We recorded this episode across Friday afternoon and deep into the evening inside the Blue Zone at COP30. At the time of publishing, there is still no final deal. The negotiations are ongoing, positions are shifting, and the outcome remains uncertain. We know that by the time you listen, some of what we heard today may already have changed, but we decided there was value in sharing the day with you. This episode is meant as a time capsule.We wanted to bring you inside the atmosphere of a COP Friday: the outrage, the optimism, the urgency, and the sheer human effort that goes into trying to land a deal. Rather than wait for the dust to settle, we spoke to the people living this moment. City leaders. Climate diplomats. Ministers from the front lines. Seasoned negotiators who've been in this process for decades. Activists still fighting for the best possible outcome for the planet. Their perspectives were captured as they were living this day, not in hindsight.This episode captures the feeling of a COP Friday: the confusion, the determination, the fear of losing ambition, and the belief, still alive in many corners, that progress is possible if countries choose it.With thanks to those who spoke with us:Eric Garcetti, former US Ambassador to India and former mayor of LA Mark Watts, CEO of C40Matt Webb, Associate Director for Global Clean Power Diplomacy, E3GGustavo Pinheiro, Senior Associate, E3GIrene Velez Torres, Colombian Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development and head of the Colombian delegationDr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Ghanian Negotiator and incoming head of Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN)Giovanni Maurice Pradipta, Foundation for Sustainability
Cartagena, Colombia. Today, we're heading to Cartagena, Colombia —a vibrant and touristy Caribbean city bursting with color, music, and history. It's one of the most popular destinations on South America's northern coast — and I'll share my experiences and a few lessons learned for solo travelers like you. Get ready to immerse yourself in a culture that's as lively as it is rich. Let's start with the setting. Cartagena's Walled City — La Ciudad Amurallada — is the heart of it all. I recommend exploring early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and the heat. You can pick up a free map at your hostel or a tourist stand. Inside the walls, you'll find cobblestone streets, cannons facing the sea, and church courtyards like San Pedro Claver, where you can sit in the shade and people-watch. For sunset, head to the top of the wall near Café del Mar — it's a magical view of the Caribbean, and you'll see locals and travelers gathered for that golden glow. I stayed in the Getsemaní neighborhood, at Viajero Hostel, a lively, social spot just outside the walled city. It had a tiny rooftop pool — perfect for cooling off in Cartagena's humidity — and a friendly mix of travelers. My room was simple, a six-bed dorm, stuffy and windowless, but safe and well-located. The price? About $17 a night — great value for budget-minded travelers. Getsemaní itself is known for its street art and music. Don't miss Calle de la Sierpe, where colorful murals tell stories of resistance and community. The nightlife here is vibrant — karaoke, fireworks, and salsa music spill into the streets. But if you're not a night owl, bring earplugs and enjoy it from a distance. One day, I took a day trip to Playa Tranquila on Barú Island, about an hour and a half from the city. It started rough — a confusing pickup process, language barriers, and a lot of waiting around, like for two hours. I felt a bit like a piece of furniture being moved from one driver to another. Eventually, things smoothed out. I met some friendly couples from Mexico and Colombia. The weather turned rainy, and we all got soaked, but when the sun came out, it was worth it. At Playa Tranquila, the water was calm, the food was fresh — fish, rice, salad, and plantains — and the atmosphere was relaxed. Swimming and snorkeling were okay, though there wasn't much to see underwater. It was a stormy day. Still, it was a lovely escape from the busy city. Note: Some beaches, such as Bocagrande, are crowded and urban in nature. For a quieter experience, try Castillo Grande or take a guided tour to the nearby fishing villages, such as La Boquilla. For safety, a few quick reminders: Take taxis or ride-shares — don't walk alone at night. Avoid hiking solo — especially to places like La Popa Monastery, where you should always take a cab. Stay hydrated and take breaks indoors during midday heat. And remember, Cartagena can feel intense — lots of vendors, noise, and attention — but also warm, welcoming, and full of life. In the end, Cartagena taught me, Dr. Travelbest, patience, flexibility, and how to stay cool — literally and figuratively. Would I go again? Maybe, but next time I'd choose my tours more carefully and build in more downtime. It's hot, touristy, but authentically Caribbean, and for solo women, it's a destination that builds confidence one humid, colorful day at a time. Tips: Safety: Cartagena is one of Colombia's safest cities for tourists, but it's recommended to stay in well-lit areas and use registered taxis or Uber. For solo senior women, it's advisable to avoid walking alone at night and to stay in well-reviewed accommodations. Hydration: Bring a reusable water bottle; it's very humid. Money: Use small bills; many shops prefer cash (Colombian pesos). Language: Basic Spanish helps, but most tour operators and hotel staff speak English. Pacing: Afternoon breaks indoors (12–3 pm) are ideal — locals rest during the heat. Smart Move and Slip-up pairings Bring the address of the place you are staying. I got lost in Cartagena and did not have the exact address of my hostel. I knew better, but thought I wouldn't need it. I was mistaken. It would have saved me a lot of stress to have the photo of the address on my phone, rather than what I actually had, which was very little. Having the address on a piece of paper is a smart move. On the other hand, a slip-up would be not having a backup plan if your phone runs out of battery or loses signal. 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

A severed leg, a shark selfie gone wrong, and a toupee full of cocaine—this episode might be the strangest one yet!I dive straight into chaos as I unpack the California man who walked off with a severed leg after a deadly train collision, a scene so bizarre it broke the internet with its disturbing viral video. From there, I head to Florida, where TSA officers uncovered a handgun stuffed inside a raw chicken, raising the question of whether people are getting dumber or more creative at airport security. Things get even wilder as I cover the Canadian tourist in Turks and Caicos who lost both hands trying to photograph a shark, a reminder that wildlife isn't interested in selfies. I break down the Colombian man caught smuggling cocaine under his toupee, Hertz charging a Tesla driver for “refueling,” a Las Vegas man who claimed aliens told him to kill his father, and a Florida roommate attacked with pizza dough. I wrap up with turtles in pants, a laundromat dismemberment destined for a casino, a bomb plot complete with python plans, a fart spray school evacuation, and over 100 animals living in a New Jersey home. Strange news doesn't get stranger than this, and I'm here for every insane detail.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE STORIES!Send me an email: feedback AT newswithbill DOT comLeave a voicemail or text the show on the NWB hotline: 209-854-4620SUPPORT THE SHOW!Help NWB out: https://ko-fi.com/newswithbillSOCIALS:Instagram: @newswithbillX/Twitter: @newswithbillWebsite: www.newswithbill.comBe sure to rate and review the show wherever you listen to podcasts, and most importantly...

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves. Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia: The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them. Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence: Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination. Chile Rejects the Far Left: Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline. The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt: Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists. What a Socialist America Would Look Like: Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Venezuela USS Gerald Ford, Maduro cartel de los soles terrorism, Gustavo Petro M-19 Colombia strikes, Mexico City cartel protests Claudia Sheinbaum, Michoacan mayor assassination cartel teen, Chile election Jose Kast Jeanne Jara, Democratic Socialists of America 2012 document, DSA seize means of production, Mamdani AOC Democratic Party strategy
In this episode of One Decision In Brief, hosts Kate McCann and Sir Ben Wallace, former UK Defence Secretary, break down President Donald Trump's latest moves in Venezuela, including threatening military strikes and offering Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a chance for talks. The two consider the regional consequences of military action, including Cuba's political reliance on Venezuela and the Latin American drug supply chain. Sir Ben shares how Venezuelan and Colombian drug operatives are now learning high-stakes defense technology. Plus, Kate asks Sir Ben whether the UK Prime Minister should ask Trump not to sue the BBC, and if Trump should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios.

This week I'm shattering preconceived notions that Indigenous Americans north of Mexico didn't build cities. That they organized, instead, into only small, nomadic villages. Because, for around 800 years there was a great city, the largest pre-Colombian city north of Mexico, a city that, if you were to have visited in the year 1200, is theorized to have been larger than both London and Paris at that same time. In fact, it held the record for largest city in the now United States for almost 700 years from around 1100 until Philadelphia broke the record in the 1780s. I'm talking about the city of Cahokia which sprawled along the Mississippi River in southern Illinois, a testament to the true scale, potential, and abilities of Indigenous Americans in what is now the United States.

From jungle guerrilla warfare to frozen trenches: why did they leave and will they ever return? The story of the Colombian soldiers choosing to fight in the war in Ukraine. 'We heard the Ukranian President's SOS call" says Castaño, a soldier in his early 30s who paid for his own flight from Colombia to fight in the war in Ukraine. He's not the only one, Colombians are said to outnumber any other nationality of those foreigners who have volunteered to fight. They've even promoted a Colombian to the rank of Sergeant so he can help process the huge numbers of Latino recruits who don't speak any Ukrainian. Some soldiers we meet have already made a huge sacrifice for a country that's not their own and are learning to walk with new prosthetic limbs. But they're not just drawn to Ukraine to help, a range of factors in Colombia have pushed many soldiers to leave, not least low pay and a feeling that a job in the Colombian Army is no longer worth it. Marco Pereira travels around Ukraine talking to Colombian soldiers to find out why they have chosen to fight in a punishing war so far from home.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

What if the secret to growth isn't chasing the next trend—but carrying a dream with enough grit to outlast them? In this episode, Adriana Castro shares how she turned Colombian craftsmanship and business discipline into a timeless accessories brand. Leaving a safe corporate path for design school, she transformed professors into mentors and built her first collection—and its production—from the ground up in Barranquilla. Adriana breaks down her hybrid strategy of pairing indigenous natural fibers with noble, long-lasting materials, and how stewardship programs like “certificates of adoption” can give accessories deeper meaning and legacy.The conversation gets real about pricing, margins, and the danger of designing aspirationally without scale. Adriana opens up about balancing passion projects with profitability, identifying her true customer through data, and letting hero products carry the brand. From Sarah Jessica Parker rewearing the Eva Clutch to navigating the mental health side of entrepreneurship, Adriana's story is both grounded and inspiring—a reminder that longevity comes from clarity, consistency, and care.

The Colombian diet
Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has just closed a triumphant homecoming, performing the final Colombian dates of her Women Dont Cry Anymore tour. Her sold-out Bogotá show sparked headlines as the superstar shared the stage with the Women's Philharmonic of Bogotá and delivered an emotional message, declaring there is nothing like playing at home and thanking her country for their love. Colombian outlets are buzzing about the massive economic impact of the tour, which drew over 370 thousand fans across Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cali, and Medellín according to coverage by Eastern Nazarene College and local media.The tour itself has become record-breaking. According to Billboard, Shakira was just named the highest-grossing female Latin touring artist in music history, grossing more than 327 million dollars so far with over 2.5 million tickets sold—and the run is not over yet. This accomplishment was recognized at the Billboard Live Music Summit where she was awarded the inaugural Global Touring Icon prize, a career-defining moment that made music industry headlines. Video of her emotional acceptance speech has been trending across social platforms and music news, with Shakira thanking her fans and crew for helping her make history and saying she feels like she is only just getting started.Despite a handful of reschedulings and last-minute logistical challenges, Shakira's team has managed to keep momentum strong. Performance innovations including elaborate stage design, high-tech CGI interludes, and unique collaborations—for example, performing La Pared with the Bogotá Philharmonic—have been praised by fans and critics, noted on Wikipedia's running log as well as major outlets like Marca. Production costs approaching three million dollars per concert reportedly make this the most ambitious tour of her career.

My guest on today's episode, Juan Pablo Guzman, shared how his sister's health struggles inspired the family to reconnect with real food, creating snacks that nourish both people and the planet.“Our whole family went on this collective journey of reconnecting to real food,” Juan explained, adding, “We became passionate about using food as a way to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet.” Artisan Tropic launched in 2014 with plantain and cassava chips and recently expanded to include grain-free crackers made from cassava and plantain flour.But Artisan Tropic is about more than just snacks. Juan's commitment to sustainability and regenerative agriculture sets the company apart. He described their efforts to work directly with small farmers in Colombia, implementing farming practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and fair wages. “Regenerative agriculture is really just doing things the way our grandparents did them,” he said. “It's farming in a way that supports life on the farm—soil life, plant life, and biodiversity.”In 2021, Artisan Tropic piloted a regenerative farming project on a family farm, integrating crops like plantain, cacao, and coffee. Now, through a partnership with Acceso, Artisan Tropic is scaling this model, supporting over 4,000 farmers with technical training, small loans, and guaranteed crop markets. “Within two years of working with Acceso, farmers are making twice as much as they used to,” Juan noted.Artisan Tropic is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. The funds will help the company expand its retail presence with partners like Whole Foods and Costco. “What better way to put your money to work,” Juan asked, “not just for a financial return, but also for the triple impact that your investment unlocks in our supply system?”Listening to Juan's story, it's hard not to feel inspired. Artisan Tropic is more than a brand—it's a movement toward healthier snacks, sustainable farming, and a better future.tl;dr:Artisan Tropic began as a family mission to heal through real food and better nutrition.The company uses regenerative agriculture, supporting small farmers and sustainable farming practices in Colombia.Artisan Tropic's snacks, including plantain chips and grain-free crackers, prioritize health and sustainability.Juan Guzman's family values and love drive the company's mission and commitment to future generations.Artisan Tropic is crowdfunding on WeFunder to scale operations and expand its triple-impact model.How to Develop Love for Family As a SuperpowerJuan Guzman's superpower is his deep love for family, which drives his personal and professional life.

While living in New Mexico, he and his sister dreamed of being closer as a family. When Juan moved to Dallas, his sister, her family, and their parents followed, creating a close-knit community where their children could grow up together. “There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing the cousins playing together,” he said.

“I wanted to connect people, my brand, to Colombia and to really just bring a more beautiful part of Colombia than what everybody knows Colombia for.” - Bibiana Gonzáles Rave, Cattleya WinesNew Sip Sip Hooray pod ep! The Marys chat with Bibiana González Rave, a force of nature in the world of wine.Bibiana's first sip of wine at age 11 led to a life in wine. At age 14 she declared she would be a winemaker. Even though wine was not grown or made in her native Colombia, she was determined to pursue her teenage dream of becoming a winemaker. A detour to studying chemical engineering didn't deter her.Bibiana followed a calling that led her across continents. She talked her way into a French enology school after 11 rejection letters, and built a career spanning nearly 30 harvests across France, South Africa, and California.Her wines pay homage to her Colombian roots while reflecting the soul of the California vineyards she works with. Bibiana is also a member of one of the most beloved wine families, the Pisonis, who produced coveted wines from California's Santa Lucia Highlands. In fact, when she first met Gary Pisoni, her father-in-law to be, he read her astrological chart and made a bold prediction. We'll get the behind-the-scenes story on all that. But Bibiana has her own voice behind her Cattleya label, and we're thrilled she's here to share her story today.

In this explosive episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins dives deep into one of the most complex and mysterious figures of the Cold War era—Ricardo “Monkey” Morales, a Cuban exile whose life intersected with the CIA, the anti-Castro underground, Las Vegas mobsters, and even the JFK assassination. Gary welcomes Rick Morales Jr., son of Monkey Morales, and author Sean Oliver, co-writer of the new book Monkey Morales: The True Story of a Mythic Cuban Exile Assassin, CIA Operative, FBI Informant, Smuggler, and Dad. Together, they unravel the incredible life of a man who was at once a patriot, a spy, and a killer. Rick recounts growing up in Miami's Little Havana, where his father's shadow loomed large—rumored to have ties to the JFK assassination and known for his secret missions across the world. From escaping Cuba as a disillusioned Castro loyalist to training as part of the CIA's Operation 40 assassination unit, Monkey Morales lived a life that reads like a spy thriller. Sean Oliver walks listeners through Monkey's covert missions in Africa's Congo, his deep ties to other operatives like Frank Sturgis and Barry Seal, and the secret wars that connected Cuban exiles, the CIA, and organized crime. The conversation also explores how Monkey became entangled with Lefty Rosenthal, the Chicago Outfit's Las Vegas gambling mastermind, and how his bomb-making skills were used in mob turf wars across Florida. The discussion culminates with Morales Jr.'s chilling memory of his father confessing he was in Dallas on the day President Kennedy was shot—and that he had seen Lee Harvey Oswald in a CIA training camp. Whether you believe Morales was a hero, a villain, or both, his story weaves through some of the darkest and most intriguing chapters of 20th-century American history.

Chuck Todd breaks down the latest NBC News poll, which paints a grim picture for both parties — and especially for Donald Trump’s second term. With only 37% of Americans believing the country is on the right track and financial pessimism at record highs, the public seems to have made up its mind: Trump 2.0 isn’t winning new fans. Chuck examines how Republicans are holding stronger favorability than Trump himself, why immigration remains his only issue advantage, and what Democrats can learn from the midterm mood. As two-thirds of voters say they’re falling behind, Chuck argues that the path to victory this cycle may depend on who runs against Washington — not just who runs it. Then, Rich Thau, moderator of the Swing Voter Project joins Chuck Todd to dig into what America’s elusive swing voters are really thinking heading into 2028. Thau, known for his in-depth focus group research, explains how his team identifies true persuadable voters and what he’s hearing from them behind closed doors — from deep economic anxiety to their conflicted feelings about both Trump and Harris. He shares why many voters still give Trump credit for “doing something,” why Biden’s messaging never landed, and how gender and race remain stubborn barriers for Democratic candidates. Chuck and Rich also explore how social media has replaced traditional news, why most swing voters can’t name a single Biden accomplishment, and how reform ideas like limiting presidential pardons or setting age caps for candidates could reshape American politics. It’s an eye-opening look at how frustrated, distracted, and disillusioned voters might once again decide the direction of the country. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to examine America’s role in creating the country of Panama and why it’s left a lasting sense of suspicion of the United States in Latin America. He answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and unloads on his Miami Hurricanes after their loss to SMU. Got injured in an accident?

Chuck Todd breaks down the latest NBC News poll, which paints a grim picture for both parties — and especially for Donald Trump’s second term. With only 37% of Americans believing the country is on the right track and financial pessimism at record highs, the public seems to have made up its mind: Trump 2.0 isn’t winning new fans. Chuck examines how Republicans are holding stronger favorability than Trump himself, why immigration remains his only issue advantage, and what Democrats can learn from the midterm mood. As two-thirds of voters say they’re falling behind, Chuck argues that the path to victory this cycle may depend on who runs against Washington — not just who runs it. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to examine America’s role in creating the country of Panama and why it’s left a lasting sense of suspicion of the United States in Latin America. He answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and unloads on his Miami Hurricanes after their loss to SMU. Got injured in an accident?

In this gripping episode, Johnny sits down with security expert Ed Calderon to break down the brewing storm across Latin America — from U.S. military posturing near Venezuela to narco-terrorism, drone warfare, and covert operations in Mexico. Ed warns that the “War on Drugs” is being rebranded as a war on narco-terror, granting governments new powers while blurring the lines between criminals, rebels, and civilians. They discuss how cartels are adopting drone and submarine tech, how Colombian mercenaries are shaping global conflicts, and why Mexico may already have U.S. boots on the ground. From fentanyl myths to Venezuelan oil politics, rare-earth resources, and the future of North American geopolitics, this episode dives deep into the shadow war few are talking about. -U.S. and Venezuela tensions -Covert ops and “narco-terrorism” narrative -Drone and submarine warfare by cartels -Rare-earths, oil, and geopolitical motives -Mexico's internal corruption and militarization -Predictions for a continental conflict Go Support Ed!
