COMPADRES BURGERS, TALLER DE OFICIOS y JARDÍN SUCULENTO presentan WANZ Talks Edición Especial - WANZ Fest podcast INTELIGENCIA ERÓTICA La psicoterapeuta belga Esther Perel dice que el erotismo tiene que ver tanto con el misterio como con la planeación en el descubrimiento del placer corporal –no limitado al sexo o a la exploración genital– a través de los cinco sentidos. Aunado a ello, la inteligencia erótica promueve la conexión entre el erotismo, la creatividad y el uso de elementos que conduzcan a sensaciones placenteras. En este episodio, María Sexplica, Ale Lozano y Camila Escalante comparten diversos conocimientos en torno al erotismo y cómo éste se encuentra en cada uno de nosotros mismos. Nuestras fuentes de inspiración para provocar placer suelen centrarse en lo visual y en lo auditivo, pero en esta plática podremos encontrar nuevas maneras de disfrutar. La cannabis, por ejemplo, puede ser un aliado en este sentido ya que contiene componentes orgánicos que estimulan el cuerpo y aumentan el placer en las dosis adecuadas. El WANZ Talks Edición Especial: WANZ Fest Podcast son conversatorios para expandir la mente. Este cuarto episodio nos invita a escuchar a nuestros cuerpos y liberarnos de los prejuicios en el sexo.

Guest: author and journalist Joe Emersberger. You can find his work published at FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) and be sure to read his book Extraordinary Threat: The US Empire, the Media and Twenty Years of Coup Attempts in VenezuelaBACKGROUND:Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso survived an impeachment vote on Tuesday, June 28 after a left opposition party failed to rally other smaller groups in congress to oust him as his government moved to make concessions to defuse the political crisis. With only 80 of 137 lawmakers voting to remove Lasso, the impeachment attempt failed to clear the 92-vote hurdle needed to remove the president from office. Another 48 lawmakers rejected the motion, with nine abstaining after a session that lasted about 12 hours and included three voting attempts.A week later on Tuesday, July 5, Lasso appointed Pablo Arosemena, governor of Ecuador's Guayas province, as the Andean country's new minister of economy and finances, following the resignation of Simon Cueva, while also naming new ministers for transport, and urban development and housing.The appointments came hours after Lasso accepted Cueva's resignation, as well as those of former Health Minister Ximena Garzon and former Transport Minister Marcelo Cabrera.The changes follow a deal signed between the government and indigenous leaders to end demonstrations across the country last week. read moreFOLLOW OUR GUEST:FacebookTwitterADDITIONAL LINKS:The National Strike in Ecuador: A Socialist ReadingIn partnership with Common Frontiers, Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA), Friends of Latin America, Massachusetts Peace Action and Task Force on the Americas, original broadcasts of WTF is Going on in Latin America & the Caribbean can be viewed every Wednesday at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET on CODEPINK YouTube Live

Today more than ever, it is critical to support anti-imperialist media. With recent victories by the left in Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Honduras, US Imperialism is nervous. The response by the US Department of State to these recent elections in Latin America, discrediting the first two and only reluctantly embracing the latter, is proof that neo-colonial domination over the region remains very much at the center of US foreign policy.On today's program we're going to take a look at what goes into producing anti-imperialist media that is capable of striking back against the Empire.In the first segment, we will talk with VA's own Andreína Chávez, staff writer at Venezuela Analysis and our social media mastermind.We will also speak with Camila Escalante, a Latin America-based journalist who has played a key role in disseminating an anti-imperialist perspective through Kawsachun News.
