A semeadura direta do amendoim na palha já superou a fase de prova de conceito, mas sua adoção ainda esbarra em medo, manejo e planejamento. Nesta conversa com Denizart Bolonhezi, a pesquisa de 25 anos encontra a realidade do campo para discutir máquinas, estande, fertilidade, erosão, matéria orgânica, custos e qualidade do grão. O episódio mostra por que o plantio direto precisa ser tratado como sistema de produção — integrado à cana, à braquiária e à assistência técnica — e aponta caminhos práticos para reduzir riscos, preservar o solo e ganhar estabilidade sem vender a ilusão de uma solução única para todo produtor rural.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane records from the Michigan studio on the one year anniversary of losing the show’s original host, Todd Cochrane. The featured story is Anthropic’s $5 million grant program, which pays outside researchers to measure whether AI is actually good for the people using it. Ray also covers Anthropic’s Enterprise Frontier Safeguards, Google’s Fairwind cyber defense program, Meta’s organizational second brain, sixteen green AI projects across Asia-Pacific, an Oklahoma Bitcoin mine condemned after leaking 3.8 million gallons of water, BepiColombo closing in on Mercury, and the 2026 Ig Nobel Prizes. – Want to start a podcast?

The family has gathered for the occasion. He also plans to record several episodes throughout the week as a commemorative run, so listeners should expect a heavier release schedule than usual. He also shares where things stand. He and Delaney have gone back and forth on relocating to Michigan, but the family is pushing, and the plan is firming up for the coming month or so. Part of the draw is getting his dad’s studio cleaned up and running the way it used to. Finally, he passes along an update on the Zuvers, a story long-time listeners will recognize. The father of the three children is due out of jail soon, though he now faces retrial for the murder of the three boys. Cochrane notes that the original prison term related to their return rather than the murders themselves. The family’s expectation, he says, is that this time the sentence will be permanent. Anthropic Puts $5 Million Behind Measuring AI’s Effect on You The featured story asks a question the industry has mostly avoided. Not whether a model is smart, but whether you are better off after using it. Anthropic is funding independent research to find out, and the structure is the interesting part. The money creates what the field calls evaluations: standardized tests for AI models. Hundreds already exist for coding, math, and reasoning. However, almost none measure whether the tool is good for the human on the other end. Crucially, Anthropic is not building these tests in-house. Grantees receive funding, model access and technical support, then work fully independently. Everything they produce must be published open source, so any developer at any company can run it. As Cochrane puts it, Anthropic is paying to create a ruler other people will use to measure Anthropic. The example Anthropic leads with is deliberately uncomfortable. Claude might offer diet and workout advice to someone asking about weight loss. But if that user has a history of disordered eating, the same response becomes actively harmful. Cochrane connects this to sycophancy, a topic the show has returned to before, and notes that models carry no real memory of who you are unless you tell them. That is exactly why the problem has gone unmeasured. Code compiles or it doesn’t. Math checks out or it doesn’t. Wellbeing has no answer key, because the identical response can help one person and harm the next. The Five Things Anthropic Wants These Tests to Do Cochrane walks through all five criteria, since each targets a specific way this research usually fails. First, state plainly what you are measuring. It is easy to measure something adjacent, such as how often a model uses warm language, then publish numbers about a proxy while claiming insight into loneliness itself. Second, involve clinicians and subject-matter experts in designing and validating the tests. A capable engineer may simply not know what the warning signs of an eating disorder look like in text. Without those people in the room, the test measures what engineers imagine the harm looks like. Third, count overcompliance and overrefusal as harms. Overcompliance is the obvious failure. Overrefusal is the model becoming so cautious it turns useless, or shutting down someone who had nowhere else to ask. Cochrane adds that overrefusal is far harder to spot, because you often cannot tell it is degrading until it has degraded. Fourth, reflect real multi-turn usage. Most safety testing throws one nasty question at a model and checks for refusal. Meanwhile, actual harm builds across a long conversation where every individual message reads as fine. Fifth, validate the automated graders against real experts. Scoring thousands of conversations means an AI grades the AI. Consequently, a subtly wrong grader skews every downstream number in the same direction, and nothing in the process flags it. Cochrane expects this to be the hardest criterion to satisfy, since psychiatric and medical specialists do not come cheap by the hour.

Anthropic’s Enterprise Frontier Safeguards Keep Your Logs in Your Vault Anthropic’s second announcement targets a completely different audience. Catching misuse across many sessions requires keeping logs. However, banks and hospitals cannot hand that data to an outside vendor, because regulators will not allow it. Safety monitoring and compliance were in direct conflict. The fix moves where the data lives. Activity logs go into the customer’s own cloud bucket at Amazon, Microsoft or Google, locked with keys the customer controls. Automated systems scan a rolling window for serious abuse such as credential theft, and alerts route straight to the customer’s own security team. No human at Anthropic reads it, and Anthropic does not charge for the feature. The backstory explains the urgency. Anthropic had begun retaining thirty days of data with its Fable 5 model, specifically to catch patterns that only appear across multiple sessions. Regulated customers had to walk away immediately. Over a hundred organizations helped shape the result, including a quarter of the Fortune 100 and every US globally systemically important bank. It works across Claude Code, Claude Enterprise, Amazon Bedrock, and Microsoft Foundry. Wells Fargo’s security team put it simply, saying their logs stay in a Wells-managed environment under Wells-managed keys. Cochrane adds a personal note on the same retention change. Because transcripts now persist thirty days after last touch, he can keep Claude Code threads open far longer and lean on clear without losing context. Google’s Fairwind Program Hands Patching to the Machines Google is running the same play from the defensive side. Normally, a human engineer must reproduce a security flaw, understand it, write a fix, then prove the fix broke nothing else. That can stretch to weeks, and attackers live in exactly that gap. Fairwind pairs two systems to close it. Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber is a model tuned for security work. CodeMender hunts for flaws and writes the patches. Together, Google says they produce verified, deployment-ready patches in minutes, running inside the customer’s own environment. Access is deliberately restricted to three groups: national cyber authorities; critical infrastructure operators in healthcare, telecom, energy, and finance; and major technology platform providers. More than 650 partners are involved. Cochrane’s take centers on logging quality. Systems that emit specific, unique errors rather than generic ones let these tools find real issues almost immediately. Furthermore, he sees value in purpose-tuned models over general ones, since different training data and methodology surface gaps a single familiar model would miss. Meta Built an AI That Learns From Its Own Experts Every organization has two or three people who actually understand the hard systems. When they are busy, everyone waits. When they leave, the knowledge leaves too. Most AI assistants address this with retrieval, searching documents when you ask. Meta went the other way. A long-running offline process digests the source material ahead of time into more than 200 structured knowledge files, so the thinking happens before anyone asks. On top sit what Meta calls recipes, step-by-step procedures mirroring how a specialist actually works a problem. The reported numbers are concrete. Restructuring cut tokens consumed per turn by 80 percent. Assessments that took days now take minutes. The team built the whole system in six weeks across three sprints. Cochrane focuses on the feedback loop. Normally, an expert corrects an assistant in chat; the answer improves once, then the system forgets. Meta’s version compiles corrections into knowledge files and regression-tests them, so fixes stick without retraining the model. However, he raises two real caveats from his own attempts. Building those knowledge files is token-heavy, and codebases change. If the offline process does not rerun, the documentation drifts away from the code it describes. He also predicts this will become a service offered by AWS, GitHub, or GitLab rather than something each company builds alone. Sixteen Green AI Projects Across Asia-Pacific Google DeepMind named the first cohort of its Accelerator: AI for the Planet program. Sixteen organizations span New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Australia and Japan, receiving three months of access to Google’s AI stack plus mentorship and a Singapore bootcamp. Several stand out. A New Zealand outfit called 800 Trust uses bioacoustics, monitoring an ecosystem by listening to it and running AI over continuous audio to track biodiversity. Wildlife.ai builds open-source AI camera traps. Australia’s X-Centric replaced the soil lab with a handheld X-ray reader that answers a farmer standing in the field. In India, Climitra Carbon verifies invasive species removal and converts the biomass into biochar. Access matters more than money, as Cochrane points out. A six-person conservation nonprofit cannot run frontier models, because the compute bill alone would consume its operating budget. The organizations closest to these problems have always been furthest from the tooling. An Oklahoma Bitcoin Mine Condemned After Leaking 3.8 Million Gallons Cochrane corrects the figure up front. Many outlets report three million gallons, but El Reno city officials put it at 3.8 million. A Bitcoin mining operation on West Jensen Road leaked water and dropped pressure badly enough to close El Reno Public Schools, the Canadian County Courthouse, and other city and county offices. It happened during a month with 24 days above 100 degrees, in a region under severe to extreme drought. The leak is not the damning part. The city issued a stop-work order on the site back in 2023 for electrical, construction, and fire safety violations, then never followed up. The facility ran roughly three years under an order nobody enforced. Interim city manager Ken Brown did not dodge it, saying simply, “We failed.” The site is now posted as condemned with a ten-day removal notice, and a hearing with operator Athlon BT is set for September 14th. Reaching the company has proven difficult, with a website stuck on a maintenance notice and an unanswered California phone number. Cochrane draws one distinction that the coverage keeps blurring. This is a Bitcoin mining rig, not a hyperscale AI data center. The residents who lost pressure absorbed the cost, and nobody billed the operator for the aquifer. BepiColombo Closes In on Mercury After Eight Years Reaching the closest planet to the Sun took nearly eight years, which sounds backward until you understand the physics. Falling toward the Sun means gaining enormous speed, and a spacecraft arriving too fast simply sails past. So the mission spent those years shedding velocity across nine gravity-assist flybys: one at Earth, two at Venus, and six at Mercury itself. On September 3rd, the transfer module separated and was discarded more than 200 million kilometers from Earth. Mission control marked the moment with “Roll call completed, GO for separation.” Importantly, the spacecraft has not arrived yet. Orbit insertion is November 21st, the two science orbiters separate around December 9th and 10th, and science operations begin in April 2027. That November date is revised, having slipped from an earlier plan. Two orbiters fly because they do different jobs. Europe’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter studies the planet and what lies beneath its surface. Japan’s Mio studies the magnetosphere. Mercury having a magnetic field at all is genuinely odd, since a planet that small should have cooled and lost it long ago. The mission honors Giuseppe “Bepi” Colombo, the Italian mathematician who worked out how to slingshot a spacecraft to Mercury in the first place. NASA Builds a Rocket Engine Talk You Can Hear NASA hosts a webinar on Friday, October 2nd at 2 pm Eastern, titled “The RS-25 Engine and the Future of Artemis Missions.” It runs about two hours, is open to anyone, and RSVPs close September 25th. The RS-25 is not new hardware. It is the Space Shuttle main engine, the same design that flew 135 shuttle missions across three decades, now bolted four at a time into the SLS core stage. Together they produce roughly 2.2 million pounds of thrust at 111 percent of their original shuttle rating. Throwing them away is the strange part. These are precision engines built to fly repeatedly, yet Artemis expends four on every launch. NASA got a proven engine and skipped a decade of development, and that is the trade. The accessibility work is the real story. The event includes an audio-described video of an engine test firing, a live Q&A with an Artemis engineer, and a panel on accessibility in space and science. A test firing normally sells entirely on spectacle. Conveying that, and the engineering underneath it, without the visuals is a genuine design problem NASA built the whole event around solving. Buried Underwear Wins a 2026 Ig Nobel The 2026 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded September 3rd in Zurich. Marc Abrahams launched them in 1991 at the satirical magazine Annals of Improbable Research, and what began as a roast is now something researchers actively want. The soil science prize went to a team that buried 1,000 pairs of underwear across more than 25 countries and dug them up two months later. Measuring how much cotton rotted turns out to be a cheap, surprisingly good proxy for how biologically alive the soil is. The biomechanics prize recognized a precise, cross-species definition of kissing that works for animals and excludes passing food. By that definition, polar bears kiss, some birds kiss, and so do ants. Nature reports the behavior traces back roughly 21.5 million years to the ancestor of all large apes, meaning ancient humans very likely kissed Neanderthals. Cochrane’s favorite was the physics prize, awarded for a splash-free urinal design that reportedly cuts spray to 1.4 percent of normal. Cochrane closes by pointing listeners to the GNC Insider program, the newsletter, and podcastapps.com for a modern podcast app. Feedback on the show’s format is explicitly welcome at geeknews@gmail.com, where either Ray or Chris will read it.

"To assess a city, look at the street level, not the skyline."In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Jam and Dylan Pathirana sit down with Dr Sarath Mataraarachchi, an urban planner and academic whose life spans Sri Lanka and Australia, for a thoughtful conversation on what actually makes a city great, and why the answer has almost nothing to do with height, density or spectacle.Dr Sarath shares his early childhood and influences growing up in Sri Lanka, his education and early career in land economics and town planning, and the formative years he spent working alongside informal settlements, where he witnessed firsthand the impact of poverty on how communities live and grow. He reflects on what he learned from international experience, particularly in Australia, and how those lessons have shaped his thinking on empowering local authorities and genuinely engaging communities in the decisions that shape their own neighbourhoods.The conversation explores the real challenges facing Sri Lankan urban development, the role of mentorship in shaping his career, and his belief that a great city is ultimately one where people want to come and belong. Dr Sarath also shares his vision for the future of smart cities and sustainable urban environments, his hopes for Colombo and Sri Lanka more broadly, and the unique assets he believes Sri Lanka holds that the rest of the world often overlooks.This episode is a compelling reminder that the health of a city, much like the health of a life, is measured not by what impresses from a distance, but by what actually happens on the ground, every single day.What we cover:Dr Sarath's early childhood and influences in Sri LankaWhat success means in the context of urban planningEducation and early career in land economics and town planningExperiences with informal settlements and community lifeThe impact of poverty on city developmentLessons learned from international experience, including AustraliaChallenges in Sri Lankan urban developmentThe importance of local authority empowermentThe role of community and mentorship in planningWhat makes a city great and why street level matters mostThe future of smart cities and sustainable developmentA vision for Colombo and Sri Lanka's urban futureOvercoming obstacles and implementing real changeThe unique assets and qualities of Sri LankaCore traits of a successful life and leadershipChapters:00:00 Introduction and Dr Sarath's background00:28 What success means to Dr Sarath00:36 Early childhood and influences in Sri Lanka00:41 Education and initial career in land economics and town planning01:10 Experiences with informal settlements and community life01:37 The impact of poverty and community stories01:41 Understanding town planning and its purpose01:49 Learning from international experiences and Australia02:17 Challenges in Sri Lankan urban development02:35 The importance of local authority empowerment02:42 The role of community and mentorship in planning03:11 What makes a city great and the importance of street level03:40 The future of smart cities and sustainable development03:47 Vision for Colombo and Sri Lanka's urban future04:10 Overcoming obstacles and implementing change04:39 The assets and unique qualities of Sri Lanka05:09 Core traits of a successful life and leadership05:33 Closing thoughts and message to listeners#QuestForSuccess #SarathMataraarachchi #UrbanPlanning #SriLanka #Australia #CityDevelopment #SustainableCities #Community #PlaceBasedPlanning #UrbanJustice #SuccessMindset #Podcast #Inspiration #SmartCities #ColomboFollow us on all your favourite platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuestforSuccessPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Quest-For-Success-Podcast/61560418629272/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequestforsuccesspod/Twitter: https://x.com/quest4success_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-quest-for-successTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequestforsuccesspodWebsite: www.thequestforsuccesspodcast.com Please share this around to anyone you think will get value from it : )

Unser heutiger Gast ist in Hamburg geboren und aufgewachsen. Mit 15 Jahren trifft er eine Entscheidung, die sein weiteres Leben prägen wird. Er geht allein nach Sri Lanka, lebt dort in einer einheimischen Familie und macht in Colombo sein britisches Abitur. Anschließend studiert er Wirtschaft, Religionswissenschaften und Psychologie in Großbritannien, Deutschland und Frankreich, unter anderem an der Sorbonne in Paris. Nach dem Tsunami kehrt er 2006 nach Sri Lanka zurück. Für die deutsche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit hilft er beim Wiederaufbau. Doch schon nach wenigen Monaten steigt er wieder aus. Ihn stört ein System, in dem große Summen verteilt werden müssen und die tatsächliche Wirkung aus seiner Sicht zu oft in den Hintergrund gerät. Er sucht nach einem anderen Weg. Diesen Weg findet er im Unternehmertum. Gemeinsam mit Felix Langguth gründet er 2009 Lemonaid Beverages. Die Idee klingt einfach und ist gleichzeitig ziemlich radikal: Getränke herstellen, die hervorragend schmecken, fair gehandelte Zutaten aus Ländern des Globalen Südens verwenden und mit jeder verkauften Flasche soziale Projekte finanzieren. Heute beschäftigt Lemonaid mehr als 100 Menschen und verkauft jährlich viele Millionen Flaschen Lemonaid und ChariTea. Über den gemeinnützigen Lemonaid & ChariTea e.V. sind seit der Gründung rund zehn Millionen Euro zusammengekommen. Das Geld fließt in Projekte, die Menschen wirtschaftliche Chancen und mehr Selbstbestimmung ermöglichen. Dabei ist unser Gast einen bemerkenswert eigenständigen Weg gegangen. Er hat Angebote großer Investoren ausgeschlagen, lebt einen großen Teil des Jahres mit seiner Familie in Sri Lanka und führt sein Unternehmen seit vielen Jahren über Kontinente hinweg. Persönlicher Reichtum scheint ihn wenig zu interessieren. Wachstum dagegen sehr. Denn seine Rechnung lautet: Je größer Lemonaid wird, desto größer kann auch die gesellschaftliche Wirkung werden. Genau diese Verbindung interessiert uns heute. Seit über neun Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt und welchen Beitrag Unternehmen für eine starke Gesellschaft leisten können. Die Geschichte unseres heutigen Gastes berührt dabei einen Gedanken, der sehr nah an Frithjof Bergmanns ursprünglicher Idee von New Work liegt: Arbeit kann mehr sein als Erwerbsarbeit. Sie kann Ausdruck einer Überzeugung sein und gesellschaftliche Veränderung ermöglichen. Wie baut man ein wirtschaftlich erfolgreiches Unternehmen, bei dem gesellschaftliche Wirkung von Anfang an Teil des Geschäftsmodells ist? Wie führt man mehr als 100 Menschen über Kontinente hinweg und schafft eine Kultur, in der Purpose im Alltag tatsächlich gelebt wird? Und wie viel Wachstum braucht ein Unternehmen, wenn Wachstum gleichzeitig mehr gesellschaftliche Wirkung bedeutet? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

Desde Roma y tras la reunión con el Papa León XIV En Vuelo de Regreso hablamos con Monseñor Marcelo Colombo, arzobispo de Mendoza y presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Argentina Con Santiago Pont Lezica 17 h FM MILENIUM

Ronald J. Colombo, professor at Hofstra University's Maurice A. Deane School of Law, joins Cross & Gavel to explore the unexpected connection between contract law and petitionary prayer. Drawing from his scholarship in corporate law, religious freedom, and Christian thought, Colombo explains how prayer can be understood as a relationship with God that involves trust, perseverance, proper intention, and alignment with God's will. The conversation also examines how prayer shapes the person praying, why unanswered prayers may reflect God's providence rather than His absence, and how legal principles can offer a fresh framework for understanding Christ's promises about prayer. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.

Neste programa, conversamos com Marta Lança, a autora de “Essas pessoas na sala de jantar”, um livro que conta as histórias de uma vida escrita entre Lisboa, Paris, Mindelo, Luanda, Maputo, Rio de Janeiro e outras geografias, tendo como fio condutor as mudanças de casa e os encontros com novas pessoas que enchem salas de jantar transformadas em lugares de resistência e comunidades de pensamento e de arte. Este é o seu segundo livro, depois de “infinitas-pessoas-mais-uma”, ambos editados na Tigre de Papel. Marta Lança é jornalista, escritora, programadora cultural e também coordena o portal Buala, uma plataforma dedicada à cultura e ao pensamento sobre o Sul Global.  O livro “Essas pessoas na sala de jantar” é como uma casa, ou melhor, uma sala de jantar repleta de amigos e reinventada a cada nova morada entre três continentes. Mas não é “uma sala de jantar auto-satisfeita”, não. É um convite à viagem, à partilha e aos novos sabores, com pratos cheio de histórias e portas abertas, com sorrisos e cumplicidades, algures em prédios onde – podemos ler – “nos desenrascamos uns aos outros, e dispensamos ovos e coentros, em que crescemos juntos”. Foi a partir das sucessivas mudanças de casa para “outro bairro, às vezes outra cidade, ou continente” que a autora quis “encapsular temporadas em certos lugares e circunstâncias”. Através da sua história pessoal, conta o que viu nos países onde viveu, observando com “um olhar para dentro e para fora” capaz de arrombar quartos fechados e mentes quadradas. Esta é uma história de encontros, de “geografias afectivas múltiplas” e é também um diário de bordo de um mundo em risco de extinção e de um outro a cimentar-se, num “tempo saturado de estímulos e de tecnofascismo” e em que os ecrãs substituíram livros e o brincar na rua. Escrito com muito humor, o livro é também uma forma de transmissão da memória, offline, um registo proustiano em busca de um tempo perdido em que tanto se ganhou e tanto se foi perdendo. Às memórias pessoais da protagonista, às suas histórias de amizades, de amores, de viagens e experiências noutros países, misturam-se os grandes acontecimentos que marcaram a História e a política do pós-25 de Abril em Portugal até aos dias de hoje no mundo. Tudo acompanhado pelo ritmo dos filmes, dos livros e da banda sonora que também escreveram esses anos. A partir de Lisboa, Faial, Paris, Mindelo, Luanda, Maputo, Rio de Janeiro, Baixo Alentejo, as histórias  são acompanhadas por reflexões sobre as injustiças sociais, o racismo, as cidades segregadas, o capitalismo desenfreado, a crise da habitação, a especulação insaciável e as rendas insustentáveis, a ecologia em crise, a pobreza, as sempiternas lutas das mulheres e muitas e variadas e repetidas opressões. São também histórias de lugares de resistência, de salas de jantar transformadas em comunidade de pensamento e de arte. A autora lembra como foi crescer numa Lisboa arrastada pela especulação imobiliária, o que foi a “Geração à Rasca” nos tempos da Troika e lembra que “o fascismo nunca desapareceu no país dos brandos costumes”.  Depois, recorda como “ter vinte e um anos em Paris foi um embate de geopolítica existencial, um momento fundador na mundividência íntima”. Em Cabo Verde, reconheceu “a personalidade telúrica dos habitantes vulcânicos" que tinha conhecido em menina nos Açores, “mas o mais difícil de erradicar permanece: as mentalidades, a anos-luz de descolonizar”. Segue-se Luanda, “mal tinha desembrulhado o grogue, o veludo e a calabaceira de Cabo Verde e partia de novo, desta vez para uma grande metrópole africana da qual afinal não sabia quase nada”. Em Luanda compreendeu que “a mesma cidade onde se luta para conseguir comer ou para facturar milhões, toda a hora é hora de celebrar a vida, porque a toda a hora se pode morrer.” Em Maputo, o que mais conquistou o seu “coração rebelde eram os concertos de hip-hop, agregadores de jovens desejosos de mudar a sociedade restrita e opressora”, como Azagaia que “confrontava o regime e a geração da independência” com, por exemplo, a música “Quem vendeu a minha pátria?”. No Rio de Janeiro, surge a pergunta: “Como se pratica a alegria num lugar atravessado por tanta violência?”, onde “a desigualdade continua a ser a espinha dorsal da vida urbana brasileira.” A resposta começa, talvez, nos baile funk na Zona Norte, “uma das maiores expressões da resistência cultural, social e identidade das periferias brasileiras”. Mais tarde, o refúgio no Baixo Alentejo, em Portugal, onde uma casa no campo é a possibilidade de “pequenos lugares engendrarem utopias”. Porém, mesmo aí, “a terra é colonizada e posta a render” e nos cafés se percebe “como muita gente desistiu e se deixou manipular pelo populismo e abandono”. No final, regressa às raízes para cuidar de quem dela cuidou e de quem dela cuidará, confessa. Consciente de fazer “parte da paisagem da desigualdade montada”, ao longo dessas viagens entre os três continentes, a narradora nunca esquece “o Atlântico que devolve continuamente a memória do terror e da sobrevivência”. Também omnipresente, de viagem em viagem, a comida, das bolinhas da Xandite aos gelados do Pintado, do empadão de esparguete com carne nos avós, ao “panelão de arroz de grelos servido em pratos lascados e vinho de pacote”, passando pelo amarindo, loengo, mamão, goiaba e fruta pinha da zungueira de Luanda, sem esquecer o acarajé no Rio e a Cozinha Ocupação. Afinal, “poucas coisas unem tanto as pessoas como partilhar uma refeição”. A inspirar as suas páginas sente-se a busca e um enorme respeito pela liberdade, partindo de uma personagem-arquétipo a que chamou Júlia e que andava “a desenhar um mapa poético para mudar o sistema sem tomar o poder”. Era uma Júlia que, para além do engajamento em vários combates políticos, concentrava “a liberdade das infinitas mulheres que nunca puderam fazer nada mais senão trabalhar muito e cuidar dos outros". "Essas pessoas na sala de jantar" talvez seja "o mapa poético" de Marta Lança, esboçado a partir da "força de todas as que foram reprimidas". Marta Lança: "Aproveita, vive com consciência toda essa liberdade, o que tantas mulheres antes de ti não puderam fazer" RFI: Do que fala este livro? Marta Lança, Autora de “Essas pessoas na sala de jantar”: “Este livro compila várias crónicas de diversos momentos da minha vida. Quando estava a pensar o que é que ligaria estas histórias, achei que seria o mínimo denominador comum a questão de mudar. Mudar de casa, mudar de cidade, mudar de geografia emocional e de trabalhos, entre eles tem esta questão de cada um que se passa num determinado tempo e espaço. Começa com a casa onde cresci, a casa dos pais, a casa de onde parti para a vida e depois são sucessivas casas como ponto de partida: várias em Lisboa, várias depois com a vida profissional, em que fui viver para os países africanos onde também se fala português, como Cabo Verde, Angola, Moçambique. Depois o Brasil e o regresso a Lisboa, sendo Lisboa também em vários bairros, em vários tempos. Isso é o que coordena. Depois, fala de muitas outras coisas. Cada história tem os seus universos, alguns vão-se repetindo, mas é basicamente um livro que tem a ver com o crescer, com o tornar-se uma mulher, tornar-se adulta, e tem esse lado um pouco confessional, autobiográfico - mesmo assim, tentando não expor muito os outros - mas é o devir adulto. Basicamente, é um livro que tem a ver com o crescimento.” Por que é que decidiu chamar-lhe “Essas pessoas na sala de jantar”? “Porque sempre gostei muito dessa canção de 'Os Mutantes', um grupo brasileiro de movimento Tropicália. A canção chama-se ‘Panis et Circenses', tem a ver com uma crítica à ditadura militar brasileira. É muito irónico porque enquanto se está a distribuir pão e circo, essa classe média que está entretida na sala de jantar, ocupada em manter-se, em nascer e morrer, e que fica numa certa passividade enquanto o mundo explode, enquanto há uma série de injustiças, há uma classe média que está muito contente com a sua vidinha de privilégio. Então, trouxe este título para falar também dessa tensão que eu própria sinto entre o meu meio, esse meio pequeno-burguês de Lisboa que teve acesso à educação, saúde a seguir ao 25 de Abril. Portanto, somos essa primeira geração em liberdade que pôde uma série de coisas e, ao mesmo tempo, o que é que fazemos com isso? Então, também tem essa questão de tentar politizar-me e ter atenção à abertura para outras realidades do mundo e da minha própria cidade e ter uma participação não passiva, sendo que há esse dentro e fora da sala de jantar. Acho que é uma canção que traduz muito essa vontade também de trazer poesia para a vida, um outro olhar, não aquele convencional, e por isso a escolhi como título.” O espaço casa tem um lugar central, mas essas casas vão sendo criadas em diferentes países. Quase parece um paradoxo porque a casa é algo aparentemente estável, seguro, e aqui as suas casas são resultado de viagens e cada cidade é como uma nova casa. Até que ponto é que as casas e as cidades são personagens centrais neste livro? “São porque têm um lado de dentro de casa, mas não muito. Então, dentro de casa porque aconteceu que quase todas estas casas, como os leitores vão ver, foram casas partilhadas, casas colectivas onde viviam outras pessoas. Desde o início com a família, o núcleo duro, etc, e depois os amigos, os namorados e, hoje em dia, as casas com crianças quando estamos a criar filhos. Na partilha de casa, sempre achei muito interessante, como uma espécie de laboratório social, como é que as pessoas habitam uma casa, como é que pessoas, além de mim, tornam a casa um lugar habitável, um lugar acolhedor, mas um lugar onde há conflitos com a divisão de espaço, divisão de tarefas. Foi interessante que a minha vida suscitou ver várias maneiras de habitar a casa porque fui partilhando casa com pessoas diferentes ao longo da vida e sendo que essas outras cidades, outros bairros, também traziam sempre um microcosmos de realidades diferentes. Então, não são cenários, são participantes dessa observação de costumes, de ponto de partida para ver o que está à volta da casa. Aliás, o livro parte desse interior da casa, mas depois vai muito para fora, sai logo. A narradora - que sou eu - acaba por estar mais interessada no que se passa fora. Tenho algumas observações sobre o dentro de casa, mas o mais interessante será mesmo essa etnografia de ambientes à volta dessas casas, do bairro, dos sistemas políticos, dos assuntos que inquietam naquele momento, como se cristalizasse um certo tempo de observação. É por aí que interessa, é como a casa ser um mirante, um ponto de observação do exterior.” Vamos às casas nas diferentes cidades. Por exemplo, Lisboa. Lisboa não é apenas a cidade bonita e multicultural onde cresceu, onde ia ao ballet da Gulbenkian, ao cinema, aos bares do Bairro Alto dançar kizomba e ouvir Os Tubarões. Foi também a cidade onde um rapaz cabo-verdiano, Alcino Monteiro, foi espancado até à morte por um bando de skins no Dia de Portugal, em 1995, um cenário que se repetiria. Olha para este ódio racial que reverbera ainda na própria cidade. Quer-me falar sobre Lisboa? “Sim, é interessante ter ido buscar esse exemplo porque essa linha de cor que atravessa a cidade de Lisboa, essa colonialidade ainda estamos a vivê-la, não é? Crescer nos anos 80, numa cidade que estava a urbanizar-se, é o meu ponto de partida: era ali a zona de Carnide, depois assistir ao fenómeno do Colombo, toda essa Lisboa que se queria tornar uma cidade europeia, com a entrada na União Europeia, o desenvolvimento e, ao mesmo tempo, o realojamento dos bairros mais auto-construídos, etc, mas que obviamente foi criando para as margens, foi marginalizando, tornando periféricas uma série de realidades socioculturais e económicas de tornar muitos bairros empobrecidos e pessoas empobrecidas em que a linha de cor coincide. Ou seja, são as pessoas racializadas que acabam por ter esse estigma que vinha de um país a seguir ao 25 de Abril, ainda com uma grande carga colonial, racista, foi mantendo, se calhar um pouco mais com um certo pudor, sendo que agora, com a ascensão da extrema-direita e todo este populismo e instrumentalização do ressentimento voltou a sair à carga e ainda mais estigmatizou estes territórios, estas pessoas, e no livro vou falando desses momentos. De facto, o ódio racial foi um momento definidor quando aconteceu esse assassinato do Alcino Monteiro num bairro que eu frequentava, o Bairro Alto, que eu frequentava com os meus amigos. Para nós, que éramos novos, sentir esse medo nas ruas, ali no centro da cidade, e perceber: ‘Afinal isto é terrível. Há pessoas que são um alvo muito mais declaradamente de uma purga, dessa motivação do ódio.' E acho que isso nunca deixou de existir em Lisboa, aliás, culminou no ano passado com a morte do Odair Moniz, e vamos vendo como a cidade evolui e não resolve essas suas feridas sociais de ódio. E, portanto, acho que isso atravessa de alguma forma o livro. Eu, no lugar de também de um certo activismo anti-racista, mas como é que uma jovem lisboeta branca vai percebendo essas injustiças. Também entrei por aí de uma forma, não aprofundando muito, mas dando a entender que isso é uma realidade que só não vê quem não quer. Podemos estar num certo meio protegidos, mas somos cúmplices desse estado de coisas se mantivermos essa passividade. Portanto, temos de denunciar.” Vamos agora a Paris. Conta que “ter 21 anos em Paris foi um embate de geopolítica existencial, um momento fundador na mundividência íntima”. Foi para lá estudar, viveu na Cité Universitaire. Fala daquele momento, mas também na continuação das lutas sociais até hoje, com os Coletes Amarelos, as revoltas suburbanas na sequência também do assassínio de jovens de pele negra, a mobilização contra a ascensão da extrema-direita. Que lugar tem para si Paris? “Nessa tal geografia de afectos e de crescimento, Paris foi muito importante porque foi esse tal embate político. A minha relação com Paris no livro é no ano de 1997, 98, eu era uma jovem estudante de Erasmus em Paris. E teve esse papel de perceber como o mundo é enorme, como as lutas sociais são muito mais vastas do que a partir de Lisboa e também de perceber que há uma esquerda muito organizada e disseminada nas universidades, nas manifestações e isso foi muito importante de assistir, de acompanhar, de testemunhar esse fervor. Quanto mais organização, até de contestação, também mais se sentia essa tensão de uma cidade a uma escala muito maior do que Lisboa. Eu conto uma manifestação dos ‘chomeurs' [desempregados] que me impressionou muito, a forma muito combativa e muito radical de confrontar a polícia, etc, e depois Paris sempre continuou a ser uma meca da esquerda europeia com essas outras lutas que se seguiram e mais do que nunca, agora, com a situação política da Europa e de França em particular. Acho que é um bom barómetro da temperatura social, continua a ser.” Viveu também em Cabo Verde, que diz que se tornou em “um país exemplar no contexto africano”, graças ao empenho, ao valor atribuído à educação. Diz ainda que o mais difícil de erradicar permanecem “as mentalidades a anos-luz de descolonizar”. Quer falar-nos um pouco sobre Cabo Verde e a sua experiência? “Cabo Verde foi também uma transição enorme na minha vida. Ir viver para uma ilha pequenina como São Vicente e fazer uma revista com jovens cabo-verdianos e perceber as questões deles, algumas frustrações e muita vontade de participar, de ter opinião. Então, foi uma experiência que eu acarinho muito. De facto, viver nos sítios, trabalhar nos sítios, ajuda-nos muito a compreender essas tais relações, a sair do postal turístico das férias na ilha do Sal ou da Boavista em que a pessoa não percebe muito mais para além de que é um país maravilhoso, cheio de morabeza, etc. Ao trabalhar com jovens e ao ouvir os artistas, ao fazer também jornalismo de muita escuta, fez com que eu entendesse que há uma grande questão identitária. Portanto, isto é Cabo Verde de 2004, é claro que muitas coisas mudaram, mas havia ali muitas conversas sobre a questão da crioulidade, da situação atlântica de Cabo Verde cultural, da mestiçagem, todas essas heranças de ‘somos mais africanos, somos mais europeus', toda essa indefinição, que é uma discussão interessante, mas depois, no dia-a-dia, sentia-se que ainda havia um certo racismo em relação a pessoas do continente africano, muito pejorativamente chamados de mandjacos, como se isso fosse um insulto a uma etnia da costa da África, guineense, etc, e sobretudo a geração mais velha tinha um certo preconceito com a questão das pessoas mais negras. Falo também nessas manifestações, de alguns comentários, de algumas tradições como os Mandingas no Carnaval do Mindelo. E acho que sim, há uma mentalidade ainda muito colonizada que vai-se percebendo também em coisas mais recentes. Por outro lado, há uma juventude que reivindica o lado pan-africanista, a herança de Amílcar Cabral como os grandes valores da independência, tudo isso, mas é, mais uma vez, perceber que o contexto de um país é muito mais complexo do que a gente pensa no início. “Mal tinha desembrulhado o grogue” - estou a citá-la – “o veludo e a calabaceira de Cabo Verde", partiu de novo, desta vez para "uma grande metrópole africana, da qual, afinal, quase nada conhecia”. Luanda é a cidade onde "a toda a hora é hora de celebrar a vida porque a toda a hora se pode morrer”. Quer falar-nos sobre Luanda? “Luanda, essa grande cidade! Foi incrível conhecer Luanda nesse momento que saía há poucos anos de longuíssima guerra civil e ir trabalhar na área da cultura, das artes, em que estava tudo por fazer, havia uma alegria, um entusiasmo, e foi mesmo extraordinário também partilhar casa no bairro da Maianga, uma casa que já é histórica nas lendas urbanas, que é o Sete e Meio. Era um apartamento que dividíamos entre artistas angolanos e eu e uma amiga portuguesa que também trabalhávamos na Trienal de Luanda. Morava lá o Kiluanji Kia Henda, o Orlando Sérgio, o Yonamine, o Ihosvanny, artistas que estavam em grande força na sua carreira como artistas visuais, e o Orlando que é um actor na área do teatro e cinema. Então, era um ponto agregador da cidade, onde fazíamos muitos jantares, muitas conversas na nossa varanda, que também tinha um ponto de observação para as transformações urbanas da própria cidade de Luanda. E sim, é uma cidade de contradições, não é? Nessa altura - já não é a realidade actual - havia muita gente a fazer dinheiro porque o petróleo era, de facto, a economia muito efervescente, o crescimento económico era incrivelmente alto e acelerado, mas sabemos que isso depois não se traduziu em melhorias na qualidade de vida do povo angolano, que hoje em dia está bastante sufocado, numa crise enorme. Eu, como estrangeira, mas tentando viver como angolana no dia-a-dia, andar de candongueiro, depois também fiquei lá a trabalhar como professora, ouvi muitas histórias e o que mais me fascinava eram as biografias das pessoas. As pessoas tinham histórias de vida incríveis e apetecia cartografar tudo e escrever tudo, mas depois a realidade era tão veloz e alucinante que era difícil. Então, esses dois textos no livrinho sobre a Luanda dessa época são muito fragmentados, mas era um espelho da própria cidade, dessas vozes todas, dessas contradições e também um grande carinho nas pessoas e, ao mesmo tempo, uma brutalidade porque é a lei da sobrevivência.” Em Maputo, foi a música e o ímpeto do hip-hop, nomeadamente as letras do Azagaia, que a conquistaram, ele que tantas denúncias fez contra o regime, contra inclusivamente a geração da independência, contra a exploração do povo, contra o neocolonialismo português. Mais uma vez a atenção e a observação acutilantes da Marta… “Gostei muito de ir aos concertos do Azagaia. Foi um privilégio poder ir a vários concertos de hip-hop. Também já tinha frequentado muito o rap angolano, gostava muito também. Na altura, em Angola, ouvia muito o MCK, depois o Luaty Beirão também voltou à cidade e outros. Havia um grande movimento de hip-hop que era um grande escape de denúncia política. Então, era uma forma de entender o que é que os jovens estavam a pensar sobre a sua situação. Maputo é uma cidade extremamente musical, havia muitos concertos, muita música ao vivo nos bares e acho que é um dos pontos mais fortes que eu retenho: essa cidade musical. O Azagaia, além de, na altura, me ter chamado a atenção pelas letras tão interessantes, depois, tudo o que suscitou quando ele morreu, o cortejo fúnebre, a repressão e os tumultos todos que houve em Maputo e Matola e na Beira a seguir à morte dele… Aliás, eu tinha escrito esse texto antes de o Azagaia morrer e depois acrescentei mais isso como um questionamento também sobre a geração que fez a independência e a herança que deixou ao país como está actualmente, que ainda tem tanta juventude urbana descontente porque não tem muitos horizontes de expectativa para poder ficar no país com uma vida digna.” Também viveu no Rio de Janeiro e começa por falar de um baile funk em que questiona "como é que se pratica a alegria num lugar atravessado por tanta violência". O que representou para si o Rio de Janeiro? “Comecei o texto com esse episódio do baile funk porque também tive a sorte de poder frequentar as comunidades faveladas da Zona Norte do Rio de Janeiro. E sim, são zonas da cidade, territórios muito permeáveis à violência, seja do tráfico de droga, seja da própria polícia. Na altura, havia operações de pacificação dos morros e, no entanto, eram sempre bastante ameaçadoras para a população trabalhadora dessas comunidades. E havia uma banalização dessa violência que acho que todos sabemos com os filmes e as notícias que nos chegam. Portanto, é viver numa guerra aberta e isso é muito desgastante para os moradores. Depois conto também como é que algumas figuras, como um estudante de mestrado, se sentia uma excepção no seu contexto de jovem negro, periférico, pobre, mas como as políticas de discriminação positiva, as quotas, são muito importantes no contexto do Brasil para furar essa repetição da pobreza e, portanto, também como é que a partir dali se estava a pensar a questão da cidade, do asfalto e da periferia, todas essas divisões de uma sociedade tão classista, tão racista… Algumas opções vão-se repetindo ao longo dos textos, mas com novos figurantes e novas reflexões, penso eu.” Acaba por haver alguns temas e até injustiças que se repetem ou que dialogam entre as cidades onde viveu? “Exacto e a procura da alegria, que citou, é mesmo uma força de resistência nestes lugares, não é uma alegria alienante, é uma alegria que tem o seu peso, da sua dor, dessas feridas todas da história, da história da escravatura, da história da pobreza, e, ao mesmo tempo, a capacidade de ‘estamos aqui, continuamos, sobrevivemos e transformamos a dor em alegria, uma alegria de não nos vão apagar, aqui continuamos'. Essa lição dessa alegria sobrevivente, para uma europeia, é mesmo importante, porque eu acho que em Portugal, por exemplo, se cultiva muito o lamento, o queixume, mas é um queixume que depois não muda nada, é um queixume quase de apaziguamento. Acho que esses países, como eu digo, abaixo do Equador, nos davam uma lição de vida nesse sentido que é: ‘Vamos para a frente, resistimos' e, cada vez mais, confrontacionais e a desejarem uma outra vida com todo o seu sentido crítico. Portanto, é uma alegria que também traz a crítica ao estado de coisas.” Outro aspecto é a comida, que de viagem em viagem também é omnipresente, seja na sala de jantar, seja na rua, no café, no restaurante. Das bolinhas da Xandite aos gelados do Pintado, do empadão de esparguete com carne da casa dos avós, ao “panelão de arroz de grelos servido em pratos lascados e vinho de pacote”, em Lisboa, ao amarindo, loengo, mamão, goiaba e fruta pinha da zungueira de Luanda, ao acarajé no Rio e à Cozinha Ocupação… Escreve: “Poucas coisas unem tantas pessoas como partilhar uma refeição”. Porquê tanto sabor neste livro? “Muito bem visto! E também o grande ensopado de borrego no Alentejo!” É verdade, não falámos do Alentejo, mas também é bom deixar aos leitores a possibilidade de descobrir outras geografias e sabores… “Exactamente. A refeição partilhada é também ligada à ideia das pessoas na sala de jantar que estão a partilhar o seu momento, a distribuição de comida, a vontade de experimentar coisas novas e como cada lugar também com os seus sabores, porque é uma forma de convívio, não é? E esse é outro grande tema do livro: o convívio entre pessoas diferentes e uma refeição pode pôr na mesma mesa pessoas de realidades muito diferentes e estarem unidas pelo prazer de comer, de descobrir e também como os novos sabores traziam novas realidades. Quando estou a apontar para esses frutos tropicais, estou a aprender novos léxicos e novas realidades e, portanto, quis trazer essas diversas comidas.” Esses sabores não são só gustativos, também há os sabores auditivos, porque a música também está muito presente no livro. É como uma banda sonora em pano de fundo… “É porque a música também é uma forma de conhecermos realidades novas. Acho que todos nós temos sempre as nossas músicas electivas. Por exemplo, ouvir música em Angola ou Moçambique ou Brasil, é a partir das letras e das sonoridades que nos trazem as tais outras realidades. E depois também as músicas que nos formaram, a nossa forma de olhar o mundo e de viver a História é feita das partilhas das universidades, das leituras, dos filmes, mas muito a partir da música. A música tem um pendor educativo, formativo muito forte em todos nós e eu queria prestar essa homenagem a tudo o que a música trouxe à minha vida, só que era difícil estar a escolher entre tantas músicas e tantos autores e então fui referindo de acordo com o que eu ia ouvindo em cada fase de vida.” Num dos capítulos fala do “Lobo da Mata” e conta um episódio terrível. Recorda a francesa Gisèle Pelicot quando disse que “a vergonha tem de mudar de lado” e também escreve, “nos anos 90 a consciência feminista era de nicho e o ‘girl power' era mais slogan do que força colectiva” e que ainda hoje “em vários países, ser mulher continua ser quase um acto ilegal”. Porque decidiu escrever o “Lobo da Mata” e falar sobre a sua própria história? “Porque nós criamos mais empatia, relação com um assunto, quando nos implicamos nele, e todas as mulheres, sem excepção, terão histórias de abusos, desconfortos no mínimo, e situações em que se sentiram com medo ou discriminadas pelo facto de serem mulheres. Acho que temos a sorte de estarmos em países onde há alguma protecção, mas até precisamente pela Gisèle Pelicot em França, sabemos como histórias tão hediondas podem estar aqui ao voltar da esquina. Eu queria trazer algumas reflexões feministas porque, tal como a música, o feminismo também é uma forma de conhecer, de aprender muito para tentar ambicionar um mundo onde haja mais igualdade nas questões de género, mas mais do que a igualdade, acredito num feminismo que não é necessariamente a luta pelo poder, mas é outra forma de convivência entre as pessoas que não passe por esta competição, por estas relações de poder, por este ímpeto bélico e destrutivo que o mundo patriarcal nos tem proporcionado e por ele chegámos aqui, a este estado de coisas tão devastador e sem futuro quase. E, portanto, o feminismo seria uma grande opção entre homens e mulheres de outro tipo de comunhão, de partilha, de uma paz social que poderia vir através do feminismo. Esse ‘Lobo da Mata' é uma história na Caparica, na adolescência. Não é uma história que seja assim o grande trauma porque eu quis também passar esse lado, de como eu encontrei as minhas ferramentas para viver com isso e para transformar essa história numa espécie de alívio e de força pessoal, mas claro que cada mulher lida com isso de maneiras diferentes, com os seus próprios traumas e fantasmas. Mas acho que sim, acho que foi importante escrevê-la, não no sentido terapêutico, mas para partilhar alguns episódios que todas temos e, depois, a partir daí, o que é que suscitou como preparação para a vida porque qualquer mulher terá passado por isso.” Fala numa mulher no livro que é uma personagem-arquétipo daqueles tempos. Chamou-lhe Júlia que andava “a desenhar um mapa poético para mudar o sistema sem tomar o poder”, uma Júlia que, para além do engajamento em vários combates políticos, concentrava “a liberdade das infinitas mulheres que nunca puderam fazer nada mais senão trabalhar muito e cuidar dos outros. A força de todas as que foram reprimidas.” O que é feito dessa Júlia? Este livro é esse “mapa poético”? “Sim, acho que sim. Essa Júlia é um arquétipo, não é uma pessoa real, mas sim um conjunto dessas vontades todas reprimidas e de alguém que pôde experimentar, pôde errar, pôde implicar-se em cada situação e fazer com que as coisas aconteçam, sair da tal sala de jantar auto-consolada para que a vida nos aconteça porque não podemos estar só à espera de uma mudança se não nos implicarmos nela. Essa Júlia ainda está aqui presente, pelo menos tenho-a comigo, como alguém que me faz lembrar: ‘Olha, aproveita, vive com consciência toda essa liberdade, o que tantas mulheres antes de ti não puderam fazer.' E é preciso celebrar essa liberdade de circulação, de podermos ser quem queremos, de podermos até mudar em qualquer fase de vida para procurar essa pessoa que nos vamos tornando em cada momento, mas não ficar a achar que isso é garantido porque as liberdades nunca estão garantidas. É também essa inquietação. A Júlia é essa inquietação que me persegue e que certamente outras pessoas se identificarão com ela.”

Linda Scarpa grew up loving her father. The rest of the world knew him as one of the most feared men in organized crime. As the daughter of notorious Colombo crime family hit man and FBI informant Gregory Scarpa Sr., Linda lived a life few could imagine. Behind closed doors, she knew him as a devoted father and family man. Outside the home, he was a violent enforcer whose actions left a trail of fear, bloodshed, and unanswered questions. Reconciling those two realities has shaped Linda's entire life. Linda shares her extraordinary story in The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter, co-written with Linda Rosencrance. More than a true-crime memoir, the book explores the emotional cost of growing up in the shadow of organized crime. It is a deeply personal story about family loyalty, betrayal, love, loss, identity, honor, and the lifelong struggle to separate the man she loved as her father from the man the world feared. Her story extends far beyond the pages of her book. Linda has appeared on I Married a Mobster in the popular two-part episode "Daddy's Girl," and has been featured on programs including The Joy Behar Show, The Ricky Lake Show, Mafia Women with Trevor McDonald, and Evil Lives Here. Her life has also been profiled by major media outlets including Newsweek, New York Post, Daily Mail, News Corp Australia, Men's Journal, and numerous other publications. In this episode of The Suffering Podcast, Linda opens up about what it was really like to grow up as the daughter of one of America's most infamous mob figures. This conversation goes beyond organized crime, revealing the emotional weight of loving someone capable of unimaginable violence and the lasting impact that family secrets, trauma, and unconditional love can leave on a person's life.

Indian exporters are facing a fresh shipping squeeze. Congestion at major transhipment hubs such as Singapore and Colombo is delaying cargo, disrupting schedules and pushing up costs, just as global trade routes are being reshaped by geopolitical tensions and shifting freight demand. But the disruption exposes a deeper weakness in India’s export infrastructure. Despite its vast coastline — and the arrival of the Vizhinjam transhipment port — much of India’s cargo still relies on overseas hubs before heading to global markets. Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET’s Twesh Mishra about what’s causing the jam, what exporters are losing, and whether India can finally bring its transhipment business home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Go To Food Podcast, we're joined by one of the most fascinating figures in British food today: Cynthia Shanmugalingam, founder of Rambutan, the Borough Market restaurant that's redefining how London experiences Sri Lankan cuisine. From studying economics at Cambridge and working at HM Treasury to building one of the UK's most celebrated restaurants, Cynthia's journey is anything but conventional.We dive into the extraordinary story behind Rambutan, from losing her first restaurant site during the pandemic to spending six months travelling around Sri Lanka researching family recipes and village cooking for her award-winning cookbook. Cynthia shares why opening an open-fire kitchen in Borough Market was so important, the realities of running a thriving restaurant in today's hospitality landscape, and why she already has plans for what's next.Along the way, we explore the food that shaped her—from childhood meals in Coventry and her grandmother's cooking to the incredible breakfasts, curries and street food of Sri Lanka. She explains why "rice and curry" is far more complex than people realise, reveals the dishes she'd love to bring to London next, and gives us the ultimate guide to eating your way around Colombo.Plus, we chat meal deals, supermarket pork pies, Borough Market favourites, why oysters might be the most overrated thing on restaurant menus, and the economics behind building a successful restaurant. It's a brilliant conversation about food, family, culture and entrepreneurship with one of the industry's most original voices.BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE ON MONDAY 27TH JULY - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/go-to-food-podcast-live-with-chef-adam-byatt-tickets-1992111901323?aff=oddtdtcreatorYou can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Ti sei mai chiesto da dove venga il tuo cognome? E ti è mai capitato di imbatterti in un cognome italiano e di pensare: "Ma perché qualcuno dovrebbe chiamarsi così?". Dietro ogni cognome si nasconde una piccola storia fatta di mestieri, luoghi, caratteristiche fisiche e perfino auguri. Scopriamo insieme da dove vengono i cognomi italiani e perché alcuni sono davvero curiosi. Da Dove Vengono i Cognomi Italiani e Perché Alcuni Sono così Strani? I cognomi italiani sono come piccoli libri di storia: raccontano da dove venivano i nostri antenati, che lavoro facevano e perfino com'erano fatti fisicamente. Imparare a "leggerli" è anche un ottimo modo per arricchire il vocabolario con nomi di mestieri, aggettivi e nomi di luoghi. Quando Sono Nati i Cognomi in Italia? I cognomi, in Italia, sono diventati obbligatori e ufficiali solo in epoca relativamente recente. Fu il Concilio di Trento, nel 1564, a stabilire che le parrocchie dovessero tenere un registro dei battesimi con nome e cognome. Lo scopo principale era pratico: evitare i matrimoni tra parenti. Prima di allora, una persona era semplicemente "Giovanni", e se in paese c'erano dieci Giovanni ci si arrangiava con i soprannomi. L'usanza del cognome esisteva comunque già da prima, soprattutto tra le famiglie nobili e i commercianti, e nelle campagne ci furono famiglie senza un vero cognome fisso addirittura fino all'Ottocento. Proprio dai soprannomi nasce gran parte dei cognomi italiani. Le Quattro Grandi Categorie dei Cognomi Italiani La maggior parte dei cognomi italiani deriva da quattro grandi categorie. Vediamole una per una, con tanti esempi pratici. 1. Cognomi che Derivano da un Nome di Persona (Patronimici) Sono cognomi che indicavano "il figlio di…". Si chiamano patronimici quando si riferiscono al padre, e matronimici (molto più rari) quando si riferiscono alla madre. L'esempio più chiaro è Di Stefano, cioè "(il figlio) di Stefano". Allo stesso modo abbiamo De Angelis, D'Antonio, Di Marco. Come esempio di matronimico possiamo citare De Maria o Di Maria, costruiti su un nome femminile. A volte la preposizione è scomparsa e il nome è rimasto da solo, magari al plurale: Martini, Bernardi, Mariani. Quella "-i" finale spesso significa proprio "appartenente alla famiglia di…". C'è un dettaglio bellissimo per chi studia l'italiano: tantissimi di questi cognomi nascono da un nome alterato, cioè modificato con un suffisso. Da "Giovanni" non nasce solo Giovannini, ma anche Nannini, Vanni, Giannetti. La particella Di all'inizio di tanti cognomi (Di Marco, Di Paolo, Di Pietro) è particolarmente diffusa in regioni come l'Abruzzo. Per approfondire questo meccanismo linguistico, puoi leggere la guida sugli alterati in italiano, tra diminutivi e accrescitivi. 2. Cognomi che Derivano da un Mestiere Questa categoria è perfetta per imparare vocabolario, perché molti cognomi raccontano semplicemente che lavoro facevano i nostri antenati. Per approfondire il lessico del lavoro, puoi consultare la guida sui mestieri e le professioni in italiano. CognomeMestiere d'origineFerrari, Ferraro, Fabbri, FabbroFabbro (chi lavora il ferro)PastoreChi si occupa delle pecoreSarti, SartoriSarto (chi cuce i vestiti)BarbieriChi taglia barba e capelliMolinari, Munari, MunaroMugnaio (chi lavora al mulino)VaccaroChi alleva le vacche Tra i cognomi di mestiere, quello legato al fabbro è il più diffuso in assoluto. Fabbri e Fabbro (dal latino faber) sono diffusissimi in Emilia-Romagna e in Friuli. Una curiosità: spesso uno stesso mestiere ha generato cognomi diversi a seconda della regione, perché c'era la forma in dialetto e quella in italiano. Il mugnaio, per esempio, in alcune zone del Nord è diventato Munari o Munaro. 3. Cognomi che Derivano da una Caratteristica Fisica o del Carattere Qui gli italiani del passato sono stati molto sinceri: tantissimi cognomi descrivevano com'era fatta una persona. Erano una specie di "etichetta", a volte affettuosa, a volte un po' ironica, data dal paese. Per ampliare il vocabolario, puoi consultare la guida su come descrivere qualcuno in italiano. CognomeCaratteristicaRossiCapelli rossi (il cognome più diffuso d'Italia)BianchiCapelli bianchi o pelle chiaraBassi, BassoPersona bassaLongo, LungoPersona altaMoretti, BrunoPelle o capelli scuriRicciCapelli ricciGrassiPersona robustaMagroPersona magra Non tutti i cognomi di questa categoria descrivevano l'aspetto fisico: alcuni raccontavano il carattere o un comportamento. Chi era sempre allegro diventava Allegri, chi era forte e robusto Forte o Forti, chi era gentile Gentile. Ricevere un cognome così, in fondo, era anche un piccolo complimento. Per arricchire il lessico, puoi leggere la guida sugli aggettivi italiani per descrivere il carattere e la personalità. 4. Cognomi che Derivano da un Luogo di Origine L'ultima grande categoria comprende i cognomi che indicano da dove veniva una persona. Se un uomo arrivava da un altro paese, gli abitanti lo identificavano proprio così. Questi cognomi si chiamano anche toponimici, dal greco tópos, che significa "luogo". Per ripassare la geografia italiana, puoi consultare la guida sulle regioni e i capoluoghi d'Italia. Da qui nascono cognomi come Romano (da Roma), Lombardo e Lombardi (dalla Lombardia), Calabrese (dalla Calabria), Pugliese (dalla Puglia), e perfino Messina o Genova dai nomi delle città. C'è poi una sottocategoria legata non a una città, ma a un elemento del paesaggio. Chi viveva vicino a una fontana diventava Fontana, vicino a una valle Valle o Della Valle, su una collina Collina, vicino al mare Costa o Marina. Il cognome diventava così una piccola fotografia del posto in cui si abitava. I Cognomi Italiani più Strani e Particolari In Italia esistono davvero dei cognomi che fanno sorridere. Dietro ognuno si nasconde una storia sorprendente, a volte divertente e a volte commovente. I Soprannomi Diventati Cognomi Gli italiani del passato amavano descrivere le persone con espressioni intere. Così troviamo Bevilacqua ("bevi l'acqua") e Tagliaferro ("taglia il ferro", probabilmente dato a qualcuno molto forte). I Cognomi Augurali Sono nomi che esprimevano un augurio, un ringraziamento o uno scongiuro per il neonato. Ecco perché esistono cognomi come Benvenuti (perché il bambino era benvenuto) e Bonaventura ("buona ventura", cioè buona fortuna). Un esempio particolare è Bencivenga: tipico della zona di Napoli e Caserta, era un nome-augurio col senso di "che ci venga del bene". C'è anche Tornincasa, cioè "torna in casa", un nome commovente che veniva dato a un figlio nato dopo la morte di un altro figlio, come a dire "bentornato in famiglia". I Cognomi di Origine Religiosa Molto diffusi, soprattutto al Sud, riprendevano feste, preghiere o simboli della tradizione cristiana. Troviamo quindi Santoro (dal latino sanctorum, spesso legato a chi nasceva nel giorno di Tutti i Santi), Natale (per chi nasceva il giorno di Natale) e De Angelis ("degli angeli"). Molti di questi cognomi sono legati alle festività: per scoprirle meglio, puoi leggere la guida sul Natale italiano e le sue tradizioni. I Cognomi dei Bambini Abbandonati C'è un capitolo speciale, un po' triste ma molto importante: i cognomi dati ai bambini abbandonati. In passato, i neonati lasciati negli istituti di carità ricevevano cognomi "inventati". Il più famoso è Esposito, che viene dal latino expositus, cioè "esposto": indicava il bambino "esposto" alla pubblica assistenza, lasciato spesso nella cosiddetta "ruota degli esposti". Non a caso oggi Esposito è il cognome più diffuso in Campania, in particolare a Napoli. Con lo stesso significato troviamo Proietti, tipico di Lazio e Umbria. Ci sono poi cognomi-augurio commoventi dati ai trovatelli, come Diotallevi ("Dio ti allevi", cioè "che Dio ti faccia crescere"), Diotaiuti ("Dio ti aiuti") e Degli Innocenti, diffuso in Toscana, legato all'Ospedale degli Innocenti di Firenze. C'è perfino Colombo, diffuso a Milano e in Lombardia, legato anch'esso in molti casi all'accoglienza dei trovatelli, con riferimento alla colomba, simbolo cristiano. Esiste Perfino un Museo del Cognome Un'ultima curiosità: esiste davvero un Museo del Cognome. Si trova a Padula, in Campania, ed è interamente dedicato alla storia e all'origine dei cognomi italiani. Per altre scoperte di questo tipo, puoi consultare la guida sulle curiosità sull'Italia. Tabella Riassuntiva delle Categorie Ecco una tabella che riassume le principali categorie dei cognomi italiani con qualche esempio.

Il cognome più diffuso in tutta Italia è Rossi, che deriva probabilmente dal colore dei capelli. A livello regionale, però, ci sono cognomi dominanti diversi: in Campania, per esempio, il più diffuso è Esposito. Quando Sono Diventati Obbligatori i Cognomi in Italia? I cognomi sono diventati ufficiali e obbligatori con il Concilio di Trento nel 1564, quando si stabilì che le parrocchie dovessero registrare i battesimi con nome e cognome. L'usanza esisteva però già prima tra nobili e commercianti. Cosa Significa il Cognome Esposito? Esposito deriva dal latino expositus, cioè "esposto".

Cassady Quintana: Welcome to the Social Success Podcast, where we have conversations with top hospitality professionals about successful digital marketing strategies, emerging trends, and how to connect with today’s travelers. I’m your host, Cassady Quintana. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Social Success series. My name is Cassady Quintana and I am the brand ambassador here at Travel Media Group. And today we have an awesome guest. I am super excited, a hospitality influencer, celebrity to me. Super excited to have the no nonsense voice of hospitality. Mr. Scott Eddy, thank you so much for joining me. Scott Eddy: Thanks so much for having me, man. Cassady Quintana: Yeah, super excited. So, right now you’re in Spain. We talked a little bit about that, but for people that may be a little bit unfamiliar with you and your history, talk us through how you got involved in hospitality and how you got to where you are today. Scott Eddy: Yeah, so I actually didn’t come from a hospitality at all. I came from investment banking, which I think gives me a very different lens of the world. So I look at hospitality through psychology, positioning, ROI, branding human behavior before I even look at aesthetics, which actually means nothing. after my banking career ended, I went to Thailand on a two week trip, and after four days I called my mom. I was like, I’m never coming home. I love this place. And I ended up living in Bangkok for 11 years. So I went over there in 99, several years before social media came out. So for the next four or five years, I basically just partied my butt off all over Asia, made a lot of friends and just getting acclimated with the region. ’cause it was just, it’s like a different world over there. So then social media came out and I started the first digital agency in Asia, and we were the biggest for five years. And all my clients were hotels. So my very first client in this industry was the first Aman property on earth. Aman…, which was in Phuket. And that really taught me the whole quiet, luxury, luxury persona. Like that whole thing. It really like it was like a, like a, like a weight in my brain that is still there today. It’s really, really stuck with me and a lot of things that I learned from that project. Really, I use it every day. Cassady Quintana: Yeah. No, that’s awesome. I feel like a lot of the people I talk to and we talk to here, it’s kind of a similar story. They fall into hospitality, they don’t realize, and it happened to me too, like I was working just in normal social media marketing before I got into hospitality. And that’s kind of how it happens for a lot of people. So you live in hotels, you’re traveling constantly. A lot of people would only dream of that. I wish I could do something like that. So for you, at what point did you realize, like, this wasn’t travel anymore, but you could kind of turn that into your brand and a business for yourself? Scott Eddy: So, okay, so as I was doing the agency, and again, I just hired really smart people that worked at advertising agencies. And just watched them. But during that time, that’s when social media first came out. And I’m very early on every platform. I was probably first 2000 people on Twitter. And Twitter was it back then. So that’s actually where I built my brand. And I was the first American expat in every Asian country to have a million followers on Twitter, which back then got me headline news, which got me speaking gigs, which got me consulting gigs. So after a while, all my business was coming through my social media. And again, this is back when there was no term influencer, there was no term personal brand. There was no, that might have been a thing, but it wasn’t a thing. So eventually I just decided to sell the agency because it just made no sense to me to have a brick and mortar office paying 37 full-time employees when the clients are coming through my phone or my computer. Like, it just didn’t make sense. So I sold it and started traveling around. In total did 11 years in Thailand, one year in Philippines, one year in Sri Lanka, four years in Spain, one year in Portugal, and one year in London. And then I came back to the US in 2015, thereabouts. And that is when I literally blew up because that is when real budgets were starting to be applied to social media marketing. And I was approached by a PR agency as soon as I came back to be the travel host for the first video, for the first travel show that was gonna be a lifetime. And it was like a Anthony Bourdain type show. It was called Video Globetrotter. So that solidified me in the U.S. Then I just started doing just huge campaigns with F1, with Air New Zealand, with like, all these big brands. I was a brand ambassador for Lexus for two years. I mean, it was, it was very, very cool. But when I, before I came back to the States when I was in Europe, I was just looking at like what was gonna happen when I went back to the States and I was like, well, I don’t want to get a lease and like have like a normal life. I haven’t had a life for a very long time. So I ended up selling everything that I own while I was in Europe and even now. So I was born in Michigan, but I was grow, I grew up in Fort Lauderdale since I was little. I used to only have a storage unit in South Florida. So I used South Florida as a base in between all my trips. But I’m there two, three days. Like, I was just there this past weekend. I went to F1 and then I came to Europe right away. That’s awesome. So, yeah, I mean, it just happened. When did it happen? Who knows? But it just, I’ve been in the trenches of hospitality marketing for 17 years, since day one of social media. Not that we were doing social media strategies on day one. Back then it was like websites and SEO and graphic design. Remember when people paid for that? Cassady Quintana: Yeah. Scott Eddy: So the services side is very different now. But it’s fun. But it’s fun and hospitality, like it’s the greatest people in the world. Cassady Quintana: I couldn’t agree more. I mean, how could you not be happy with being able to travel to all these places and meet new people and stay in different hotels and you’ve experienced, a wide range of different hotels. So when you think back of all these places you’ve stayed at, for you what makes a memorable stay versus one that’s kind of forgettable? Scott Eddy: And I’ve had both. The difference is emotional impact. That’s it. Most luxury hotels today are physically beautiful. And emotionally empty. The industry has been become obsessed with that whole polished and everything else. But forget humanity. Guests don’t remember the sink design or the way the lobby looked. They remember how your people made them feel. And I’ll give you a perfect example, and this is not to put them down, but I just left Tulsa. I was there for eight days. I mean, you’re talking about Tulsa, Oklahoma. Like it’s not New York City, it’s not Paris, it’s not Hong Kong, it’s Tulsa. And I was at the Marriott there. And again, this is not a ultra luxury property, I’m telling you right now, I stay over 300 nights in hotels and have done so for the more than eight, nine years. This was the best employees, the best staff that I’ve ever met in my life, ever. And I’ve lived in Asia for 13 years. And Asia has, I mean, the best of the best. But I mean, it, it was crazy. Like the finance lady coming out and she’s like smiling and laughing with the staff. Have you ever seen finance person smile? Like that’s where the creativity goes to die. That’s the person who’s telling me, no, no, no, we don’t have the money for this. Like, it was unbelievable like every day I was just like pinching myself. I’m like, is this real? It was just, it was really crazy that the best experience that I’ve had ever in hospitality just happened. Cassady Quintana: Oh, that’s awesome. And I feel like this is something that a lot of hotels should be posting about on social media because I always say like, your hotel and the way it looks is part of the experience, but what makes it memorable or what makes it terrible for people is how the service was. So, and that can be hard to translate online. So when you are looking at a hotel, social media page for you, like what makes something make you gravitate towards it and wanna engage with it, rather than it being a promotional or sale. Like how can hotels translate that inhuman experience and how awesome their staff is and how awesome their staff makes you feel to social media so that potential guests can feel that through the phone? Scott Eddy: I mean, first off,I browse through social media profiles of hotels every day. I mean, I’m, I’m talking dozens and it’s, it’s honestly most of it just makes me wanna throw. It is ridiculous. We are in the most feel good, fuzzy warm feeling industry in the world. And they can’t stop taking these gorgeous pictures of rooms and dead pictures of an empty swimming pool. And like, it’s unbelievable. Most hotels, social media feels like it was approved by seven people in a boardroom and a legal department. That’s the problem. Everything is safe, polished, filtered, and emotionally flat human beings connect with people, not corporate perfection. When are you gonna wake up? Like, I don’t understand. It’s 2026. It’s almost as if they don’t have a calendar. Like show it, show the chef, show the bartender, show the housekeeper, show them, show humor. I mean, like, it’s crazy. Cassady Quintana: And I think that’s the thing, like when Instagram first came out, it was that opposite, right? We need the perfect photo, we need the perfect shot. We have to use the perfect filter. And now it’s, it’s kind of gone to the opposite. And maybe this is with AI becoming so pertinent in all of these things, but people want to see that real moment. Because it’s hard to imagine yourself in a perfect photo of a hotel room. Like, I wanna see someone enjoying their coffee, or like you said at the pool, things like that. So obviously you’ve followed this since it’s started and it’s changed. We’ve seen new trends. We’ve seen Instagram change its algorithm completely. So beyond that human emotion, is there anything else that you think hoteliers are still getting wrong in 2026 with their social media? Scott Eddy: I mean, the biggest mistake hotels are still making is thinking that content is the strategy. Content is not the strategy. Content is the vehicle. Emotional relevance is the strategy. Anybody can create content. Now, do you have a phone? You can create content, you have AI, it can create content. So the value is no longer in simply producing the content. The value is in perspective, storytelling, culture, trust, leadership, and emotional connection. That is the number one. Most hotels still have no clear voice online. What I love to ask hotels. I love to say, what is your brand personality? They don’t know how to answer. Like, how do you not know that there’s no founder visibility, there’s no staff involvement, there’s no community building. God help you if you can find a GM. They’re heading in the office. There’s no understanding of platform psychology. I was talking to a guy who is part of a group of a hotel group, and they own 11-17, they owned a bunch of hotels. And I asked him about one of the properties. So before we hopped on the call, I went on every platform to see where they are, how active they are. That way I have the ammunition. We get on the phone and I ask him, what about X, Y, Z property? I couldn’t find them on TikTok. Why aren’t they, oh, I don’t like TikTok. That wasn’t a question. Cassady Quintana: Right. Scott Eddy: And then, with me, I dive deeper. I’m like, why don’t you like it? kids dancing. Come on. That’s the way it started. I said, the average, the average age demographic that’s most active right now is 38 to 57. Luxury brands are killing it on TikTok. I love when people say can’t sell luxury on social media. What? These are the people that aren’t on their phones. Right. Come on, man. Cassady Quintana: No, and I love that you mentioned that because especially TikTok, it had that, that image, especially in 2020 of just being that platform where people dance. But it goes beyond that now because we’re starting to see integrations with, Booking.com on TikTok and Expedia on Instagram. Like, there the conversation of is important is long gone. Now it’s, why are you not on this? It’s kind of almost weird and embarrassing if you’re not on social media. Like, what do you mean you’re not on social media? ’cause that is, and especially my, I’m older, gen Z, but as these new demographics start to have buying power, this is where we’re searching. Likeand it, and like you said, TikTok is now that age group of 30 to 50. Like those are the people with the most buying power. So what do you mean, like that it, and it’s hard to get people to see that sometimes because when they have that preconceived notion of what social media is, to try and get them to a point of believing in it is tough. But I mean, the proof is in the pudding. We can show them how important that is. So kind of in that same world, I mean we’re seeing a lot of influencers in hospitality now. And we actually, I did an exercise last week where I was searching, hotels and the most viral videos and most of them came from influencers. So where do you see the value with influencers in hotels and maybe where do you see that continue to go? Scott Eddy: The problem with the whole influencer space, and I hate that word so much. Just because influencers ruined, just like marketers ruin the term marketing. Influencers have ruined the term influencers. I mean, it’s just such a egotistical. Ridiculous word. It’s just such a saturated market. So much so that I don’t even work in South Florida and I rarely work in Florida. And if I can avoid it, I rarely work in the U.S. I’d much rather work overseas. South Florida, it’s like all the big cities are just saturated. So, I mean, of course in between all my trips I get offered to do a million free things and I’m like, bro, I’ve been building my brand for 17 years. Like I’m not in the intern stage right now. Like, I already built my brand. I don’t, I don’t need your $20 meal for Instagram posts. I appreciate it though. But I mean, most hotels, they still evaluate influencers completely wrong. They obsess over follower accounts instead of trust and audience alignment. I can’t tell you how many times, so if somebody doesn’t know me, they don’t follow me on LinkedIn or a lot of other platforms and they just look from the outside looking in and they just see a big audience. So the first thing they’re gonna say, okay, this guy’s an influencer. Which I don’t mind. I still being an influencer, I hate it. But doing that is still a lot of what I do. Because yes, I travel with a video guy. They’re get and a photographer, one of the top photographers in hospitality by the way. And they both arrive here on Friday and we’re going on a cruise. So I do travel with a video guy and we do long form storytelling. We do a lot of things and we do complete photo shoots and this and that, but they always want my distribution. So like, I would never run away from that because I have a very good audience. I’m deep in the wine world. I’m deep in the finance world. I mean, my audience spends, so I know creators with massive audiences that couldn’t drive a booking if their life depended on it. Meanwhile, smaller niche creators, which strong trusts absolutely crush it because their audience actually listens to them. Listen, it’s the micro influencers that are killing it right now. Their engagement rates are in the teens, people like me, people with over a million followers, generally if you have a anywhere from one to 3% engagement rate, you’re killing it. I get very high engagement. So I mean, I just figured it out two days ago because I’m launching a new website and new media kit and whatnot. I just did my media kit or my engagement rate on Instagram so far in 2026 and I’m at 6.5%. Oh, that’s awesome. I mean, that’s like top tier, right? For somebody in my space. But I mean, most macro, most big, I think they call ’em mega like over one, two, 3 million. You’re lucky if you get one to 2%, but the numbers still work out to somebody who has 20,000 who’s getting an 11% engagement rate. Things like that. So, I mean, hotels need to stop treating creators like vending machines. Here’s a free room now, make us viral. It’s not a strategy. I can’t tell you how many hotels tell me that they want to go viral if I can help them. And I, and I asked them, I’m like, what is getting going viral gonna do for you? And they can’t answer going viral 90% of the time, does nothing. My photographer that I traveled with, he did a hyperlapse video on a river cruise that we were on of like a locks opening up and closing. It was very cool. I think it got like 12 or 15 million. I’ve never even gotten those numbers. I mean, he’s still sitting, like, he didn’t gain a hundred thousand followers. He didn’t get 10,000 brands commenting oor wanting to work with him. Viral does nothing without a proper strategy attached to it. What I mean? So the, the problem is these brands, they don’t do the research. I can’t tell you how many times I get reached out to and they’re like, Hey, we want you to do this campaign. And I’m like, this is not even my niche. Oh, sorry. It was a copy and paste email. Well, no kidding. Of course. It was like, it just, listen, over the next few years, creators are gonna evolve into, and they already are full blown media companies, production, distribution, consulting, storytelling, community building, all of it. The creator economy, let me tell you, and I’d much rather call it that than influencer space. It’s becoming one of the most powerful engines in hospitality because the bigger AI gets, and listen, a lot of these companies will go to the wayside. But AI, the technology is here. The bigger AI gets, the more valuable humans are gonna be. Cassady Quintana: Absolutely. We, we say that all the time, especially because AI is gonna fuel the tech. But at the heart of hospitality is the people and it will always be the people. And you can’t replace that people to people emotion. And like you said earlier in this episode about how that’s what you remember the most right. Is how the staff made you feel. And AI will never be able to do that. So I’m glad you brought up AI because we are seeing that start to shape the traveler journey. Like I mentioned with the integrations with Expedia and Instagram and their AI agents that are building these itineraries. So where do you think AI and social media and hospitality are headed now and in probably the next couple of years? Scott Eddy: I honestly think that most of the hospitality industry still underestimates how massive this shift is. This is bigger than social media. This is big tech, bigger than mobile phones, bigger than websites. AI is fundamentally changing how humans make decisions, right? We’re moving from search behavior to recommendation behavior. And that changes everything. Your website is no longer the front door to your brain. AI is becoming the front door. Yeah. Travelers are increasingly asking ai what hotel fits their personality, what cruise line matches their lifestyle, where they should go for a specific emotional experience. Yeah. So now your digital footprint matters more than any more than ever. Consistency matters more than ever. The brands that survive this next era are gonna be the brands that feel the most human, have the clearest voice and create the strongest emotional connection online, generic corporate garbage. You’re done. Cassady Quintana: Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, and we’re already in the middle of that. I feel like we know a lot of us, we don’t necessarily know how big AI is gonna be and where we’ll be this time next year. I mean, I bet in just a few weeks we could be having this conversation again and it would be something new. So course it’s definitely always changing and I recommend everyone that’s listening to this episode to follow you because this is the kind of stuff that you’re talking about and you’re following and it’s, it’s super important. Hotels are busy and a lot of the time they don’t have the time to do the research. So if they can find people like you to get that information from, it’s extremely helpful because it’s, it’s changing every single day. So if you can stay up to date and understand it and what’s going on and how you need to adjust your social strategy and your marketing strategy as a whole, you’re gonna be ahead of the pack. And so with that, thank you for all that awesome information. I kind of wanna shift gears to get to know you a little bit more Sure. With some rapid fire questions. So first thing that comes to mind that you can think of. So favorite hotel you’ve ever stayed in? Scott Eddy: I have a couple, but let’s say Kuda Duke in Maldives. Cassady Quintana: Alright. I love that. Scott Eddy: It’s insane. Insane. Cassady Quintana: Okay. And then what do you think is the most underrated destination right now? Scott Eddy: Right now? Sri Lanka. I lived in Colombo for a year. It’s seriously underrated. I think it’s, I mean, and it’s already bubbling, right? But I think it’s just gonna explode soon. Cassady Quintana: Is there a best time of year to visit there? Scott Eddy: Just like, you’re in Orlando, right? Cassady Quintana: Yeah, I’m in Orlando. Scott Eddy: So, so just like us, winter time is their high season just like Florida. Cassady Quintana: Okay. Noted. Perfect. Okay. Do you have any travel habits that you swear by? Scott Eddy: Yeah. I, and this is a life habit. I mean, just ’cause my whole life is travel, but I wake up super early every day and I’m up for the sunrise and I go for sunrise walks. If you ever follow, especially my Instagram stories, I’d post sunrise almost every day. I think there’s no better way to start the day. I think it’s impossible to have a bad day when you start the day like that. Cassady Quintana: Right. That’s why they recommend you get 10 minutes of sunlight every morning. Right. There’s, there’s something to that. So definitely everyone follows Scott’s Instagram so you can get that morning motivation for your walks. Okay. One hotel that is crushing social media right now, or one that you’ve seen recently that you loved? Scott Eddy: Wow. That is a great question. Wow. That’s a good question. . You can, there’s a lot out there you can tell. I didn’t really go over your notes, . Cassady Quintana: That’s okay. Scott Eddy: I never do. ’cause that’s like the, that’s when you get the raw answers? Cassady Quintana: Exactly. And then you overthink it. Scott Eddy: Let’s go back to that. Let me think about that for a couple minutes. Cassady Quintana: Okay, perfect. Well that was the last rapid fire question I had. So maybe people just need to follow you and find out later.. Scott Eddy: But let’s talk about brands as a whole. So like, I love, I love fun luxury and I guess they would call them luxury lifestyle or whatever, but I love the one hotels. Okay. All over. I really love, so if you really follow, I used to be, I used to do a lot of work with Ritz Carlton pre pandemic and now they’re just garbage. But horse, the guy who co-founded it started Capella. Capella Hotels is really cool, really fun. It’s just, I like brands that don’t take themselves too seriously. I mean, I hate the whole corporate stuffy stuff. And listen, I’m titanium bonvoy, like I stay in Marriott properties all over the world. Just so I can hit that status. Right. It’s easy because they’re large, they’re boring. The marketing is, I mean it’s, it’s so vanilla, it’s so beige. It’s so like, like it’s forgettable in 10 seconds. Never used to be, and it’s interesting. I remember when W first came out when they were Starwood. W was awesome. I mean fun, great, great, great. Like the marketing was like, just so off the chart and now they just look like any other hotel. Cassady Quintana: Which is so interesting. ’cause social media is like the place to be crazy and be fun because there are really no rules. And like why wouldn’t you be, especially if you were that at one time and your competitors are doing that. Why? I wanna, I wanna know like what the logic is behind that. Like are they trying to keep an image or? Scott Eddy: No? Well, well the ones that are that fly a big flag like Marriott and Hilton and that, they always hide behind, oh, well I can’t do that. ’cause of brain guidelines. Right? So you can’t show fun. Of course you can, right? They just hide behind the rule book and everything takes 15 approvals. So by the time you do have a good idea and you want to execute it, it’s gone. Cassady Quintana: It’s too late. The trend is over. Scott Eddy: It’s about speed. Cassady Quintana: Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I’ll definitely go check out those brand Instagram pages. ’cause that’s the kind of stuff I like to look at. I mean, that’s what makes me as a traveler, I don’t really have much brand loyalty. So I like to do research and look at their Instagram pages and social media, and I’m gonna pick the one that looks the most fun to me. So super important. Okay. Well as we wrap up, Scott, I’m so excited we had this conversation, but for anybody that’s listening, what are you up to next? Where can they find you? You have any campaigns or exciting things coming up? Scott Eddy: I mean, I’m pretty much, I mean, you’re all of this month I’m going, so the, the the top vacation club company and now they’re transforming into just hotels. Nice. But, it’s called Ante in Mexico. So they just launched their ultra luxury cruise line here in the med couple weeks ago. And we’re going out there to film and, and to shoot. That’s the cruise we’re joining on Saturday. And then I’m spending the last two weeks this month in Rome. And then next month I, I’m going to Ellie Miami the first week of June. And then I go to Sicily to speak at a conference. And yeah, so I’m going nonstop and at the same time I’m doing a whole rebrand. So in the next few days I’m launching new website, new logo, new everything. So it’s fun. Cassady Quintana: Well, perfect. By the time this episode comes out, you’ll have your full rebrand. Scott Eddy: There you go. Cassady Quintana: So when people listen to this and they find you, you’ll be ready. So, perfect. Well, I’m excited to, to watch your travels and of course I’m connected with you on LinkedIn and love to see everything that you’re up to. I’ll make sure to follow your Instagram too so I can get that morning inspiration for my Sunrise walks. But thank you so much for taking a little bit of your time out of your day. I know you’re super busy with travel and things going on, so I really appreciate it and I know our listeners do. So thanks for joining me. Scott Eddy: Thanks for having me, man.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins examines one of the most puzzling events in organized crime history—the 1971 shooting of Joe Colombo. At the height of his influence, Colombo stood before a crowd of nearly 50,000 at Italian Unity Day in New York City when he was gunned down by Jerome A. Johnson, a man posing as a journalist with a camera. The brazen daylight attack shocked both the public and law enforcement, immediately raising questions about motive, planning, and whether larger forces were at work.

Dario Colombo"L'ultimo treno"Minerva EdizioniÈ il 10 settembre 1919 e il trattato di Saint Germain sancisce ufficialmente il termine della Grande Guerra. Da quel momento il Trentino diviene in tutto e per tutto parte del Regno d'Italia che si era impegnato, per la sua conquista, in una lunga e devastante guerra contro l'impero austro-ungarico. Ma per i trentini, reduci dall'esilio forzato in Boemia, questa annessione non è l'inizio della tanto sospirata pace, bensì di un nuovo dramma che l'avvento del fascismo rende ancora più carico di tensioni. Per gli “italiani” loro sono ancora i sudditi dell'ex impero asburgico, insomma i nemici. E così queste genti conoscono nuovi ostacoli, dalle malversazioni della burocrazia ai ritardi e alla corruzione dilaganti nell'opera di ricostruzione dei paesi e delle città devastati dalla guerra, per finire con l'endemica mancanza di lavoro. È proprio la mancanza di quest'ultimo, e di prospettive per una vita serena, che spinge migliaia di trentini a salire ancora su un treno per intraprendere quello che sarà il terzo e ultimo esodo della loro storia. Sfuggendo alla miseria, ma anche a un regime fascista che giorno dopo giorno avrebbe privato il Trentino della sua identità, imponendo ai “fratelli redenti” un regime ancora più dispotico che nel resto d'Italia. Questo terzo volume della saga Boemia – Il popolo dimenticato conclude il racconto, seppur romanzato, di una pagina poco nota della storia del nostro Paese di cui è giusto conservare la memoria.Dario Colombo, giornalista metà lombardo e metà trentino, per oltre 40 anni ha lavorato per i principali periodici, quotidiani, radio e televisioni nazionali. Ha diretto la testata giornalistica di “Tele+” (oggi SKY). Grande appassionato di montagna e di storia della Prima guerra mondiale, è autore su questo argomento di numerosi libri, documentari, lavori teatrali e rievocazioni storiche. Dopo Boemia (2023), Montagne nere è il secondo romanzo della trilogia dedicata alle vicende del popolo trentino, esodato e bersagliato dagli sconvolgimenti storici del primo conflitto mondiale.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Seamus McElearney spent years as an FBI agent doing what nobody had done in over a hundred years — he flipped a made man inside the DeCavalcante crime family. The same family the world knows as the real life inspiration behind The Sopranos. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Seamus breaks down exactly how he did it and what happened next. What followed was one of the most remarkable chain reactions in FBI history — flipping one mobster led to three more cooperating witnesses, then a captain, then an acting boss. By the end Seamus and his team had solved eleven murders, convicted seventy one defendants and completely dismantled the DeCavalcante crime family. He also led the takedown of the Colombo and Bonanno families — arresting 120 members and associates including the top leadership of both organizations. _____________________________________________ #TheSopranos #FBI #organizedcrime _____________________________________________ Connect with Seamus McElearney: Buy His Book: https://www.amazon.com/Flipping-Capo-Dismantled-Real-Sopranos/dp/B0DWHS2YVS LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-mcelearney _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 The FBI Agent Who Took Down the Real Sopranos — Seamus's Story 00:20 Growing Up in the Bronx — How It Shaped the Agent He Became 02:56 The Education and Early Career That Led Him to the FBI 04:34 What FBI Selection and Training Actually Look Like From the Inside 07:58 Back to New York — Learning the City and His First Real Cases 09:21 His First Organized Crime Assignment and What It Really Looked Like 10:58 How It All Started — The Robbery and Murder That Opened the Case 13:03 The Witnesses Who Came Forward and How He Built the Investigation 15:39 Wiretaps Decoding Mob Communication and Recording the Evidence That Changed Everything 20:24 When the Arrests Began — Taking Down an Entire Crime Family 21:26 How He Built Enough Trust to Flip an Actual Made Man 25:36 The Domino Effect — How One Cooperator Brought Down an Entire Organization 30:33 Surveillance Searches and the Murders They Uncovered Along the Way 36:51 Preparing for Trial — The Challenge of Actually Convicting Mob Members 45:01 Inside the Courtroom — What It's Really Like Prosecuting Organized Crime 53:49 How Mob Investigation Tactics Have Evolved and Why It Matters 01:03:38 The Major Busts and How Technology Changed Organized Crime Forever 01:10:11 Why the Mob Never Dies and How Modern Gambling Keeps Them Alive 01:13:41 The Real Mob vs The Sopranos — What the Show Got Right and Wrong 01:20:14 Life After the Mob — Gangs Fraud and What Came Next 01:24:09 Retirement and the Private Sector — What Life Looks Like After the FBI 01:26:47 The Lessons From a Career Spent Taking Down America's Most Dangerous Criminals 01:32:17 The Ethics of Using Cooperators — Where the Line Really Is 01:33:02 Why Mob Cooperators Are Going Public and What It Means 01:33:37 Final Thoughts and His Book — What He Wants You to Know _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

When a seller says they want to interview other agents, most agents say "no problem" and drive away knowing they just lost the listing. That is not an objection. That is an emotion. And there is a word-for-word way to handle it before you ever leave the room.Most agents lose listings not during the pitch but at the close. The seller liked you. The appointment went well. And then they said they had another agent coming by later and you had nothing. You went quiet. You let it happen. The real problem is that nobody taught you what to say in that exact moment, not a generic reframe, but an actual sequential script that reads the seller's emotional state and gives you a precise path forward based on what they say next.Here is what this breaks down:✅ Why the seller wanting to interview more agents is an emotional objection, not a logical one, and why that distinction changes everything about how you respond✅ The full live real estate listing appointment roleplay so you can hear exactly how the conversation flows in real time, not just read a script off a page✅ The three decisions every seller must make before signing and how walking them through each one on the spot replaces pressure with clarity✅ How to use the Colombo close to relieve pressure while staying in the room and still moving toward a signature✅ The real estate objection handling script for isolating whether the hesitation is price, marketing, or commission, and how to address each one sequentially without guessing✅ What to do when the seller says they feel obligated to meet the other agent even though they have already decided, and how to offer to cancel that appointment on their behalfIf you want to understand how to close a listing appointment when the clock is already running on a competing agent showing up later that afternoon, this is the playbook.ƒ

We've been talking about LA Unbound on the podcast for so many episodes, but now we get to chat with Betsy Colombo, one of the co-founders, and learn how it all began! Betsy got her start "late" in ballet at age 12. She loved it and was so dedicated, taking 4 to 5 classes a week and going on pointe by age 14. She danced with her studio's pre-professional company but never felt like her technique was good enough to make it a career. She studied communications at college with a dance minor and was part of the dance company there. But after graduating, she moved to LA to work in the music industry, not knowing dance was about to become a huge part of her life's work! Betsy has now been co-running LA Unbound since 2007 and opened her own kids studio (Unbound Dance Studio) in 2018. Catch the full episode to hear how it all came about and how Betsy persevered through the hardship of the January 2025 wildfires that affected her studio in Altadena. Betsy is passionate to give dance opportunities to all ages and levels of dancers, and her ability to bring these visions to life is quite the inspiration.Follow our dance journeys on Instagram: @BetsyUhler@DanceJourneyPodcast@TracyinLA

Michael Franzese, the former Colombo crime family capo who once served time in the same cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, told NewsNation that physically, it would have been “impossible” for Epstein to hang himself in that space. Franzese emphasized the lack of structural elements such as ceiling fixtures or a high bed to facilitate hanging—elements he believes were necessary but absent in that cellHe also expressed deep skepticism about the reported missteps of jail staff and malfunctioning cameras that night. Drawing from his own prison experience, where guard watches were rigorous and surveillance unbroken, Franzese said he “just can't buy” the idea that corrections officers slept through checks or that cameras conveniently failed—all details that form the backbone of the official suicide narrative. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Suicide in Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell is 'impossible,' says mobsterBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins reports his previous contributor, Matt, who he interviewed on a new theory on the Carmine Galante hit, answers questions we have seen on various social media outlets. Matt claims the U.S. attorney and the FBI got it wrong when they alleged and convicted Bruno Indelicato for this murder. Challenging the official story, Matt reveals new theories, missing evidence, and the role of younger mobsters in one of the Mafia's most infamous assassinations. In this bonus episode, I had Matt record his answers to the doubters of his theory. click here to see the book Made on Long Island.   [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, this is Gary Jenkins, as a lot of you know, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective [0:06] and now podcast host and producer and all that. And I was contacted by my guest I had on recently, who was only known as Matt. He’s a guy who supplied all the information to the author of Brantley Scarbrough, who wrote Made in Long Island. That was just out a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve never met Scarborough, and I don’t know any more about him. and I’ve never met Matt in person. I’ve had some emails and some Zoom calls with Matt, but I’ve never actually seen him either. But I recognize his accent, and he does come from the Long Island, New York area. And he does have some interesting stories about growing up with younger mobsters and the Bonanno and Gambino families and doing the fireworks business with Gotti and some of the other horse racing fixing business and that kind of thing, but he made quite a claim that the accepted suspects and the hit on the banana wannabe boss, Carmine the Cigar Galante. [1:11] Was not who the government claims it is. [1:14] And the government only claims one guy, and that’s Bruno or Anthony Bruno Indelicato. He claims it was some young guys who had a grudge against Galante, and they heard that this hit was approved by the commission, and they jumped in there and did it before Joe Massino got his crew set and were all ready to go and carry out this approved hit. Now, there’s no dispute that the commission approved this hit, I don’t think. There may be some disagreement about who actually carried it out. I think there’s no doubt that the two Zips, who were bodyguards, Cesare Bonaventure and Baldassario Amato, did not resist the hit. They took no action and just walked out and left, and then were interviewed by the government later on. Of course, they wouldn’t say anything. They probably knew he was scheduled to be hit, and they knew this was coming. And both were promoted in the Bonanno family right after, so that tells you something. Now, in the commission trial, that’s where Anthony Delicato got convicted for the hit on Carmine Galante. And in the commission trial, the government did convict Tony Salerno, boss of the Genovese family. [2:26] Anthony Tony Dux Corralo, boss of the Lucchese family, Gennaro Jerry Lang Langella, the Colombo family acting boss and regular underboss, Salvatore Tom Mix Santoro, who was a Lucchese family underboss. Christopher Christie Tick Funari, Lucchese family consigliere. [2:45] Ralph, little Ralphie Scopo, the Colombo family soldier. Carmine Junior Persico, who was the boss of the Colombo crime family at that time. [2:55] Stefano Canone, Bonanno family consigliere. [3:00] Anthony Bruno Indelicato, Bonanno family capo. Paul Castellano and Mr. Neal, Neal Delacroche, were not in the trial because they died. They were charged, but they died just before the trial. Now, on the YouTube show we did, we got a lot of comments and Matt’s got a lot of questions. And he wants to address and clarify why he doesn’t believe that the government’s claim that Anthony Delacato and two unknown men killed Galante. So I said, you know, I don’t know what to tell you. I said, you know, record and clarify your claim and see if you can address any of these questions that people have had in the comments section. Now, this may end up like all the competing theories on Jimmy Hoffa’s death and where his body by body might be. I don’t know. But at least Frank Sheeran, the Irishman, did not claim the Galante hit as best I can remember. So anyhow, here’s Matt’s story. I just want to say thank you so much for the interest we’ve generated from Gary’s Gangland podcast. [4:03] A lot of learning goes on here, and that’s where I’m going to start off. One item keeps coming up, and believe me, I’m not being the slightest bit condescending. If you don’t study this stuff and look at it, you have no way of knowing this. If you were to punch in right now, because we’ve done it, like Google searches, what evidence was used against Bruno and Delicato? Well, one thing that comes up, and a couple people referenced in the emails and on the posts, was ballistics. [4:27] They had ballistic evidence against Bruno Indelicato. Boy, that’s pretty strong. I mean, ballistic evidence is very, very strong. So let’s go through the ballistic evidence. Let me start off by saying there’s none. What you’re reading on that, and if you read the fine print closely and go back to the source, that is AI-generated garbage. That’s why we don’t like AI. The definition of ballistic evidence would be something like this. We pulled a slug out of a wall. We pulled a slug out of a victim. We locked a guy up. The guy had that gun on him. We matched that slug to that gun. That is ballistic evidence. There was absolutely none of that presented against Bruno Indelicato, despite what AI says. Again, if you take away one thing, please take away the fact that don’t ever use AI as a source. Now, I know one other thing people asked about was the progression on all this. And again, the book details it with so many stories, so many different John Gotti stories in there that people never heard about. But here’s a brief summary of the progression. [5:28] Our friends were young. We were crazy. We dealt fireworks. We dealt so much, they had to bring in the boss. The boss at that time for that area was John Gotti. To us, it was the same as John Smith. We never heard of the guy. He was great to us. We sold a ton of fireworks. He gave us more and more locations, more and more responsibility. Our friends made a fortune. One of our friends, we thought, had a car accident. Two of the bodyguards who helped our friends kill Galante, Baldo and Chesaree, they approached us at a wake and said, look, your friend was not the victim of an accident. Your friend was the victim of a homicide authorized by Galante. We verified there was bulletholes in his car from the impound yard, from the police sources we had. Kept it under wraps for two years. One of the card games, Angelo got word to our friend Tommy that the commission, in fact, did authorize a hit on Galante. The hit was to be done conjunctively with the Gambinos and the Bananos. Our friend Tommy jumped the gate. He said, we’re going to avenge our friend’s death, put together the team that did it. The details are shocking about what our team did to get the hit done. I mean, details you’re shocked about an alibi jumping off of a boat to create an alibi. I want people to read about this. Having police sources helping the hit, Including holding the spaces on July 12th When the hit went down Holding two different parking spaces at that location I hope this helps people Now I want to get back to another one that keeps coming up People keep saying Oh well they’re on tape celebrating. [6:57] People, please, we’ve made some videos on this at YouTube. Go look at them. You can pull them up. They’re online. You can find them. [7:05] There’s a bunch of sources that have them. Watch the raw video. That is not a celebration. That is a beef being put in. Sonny Red Indelicato is furious. He’s going at it with his consigliere, Stefano Canaan, Stevie Beefs. And you can see in his face, you can see his body language and mannerisms. He walks away from him and then he rushes back quickly and goes to his face. That is not a celebration. That’s anger. Stefano Canone actually points in back of him, pointing at the Ravenite. And he’s basically telling him, look, we’ve registered the beef. Neil is inside. Neil is trying to decipher all of this also, because, again, the whole conflict was this. The commission ordered this hit. People say, oh, they approved that. I’m telling you, the commission, the ones who ordered the hit, they gave the work to Joe Massino, who was going to oversee the job. However, the commission specified that it had to be done jointly between the Gambino family and the Bonanno family. Sonny Red and Indelicato was furious that he was left out of the hit. Simultaneously, John Gotti over in Ozone Park, Queens, was furious that he was let out of the hit. [8:19] You just have to understand, in Cosa Nostra, you do not go out and celebrate a hit after it’s done. You don’t even show your face. Everything in a hit like this is meticulously planned and organized. You know exactly where the getaway cars are going to go and who’s going to chop them up. There is no shot in the world that an expert like Sonny Redd is going to leave a getaway car from a triple homicide out in the middle of the street. That does not happen. Let me tell you something. That’s called botching a hit, both of those acts. If you botch a hit in Cosa Nostra, you’re the next one on the other end of the next hit. You’re going to get hit. There’s plenty of cases where people screwed up hits and didn’t dispose of vehicles properly, and they’re the next ones to get hit. So anyone who thinks it’s a celebration and thinks that that’s Cosa Nostra protocol to go out and celebrate is sadly mistaken. That’s why right away the FBI and Cosa Nostra members knew, obviously, Sonny Red Indelicato, his brother JB, Phil Lucky, Bruno and Delicato, all those guys had nothing to do with the hit. If they did, they would have been buried in a safe house. They would not be out in front of what we call the FBI screen test at Mr. Neal’s Club, the Ravenite in Manhattan. Now, people also say another phrase or two that I really love, the smell test. Okay, the smell test. Let’s talk about that. You had two trials going on simultaneously in 1985. [9:48] Same building, Brooklyn, Pizza Connection case and the commission case. The FBI had been broken down into five different squads, one for each family. You know them all, Colombo, Gambino, Lucchese, Genovese, and of course, the Bonanno. Now, the Bonanno section of the FBI, the Bonanno squad, had the most to do in these cases. Most, if not all, the pizza connection focused on the Bonannos, and a good chunk, especially 100% of the Gallant they hit, focused on the Bonannos, and that was in the commission case. These guys talk to each other. They live, eat, and breathe with each other. So if you want to talk about a smell test, can somebody tell me why in Richard Martin, he was the prosecutor, by the way, in the Pizza Connection case, they absolutely refused to say who killed Delonte in that case? [10:39] They came out and said in the indictment and in testimony, three unknown males killed Delonte. [10:46] Now, people talk about it’s easy to see. Bruno and Delicato did it. So you want to tell me that five and six years after the hit, FBI agents that were on the Banano squad, they couldn’t come out and say Bruno and Delicato did it. Why? Because they knew he didn’t. They didn’t want to get a perjury rap. Richard Martin didn’t want to blow his case by telling nonsense that Bruno and Delicato did it. If it was common knowledge that Bruno Indelicato did it, and if there was a legitimate shred of evidence that Bruno Delicato did the work, the Pizza Connection case would have also said Bruno Indelicato is one of the shooters. It did not. That’s what doesn’t pass the smell test. But they even went to an appellate court to throw out any testimony about Galante’s murder in the Pizza Connection case. And sure enough, the judge agreed and said, yeah, we’re not putting one stitch of Galante’s murder in the Pizza Connection case. Now, had those FBI agents in the Bonanno Squad had presented legitimate evidence against Bruno and Delicato in the Pizza Connection case, be it ballistic, be it anything, the judge wouldn’t have done that, but he did. Read the transcripts of the case we have. There was nothing like that presented against Bruno in that case. And again, that’s why the FBI in the Pizza Connection case kept saying, we have no idea who killed Carmine Galante. That is critical for people to understand. [12:10] And last note, I want to get on to people wondering about the Joe Messino angle. Yes, Joe Messino, when he flipped right out after his conviction, he gave up murders all the way back from 1969. Now, Joe Mezzino had a motivation. If he left out any crime or any detail and failed to disclose anything, they throw him out of the program. They did the same to gas pipe case, so they threw him out of the program. So Joe Messino, of course, is going to tell the feds every single thing he knew about the Bonanno family’s involvement with the Galante hit. [12:46] Joe Messino, you know, did come out and say, yes, he got the order and he informed Rusty about the hit. But notice that’s when the trail stops. Joe Messina, who was a hands on guy, never came back and said, hey, Sonny Red did the hit with his kid Bruno and his brother JB. He gave them no details why because he didn’t have details thank you so much again for all of your questions and comments so guys that’s matt’s reasoning and that’s his story the government did not charge or convict any of the others for this murder any other people for this murder in that commission trial now those guys who were convicted were convicted for racketeering under rico and the murder of Galante was not a racketeering. That was a criminal predicate offense that proved that there was an organization known as a commission. It existed, and they ordered criminal acts. And this was a criminal act that they ordered. They need a predicate act where they’ve ordered criminal acts. And the Galante hit was one of them, and murder’s the best one to throw out there. And I think they convicted him based on his palm print on the getaway car that they found. [13:55] They never claimed during the trial to know the other two hit men. So I’ll leave it up to you guys to argue this out in the comments section on my YouTube shows with Matt or on this one here. And he’ll be monitoring those and, you know, come back with any questions that you have. So thanks, Matt, for this interesting look at Young Associates of Gotti and the fireworks business and the horse race fixing business and your theory based on information from your friends in the younger element of the New York mob. And you were kind of on the periphery of that yourself and the people that you [14:29] talked to that were really basically were involved in this hit and the setup. I thought it was really slick using cops to block out parking spots and then to pull out if it was all good to go. And leave the area so that’s uh didn’t have ring cameras and all the cameras back then so we’re gonna never know how much all that’s true you know but it’s uh history is is kind of an agreed upon set of facts or lies or whatever because eventually we agree upon it and that’s becomes the history and this is some of the history of the new york mob in the 70s to the 80s and the murder of Lilo or Carmine the Cigar Galante. Thanks, guys, so much for tuning in. And don’t forget to hit on YouTube, like and subscribe. Post this on your own social media pages and let other people know about the show. We like to get a lot of people watching or listening and watching to the show.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   Oh boy, we are just days away from Milan Sanremo. La Primavera, the first monument of the season, La Classicissima - whatever you want to call it - this race is guaranteed action every single year.    This month's episode of Life In The Peloton is an absolute bumper sized deep dive into this perfect bike race from the people who know it better than anyone. We've got previous winners, podium finishers, and passionate riders that dedicate their season to this race - plus experts who know the history of this monumental affair better than anyone.   We kick off with some context from master stat man - Dr Cillian Kelly. He teaches me a thing or two about the history of this race, where it sits compared to the other monuments, and why it is - statistically - the perfect bike race.    Next, a guy who is possibly the most passionate person on earth about Sanremo; Max Sciandri. Max raced MSR 13 times as a professional, and has driven the race as a sports director at least the same number of times. His best finish as a rider was an agonising 4th place behind Colombo in 1996, but he dedicated his career to trying to win this beautiful race. Is there anyone who knows the 300 odd kilometers between Milan and Sanremo better than Max? I don't think so.   OK That's the cruisy first 150km of the ep - now we're over the Turchino and onto the coast for the build up to the finale; it's time to hear from some riders. John Degenkolb, Matt Goss, Heinrich Haussler, and Michael Matthews. If you know Sanremo, you know that these guys are total legends of the race. Between the 4 of them they've got 2 wins, 4 podiums, and 5 other top 10 placings. What's the key to getting up there on the Via Roma? These guys will tell you.   Guys, this is an episode I'm so excited about because it really feels like it takes you inside the Peloton. I only raced San Remo 2 times in my pro career, so talking to these guys who are so experienced in and passionate about this beautiful, iconic race was really eye opening.    This ep will take you from your first espresso of the day right through to your evening aperitivo and tell  you everything you need to know about the first monument of the season to get you hyped up for the weekend. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.    Cheers, Mitch   This episode is sponsored by JOIN Cycling. Train smarter with adaptive plans and efficient workouts.
