Envía tu comentarioAllá por los años cuarenta, se instituyó en Cuba la Comisión de Ética Radial, encargada de prohibir la difusión de todo aquello que atentara contra la moral y las buenas costumbres. Fue así como decenas de piezas musicales, muchas de ellas verdaderos hits, pasaron por la censura. Y, a juzgar por su repertorio de la época, si hubo una agrupación que provocó a los censores verdaderos dolores de cabeza, ese fue el Trío Servando Díaz. En 1939, Servando decide organizar un trío, que llevaría su nombre, con Octavio Cuso Mendoza y Otilio Portal. En particular, Otilio se caracterizaría por sus guarachas, todas cargadas de buena dosis de pimienta y del llamado doble sentido del cubano. Tal cualidad le valió al Trío Servando Díaz el apelativo de Los Trovadores Sonrientes.Corría el año 1945 cuando, en la RHC Cadena Azul, debuta el nuevo miembro del trío, Mario Recio, voz segunda y compositor, quien procedía del Conjunto Kubavana, de Alberto Ruiz. En el 49, se integran al elenco del Show de la Mañana, también de la CMQ, conducido por el propio Iglesias y por Germán Pinelli. Fue esta la etapa dorada del Trío Servando Díaz, cuya popularidad se debió, sobre todo, a las guarachas de su repertorio.Esta vez, en el acostumbrado Calendario Musical de Cuba, el cantante Rolito Rodríguez, La Reina del Guaguancó Celeste Mendoza y el pianista y compositor Orlando de la Rosa.Support the show¡SUSCRÍBETE!: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1702252/subscribe

This episode traces the Marine Corps' transformation from the late 1800s into the modern force recognized today. It begins with the creation of Parris Island and the evolution of Marine training, from tents and marshland to a world-class recruit depot tested by war, tragedy, and reform. The story moves through Panama, where Marines became America's instrument of order, and into the age of steel ships and global ambition. It follows their battles in Cuba, the Philippines, and across Central America during the Banana Wars, where the Corps learned the lessons of small wars, air-ground coordination, and constabulary duty. Figures like Charles Heywood, John A. Lejeune, and Smedley Butler emerge as the architects of a professional, expeditionary force. By the time the last Marines left Nicaragua in 1933, the Corps had been reshaped, no longer a naval guard but a global instrument of American power, forged in hardship and defined by purpose.

  More than twenty thousand Hispanic Americans served in the Civil War. When Cuban-born Loreta Velázquez's husband would not allow her to join him on the battlefield, she assumed the role of First Lieutenant Harry T. Buford to be near him. Philip Bazaar, born in Chile, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous exploits during the assault of Fort Fisher. The spying efforts of Floridian Maria Dolores Sánchez and her two sisters led to a Union defeat at the Battle of Horse Landing.    Delving into the lives of these individuals, historian A.J. Schenkman, author of Hispanic Americans of the Civil War, published by the History Press in 2025, uncovers this often-overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Hispanic soldiers came from different countries. Mexico had declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and later abolished slavery in 1837. Some soldiers and sailors traced their families to Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were still part of Spain. Or from Spain itself or its other colonies.    In this episode, Schenkman uncovers a bombshell story about New Haven's Augusto Rodríguez, the first known Civil War soldier from Puerto Rico. When this story was published in the Summer 2025 issue of Connecticut Explored magazine, the phone started to ring off the hook. Television news channels and newspapers quickly picked up this remarkable story.  Grating the Nutmeg has covered the courageous Puerto Rican men of the 65th regiment founded in 1899 when Puerto Rico became a United States territory in episode #184 but not someone this early in our military history.   A. J. Schenkman is a New York-based writer. He is a social studies teacher in Ulster County, New York, and a former municipal historian. Schenkman is also author of several books about local, regional, and national history. He currently writes for Litchfield and Dutchess Magazines, as well as the Shawangunk Journal.   To contact A.J.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Open for Business! President Donald Trump officially signed legislation reopening the federal government after a 43-day shutdown. The segment opens with audio from Trump at the Resolute Desk, where he criticizes Democrats for what he calls an attempted “extortion” of American taxpayers to fund benefits for illegal immigrants. Clay and Buck analyze the political fallout, questioning whether Democrats will repeat shutdown tactics in 2026 as part of their midterm election strategy. The conversation transitions into a broader discussion on Senate filibuster reform, with Clay advocating for procedural changes to prevent future shutdowns driven by minority party obstruction. Buck adds historical context, referencing past filibuster modifications and the potential consequences of further rule changes. Uncle Bill: All for Nothing A wide-ranging interview with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly. Clay and Buck do a deep dive into the political fallout from the recent government shutdown, which O’Reilly attributes to far-left consultants steering the Democratic Party into a failed strategy aimed at making pandemic-era Obamacare spending permanent. He argues that the shutdown hurt millions of Americans and yielded no real gains for Democrats, who now risk being branded as the “mean party” heading into the 2026 midterms. The hosts and O’Reilly also discuss the resurfacing of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which they believe was used as a distraction from Democratic missteps. The conversation shifts to the 2028 presidential race, where Clay and Buck predict Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the likely Democratic ticket. O’Reilly disagrees, citing Newsom’s poor record in California, including mass outmigration and corruption scandals, and suggests Maryland Governor Wes Moore as a more viable alternative. The trio also debate the dangers of artificial intelligence in politics and media, highlighting the rise of deepfake videos and AI-generated misinformation. O’Reilly references a false image involving President Donald Trump that was cited by Rep. Melanie Stansberry, warning that AI will make it increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from fiction. The hosts call for urgent reform of defamation and libel laws to protect public figures and citizens from malicious AI content. What H-1B Visas Are Supposed To Be The H-1B visa program triggers a contentious exchange between Laura Ingraham and President Trump. Trump defends the need for foreign talent in specialized industries, while Ingraham argues that American workers should be prioritized. Buck provides data indicating that over 750,000 H-1B visa holders are currently working in the U.S., with India accounting for 75% of recent recipients. Clay and Buck debate whether the program is being abused by corporations to undercut American wages and bypass domestic hiring. Buck clarifies that Trump’s comments about lacking domestic talent were aimed at highly specialized roles, such as semiconductor manufacturing, where foreign expertise is temporarily needed. Multiple callers share firsthand experiences with H-1B hires, sparking a robust debate. A computer programmer from California claims foreign workers were paid less despite equal performance. A North Carolina business owner defends the program, citing higher productivity among foreign hires. An engineering manager warns of wage suppression and offshoring trends, while another caller shares how his son’s defense contractor job was outsourced to foreign engineers despite national security concerns. Female Mamdani? Clay and Buck dive into some breaking news, cultural commentary, and audience-driven debate, beginning with reports of a violent incident involving Alina Habba, a U.S. attorney in New Jersey, whose office was attacked by a bat-wielding suspect. Clay and Buck highlight the growing concern over left-wing violence and express relief that Habba is unharmed. They also cover Senator John Fetterman’s hospitalization following a fall caused by a ventricular fibrillation episode, noting his humorous response and drawing parallels to historical political wit. The hour transitions into a critique of Michelle Obama’s recent comments on race and beauty, with Clay and Buck arguing that identity politics are eroding public discourse. They dissect her career trajectory, including her high-paying diversity role at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and question the merit of such positions. This leads into a broader discussion about the Democratic Party’s push for government-run grocery stores, citing examples from Seattle and New York City. Clay and Buck mock the idea as reminiscent of failed socialist models like Cuba, and reference studies—including one from The New York Times—showing that increased access to healthy food does not necessarily change consumer behavior in low-income communities. Clay and Buck argue that food deserts are often misrepresented and that consumer choice, not corporate abandonment, drives product availability. They emphasize the inefficiency of government-run enterprises, citing failed experiments in cities like Kansas City, and warn against policies that ignore market realities. The conversation includes a call from a listener in Rochester, New York, who explains that theft and crime—not lack of demand—are driving grocery stores out of urban areas. The hosts agree, noting that store closures also eliminate local jobs and further destabilize communities.

Cuando la Biblia informa nuestra mente, también transforma nuestra manera de vivir.

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this 16 part series. This is Part -14. Events happened   During 1967 March to 1967 September - Health Issues - Cheatings and back stabbings - Unfavourable conditions from all directions - Still moving forward, marching ahead are covered in this episode.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.A storm can level homes, but it also reveals what we stand on. Hurricane Melissa's record winds and devastating surge tore through Jamaica and neighboring territories, but the story is bigger than wind speed—it's a living history of language, science, memory, and community that runs through the Caribbean. We trace the roots of “hurricane” to Taino and Kalinago cosmologies, revisit Cuba's pioneering forecasting under Father Benito Viñez, and connect these legacies to today's urgent fight for climate justice and long-term recovery.I open up about the shock of seeing beloved places underwater and the ache of waiting on WhatsApp for family updates from afar. This episode offers more than reflection; it's a roadmap. You'll hear concrete ways to help now and sustain support later, from vetted donations and mutual aid to advocacy for loss-and-damage financing and regional capacity-building. If the Caribbean sits on the front lines of climate change while contributing the least to its causes, then fairness means resources, protection, and policy that match the stakes. Listen, share the links, and stand with communities rebuilding today for a safer tomorrow.

Clara Barton, the founder of the Red Cross, was in Havana in 1898, investigating the terrible conditions endured by Cubans whom the Spanish government had forced into concentration camps, where an estimated 425,000 people died of disease and starvation. While she was there, the American warship USS Maine exploded in Havana's harbor, which served as the pretext for an American invasion, leading to the Spanish-American War. The United States swiftly invaded and won the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898 due to its superior naval power, the decisive charge led by Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" at San Juan Hill, and the crucial assistance from Cuban insurgents against the already exhausted Spanish forces. In the wake of the Spanish-American war, the United States freed Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from Spanish control and, in turn, became an empire. This created beliefs that America was a stern yet benevolent country tasked by Destiny to enforce peace and bring prosperity to the world. That comforting thought was soon disproven, especially in the Philippines, whose people discovered they had merely swapped one colonial power for another. They then endured a vicious war that saw an estimated 600,000 Filipino deaths. Whereas the Cuban campaign brought glory to Theodore Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, “the Philippine War would be America’s most quickly forgotten war, the one least celebrated in song or legend, the one least memorialized.” And for good reason, Jackson recounts: American soldiers committed countless atrocities while being felled right and left by disease and starvation themselves; many soldiers committed suicide, and others deserted to join Filipino rebels. Today’s guest is Joe Jackson, author of “Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and the Birth of the American Empire.” We look at this decisive war that turned American into a global power, and how poor planning turned into a disaster in the Philippines, creating our first quagmire of a war, long before Iraq or Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cuando entendemos que lo único verdaderamente “secular” es el pecado, todo en la vida diaria —desde cocinar frijoles hasta un día de playa o el duelo por un ser querido— se convierte en una oportunidad para discipular a nuestros hijos y vivir para la gloria de Dios. En este episodio, reflexionamos sobre el llamado de los padres a ser pastores de sus hogares en medio de una cultura global cada vez más secularizada.

Discurso del líder de UNPACU José Daniel Ferrer en la ceremonia para recibir la Medalla de la Libertad Truman-Reagan otorgada en el 2020 por la Fundación Memorial Víctimas del Comunismo.

This week we are joined by Jason Christian of Cold War Cinema to talk about 1984's propaganda vehicle, "Red Dawn." Directed by John Milius, the film stars Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and C. Thomas Howell as teenagers engaging in a guerilla war against the completely improbable and nonsensical invasion of the United States by the combined forces of the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua. We discuss the paradox of the Soviet Union in cinema as the most dangerous evil in the world while simultaneously being incredibly stupid, how that is a more accurate representation of the US in reality, Milius's reputation as a right wing crank, the deep ties between US cinema and anti communist propaganda, and ask Jason why he made us watch this absolute dog's dinner of a movie.

Dernière ligne droite au Chili avant le premier tour de la présidentielle qui aura lieu ce dimanche. Selon les sondages, se trouve en tête de cette élection polarisée, la candidate du bloc de gauche, Jeannette Jara, suivie de trois candidats de droite et d'extrême droite. Aucun des huit candidats en lice ne remporterait le scrutin dès dimanche ; il y aurait, donc, un second tour en décembre. À quelques jours du vote, chacun jette ses dernières forces dans la bataille. Hier soir, (10 novembre 2025) avait lieu le dernier débat à la télévision. Naïla Derroisné, notre correspondante à Santiago, l'a suivi.   La « carcel del encuentro », prison de haute sécurité en Équateur En Équateur, une nouvelle prison de haute sécurité est entrée en service hier, dans la province de Santa Elena, dans l'ouest du pays. Trois cents prisonniers, parmi les plus dangereux que compte le pays, y sont désormais détenus. Il n'y a pas eu d'inauguration officielle de la « carcel del encuentro », souligne le site Primicias.  Le gouvernement a décidé d'accélérer le mouvement suite aux affrontements qui ont lieu dimanche dans la prison de Machala, dans le sud-ouest du pays. Affrontements qui ont fait 31 morts et qui ont éclaté en réaction justement aux futurs transferts dans cette nouvelle prison, explique El Universo. Cette prison qui est gérée et surveillée par la police et l'armée, pas par l'administration pénitentiaire, comme le souligne El Mercurio, est une copie du Cecot, l'établissement pénitentiaire de haute sécurité, construit au Salvador et critiqué en raison de violations des droits humains, explique Primicias. La « carcel del encuentro » compte 800 places. Elle est protégée par six miradors de 9,50 m de haut, un mur de 9 mètres, et des brouilleurs d'internet et de téléphone, y compris satellitaire. C'est simple, les détenus n'auront aucun contact avec l'extérieur. Aucun contact entre eux non plus. La prison dispose d'un système de vidéosurveillance qui surveille en permanence, avec l'intelligence artificielle, le comportement des prisonniers, précise le journal Metro. À Cuba, le procès de l'ex-ministre de l'Économie commence aujourd'hui C'est à travers un bref communiqué de la Cour suprême lu pendant le journal de Canal Caribe hier midi que l'information a été dévoilée. Une annonce, la veille de l'ouverture du procès, alors qu'Alejandro Gil, ministre de l'Économie et de la planification de 2018 à 2024, accusé notamment d'espionnage et de corruption, est le plus haut fonctionnaire jamais traduit en justice à Cuba au cours de ces dernières décennies, s'étonne 14ymedio. Sa famille n'était pas au courant et ne sait pas si elle pourra assister à l'audience, ajoute le site qui s'est entretenu avec sa sœur. Contrairement à ce qu'avaient demandé les proches d'Alejandro Gil, le procès aura lieu à huis clos, souligne 14ymedio. La Cour suprême n'a pas spécifié combien de temps il durerait, ni si l'ancien ministre sera jugé pour l'ensemble des faits qui lui sont reprochés. Pas plus de précisions sur les preuves dont elle dispose, insiste le site indépendant qui rappelle que ce manque de transparence dans les affaires judiciaires, c'est la norme à Cuba. À La Havane, un hommage à Celia Cruz, la reine de la salsa Cette soirée, qui devait avoir lieu initialement le 19 octobre pour le centenaire de la naissance de la chanteuse, mais qui a été interdite par le régime, s'est finalement déroulée dimanche soir. C'était « spectaculaire », selon Reinaldo Escobar, le journaliste de 14ymedio, qui y était et semble avoir été emporté comme tout le public. « On a dansé, on a applaudi, on en a profité », écrit-il. Celia Cruz « symbolise la part la plus optimiste, sensuelle et festive de l'âme cubaine, tellement maltraitée par des décennies de sévérité feinte et de discours publics qui exaltent la rancœur et la haine de l'autre », poursuit le journaliste. Pour certains des participants, cette soirée était exceptionnelle parce que c'était la première fois qu'ils écoutaient des chansons de Celia Cruz hors de chez eux. Cette soirée avait un petit goût de « rébellion, de quelque chose que l'on fait même si les chiens de la censure aboient tout près, vraiment tout près », poursuit 14ymedio. Et quant aux répercussions, aux conséquences pour les organisateurs de cette soirée, on va reprendre les mots d'une femme qui a dansé toute la nuit : « On verra bien demain ». Haïti : reprise des connexions entre Miami et Les Cayes Comme chaque mardi, Anne Cantener est en ligne avec Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence haïtienne Alterpresse. Avec lui, elle évoque la reprise des vols internationaux aux Cayes, dans le sud d'Haïti, la situation à Tabarre où un « calme relatif » règne après une opération policière, et les promesses d'aide financière et logistique du Qatar. De retour, le président du Conseil, président de transition, s'est entretenu avec la presse haïtienne hier. Selon lui, le Qatar va débourser 44 millions de dollars pour soutenir la Force de lutte contre les gangs, la santé, le logement, l'entrepreneuriat et l'organisation d'élections en 2026. Dans un article à la Une de son site, Alterpresse se penche d'ailleurs sur ce futur scrutin tant attendu. Les forêts du Panama Alors que la COP 30 commence difficilement et sans grandes ambitions au Brésil, notre dossier du jour nous emmène dans les forêts du Panama. Elles représentent plus de la moitié du territoire et sont presque toutes protégées. Il existe, par exemple, un label sur la gestion durable des forêts délivré par l'ONG Forest Stewardship Council. Elle vient de tenir une assemblée générale et notre correspondant Grégoire Pourtier y était. Le journal de la 1ère Le patron de l'Office national anti-stupéfiants est en Martinique.

En Ecuador continúa la violencia penitenciaria. El último enfrentamiento entre dos grupos criminales ha dejado este domingo 31 presos asesinados y más de 30 heridos. Además, el presidente Daniel Noboa, ha pedido el traslado de 300 reclusos, entre ellos, el exvicepresidente Jorge Glas, a la nueva cárcel de máxima seguridad, 'El Encuentro'. Después, continuamos pendientes de cómo avanza la cumbre climática, COP30, en la Amazonía brasileña. También, hablamos de la ayuda humanitaria que recibe Cuba, Jamaica y Haití tras la destrucción que dejó el huracán Melissa. Y, comentamos las conclusiones de la IV cumbre entre la Unión Europea y la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (CELAC).A continuación, nos acercamos a los Premios de Sostenibilidad Rockwoold 2025 con la galardonada Ignacia Meza, arquitecta que presentó su trabajo Cánticos del Guapi, con construcciones sostenibles en Chile; con Albert Grau, responsable de Relaciones Institucionales de los premios, y con Mauro Manca, profesor de Sostenibilidad en la Universidad de Cataluña.Escuchar audio

La semana pasada el portaaviones Gerald Ford llegó al Caribe, lo que convierte al despliegue aeronaval frente a Venezuela en el mayor que ha organizado la armada de Estados Unidos en varias décadas. Lo están complementando con vuelos de bombarderos B-52 y B-1 que han realizado simulacros de bombardeo a menos de 20 millas de la costa venezolana. A finales de octubre los medios informaron que Trump ha revisado personalmente una lista de objetivos, lo que podría significar que planean un ataque inminente. Hasta ahora se han limitado a hundir lanchas sospechosas de transportar drogas, lo que sin duda ha afectado al régimen chavista ya que una parte de sus ingresos proviene del narcotráfico. Pero un despliegue semejante para tan poca cosa parece desproporcionado. Trump ha prometido escalar la campaña con la intención expresa de derrocar a Nicolás Maduro y poner fin a su régimen. Una invasión terrestre es improbable por dos razones de peso: el despliegue no está configurado para ello y va contra los principios de política exterior de Trump, que desde 2017 rechaza cambios de régimen al estilo Irak. En una entrevista hace unos días negó que tuviese la intención de invadir Venezuela pero, a renglón seguido, aseguró que los días de Maduro están contados. Su objetivo es acabar con el chavismo, pero sin intervención directa, seguramente apostando por un colapso interno animado desde fuera. EEUU podría contribuir a ese colapso con inteligencia, operaciones encubiertas y posibles ataques quirúrgicos desde la distancia. Esto podría provocar movilizaciones opositoras, presión callejera y una rebelión militar. Es lo último que falta por probar en Venezuela. Todas las medidas anteriores (sanciones, aislamiento diplomático y apoyo internacional a la oposición) han dañado la imagen del chavismo, pero no han conseguido ni acabar con él, ni ablandarlo. El chavismo se vale continuamente de negociaciones dilatorias. Ofrece diálogo a cambio de una tregua y entretanto gana tiempo y arranca concesiones que luego retiene. Dentro de Venezuela Trump tendrá muchos apoyos. Tras el fraude electoral del año pasado la oposición, exhausta y frustrada, ve en él una esperanza. El chavismo no es una dictadura convencional, sino una banda criminal que controla un Estado petrolero y obtiene cuantiosos ingresos del narcotráfico y la minería ilegal. Hasta ahora se ha intentado forzar a Gobierno de Maduro a equivocarse o facilitar una transición dialogada. Nada ha funcionado. Solo queda apostar activamente por una implosión del régimen sin invasión directa, pero interviniendo mediante operaciones encubiertas y ataques a objetivos muy localizados que podrían activar el instinto de autopreservación de las fuerzas armadas. Desconocemos si en eso consiste el plan, pero ningún Gobierno estadounidense ha presionado tanto desde que se instauró el chavismo, lo que abre posibilidades inéditas hasta ahora. El éxito depende de que los planes sean realistas, tengan apoyo en casa y se ejecuten correctamente. Pero no hay nada garantizado, ni siquiera la intervención misma.

The biggest climate negotiations of the year, COP30, are kicking off in Belem in the Brazilian Amazon. Longtime COP observer Jennifer Morgan joins us to preview COP30 and discuss the focus on closing the gap between current greenhouse gas reduction policies and what's needed to limit warming to a safer level. Also, King Charles III, who leads the Anglican Church, and Pope Leo XIV, who leads the Roman Catholic Church, recently joined in a historic prayer in the Sistine Chapel. This act of unity by these two faith leaders who are also sovereign heads of state was embedded in their shared concern for the environment, or creation.    And as one of the strongest hurricanes ever documented in the Atlantic, Hurricane Melissa brought catastrophic damage to Jamaica and Cuba, and an extensive relief and recovery effort is now underway. We talk about the aid efforts, long road to recovery, and importance of building back better.     ---    Federal funding for public radio has ended.
