People who live in Inwood know how truly special it is. Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood (aside from Marble Hill) feels like it's outside of the city -- and in some places, even outside of time and space. Unlike the lower Manhattan's flat avenues and organized streets, Inwood varies wildly in elevation and its streets wind up hills and down into valleys.It's a twenty minute walk from the mysterious "Indian caves" to some of the best Dominican food in New York City. You can experience the ghosts of Gilded Age mansions close to New York's last remaining forest. Revolutionary War artifacts sit a few blocks away from vestiges of a 20th century Irish community.In this special on-location episode, Greg Young and producer Kieran Gannon wind their way through the streets of Inwood and through (that's right) thousands of years of history -- from salt marshes to old amusement parks, from ancient arches to Broadway musicals, with ducks and egrets and dogs and beavers making guest appearances along the way.And since we're on the subject -- what IS the deal with Marble Hill? What do you mean, it's a Manhattan neighborhood?Featuring special guests Melissa Kieweit (Dyckman Farmhouse), Cole Thompson (Lost Inwood) and Led Black (Uptown Collective)This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.The Bowery Boys Podcast is proud to be sponsored by FOUNDED BY NYC, celebrating New York City's 400th anniversary in 2025 and the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.

Dominica's Thea LaFond had a golden 2024. She was one of a handful of athletes who won the World Indoors in March, and then followed it up with an Olympic title at the Games in Paris.That night, the entire population of her native Dominica could have fitted inside the Stade de France. Her gold at the Games was the island nation's first of any colour in any Olympic sport, just as her World Indoor title was their first medal of any colour at those Championships. Having moved to the United States at the age of five, Thea describes how hard it was to adapt to a different kind of life. Dance, and later track and field, helped her with that transition. She remembers trying the Triple Jump for the first time, taking off and doing three ballet-style leaps with straight legs before the coach told her that wasn't the way to do it!Thea has remained a child of both countries, and is rightly proud of everything she's achieved wearing the vest of Dominica. She was their only representative at the Glasgow World Indoor Championships, and then part of a team of just four athletes in Paris.Thea explains how she had the best season of her life just as she was turning thirty, and how the death of her friend and inspiration, Dr Carissa F. Etienne, the Director of the Pan American Health Organization, was a catalyst for that. Thea jumped all season with a yellow ribbon in her hair to remember her fellow Dominican, and says it gave her ‘an extra pair of wings'.Thea tells us about those times when she considered giving up the sport. She worked for six years as a teacher, and was a largely self-funded and part-time athlete during that period.Find out how she won both of 2024's golds despite carrying a knee injury through the season, and how she won in Glasgow and Paris with personal bests in both finals. Plus, how Thea's coach and husband Aaron Gadson's weather forecasting played a key role on the night of the Olympic final.Photo: Dominica's athlete and gold medallist Thea Lafond poses with her medal on stage at the Champions Park at Trocadero during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Paris on August 6, 2024, with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.

Dascha Polanco opens up like never before. She gets real about her journey from growing up in New York City with strong Dominican roots

What happens when a firefighter-paramedic witnesses the failures of our healthcare system firsthand? For Sam Tejada, it sparked a revolution that's transforming wellness across America.Sam's story begins as the youngest child of Dominican immigrants who settled in Wisconsin, where his parents worked tirelessly as architects to provide opportunities for their children. From this foundation of determination, Sam developed both a servant's heart and an entrepreneurial spirit that would later define his career.After becoming a firefighter-paramedic at just 20 years old, Sam spent 12 years responding to emergency calls, where he noticed a disturbing pattern: patients returning to the hospital with worsening conditions despite multiple medications and doctor visits. "I became a product to our broken medical system and it was eating me alive," Sam reveals, explaining how this realization collided with his exposure to functional medicine approaches that were actually changing lives.With just $500 and a borrowed room in a doctor's office, Sam launched Liquivita Wellness Centers while still working full-time as a firefighter. His strategic approach minimized overhead costs while maximizing customer acquisition, allowing him to bootstrap the business entirely from its humble beginnings to what has now become 40 franchise locations nationwide.Perhaps most revolutionary is Sam's approach to competition. Rather than viewing other wellness providers as rivals, he built relationships with them, even giving them chapters in his book "How to Win in Modern Wellness." This collaboration-over-competition philosophy stems from his understanding that transforming healthcare requires a united front: "When I have all of my competitors chanting the same thing that I'm chanting, we're going to change the course of medicine."Throughout his journey, faith has been Sam's anchor. From processing trauma as a paramedic to making major business decisions, his relationship with God provides guidance and purpose. This spiritual foundation reinforces his mission to help others take control of their health through the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.Ready to discover how passion, purpose, and strategic relationships can transform both your business and your industry? Connect with Sam on Instagram @sammy_tejada or check out his book on Amazon to learn how you can win in modern wellness.Welcome to the ATLG podcast I am your host Ken Joslin, former pastor turned coach & host of CREATE, the #1 Faith-based Entrepreneur conference in America.

6/11/25 - This is the astonishing true story of Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841–1926), a man who descended into darkness as a satanic priest during his years as a law student in Naples—but who was rescued by divine grace and became one of the Church's most fervent promoters of the Holy Rosary. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Bartolo fell away from the faith during his university studies, swept up in the anti-clerical, occult movements of his time. He was ordained a satanic priest and suffered severe depression, paranoia, and spiritual torment. But through the prayers of his family and the guidance of a Dominican priest, Fr. Alberto Radente, Bartolo experienced a miraculous conversion. Devoting his life to penance and reparation, Bartolo dedicated himself to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. He helped rebuild the faith of an entire region by bringing the Rosary to the poor in Pompeii, where he founded the now world-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. He also established schools, orphanages, and legal aid for the poor—all as acts of penance and service. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1980, calling him the “Man of Mary” and a “true lay apostle of the Rosary.”

Father Richard John shares about his journey to the priesthood, the importance of hope and our call to serve and evangelize. Parish of the Week: St. Dominic Parish in Saginaw is our Parish of the Week.  Their Parochial Administrator, Fr. Richard John, joins us today!Message from Fr. Richard John – Ordained in 2009, I have now journeyed 16 years as a priest, and I share this reflection as a thanksgiving to the Lord who called me. I come from the Archdiocese of Hyderabad, Telangana, in southern India, and currently serve as the Parochial Administrator at St. Dominic Parish since 2023.Three early influences shaped my vocation: my grandmother Margaret John, whose daily Rosary and devotion to St. Anthony inspired a prayer movement in our neighborhood; my father Aron John, a daily communicant who introduced me to the beauty of the Eucharist; and my first encounter with the story of Mother Teresa, whose radical commitment deeply moved me as a child. These seeds of faith were nurtured by my parish priest, and I joined the seminary in 1998 after 10th grade.Growing up in a joint family of modest means, financial struggles were common. I often joined sports camps at school just for the meals. Yet, through God's providence and support like CFCA sponsorship from Sr. Shirley Ruder, a Dominican nun from Michigan, I could continue my education.Despite health challenges during formation, I experienced healing that confirmed my call. Over the years, I've served in various ministries — from being assistant to the archbishop, to working at St. Anthony's Shrine, teaching, radio ministry, and youth outreach.My path to Saginaw in 2022 was guided by God's providence, facilitated by friends, Fr.

5-29-25 Explosive and contrary to the national narrative this interview has Democrats in Massachusetts beside themselves! Valley Patriot publisher  Tom Duggan interviewed the mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts about the daily ICE raids in his city where dozens of illegal alien criminals are rounded up daily and deported. DePena, a democrat, says he CHEERS when Ice raids his city and that "everyone" in the community is happy! Lawrence is 80% Latino with the vast majority of the population being Dominican, first generation Americans.

Yasi and Steven talk with the energetic Jesùs Florido, a one-time competitive tennis player turned professional violinist, composer, producer and entrepreneur. An innovator at heart, Jesus takes you through his athletic career, its unintended impact in his musical development, his unique musical fusion style, developing into a music virtuoso, and his work in developing music careers through the Màs y Màs Music Foundation.For more on Jesùs' career, go to https://www.jesusflorido.comInstagram: @latinfiddlerBio: With his debut, Heading North, violinist, composer, and bandleader Jesus Florido introduces compelling artistry balanced on a fine axis of musical virtuosity and pure heart. "This album came about from what is not out there from an instrumental point of view," he explains. "Jazz, rock, classical, Latin -- my album is a melting pot."The savory list of sonic influences can be traced back to Venezuela, Jesus' home, and its pastiche of Cuban, Dominican, Trinidadian, and African cultures. Jesus' family is Italian, and in the grand European tradition, opera and classical music also informed his early years.He arrived in the U.S. to further his studies in musical academia but was soon performing in cavernous arenas to enormous audiences with Yo-Yo Ma, the Moody Blues, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, and Whitney Houston. This high-profile exposure fueled the fire to ignite his own solo career.Heading North is notable for the contributions of the musicians, producers, engineers, and programmers who join Jesus. "It was important to me that project was different from the get-go," he relates. "I wanted to communicate on a higher level." Heading North features a superlative ensemble.Jesus composes in an unconventional miracle of pure inspiration, building songs from a rhythmic and harmonic base -- chords and a drumbeat -- then improvising on top of them. "I may clean it up, but I assure you, on every track what you hear is exactly what came through my head at that moment. To write fresh music I have to recall exactly how I felt about the tune the first time I heard it," he reveals.Across this vivid spectrum of music, the unmistakable timbre of Jesus' violin remains an indelible voice connecting the songs that comprise Heading North. From the sophisticated veneer of the title track to the incendiary Latin grooves of "Mi Negra," the prog-rock influenced "Con Todo," the electro-Santeria vibe of "Gitano" to the funk-informed "Olividado," Jesus bends rhythmic and melodic structures to his will. "Every song is a story without words," he relates. "If I can tell it to the audience when they listen to my record, then I've succeeded." With his violin as a compass, Jesus Florido heads toward a limitless musical horizon with a stunning debut, Heading North."

In the 1930s, infamous Dominican dictator Rafael Truillo ordered the burning of the country's palos drums, hoping to erase the powerful vestiges of African culture in the Dominican Republic. Luckily for us, the breakneck, trance-inducing sound of palos still reverberates at Afro-syncretic religious parties across the Caribbean nation almost a century later. In this episode, Afropop revisits the home of styles such as merengue and bachata, but this time we'll be looking towards the most deeply African side of Dominican music—little known outside of the island. Afro-Dominican music is a secret treasure, filled with virtuosic drumming styles, heart-stopping grooves, and mystic dance parties. We'll listen to traditional genres like palos, salve, and gaga, a uniquely Dominican take on rara music from neighboring Haiti. Throughout, we'll be looking at artists who have drawn on Afro-Dominican styles to make infectious pop music, from wizened veterans of the folklore movement such as Luis Dias, to a host of hip young bands who use Afro-inspired rock, reggae and hip-hop to redefine what it means to be Dominican. We'll also check out the Afro-Dominican scene in New York City—home to more than a half-million Dominicans—where we'll find a Dominican gaga group in Brooklyn that is mending cultural fences at a Haitian celebration.

Harland kicks things off by reminiscing about fingering calamari and the first time someone touched his arse—with a thermometer. Tom shares the traumatic moment he had to show a friend his infamously hairy sphincter... and yes, he ends up showing Harland too. Surprisingly, the conversation spirals into absurd territory with erotic drawings, smut searches, fart-catching attempts, a Dominican dick flash, and a deep dive into Enny's alleged fondness for buttholes. Harland doesn't disappoint either—he reacts to fart videos, tells a story about dating Madonna, and looks forward to tanning with Tom. The two also talk about creativity, recreational drugs, Harland's distrust of nicotine pouches, the anthems of both Canada and Texas, plus playing doctor, and horseshoes with neck pillows. Oh, and Harland names his favorite dictator.

In this powerful and hilarious episode, we sit down with content creator turned TV star Ken Starrrz for a deep dive into his incredible journey from growing up in the Bronx with a Dominican dad and Colombian mom, to becoming one of the most vibrant voices in digital media today. Ken opens up about being a loud, creative kid in a traditional Latino household, getting fired from his last 9-to-5 working in the LGBTQ community, and how that moment pushed him headfirst into content creation. He shares the story of how a personal DM from Diddy led to him landing his own show on REVOLT TV, how Nick Cannon slid into his DMs to bring him on Wild ’N Out, and his thoughts on the importance of creating content that reflects the full spectrum of Latino culture—not just West Coast or Mexican perspectives. We also talk about his community work—food drives, back-to-school events, and giving back to those in need—and his acting debut alongside the late Pop Smoke. Ken gets real about the challenges and triumphs of the industry and what’s next as he works to launch his own scripted TV show that will spotlight underrepresented East Coast Latino voices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brooooooklyn! Stand up! On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud, @RachelLaLoca heads back to her old stomping grounds, the borough of Brooklyn, to sit and chat with Borough President, Antonio Reynoso on location at Borough Hall. Antonio Reynoso is Brooklyn's 20th Borough President. Born and raised in Los Sures, Williamsburg, Borough President Reynoso is the youngest Borough President elected to a four-year term, the first Latino to hold the office in the borough, and the first Dominican to be elected as a Borough President in NYC! In his first year in office, Borough President Reynoso set an ambitious goal to make Brooklyn the safest borough in New York City to give birth. Building on that commitment, the Borough President announced a new partnership with Rachel's Alma mater, CUNY Brooklyn College, to launch New York State's first credit-bearing Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) Advanced Certificate Program. The program will prepare healthcare, mental health, early intervention, and early educational professionals to support pregnant mothers and birthing parents experiencing mental distress. For more info, click here. At his recent State of the Borough address, Reynoso introduced the public to Brooklyn's first-ever Arts Ambassador: renowned multi-disciplinary artist and fashion designer Colm Dillane, also known as KidSuper.  Follow Rachel La Loca Follow BP Reynoso and while you're at it, follow the yellow brick road! #Brooklyn #BoroughPresident #AntonioReynoso #RachelLaLoca #LatinosOutLoud #Podcast

Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas endured much to dedicate himself to a life of seeking God. His family imprisoned him for a year in an attempt to discourage him from joining the Dominican order, a monastic group dedicated to a life of simplicity, study, and preaching. After a lifetime of studying Scripture and creation, and writing nearly one hundred volumes, Aquinas had such an intense experience of God that he wrote, “I can no longer write, for God has given me such glorious knowledge that all contained in my works are as straw.” He died only three months later. The apostle Paul also described an experience from God so overwhelming that it was impossible to put into words, when he was “caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell” (1 Corinthians 12:4). “Because of these surpassingly great revelations,” Paul was given an unidentified “thorn in [his] flesh” (v. 7) to keep him humble and reliant on God. He was told, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (v. 9). The more we understand about God, the more we understand how impossible it is for us to capture who He is in words. Yet in our weakness and in our loss for what to say, Christ’s grace and beauty shines clearly through.
