Podcasts about Colombia

Descubre la vida y el legado de Orlando Fals Borda, uno de los pensadores más influyentes de Colombia. En este episodio exploramos su aporte a las ciencias sociales, el nacimiento de la Investigación Acción Participativa, su relación con los movimientos sociales, su labor en la Constituyente del 91 y el impacto que todavía tiene en la forma como entendemos el territorio y la participación comunitaria. Un recorrido esencial para comprender el país desde sus raíces y desde las voces que históricamente no habían sido escuchadas. NOTAS DEL CAPÍTULO Vale la pena buscar de dónde salió la palabra "sentipensante", porque no nació en un libro, sino en una conversación con pescadores del río—andando por ahí se entiende mejor todo su pensamiento. Si quieren ir más hondo, revisen los materiales originales de Historia doble de la Costa: mapas, testimonios, dibujos, archivos… Es casi como ver cómo se arma una historia desde el terreno. Y para conectar con la Colombia de hoy, pueden explorar cómo la IAP sigue viva en proyectos comunitarios actuales; es sorprendente ver cómo ideas de hace décadas siguen apareciendo en territorios donde la gente se organiza y piensa el país desde lo local.   Sigue mis proyectos en otros lugares:  YouTube ➔ youtube.com/@DianaUribefm  Instagram ➔ instagram.com/dianauribe.fm Facebook ➔ facebook.com/dianauribe.fm Sitio web ➔ dianauribe.fm Twitter ➔ x.com/DianaUribefm  LinkedIn ➔ www.linkedin.com/in/diana-uribe    Gracias de nuevo a nuestra comunidad de patreon por apoyar la producción de este episodio.

El oro ha fascinado a la humanidad desde siempre por su brillo eterno y sus inigualables propiedades: no se oxida, no se corrompe y es muy dúctil. También es relativamente escaso. El oro se creó con el mismo universo. Al formarse la Tierra hace 4.500 millones de años, la mayor parte del oro se hundió en el núcleo. El que es accesible en la corteza llegó después con el “bombardeo tardío” de asteroides. Una serie de procesos hidrotermales lo concentraron en vetas y la erosión lo depositó en algunos ríos que es donde se empezó a extraer. El oro más antiguo conocido apareció en la necrópolis de Varna, en la actual Bulgaria. Data de la edad del cobre, de hace más de seis mil años, y consiste en ajuares funerarios reservados a la élite y asociados al poder y al más allá. Desde entonces su función pasó a ser simbólica, no utilitaria, ya que era demasiado blando para emplearse en la fabricación de herramientas. En el Antiguo Egipto creían que la carne de los dioses estaba hecha de oro. Se usaba en estatuas y en máscaras funerarias como la de Tutankamón. Pero los egipcios no tenían minas propias, lo tenían que importar de Nubia. Las cartas de Amarna muestran como en el segundo milenio antes de Cristo su uso ya estaba muy extendido y viajaba de un lado a otro. En la América prehispánica los incas lo llamaban “sudor del sol” y lo reservaban para ciertos rituales. Los muiscas de la actual Colombia crearon la tumbaga (una aleación oro y cobre) que empleaban en un ritual que originó la leyenda de El Dorado. En China, aunque el jade se consideraba superior, el oro formaba parte de los trajes funerarios de los emperadores. En Roma el oro se convirtió en la sangre de la economía. Los romanos se hicieron con grandes yacimientos en Hispania y Dacia, donde desarrollaron la minería a gran escala. Con ese oro acuñaron monedas como el aureus y el solidus, cuyo valor se mantuvo estable durante siglos. Pero era escaso, así que, desde la antigüedad fueron muchos los que intentaron fabricarlo transmutando metales viles como el plomo en oro. Nunca lo consiguieron, pero con sus repetidos fracasos estos alquimistas sentaron las bases de la química moderna. El descubrimiento y conquista de América abrió un nuevo capítulo en la historia del oro al tiempo que se globalizaba el comercio. La llegada de metales preciosos a España provocó inflación, pero también permitió que las monedas españolas de oro, los doblones de a 8, se convirtiesen en una suerte de divisa aceptada en cualquier parte del mundo por su abundancia y la fiabilidad de su peso y su ley. El siglo XIX vino acompañado de las grandes fiebres del oro. La de California en 1848 atrajo cientos de miles de aventureros que, en unos pocos años, extrajeron unas 800 toneladas transformando para siempre aquel Estado. Tras la de California hubo otras fiebres similares en Australia en 1851, en Sudáfrica en 1886 y a orillas del río Klondike, en Canadá, en 1897. En esa misma época el patrón oro posibilitó la expansión del comercio mundial y financió la revolución industrial. Ese patrón se reajustaría tras la segunda guerra mundial hasta que Richard Nixon lo eliminó por completo en 1971, inaugurando de paso la era del dinero fiduciario. Hoy el oro es, aparte de valor en sí mismo, una materia prima importantísima en sectores como el de la electrónica, la medicina y la exploración espacial. Desde el origen de los tiempos se han extraído poco más de 200.000 toneladas y cada año se extraen unas 3.000 toneladas. El oro sigue siendo escaso y deseado. Si hay oro en los fondos marinos o en los asteroides podemos estar seguros de que alguien irá hasta allí a buscarlo.

The administration escalates the naval campaign against Venezuela, seizing an oil tanker said to be carrying Venezuelan crude and telling Colombia's president "he's going to be next." Plus,  the president is asked to reconcile his promise to make America affordable again, with his claim that affordability is a Democratic hoax. How he answered, how he's dodging responsibility, and where that leaves him with voters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Estos son las noticias en el mundo y en Colombia en la Hora de la Verdad

La semana pasada Donald Trump sorprendió al anunciar el indulto al expresidente hondureño Juan Orlando Hernández, condenado a 45 años por narcotráfico. Se encargó de anunciarlo personalmente a través de Truth Social con una calurosa felicitación. Esto ocurrió dos días antes de las elecciones presidenciales en Honduras, que se celebraron el pasado día 30, lo que provocó cierto estupor entre los hondureños. Hernández, presidente del país entre 2014 y 2022, fue condenado el año pasado por un tribunal de Nueva York por colaborar con cárteles de la droga para introducir cientos de toneladas de cocaína en EEUU a cambio de sobornos millonarios. Honduras, en el corazón de la ruta centroamericana del narcotráfico, se transformó de este modo en tiempos de Hernández en un narcoestado. Las investigaciones de la DEA demostraron que recibió dinero en cooperación con familiares y altos cargos policiales para permitir el tránsito de drogas. No es la primera vez que sucede. El panameño Manuel Noriega y el guatemalteco Alfonso Portillo ya fueron juzgados y condenados en Estados Unidos hace años. El indulto de Hernández ha sido especialmente llamativo ya que se produjo en la recta final de la campaña electoral, una campaña en la que Trump manifestó su preferencia por uno de los candidatos, Tito Asfura, un conservador del Partido Nacional (el mismo de Hernández) y exalcalde de Tegucigalpa. Dijo de él que es “el único verdadero amigo de la Libertad en Honduras” y condicionó la ayuda estadounidense a su victoria. Durante su primer mandato Trump mantuvo una muy buena relación con Hernández, un político muy astuto que durante sus años en la presidencia se trabajó buenos contactos entre los políticos de Washington y los empresarios e inversores estadounidenses de California. A estos últimos les ofreció zonas especiales dentro del país que tendrían unas condiciones favorables para facilitar la inversión. Algunas se llegaron a poner el marcha, pero aquel esquema, denominado ZEDE, se interrumpió con la llegada de la izquierdista Xiomara Castro al poder en 2022. La investigación sobre las actividades ilícitas de Hernández había comenzado años antes, en la época de Obama, y continuó con Trump. Extraditado en 2022 tras dejar el poder, cumplía su condena en un penal de Virginia Occidental. El indulto, gestado en Mar-a-Lago, ha sido el resultado final de una campaña muy intensa de cabildeo que encabezó Roger Stone, el famoso consultor político y confidente personal de Trump. Stone persuadió al presidente de que sería a un golpe para Castro y mejoraría la suerte de los inversores estadounidenses en Honduras. El hecho es que Hernández ya era muy impopular en Honduras y allí no ha terminado de entenderse. Tampoco en Estados Unidos, donde muchos ven en esto una contradicción ya que, por un lado, está sitiando a Maduro tras acusarle de narcotráfico, mientras que, por otro, indulta a un narcotraficante condenado. Todo en medio de unas elecciones que están resultando mucho más difíciles y divisivas de lo que se esperaba.

Badlands Media brings full, uninterrupted coverage of the December 11 White House Press Briefing, where Press Secretary Caroline Sunshine delivers a wide-ranging update on the Trump administration's economic, border, and national-security agenda. Sunshine opens by touting sharp declines in inflation, rising real wages, and major drops in gas prices, arguing that President Trump has reversed the “affordability crisis” created under Biden. She highlights record-low border encounters, including seven straight months of zero releases, and frames the administration's policies as the most successful security turnaround in modern history. Reporters press her on the Venezuelan oil-tanker seizure, Operation Southern Spear, Trump's comments on childcare affordability, expiring Obamacare subsidies, Fed chair candidates, Nvidia chip exports to China, and escalating foreign-policy tensions in Asia, Gaza, and Colombia. Sunshine repeatedly contrasts Trump's results with Democratic policies, pushes back on legacy-media narratives, and stresses ongoing efforts on healthcare, drug prices, trade, and sanctions enforcement. A tense, fast-moving briefing that showcases the administration's messaging, media battles, and the geopolitical pressures shaping Trump's second term.

This episode took the air out of the room.Jessica sits down with Urban Valor and walks us through the life most people never see behind the uniform. From a childhood surrounded by chaos and addiction… to stepping into a Marine Corps environment that felt more like danger than brotherhood… to losing herself inside a bottle just trying to cope with the weight of everything she'd carried since childhood.She gets real about the DUI that nearly ended her career, the harassment she endured, the blackmail that pushed her to the edge, and the moment she realized the system that was supposed to protect her was ready to burn her instead.And then — she takes us into the deep end.Her ibogaine journey.The pain.The hallucinations.The emotional rebirth.The moment she met the child version of herself and finally understood why she drank, why she ran, and why she hurt.This might be one of the most important conversations we've had with a veteran. Not because it's dramatic — but because it's honest.

Este episodio está dedicado a la vida de María Cano, una de las mujeres más inspiradoras de Colombia. Fue condecorada con el título de la "Flor del Trabajo" gracias a la admiración que despertó entre sus congéneres, y su papel como pionera en el socialismo, el activismo obrero, y el feminismo en los años 20 y 30 fue crucial. Mucho falta por explorar acerca de su legado intelectual y la historia de su pensamiento, pero es un hecho que sin ella el nacimiento del movimiento de izquierda y las luchas por los derechos laborales en Colombia hubiese sido muy diferente. Te invitamos a compartir y explorar la vida de esta mujer de carne y hueso, que vivió en uno de los momentos más claves para la historia social de nuestro país, y cuyo legado la convirtió en ícono. Notas del episodio  Te recomendamos una de las mejores biografías sobre la vida de María Cano, escrita por Beatriz Helena Robledo,  La Virgen Roja. Si tienes ganas de explorar el pensamiento de este ícono colombiano, te invitamos a consultar el libro María Cano, 1887-2007 "Una voz de mujer les grita", de la Escuela Nacional Sindical si lo que buscas es comprender la relación que María Cano tuvo con la lectura y la educación, te invitamos a consultar el artículo académico "María Cano y su múltiple relación con el libro" de Luis Ignacio Sandoval Moreno, del Libro "Levántate y Marcha". Si quieres comprender su legado político y su papel en el establecimiento del poder femenino, consulta el Artículo académico "María Cano, un ejemplo a seguir", de Piedad Gallor. Revistas Javeriana.

Is time running out for Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro? Christiane asks Colombia's former president Ivan Duque why he supports Trump's aggressive stance against the country next door. And while the U.S. president has his eye on Latin America, the White House is snubbing Europe again, opting not to send Secretary of State Marco Rubio to a NATO foreign minister meeting. Julianne Smith, former US Ambassador to NATO, speaks to Christiane about transatlantic tension, and those marathon peace talks between Trump's team and Putin that appeared to produce nothing.  Plus, Oedipus on Broadway! Christiane speaks to stars Lesley Manville and Mark Strong about modernizing the 2,5000-year-old Greek tragedy, and playing a mother and son in love. From the archives, we revisit a 1988 mutiny in a New Jersey monastery, and remember legendary playwright Tom Stoppard.   Air date: December 6, 2025   Guests: Ivan Duque Julianne Smith Lesley Manville & Mark Strong Learn more about your ad choices.

We're back with an annual tradition of wrapping up the good & the bad of real estate in 2025, and the prediction pod of 2026.  I am here with my good friend Elkin Serna,  Elkin is voted the “Best Realtor in the USA” by his daughter and is the principal of the Serna Team here in NYC.  He is a 9-time NYC Marathon Runner and part of the prestigious Real Trends 2025 by sales volume. I have had the pleasure of knowing for almost 2 decades in the real estate business.  Born in Colombia and a New Yorker since age 10, Elkin brings that Wall Street grit from a decade in finance before joining the brokerage world.  Elkin & I first met at a showing for one of the portfolios I represented in Midtown Manhattan. Eventually, I worked in the same office at the now-defunct brokerage TOWN Real Estate, once located here at 110 5th Avenue.  Please follow Elkin on the socials @elkinjserna

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.  https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20   the national debt.

These developments come as Maduro appeared before a crowd near the presidential palace, affirming his “absolute loyalty” to the Venezuelan people, surrounded by senior officials in his government.

Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is becoming increasingly isolated as regional governments shift away from Chavismo and move closer to Washington. Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro.  Honduras   Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix's airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime.  Maduro's remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance.

Bessent says White House may ‘veto’ Federal Reserve presidents   Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday he would push a new requirement that the Federal Reserve’s regional bank presidents live in their districts for at least three years before taking office, a move that could give the White House more power over the independent agency.  Bessent said that “there is a disconnect with the framing of the Federal Reserve” and added that, “unless someone has lived in their district for three years, we’re going to veto them.” Source: msn.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1995954684859941373?s=20   In a July 2025 interview, Hassett highlighted the Fed’s origins under the gold standard in 1913 to critique current practices: “When the Federal Reserve was created, we were under the Gold Standard—and the idea that the Fed could print money and then spend $2.5B on a building… I think that we’ve got a real problem of oversight and excess spending.”   This aligns with sound money ideals, where gold symbolizes disciplined, non-inflationary currency, but he stops short of calling for reinstatement.  Monetary economist Judy Shelton (author of Good as Gold) praised Hassett in July 2025 for referencing the gold standard, noting it as a reminder that “Fed has a lot to answer for” in deviating from that era’s stability.  Hassett views Bitcoin as “digital gold” for its scarcity and hedge qualities—echoing sound money without physical backing.

OUTRAGE: Minneapolis Police Chief Urges Somali Community to Dial 911 on Masked ICE Agents — Promises Cops Will “Intervene” Against Federal Arrests Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara speaks at a press conference alongside city officials as he urges Somali residents to call 911 on masked individuals Police leadership in Minneapolis is urging the city's Somali community, and other immigrant residents, to call 911 if they spot masked individuals detaining people in their neighborhoods. He urged community members to call 911 if they were unsure whether those enforcing arrests were legitimate law enforcement — and pledged MPD would investigate and log every such call. He did not stop at documentation, however. “If there is anything that is … a violation of someone's human rights or civil rights, excessive force or anything like that, they absolutely have a duty to intervene as police officers,” O'Hara declared. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1995956308902879320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1995956308902879320%7Ctwgr%5E19002c76c52297fc2dd58664d00870448c39f149%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Foutrage-minneapolis-police-chief-urges-somali-community-dial%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com UNREAL: Mayor Jacob Frey Declares He Won't Cooperate With ICE… and Suddenly Starts Speaking Somali to His Audience Mid-Speech Minneapolis far-left Mayor Jacob Frey abruptly shifted a public address into Somali, all while promising that city police will refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

The plan was simple on paper – use immobilized Russian funds as collateral for loans to keep Ukraine afloat. But Belgium is the custodian of the largest chunk of those assets. If something goes wrong, they're the ones holding the radioactive bag. This isn't some bureaucratic squabble. It's the EU's financing strategy cracking in real time. Prévot's pushback signals the core fear: If Europe touches Russian state money without watertight legal armor, Moscow retaliates – economically, diplomatically, and possibly through countersanctions on European firms. And here's the thing: the Commission thought it had majority backing. Belgium saying “nope” on the morning of rollout is a political body-slam. Happening next? The EU will scramble to rewrite the legal plumbing. Germany and France will pressure Belgium quietly – nobody wants to admit the plan is wobbling. Russia will weaponize the hesitation as proof the West can't agree on how to bankroll Ukraine. And Kyiv? Still waiting for the money that was supposed to be “already there.” Another example of Europe discovering that seizing assets is easy. Using them? That's where the real war begins.    Ursula von der Leyen did not state that she received “permission” from the US to seize Russian assets. In a recent appearance at the GLOBSEC forum, she said that she informed the incoming Trump administration (specifically mentioning a conversation with Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent) about the EU’s proposal to use frozen Russian assets as collateral for a “reparations loan” to Ukraine, and that “it was positively received.” https://twitter.com/briefing_block_/status/1996241939931201801?s=20 https://twitter.com/Dubinsky_pro/status/1996242036417028176?s=20  regime.

This collaboration brought us together and still holds the promise of lowering insurance premiums.” Paul noted the plan failed because Democrat AGs fought it in court, but it could now pass through Congress. Here’s why this matters: the current system forces individuals to buy insurance alone, giving them zero bargaining power against massive insurance companies. Association Health Plans let people band together through retailers or organizations to negotiate as a group, the same way large corporations do for their employees. More buyers in a pool means more leverage. More leverage means lower premiums. It costs nothing to implement and simply changes labor law. Competition works.

Mark Kelly and other former military and intelligence community members now in Congress posted a video calling on active service members to refuse illegal orders. This happened while the Trump administration contines to strike alleged “drug boats” in the Caribbean and the Pacific. At the same time, a former Afghan child soldier shot two members of the West Virginia National Guard at a metro station in Washington DC. The shooter had been part of a “Zero Unit”, an Afghan death squad, that was backed by the Central Intelligence Agency. These incidents show the tension building between military-civilian-intelligence agency relations. In our latest, we dive deep into the conflict between Senator Mark Kelly and the Trump administration. We also discuss Hegseth's war on the Pentagon and how war crimes against people off the coasts of Venezuela and Colombia. And then we get into the background of the DC shooter and the blowback created by CIA backed militias in Afghanistan. Please listen in to this important discussion about U.S. military-civilian relations. -----------------------------------------
