Five prisoners are kept awake for fifteen days in a sealed chamber — and what the researchers find when they open the door no longer wants to be set free. A blockbuster film series trails a string of real-life deaths its cast can't explain. On the back roads of Maryland, a half-goat figure waits for teenagers who wander too far. And one ordinary night in El Paso, a couple walks out of their home — dishes still in the sink, cat unfed — and is never seen again.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/russiansleepexperiment/READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3rr9mhjxFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Russian Sleep Experiment *** The Poltergeist Film Curse *** The Goat-Man of Maryland *** The Patterson Family Disappearance *** The Legend of the LeprechaunCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:06.939 = Show Open00:01:55.409 = The Poltergeist Curse00:06:21.074 = The Goatman of Prince George's County00:14:07.417 = The Lore of the Leprechaun ***00:16:55.345 = Vanishing of the Pattersons00:27:39.437 = The Russian Sleep Experiment ***00:43:05.653 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 22, 2018Weird Darkness travels from a cursed Hollywood film set to a Maryland goat-monster, the cobbler-fairies of Irish legend, a vanished El Paso couple, and a blood-soaked Soviet sleep laboratory where the test subjects no longer wanted to be set free.It opens with the deaths that shadow the Poltergeist films, beginning with Heather O'Rourke, who played Carol Anne Freeling from the original 1982 release through both sequels and died at twelve in San Diego in February 1986 during surgery for a bowel obstruction later traced to a congenital intestinal flaw. Dominique Dunne, who played older sister Dana Freeling, was strangled in 1982 by John Sweeney outside her Hollywood home, and Sweeney served just three years and seven months. Julian Beck, the gaunt preacher Kane of Poltergeist II, died of stomach cancer in 1983, and Will Sampson, who played the shaman Taylor, died after a heart-lung transplant — four deaths that fed a curse legend later thickened by JoBeth Williams' claim that Steven Spielberg used real human skeletons as cheaper props and by Sampson's own ritual cleansing of the set.From there the episode crosses into Prince George's County, Maryland, where the Goatman has stalked local legend for decades. One origin story sets him at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, a half-man, half-goat creature born from a USDA experiment gone wrong; another makes him a herdsman driven mad after teenagers slaughtered his flock. University of Maryland folklorist Barry Pearson traces his heyday to the 1970s and the 1971 decapitation of a puppy named Ginger in Bowie, an incident the Washington Post covered and locals pinned on the creature haunting Fletchertown and Lottsford roads, while Beltsville spokesperson Kim Kaplan dryly wonders whether a goatman that old would be collecting Social Security by now.Next the show turns to Irish folklore and the leprechaun, the solitary fairy whose name traces to a Gaelic root for a small body or a shoemaker. Standing two to three feet tall in a green or red coat and buckled shoes, he works as a fairy cobbler who stitches only a single shoe and never a pair, guards a hidden pot of gold, and trades three wishes for his freedom when a human manages to catch him. He lives in cave networks reached through rabbit holes and the hollow trunks of fairy trees, and damaging one of those trees is said to draw a lifetime of bad luck.From the green hills of Ireland the episode moves to El Paso, Texas, where William and Margaret Patterson left their home at 3000 Piedmont Drive on March 5, 1957 and were never seen again, dinner dishes still in the sink and their cat Tommy left without food. The owners of Patterson Photo Supply vanished without packing a suitcase, their associate Doyle Kirkland turned up driving William's Cadillac with a thin story about a vacation, and a telegram from Dallas signed with the wrong middle initial named Kirkland as William's replacement at the store. Decades on, caretaker Reinaldo Nangre claimed he had cleaned blood from the garage and found a piece of scalp on the boat propeller before dying in a car crash, and Sheriff Leo Samaniego floated the theory that the couple were Soviet spies photographing Fort Bliss, leaving a disappearance that was declared a death in 1964 and has never been solved.The episode closes in the late 1940s, when Soviet researchers sealed five political prisoners in a chamber and kept them awake for fifteen days with an experimental gas-based stimulant, promising freedom in exchange for thirty sleepless days. Paranoia set in after five days, screaming after nine, and when the chamber was opened on the fifteenth the soldiers found four men still alive amid their own torn-out organs, having eaten their own flesh and blocked the floor drain with it, fighting any attempt to remove them and begging for the gas rather than sleep. One subject, pinned for surgery without anesthetic, wrote only the words "keep cutting," and as the last of them was shot through the heart he claimed to be the madness that lurks in every sleeping mind, choking out that he was so nearly free.

As stories of immigration top the national and world news headlines, Father Dave welcomes author Mary Fontana to share her experience with a unique Catholic resource that serves the vulnerable at the border. Mary spotlights Annunciation House, a migrant shelter in El Paso, TX in her new book called "Strangers in the Province of Joy: Practicing Radical Hospitality on the US - Mexico Border."  

Sánchez explica que alcanzar este cargo representa la máxima aspiración personal y social para un integrante de la hermandad, superando incluso en relevancia emocional a la alcaldía de la ciudad. A lo largo de la conversación, el nuevo dirigente subraya su compromiso con la continuidad institucional, centrando sus esfuerzos en proyectos de gran valor artístico como la confección del segundo manto de la Virgen de la Amargura, considerado una obra maestra del bordado contemporáneo. Finalmente, Sánchez hace un llamamiento a la unidad de todos los cofrades tras el proceso electoral, reafirmando la importancia de potenciar el museo de la cofradía para proyectar su legado cultural y religioso durante todo el año

For years, I called myself an ally. But any time there was a Black Lives Matter rally or a benefit for an inner-city school, I'd quietly bow out. "I have my thing. I do the gay thing." I stayed in my comfortable, cozy gay lane. And it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized I didn't even know the full story of Juneteenth — after nearly two decades of doing inclusion work. This episode is about what staying in your lane actually costs you, and the surprisingly simple thing that gets you out of it. What you'll take away: The real cost of staying in your lane — it's not just missed connection. It's a lonelier world of your own making. Why you're overthinking it — you don't need a script, a certification, or expertise in every identity. You just need curiosity. The ARC Method in action — Ask. Respect. Connect. Three words that work in any conversation, any lane, any moment of not knowing what to say. A question to sit with — Where are you staying comfortable right now and calling it something else?

-Doug the Neighbor- & -TK/Irish- chat about -Doug the Neighbor's- trio to EL PASO...Part 2

Hello friends, and welcome back to Hidden History of Texas. This is episode 92 – this is the first in a series I'm calling The Rio Grande Frontier – Welcome to El Paso: The Pass of the North When most people think about Texas history, their minds usually start in the  east. They think of Nacogdoches, San Antonio, Austin's Colony, the Alamo, cattle drives, oil fields, and railroads. But today, I want us to start from the opposite direction. Let's travel nearly six hundred miles west of San Antonio, across deserts, mountains, and vast stretches of open country, to a city unlike any other in Texas. A city that was old before Texas existed. A city that was part of Spain, then Mexico, and only later became part of Texas. A city that sits on the Rio Grande and has served as a gateway between worlds for more than four centuries. In my lifetime, I've either driven through or, when I was a child, been driven through El Paso numerous times. But we never really stopped and visited the city, in fact, most of the times I drove to the west coast, I would usually drive through El Paso and stop in Las Cruces New Mexico. I really don't know why, except when I was driving the Freeway just didn't seem to offer any real enticing places to stop. The one occasion that I was able to actually spent time in El Paso was when a company I was working for asked me to temporarily run their branch office. After spending some time there, I realized that El Paso was and is distinctly different. We Texans have a tendency to talk about Texas as if it's a single culture. But standing in El Paso, listening to conversations switch effortlessly between English and Spanish, (or as we call it using Spanglish) and  looking across the Rio Grande toward Ciudad Juárez, I understood that Texas has always been more complicated, and more interesting, than that. So join with me as we explore El Paso. The story begins long before there was a state of Texas. Long before there was an Alamo. Long before Stephen F. Austin brought settlers into Mexican Texas. In 1598, Spanish explorer and colonizer Juan de Oñate led an expedition north from Mexico. Near present-day El Paso, his expedition crossed the Rio Grande and entered lands that Spain hoped to claim and settle. That crossing took place more than twenty years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Think about that for a moment. Many Texans think of San Antonio as the oldest chapter of Texas history. But the El Paso region was already part of the Spanish frontier before the first permanent European settlement was established in San Antonio. For centuries, this crossing would become one of the most important gateways in North America. The Spanish called it El Paseo del Norte. The Pass of the North. And that name tells us everything we need to know about why the city exists. To understand El Paso, you have to forget the modern map for a moment. Today, we see a border separating the United States and Mexico. But for much of history, this region was not viewed as a dividing line. It was a corridor. A road. A meeting place. A connection between communities. Travelers moving north toward Santa Fe passed through here. Merchants passed through here. Soldiers passed through here. Missionaries passed through here. Families settled here. Trade flourished here. For generations, El Paso was less a frontier outpost than a crossroads of cultures. One of the most dramatic moments in its history came in 1680. That year, Indigenous Pueblo peoples in New Mexico launched what we historians call the Pueblo Revolt. Spanish settlements throughout New Mexico were attacked, and surviving colonists fled south. Many of them arrived at El Paso. For a time, El Paso became a refuge and administrative center for Spanish authorities driven from New Mexico. It is one of those remarkable stories that rarely appears in Texas history textbooks. For a period of time, the future of Spanish New Mexico was being directed from what is now Texas. As centuries passed, El Paso developed in ways very different from the rest of Texas. When settlers were arriving in East Texas from the American South, El Paso remained connected to older Spanish and Mexican traditions. Its trade routes stretched toward Santa Fe and Chihuahua. Its culture reflected centuries of interaction among Indigenous peoples, Spanish settlers, Mexicans, and frontier communities. In many ways, El Paso belonged to a different world than the one developing around Houston, Galveston, or Austin. And perhaps that's still true today. When Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, life in El Paso did not suddenly transform overnight. The city remained geographically distant from the centers of political power. The Republic of Texas claimed the region, but for many years its influence remained limited. The people of El Paso continued living lives shaped by trade, family, faith, and relationships that extended across the Rio Grande. The border on a map often meant far less than the connections between people. Everything changed with the arrival of the railroad. In the late nineteenth century, rail lines connected El Paso to the rest of Texas and the growing United States. Suddenly, a city that had once seemed isolated became an important transportation hub. Businesses arrived. Population increased. Investment followed. And with growth came many of the colorful characters we associate with the American West. Lawmen. Gamblers. Cowboys. Outlaws. Railroad men. Entrepreneurs. The frontier boomtown had arrived. Then came another chapter that few Americans remember today. The Mexican Revolution. For people living in El Paso, this wasn't distant foreign news. It was happening across the river. Residents could see troop movements. Hear gunfire. Watch history unfold from their own community. Few American cities have experienced anything quite like that. Imagine standing in downtown El Paso and witnessing the turbulence of a revolution taking place just beyond the water. Today, El Paso remains one of the most distinctive cities in Texas. It sits in a different time zone than most of the state. It is physically closer to California, Arizona, and New Mexico than it is to many of Texas's major population centers. Its landscape is different. Its history is different. Its culture is different. Yet El Paso is not somehow less Texan because of those differences. In many ways, it reminds us of something important. Texas has never been a single story. It has always been many stories woven together. Spanish frontiers. Mexican communities. Indigenous nations. German settlements. Czech farming towns. Cotton plantations. Oil fields. Railroad centers. Border cities. Each contributed something unique to the state we know today. Personal Reflection When you drive into El Paso from the East on I10, your eyes are drawn to the Franklin Mountains, now if you're like me you wonder about the stories you've heard about lost gold mines being there.  Maybe your imagination shifts to the magical power many of the indigenous people's believe the mountains hold. Maybe you think of the thousands of people who have walked or ridden their horses through the pass. The indigenous peoples who lived in the area for thousands of years such as the Mansos, Jumanos, the Mescalero, or any of the nomadic groups who came into the area.  One thing I can promise you is that if you get off the interstate and go downtown one thing you'll notice is how different the city feels from Austin, Houston, or Dallas. It's a city with a multitude of cultures and life forces. If you're lucky, you'll start to reflect  on how easy it is for Texans to forget that communities on opposite ends of the state can have entirely different histories while still sharing the same identity. El Paso is not merely a city on the western edge of Texas. For centuries, it was a gateway. A crossing place. A meeting place. A place where cultures, languages, economies, and histories came together. And perhaps that is why its story remains so important. Because if we truly want to understand Texas, we have to understand all of Texas. Not just the places at the center of the map. But also the places at the edges. Sometimes the edges have the most interesting stories of all. I'm Hank Wilson, and this has been Hidden History of Texas. Join me next time as we continue our journey along the Rio Grande Frontier.

In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso. He has been on death row ever since. “The Last 12 Weeks” takes you behind the scenes as a capital defense team races against the clock to stop an execution 30 years in the making.

-Doug the Neighbor- and -TK/Irish- chat about -Doug the Neighbor's- trip to EL Paso.

One night in El Paso, the cops go into the crowd - and somehow, 32 years later, we're still unpacking what that means.This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream, the shuffle landed on 'Yawning or Snarling' from "Day for Night" - and it pulled 76% Love It in the community poll. Add in the Like Its and you're sitting at 95%. Not bad for track four on a record that doesn't exactly hand you easy entry points.jD was joined by the most international panel the show has ever assembled: Andy from St. Thomas, Glynn from Melbourne, and Thomas from Oxford - who tuned in at 1 a.m. on his birthday, which is exactly the kind of dedication this community runs on.The conversation went deep. Bass as MVP. The panning of that slide guitar in headphones. The way Gord built entire worlds by changing two words between verses - glaring to throbbing, day to night - and what that does to the light in El Paso, literally and otherwise. Glynn brought a photographer's eye to 'the bladder of light' and the science of bat sonar. Thomas picked up his guitar mid-episode to demonstrate what makes those interplaying guitar parts so quietly unusual. Andy connected the border tension of early 90s El Paso to the cop-into-crowd imagery and made it land differently than it did before. And the chat surfaced a connection between this bass line and REM's 'Undertow' that is frankly hard to unhear.Oh, and the wheel spin at the end? Next week we're talking 'Bobcaygeon.' At the start of summer. So there's that.About the PanelistsAndy from St. Thomas is a Tragically Hip fan whose entry into 'Yawning or Snarling' was sonic first - the vibe of "Day for Night" as a full atmospheric world - before digging into the lyric's snapshots of border tension and hollow men making purchases.Glynn from Melbourne is a travel photographer and educator who leads international photo tours through his company Creative Photo Workshops (creativephotoworkshops.com.au). His visual brain is genuinely one of the great instruments for decoding a Gord Downie lyric. He came to 'Yawning or Snarling' bass-first, and he left having delivered the definitive explanation of Club 101 in El Paso. Find him on Instagram and Facebook.Thomas from Oxford has a YouTube channel (Tommy KL) and a SoundCloud under his name, Thomas De Bock, featuring three Hip covers - including a recording of 'Cordelia' that predates the pandemic. He also plays guitar, and he used it. His breakdown of the interplay between the guitars - and why the slightly-off notes are the whole point - is the kind of thing that makes you want to listen to the song again the second it's done.Tale of the Tape: 'Yawning or Snarling'Album: "Day for Night" (released September 19, 1994)Track: 4Times played live: 56First played: July 1, 1994 - Molson Park, BarrieLast played: August 1, 2016 - Calgary (Man Machine Poem Tour, twice as encore)Resources & ReferencesSetlist data sourced from Hipbase - the essential Tragically Hip discography and setlist resourceLive recording: Brussels, 1994 (Live from the Vault, Vol. 4) - sourced from The Tragically Hip Archive.

Os invitamos a un viaje por las 10 rutas más peligrosas del mundo. Normalmente dedicamos nuestro tiempo a desgranar la ingeniería de los motores, la aerodinámica de los grandes deportivos o las técnicas de conducción de los pilotos más laureados. Pero hoy, vamos a centrar nuestra atención en el escenario: la carretera. Porque a veces, el asfalto no es un aliado, sino una trampa mortal diseñada por la geografía, el clima o la pura desidia humana. El ser humano lleva siglos intentando domar el planeta, pero existen lugares donde la naturaleza sigue teniendo la última palabra. En este video, realizamos un recorrido exhaustivo por los puntos negros del mapamundi. No hablamos de simples baches, sino de trayectos donde el error se paga con un viaje a la eternidad. 1. El Paso de Stelvio, Italia: El desafío de los Alpes Construido en 1820 por el Imperio Austríaco, el Passo dello Stelvio es un icono para cualquier "petrolhead". Sin embargo, sus 48 "tornanti" o curvas de herradura en la cara norte son una prueba de fuego para los frenos y la concentración. Con pendientes que alcanzan el 11%, el peligro aquí reside en el exceso de confianza y la fatiga mecánica. 2. Carretera de Guoliang, China: Tallada a mano La historia de Guoliang es la de la desesperación convertida en ingeniería rudimentaria. Trece aldeanos excavaron en 1972 un túnel de 1.200 metros usando solo martillos y cinceles. Sus "ventanas" abiertas al abismo ofrecen vistas espectaculares pero aterradoras. 3. Autopista Dalton, Alaska: El infierno helado Conocida por la serie "Camioneros del Hielo", la James W. Dalton Highway son 666 kilómetros de aislamiento extremo. Aquí la amenaza no es el precipicio, sino la hipotermia a -40°C y la falta absoluta de servicios. En esta ruta, los camiones tienen prioridad absoluta; sus nubes de polvo y piedras rompen parabrisas y la ayuda puede tardar días en llegar. Es la carretera con la menor tasa de supervivencia. 4. Autopista de Karakórum: La octava maravilla Conectando Pakistán con China a más de 4.600 metros de altitud, esta ruta sigue la antigua Ruta de la Seda. Durante su construcción murieron más de mil trabajadores.. Además, el mal de altura merma los reflejos del conductor en el peor escenario posible. 5. El Camino a las Yungas, Bolivia: La ruta de los abismos Durante años fue titulada como la carretera más peligrosa del mundo. Este trayecto desciende desde los 4.650 metros hasta la selva amazónica en solo 80 kilómetros. Lo que la hace única es que se conduce por la izquierda para que el conductor vea el borde del precipicio bajo su rueda. Niebla, cascadas que caen sobre la calzada y la ausencia total de vallas de seguridad la convirtieron en una trampa que llegó a cobrarse 300 vidas al año. 6. Commonwealth Avenue, Filipinas: Caos urbano No todo el peligro está en la montaña. Esta avenida en Ciudad Quezón es apodada la "Killer Highway". A pesar de tener hasta 18 carriles de ancho, la falta de disciplina es total. Autobuses compitiendo entre sí, peatones cruzando por donde pueden y motocicletas zigzagueando crean un caos donde se registran hasta cinco accidentes graves al día. 7. Carretera de Jalalabad a Kabul, Afganistán: Tensión extrema Un trayecto que atraviesa territorio hostil en el cañón del río Kabul. La combinación de conductores temerarios que ignoran cualquier norma de tráfico, el pésimo estado del firme por los conflictos bélicos y la amenaza de ataques insurgentes la convierte en la ruta más estresante de Asia Central. Es una zona de guerra vial donde ya se ha dejado de contar el número de víctimas anuales. 8. Autopista de Hina, India: Techos de roca Atravesando Himachal Pradesh, esta ruta es famosa por sus tramos de "media herradura", donde la carretera está literalmente excavada en la pared del acantilado, dejando una visera de roca sobre el techo del vehículo. En época de monzones, el terreno se vuelve sumamente frágil y los desprendimientos de rocas del tamaño de un coche son habituales, mientras se comparte un espacio de apenas tres metros con camiones de carga. 9. Atlantic Ocean Road, Noruega: El mar contra el asfalto Inaugurada a finales de los 80, esta joya arquitectónica conecta islotes mediante puentes imposibles. El peligro aquí es el Atlántico Norte. Durante los temporales, las olas rompen directamente contra la calzada y las ráfagas de viento pueden desplazar lateralmente a los vehículos. Es una pesadilla de visibilidad cero y asfalto deslizante donde el océano intenta reclamar su espacio sobre el hombre. 10. BR-116, Brasil: La Rodovia da Morte Terminamos en el eje norte-sur de Brasil. El tramo de la "Serra do Cafezal" es infame por su altísima siniestralidad. No hay grandes abismos, pero sí una fatiga extrema de los conductores de camiones, niebla cerrada, pendientes pronunciadas y una alta tasa de criminalidad.

Matthew 23:13-24

n febrero de 1959, nueve jóvenes montañeros soviéticos murieron en circunstancias tan extrañas que, más de seis décadas después, el caso sigue generando debates, investigaciones y teorías de todo tipo. La expedición, liderada por Igor Dyatlov, tenía como objetivo completar una exigente travesía de esquí en los Urales del norte. Eran excursionistas experimentados, acostumbrados a sobrevivir en condiciones extremas. Sin embargo, durante la noche del 1 al 2 de febrero, algo ocurrió en su campamento. Los miembros del grupo abandonaron su tienda en plena oscuridad, con temperaturas cercanas a los treinta grados bajo cero, dejando atrás ropa, botas y equipo esencial para la supervivencia. ¿Qué pudo obligar a nueve personas entrenadas a tomar una decisión tan desesperada? En este episodio de La Biblioteca de Alejandría reconstruimos la expedición paso a paso a partir de los diarios, fotografías, informes forenses y documentos de la investigación soviética. Analizamos el hallazgo de los cuerpos, las lesiones más desconcertantes, el papel de los pueblos mansi, las teorías sobre avalanchas, vientos extremos y otros fenómenos naturales, separando siempre los hechos demostrados de las especulaciones. Una historia real de supervivencia, misterio y tragedia que sigue fascinando al mundo porque, a pesar de todo lo que sabemos, la pregunta más importante continúa sin respuesta: ¿Qué ocurrió realmente aquella noche en el Paso Dyatlov?

La actriz y miembro de una de las más importantes sagas del cine español, capitaneada por su padre José Luis Ozores, fallecido cuando ella tenía sólo ocho años, ha charlado esta mañana con Àngels Barceló de su entorno, de lo que le convirtió en actriz, de un cine superado por el tiempo, pero que marcó una época, la de la Transición, la de su tío Mariano Ozores, que explicaba como era la España que empezaba a mirarse en libertad, y de su otra carrera, en el teatro de la mano instructora de Adolfo Marsillach o en películas como "Plenilunio" o "La ciudad sin límites"... De todos esos asuntos y de su trabajo actual en el teatro madrileño de La Abadía, "El jardín quemado". obra escrita y dirigida por Juan Mayorga, una reflexión sobre nuestro acercamiento al pasado y la importancia de la memoria, ha hablado Adriana Ozores, nuestra invitada de esta mañana en "La charla"

In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Daniel Chacón sits down with actor, director, and The University of Texas at El Paso theater professor Jay Stratton for a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, performance, teaching, and life in the arts. Stratton reflects on his years as a working actor in New York City, his journey from business student to theater artist, and the realities of building a career in regional theater. Along the way, the discussion expands into larger questions about storytelling, boredom, childhood imagination, academia, parenting, and the pressures of modern productivity. Thoughtful, funny, and deeply personal, the episode explores how art shapes the way we connect with community, culture, and ourselves. 

Matthew 23:1-12

Host Daniel Chacón sits down with Dr. Gabriela Baeza Ventura, director and publisher of Arte Público Press—widely recognized as the nation's leading publisher of U.S. Latinx literature.Their conversation begins on the U.S.–Mexico border, tracing Dr. Ventura's upbringing between Ciudad Juárez and El Paso, and quickly expands into a deeper exploration of how literary worlds are built, sustained, and preserved. She shares the unexpected path that led her into publishing—from a graduate research fellowship to discovering a passion for editing through a stack of “damaged” books—and how that moment evolved into a lifelong commitment to amplifying Latino voices.Dr. Ventura reflects on the mentorship and vision of Arte Público founder Nicolás Kanellos, offering insight into the challenges and responsibilities of running a nonprofit press dedicated to cultural preservation. The discussion highlights the press's mission to recover and elevate U.S. Hispanic literary heritage, bridging gaps between diasporic communities and their countries of origin while ensuring these works are recognized as part of the broader American canon.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier is getting paid $50,000 a semester to teach a single class at University of Florida's law school.    The Trump Administration finally obeyed the court order and put the exhibit on enslaved people back at President's House in Philadelphia.   The Supreme Court has decided to eliminate corruption by asking litigants to add their stock ticker symbols to filing disclosures. Oh, you thought maybe the justices would agree to stop trading individual stocks? LOL.   And a JAG lawyer sent to help out the US Attorneys Office in Minnesota got cited for contempt after ICE responded to a habeas order by dumping a Minnesota man on the street in El Paso without his identity documents. Judge Laura Provinzino ordered the lawyer to pay $500 per day until the petitioner got his ID back.   MAIN SHOW:   In California, Judge Sunshine Sykes issued a major benchslap to the Trump administration's claim that it can — or must! — detain immigrants who haven't been granted permanent residence. In December, she granted class certification and ordered the government to give everyone not detained at the border a bond hearing. The government ignored her ruling, based on a decision by the immigration courts housed inside the Justice Department. Separation of powers, how does it go?   And Andrew and Liz talk about two "surveillance" issues: commercially-aggregated data tracking our every movement and "dynamic" pricing.   The Supreme Court first started considering surveillance in US v. Jones, 565 U.S. 400 (2012) and endorsed the "mosaic theory" of the Fourth Amendment in Carpenter v. US, 585 US 296 (2018).   Sens. Lujan and Merkley have co-sponsored the Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act of 2026. Gizmodo recently ran a story about it, referencing prior research into dynamic pricing.

New York's Bryant Park was established in 1847, but by the 1970s, the 9.6 acres behind the New York Public Library just a block off Times Square had become an open air drug market, with muggings there cited as the reason companies were leaving Manhattan. Enter Dan Biederman, founder of the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation. Beginning in 1980, Biederman led a series of initiatives remaking the park into a destination for visitors and residents seeking respite and recreation. After a complete restoration and reimagining programing of the space in the early 1990s, Bryant Park had become a emblem of midtown Manhattan's rebirth. Today, with caf?s, a performance stage, ping pong tables, and ample tree canopy, it has become one of the most welcoming public parks in New York City.rnrnBiederman went on to launch a private consultancy, helping government agencies, private developers, sports teams, non-profit agencies, and communities reclaim and reimagine the public realm, with self-sustaining parks and urban spaces that contribute to community and economic development. He has worked in Green Bay, Dallas, San Francisco, Nashville, El Paso, and Seattle, among dozens of other cities.

In this week's episode documentary photographer and photo editor Cengiz Yar takes on our ‘Proust Photo Quiz'. The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, a form of parlour game popular at the end of the 1890s. The album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc. was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our ‘Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text.
