Agent — a thrilling, beautiful film set during Brazil's military dictatorship. You may also remember Moura as Pablo Escobar from Narcos. Wagner and Wagner discuss the political parallels between Brazil and the United States, what Alex Pretti's killing teaches us about masculinity, and the Trump administration's distorted response to violence in the streets. They also talk about the importance of cultural memory, what the Epstein Files say about power, Trump's reaction to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, and the gutting of The Washington Post. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett will be back in your feeds this week.

Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear about a seedstock supplying partnership that works and works well.  Plus updates on beef imported from Argentina, market recaps, the ranch channel sales calendar and lots more all wrapped into this brand new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Industry Associations React To Beef Imported From Argentina President Trump issued a proclamation titled “Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American Consumer,” increasing the in-quota import of lean beef trimmings from Argentina by 80,000 metric tons in 2026 to help lower ground beef prices. U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) President Justin Tupper said the group has been engaged with the Administration since expanded imports were first proposed in October 2025. While USCA supports efforts to stabilize supply, Tupper emphasized that a strong domestic cattle industry is essential and warned that trade agreements must not undermine U.S. producers or supply integrity. Tupper expressed concern over the scale and origin of the imports, noting Argentina faces tight cattle supplies similar to the U.S. He said the roughly 400% increase should be treated as a one-time exception, not a precedent, and urged stronger rules of origin and labeling so consumers know where their beef comes from. R-CALF echoed these concerns, stating that past increases in beef imports from countries such as Argentina and Brazil failed to reduce consumer prices. Instead, they correlated with a shrinking U.S. cattle herd, fewer domestic producers, and ultimately higher beef prices.

Today we have Ziv Mador, VP of Security Research from LevelBlue SpiderLabs discussing their work on "SpiderLabs IDs New Banking Trojan Distributed Through WhatsApp." Researchers at LevelBlue SpiderLabs have identified a new Brazilian banking Trojan dubbed Eternidade Stealer, spread through WhatsApp hijacking and social engineering campaigns that use a Python-based worm to steal contacts and distribute malicious MSI installers. The Delphi-compiled malware targets Brazilian victims, profiles infected systems, dynamically retrieves its command-and-control server via IMAP email, and deploys banking overlays to harvest credentials from financial institutions and cryptocurrency platforms. The campaign reflects the continued evolution of Brazil's cybercrime ecosystem, combining WhatsApp propagation, geofencing, encrypted C2 communications, and process injection to maintain stealth and persistence.
