Along the way, the group stopped at a unique and secret cave dwelling, still inhabited, although at least a little modernized! And a look at how to make dietary requests and come prepared when you travel here. Remember, on a tour your tour director will help make sure that ingredients and special supplies are accounted for, since Merzouga and the villages along the way are certainly quite isolated. Which is of course part of the attraction!Azdean is there, on the ground as the African Cup completes its setup: there are football fans everywhere, and media from around the world there to cover the event. As we enter 2026, we look at how busy the country expects to be, and why it may in fact be the best time to visit, because it's only going to get busier as the football World Cup approaches, and even more attention is focused on Morocco. Things are busy, but you can still get in before the crowds get even heavier.Azdean even took a direct flight from Atlanta to Marrakech, thanks to the new service from Delta Airlines. With multiple options from the US and Canada to Casablanca and/or Marrakech, travel to Morocco is becoming even easier.This is a special episode for us: although we've done some extra bonus episodes and live q&a replays, we consider this one to be our official 100th episode!

Season 36, Episode 13 of our Serial Killers in History series. This episode examines one of North Africa's most notorious crimes and the execution that shocked the world.In the spring of 1906, authorities in Marrakesh make a discovery that will reverberate across continents. Beneath the packed-earth floor of a modest shoemaker's workshop, they uncover the remains of twenty-six women. Ten more bodies lie buried in a garden nearby. Thirty-six victims in total—women who came to a trusted craftsman for help and never walked out alive. What follows is a story of community betrayal, colonial politics, and a punishment so brutal that diplomats from New York to London demanded intervention. But the screaming from inside the marketplace walls continued for two days before...VICTIM PROFILE:The thirty-six women murdered by Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi remain largely unnamed in historical records—a final cruelty in a case dominated by its killer's infamy. They were working-class women from Marrakesh's medina, women who needed help with everyday tasks in a society where female literacy was rare. Some came to dictate letters to relatives in distant cities. Others needed shoes repaired. They were mothers, daughters, sisters who trusted a man their community trusted. They walked into his shop for legitimate business and vanished into the earth beneath his floor, their identities lost to time while their murderer's name lives in infamy.THE CRIME:Between 1902 and 1906, Mesfewi operated his shop near one of Marrakesh's public bathhouses, positioning himself perfectly to encounter women conducting business without male accompaniment. His method was consistent across all victims: he offered tea laced with narcotics, likely opium, rendering women unconscious. Once incapacitated, he killed them with a dagger and buried them beneath his workshop floor or in a garden he owned, using quicklime to accelerate decomposition. His seventy-year-old accomplice, a woman named Annah, assisted in the crimes until her capture in April 1906.KEY CASE DETAILS:The murders unraveled when families noticed a pattern—women who mentioned visiting Mesfewi's shop were never seen again. One young woman named Fatima escaped after growing dizzy from drugged tea, providing the first direct testimony against the shoemaker. When Annah was captured by a victim's family and forced to confess, she revealed the burial sites before dying from her injuries. Authorities excavating Mesfewi's workshop found twenty-six bodies, methodically buried with layers of quicklime. A second property yielded ten more victims. Forensic science in 1906 Morocco was rudimentary—no fingerprinting, no crime scene photography—so investigators relied on shovels, sketches, and eyewitness accounts to document the horror.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:Mesfewi's crimes occurred during Morocco's final years of independence before European colonization. As his victims were being discovered in April 1906, diplomats gathered in Algeciras, Spain, carving up Morocco's future at an international conference. Within six years, the Treaty of Fez would establish the French Protectorate, ending twelve centuries of Moroccan sovereignty. European powers seized on Mesfewi's execution—he was sealed alive inside a wall in the Marrakesh marketplace—as evidence of "barbaric" Moroccan justice requiring European oversight. Contemporary newspapers from The Times and Democrat to the St. John Sun published detailed accounts and illustrations, framing the case within colonial narratives that justified intervention.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For those who want to explore further:Wikipedia article on Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi provides comprehensive case details and contemporary source citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadj_Mohammed_MesfewiMurderpedia entry includes execution details and victim count documentation: https://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/mesfewi-hadj-mohammed.htmYabiladi article examines the case from a Moroccan historical perspective: https://en.yabiladi.com/articles/details/94637/hadj-mohammed-mesfewi-morocco-serial.htmlFollow us on social media and visit mythsandmalice.com for more historical true crime.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

O cântico de Maria Maria disse então: «A minha alma celebra a grandeza do Senhor e o meu espírito se alegrou em Deus, meu Salvador, porque ele olhou com amor para esta sua humilde serva ! Daqui em diante toda a gente me vai chamar ditosa, pois grandes coisas me fez o Deus poderoso. Ele é Santo! Ele é sempre misericordioso para aqueles que o adoram, em todas as gerações. Fez coisas grandiosas com o seu poder extraordinário. Dispersou os orgulhosos de pensamento e coração . Derrubou os poderosos dos seus tronos e exaltou os humildes. Encheu de bens os que têm fome e mandou embora os ricos de mãos vazias. Ajudou o povo de Israel que o serve, lembrando-se dele com misericórdia. Conforme tinha prometido aos nossos antepassados, a Abraão e seus descendentes para sempre.» Leitura bíblica em Lucas 1:46-55 Quando Maria chegou à casa de Isabel e cantou o seu cântico de louvor, encontrava-se num momento onde a alegria e a incerteza se cruzavam. Embora muitas vezes lembrada pela sua coragem, Maria era ainda uma jovem a enfrentar um futuro cheio de realidades difíceis – murmúrios da comunidade, o peso de uma responsabilidade inesperada e os desafios desconhecidos de criar o Messias. No entanto, o seu cântico revela um coração ancorado, não nas circunstâncias, mas no carácter de Deus. Em vez de se deter no que poderia correr mal, Maria fixou o olhar Naquele que sempre fora fiel ao Seu povo. Nas suas palavras, “A minha alma glorifica o Senhor”, vemos mais do que emoção – vemos uma escolha. Maria decidiu levantar os olhos acima dos seus medos e confiar Naquele que a tinha chamado. Celebrou a misericórdia de Deus, a Sua força e a Sua atenção terna para com os humildes e esquecidos. Maria reconheceu que a sua vida fazia parte de uma história muito maior, uma história que Deus vinha a escrever há gerações. Essa perspetiva permitiu-lhe abraçar um futuro que não compreendia totalmente, confiante de que Deus a sustentaria em cada passo. O cântico de Maria ensina-nos que a confiança não nasce de circunstâncias perfeitas; nasce de conhecer Aquele que as governa. Tal como Maria, também nós enfrentaremos momentos em que o plano de Deus parece maior do que a nossa capacidade, ou em que o caminho à frente está envolto em incerteza. Mas o seu exemplo convida-nos a responder com fé em vez de medo, com adoração em vez de preocupação. Quando escolhemos lembrar-nos da bondade, das promessas e do poder de Deus, o nosso coração pode descansar – mesmo quando a situação não muda. Maria olhou para além dos seus desafios imediatos e encontrou paz no propósito de Deus. Nós também podemos abraçar essa mesma confiança, crendo que o Seu plano vale sempre a pena e que a Sua presença nos sustentará em cada prova. Oração: Senhor, ajuda-me a confiar em Ti como Maria confiou – com firmeza, humildade e fé. Quando as minhas circunstâncias pesarem ou forem incertas, levanta os meus olhos para a Tua bondade e lembra-me do Teu plano perfeito. Dá-me coragem para seguir onde Tu me conduzes e paz para descansar no Teu amor infalível. Amém. - Suzanne Schatzman Neste tempo pede a Deus força para esperar com confiança. Agradece pela alegria que Ele coloca no teu dia. Entrega-Lhe aquilo que te preocupa. Pergunta: o que queres que eu faça hoje para viver mais perto de Ti?

Nos últimos dias, a Guiné-Bissau foi palco de duas actualidades distintas. Na primeira, a ex-primeira Dama, Dinísia Embaló, foi constituída arguida em Lisboa, no caso da mala dos cinco milhões encontrada no jato privado em que viajava. Na outra actualidade, a CPLP suspendeu oficialmente a Guiné-Bissau da organização, retirando ao país a presidência rotativa. Este passo foi dado no dia seguinte à decisão das as autoridades guineenses, que tinham anunciado a suspensão de todas as actividades do país no seio da CPLP, o que foi visto por muitos como uma "auto-suspensão".  A CPLP suspendeu oficialmente a Guiné-Bissau da organização e elegeu Timor-Leste para a Presidência, que até agora era assumida pela Guiné-Bissau. Numa altura em que deve chegar a Bissau uma missão da CEDEAO, outra organização da qual a Guiné-Bissau faz parte,  existe também a possibilidade de a CPLP fazer o mesmo. Solicitada pela RFI, a organização não confirma de forma oficial o envio de uma missão de alto nível a Bissau, como foi decidido na reunião extraordinária da comunidade, a 5 de Dezembro. "Convém que esta missão se desloque o mais rápidamente possível" disse José Ramos Hora, presidente timorense e agora presidente em exercício da CPLP. O dirigente reconheceu que "toda a deslocação terá de ser feita em concordância com os militares, que controlam as fronteiras e o espaço aéreo". José Ramos Horta foi categórico: "Não é possível mostrar flexibilidade. Não é possível ficarmos indiferentes perante a arrogância da clique militar que há cinquenta anos não deixa o país retomar um rumo normal". "Há violaçao flagrante do processo eleitoral, houve interrupção e até mesmo assalto [do processo eleitoral], porque o candidato dos militares perdeu. Agora, vão ficar completamente isolados", concluíu José Ramos Horta, referindo-se à crescente pressão internacional.  Garantias de vida dos presos políticos  Da reunião virtual dos chefes de estado da CPLP, a 16 de Dezembro, outros pontos devem ser destacados. Nomeadamente, pela primeira vez, a exigência "com carácter de urgência, da apresentação de provas de vida e garantias quanto à integridade física de todos os detidos", bem como a sua libertação "imediata e incondicional", já exigida pela CEDEAO. "É o mínimo", considera, em Bissau, Armando Lona, jornalista, investigador e coordenador da Frente Popular.  Como todos sabem, estes detidos não são criminosos, são políticos. Apenas participaram no processo eleitoral. O lugar deles não é prisão. Quem deveria estar na prisão são esses senhores e senhoras que hipotecaram o futuro da Guiné-Bissau durante esses anos todos. Nós saudamos essa posição da CPLP mas pensamos que, para além dessa exigência, é preciso fazer um seguimento. Os presidentes de São Tomé e Príncipe, de Portugal, de Cabo Verde, do Brasil, da Guiné Equatorial, de Moçambique e de Timor Leste, assim como o ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros de Angola. Os dirigentes lusófonos exigiram, uma vez mais, a "retoma urgente da ordem constitucional", alinhando-se com os estatutos democráticos da organização. O que nem sempre foi o caso, denuncia Armando Lona.  Isto é interessante. A retoma da legalidade democrática e da ordem constitucional é o que nós guineenses exigimos. Eu encorajo a CPLP a ir nessa direção, porque o que conta é a legitimidade popular. Esta decisão  da CPLP é responsável, é oportuna. Porque, como sabemos, a CPLP tem tido uma atitude de cumplicidade. Mas acho que nunca é tarde para retomar o caminho do respeito dos estatutos que regulam os comportamentos de cada Estado membro. Esta turma agora que fala em nome da Guiné-Bissau, é uma turma de golpistas. Não tem nenhuma responsabilidade para falar em nome da Guiné-Bissau. Esta dita turma de golpista não passa de uma aberração inqualificável, que nenhum guineense de bom senso estaria interessado a ouvir. E para o investigador Armando Lona, não há como fazer parte de uma organização sem respeitar os estatutos e textos da mesma.Ora "aquilo que se tem passado na Guiné-Bissau é intolerável e inaceitável e enquanto cidadãos da CPLP e das outras organizações, exigimos que se respeite a democracia e os direitos humanos". A 5 de Dezembro, a CPLP decidiu enviar uma missão de alto nível a Bissau para acompanhar o processo de reposição da ordem constitucional. A decisão foi tomada antes da auto-suspensão e da oficialização da suspensão da Guiné-Bissau na CPLP. Mas estes últimos acontecimentos podem comprometer a vinda desta delegação, já que dependerá da boa vontade e da autorização das autoridades guineenses que os membros da CPLP aterrem ou entrem em Bissau.  Mas acho que toda a tentativa de impedir a chegada de uma missão, seja ela da CPLP, da CEDEAO, será uma prova de frustração. Esse grupo [de militares] sabe que está num isolamento total. Não tem legitimidade interna, não tem reconhecimento internacional. Portanto, resta lhe tentar fazer esses subterfúgios fúteis, mas que não, não vão ter sucesso porque o povo já boicotou tudo. O povo guineense está farto desse grupo. Hipotecaram o futuro dos guineenses, sobretudo da juventude, que agora só pensa em emigrar. Essa junta militar... Eu tenho dito e repito que não existe nenhuma junta militar na Guiné-Bissau. Esse grupo não não representa nem 5% dos efectivos das forças guineenses.  Armando Lona diz que estes militares no poder são meras individualidades no seio de toda a corporação militar, não representam portanto as Forças Armadas da Guiné-Bissau. E por outro lado, são milícias que tomaram o poder. Não refletem a realidade sociológica das nossas Forças Armadas. Nós tínhamos a certeza que mais dia menos dia, o regime ia cair. Caiu, como o povo demonstrou de forma brilhante, de forma patriótica, nas urnas. O jornalista prossegue: ao contrário do que foi dito pelo primeiro-ministro Ilídio Té Vieira, à imprensa guineense, no dia seguinte à cimeira da CEDEAO,  "os militares temem sim as ameaças de sanções financeiras".   Têm que temer. Não conseguem fazer nada sem apoio externo. Endividaram a Guiné-Bissau. Levaram o nosso plafond de dívidas para quase mais de 100% do Produto Interno Bruto. Todos os dias estão a emitir títulos de tesouro no mercado regional! Portanto, é um grupo que vive só desses esquemas. Logo, com sanções económicas e financeiras não podem sobreviver. O coordenador da frente popular destaca outro ponto: a existência de uma força da CEDEAO na Guiné-Bissau. Esta é composta por contingentes da Nigéria e do Senegal e os seus membros, fardados e armados, já eram visíveis nas ruas da capital antes das eleições gerais, durante, e depois. Questionamos o real mandato desta força da CEDEAO. Não vale a pena termos uma força paga pelas contribuições dos cidadãos da África Ocidental, quando na realidade está ao serviço de um ditador, que agora ninguém duvida de que era um ditador, mas também um campeão do crime do crime organizado e do branqueamento de capital. Aqui, Armando Lona faz referência à detenção de Dinísia Embaló, a ex-primeira dama, mulher do ex-presidente deposto, que continua em parte incerta. Dinísia Embaló foi constituída arguida por suspeita de contrabando e branqueamento, no caso das malas com 5 milhões de euros encontradas no jacto privado em que viajava. Voo esse que partiu de Marrocos, último país, aliás, onde se soube do paradeiro de Umaro Sissoco Embaló. Fez depois escala em Bissau e seguiu para Lisboa. Um caso que impactará muito provavelmente a imagem e o poder diplomático de Umaro Sissoco Embaló e do seu entourage. Não há julgamento maior do que esse julgamento da opinião pública internacional. Para nós isto basta. Infelizmente, sentimo-nos atingidos porque somos guineenses. Temos orgulho enquanto povo, temos dignidade, e lutámos pela nossa liberdade. Mas por acidente da história temos tido gente que não tem a preparação para estar a nossa frente.

Já falou coisas das quais se arrepende?Imagino que todo mundo já tenha falado coisas das quais se arrepende. Seja pelo impulso, ou por não pensarmos direito, soltamos frases que vão denunciar a nossa imaturidade com as palavras.Veja o que está registrado no Salmo 30, verso 6: "‭‭Eu disse na minha prosperidade: Jamais serei abalado.”Leio essa frase e penso exatamente sobre isso. Seu momento de prosperidade o enganou. Fez com que ele "se achasse" em todos os sentidos. A vida boa criou nele uma falsa sensação de segurança, e isso o afastou de Deus.Certamente a reflexão do salmista é posterior ao fato que lhe trouxe de volta à realidade. Por algum motivo ele descobriu que sua prosperidade de nada servia, e ele se arrependeu do que disse.Essa palavra é apenas um exemplo daquilo que falamos, mas que não deveríamos falar. Falamos demais, e isso é algo que devemos corrigir rapidamente. Os pecados cometidos pela língua são altamente destrutivos. O texto bíblico escrito por Tiago nos adverte de que a língua pode pôr fogo em uma floresta. Falar coisas e se arrepender é um movimento que precisa ser evitado. Fale menos, fale com sabedoria, pense antes de falar, e se for glorificar a Deus, então fale! Mas se não for, é melhor ficar calado.

Filho de um fotógrafo windsurfista e uma empresária, ele começou a praticar artes marciais aos 5 anos de idade. Aos 10, descobriu a escalada e, aos 12, começou a se aventurar no mountain bike. Aos 16 anos, mudou-se para o Alasca, onde concluiu o ensino médio e acumulou uma boa experiência em esportes de neve. Foi na San Diego State University, durante o curso de International Business, que ele encontrou seu caminho sobre as duas rodas. Integrou a equipe de ciclismo da universidade, participou de provas de triathlon e de mountain bike XC, até encontrar sua verdadeira paixão: o downhill. Na modalidade, competiu nos EUA, Canadá e Europa. Enquanto levava as trilhas a sério, dava os primeiros passos na sua carreira no marketing esportivo e trabalhou para marcas famosas como Reef e Oakley. De volta ao Brasil, passou pela Pepsico e Billabong antes de ingressar para o time da Red Bull, onde prospectou e gerenciou mais de 50 atletas de elite, como Henrique Avancini, Neymar, Pedro Scooby e Carlos Burle. Após quatro anos, deixou a empresa para se dedicar à distribuição das bicicletas Santa Cruz no Brasil. Fez a transição do downhill para o enduro e passou a competir tanto na América Latina quanto no Enduro World Series. Em 2018, decidiu retornar aos EUA para fazer um mestrado em Ciências Estatísticas, estabelecendo residência na Califórnia. Lecionou marketing na Universidade da Califórnia e atuou no PayPal antes de expandir seu negócio no mercado de ciclismo, acrescentando a importação das bicicletas da Factor e Yeti para o Brasil, inaugurando duas lojas no país e uma em Los Angeles, consolidando assim sua paixão, experiência e know-how. Conosco aqui, um empresário e ciclista apaixonado pela vida, pelas trilhas, pelo mar e pela neve.

O Presidente da República tinha anunciado, no verão, uma avaliação da ministra da Saúde. Fez-se esperar e a intervenção só chegou no outono. Censurou a falta de estratégia para o Serviço Nacional de Saúde e pediu um acordo de regime. No dia seguinte, foi Pedro Passos Coelho a pedir uma visão mais a longo prazo das decisões políticas, se possível com acordos alargados. As intervenções de Marcelo e de Passos são o ponto de partida para a Comissão Política desta semana em que falamos de avisos e pedidos de acordo, mas também de saúde e da respetiva ministra. Conversam o comissário residente, Vítor Matos, a coordenadora da secção de Política, Liliana Valente, e a jornalista Paula Caeiro Varela, que acompanha o PSD e o Governo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 My first time with Cosplay Beth. By Thintri - listen to the podcast at Steamy Stories. She stood there, waiting impatiently for the delicious meat to slide into her eager hands. She looked forward to having it in her mouth later, I could tell. She continued to caress her belly and nibble on a fingernail as she waited impatiently.She stood around 5'4" in her Converse sneakers. She wore a black pair of boot-cut jeans and a gray tee that read “Never tell me the odds!” and had a set of red, tumbling dice and a star-fighter with four wings in the shape of an “X” sitting above a plate held up by a small plastic pole  The tee was super tight around her breasts, but I didn't notice any bra lines. I would guess she was a 36C or D. Her hips were just as wide and her ass complimented her full hips and busty chest. Her hair reminded me of that Scottish Disney movie princess, all wild and fire red. Her skin was extremely fair, like she would to burst into flames if she stepped outside. She didn't look much older than the drinking age, a good decade or more younger than me. Another adult millennial in the big city. “Seventy Three!” She pounced and grabbed the too thick package and examined it in her suddenly small hands. Her eyes were as wide as saucers and you could almost see saliva well up in the corner of her mouth. I needed to step in before she made a terrible mistake. “Excuse me. That's my Butt.” I said. “I beg your pardon?!” She responded incredulously. “Seventy Three?.. Your holding my Boston Butt.” I said, holding the ticket for her to see. “Oh, right. I'm sorry. I'm in a different world today.” “You actually look really hungry. Are you going to have time to cook or are you going to eat something raw here in the store? I'll have that Butt now.” I said holding my hands out. “Your butt is so big! Erm… I mean…” She said as she handed it over and I placed it in my cart. “Yeah, What's a bachelor going to do with all this food, right? I'm actually hosting a game night for my friends tomorrow. There will be seven of us total. Eight, if you'd like to have a taste of this Butt.” I said making “Butt” sound more like an actual innuendo this time. “T.J.” I added, extending my hand. “Beth. Pleased to meet you, T.J. What's that stand for?” She said, shaking my out-reached hand in a delicate manner. “Thaddeus Junior. ‘Thad' sounds too douchey.” “What do they call your father?” “Thad…” I said, rolling my eyes sheepishly. “But he's too old to even pretend to act like a douche. He would have no idea where to start.” “Oh, well that's good. I bet he showed you how to be a real gentleman.” She said with a slight giggle in her voice. “He showed me how to rub a butt properly, that's for sure.” “Pardon?!” She said eyes wide again. “Barbeque… dry rub? A good rub down and then moisten it up later.” “Oh, yeah… Right…” “So… Wanna come over tomorrow and join my party? You'd even out the group.” “I don't see why not. Could be fun, right?” “Splendid! That means you'll have to come over tonight to get your character squared away and maybe help prep for dinner? I promise I'll feed you tonight, too. I have flank steaks marinating.” “Oh, I don't know…” “You'll have my address and you can tell all of your friends where you'll be. There's even a doorman and a security camera in the lobby.” “Oh. That sounded well-rehearsed. Invite a lot of ladies home, do you?” She asked suspiciously. “No ma'am. I just want your mind at ease.” I lied with my hands up in a disarming manner. My response was also rehearsed, but it worked like a charm. “Tell me about the marinade.” She said slowly, squinting her eyes and nodding her head up at me. “It's a lazy meal night. It's just a store bought Italian dressing, but I add some of this and that. I was thinking maybe use my indoor grill or broil them. Do you have a preference?” I said trying to sink the hook in deeper. I'm not going to broil a steak. That's ridiculous. “Grill it!” “Agreed. So I'll see you at 6:30 then?” “Yeah. Sounds good.” Hook, Line, and Sinker. “Eighty Three!” said the butcher. “I think you're eighty three.” I said pointing at the ticket in her basket at her feet.“ “Oh. That's me!” She said turning towards the counter. We exchanged information and I gave her my address so we could meet up later. I was actually quite excited about making a new hot friend and maybe even more than that. I'm not the type of guy to jump into bed with just anybody. I really wanted to get to know her and see where in my life she might fit. 6:45 rolled around and I finally got a text from Beth: “Hey, Sorry. The train was running late and there's no cell service down there. I'm walking up to street level now. I'll be at your place in Ten minutes. Is there anything you want me to pick up?” I responded: “Hey, glad you're on the way. I was worried you split on me or worse. All I have is vanilla ice cream and toppings for dessert. If that's not good enough, we can walk around the block and get an Italian Ice from the pizza shop. Is red wine okay with the steaks? If not, I have beer. Should I let the wine breathe or would you rather beer?” She responded: “Italian Icies! And beer, please. Wine feels too formal. [Winky emoji] Be up in five.” She wasn't kidding about the train running slow. The news interrupted my background show. There was a brown out on my line that took 20 minutes to fix. One train was in emergency lighting the whole time. I already called ahead downstairs for the doorman to let my new friend up. He needed to send her up manually because she didn't have a key fob to my apartment. The elevator opened to each unit, but they all had entryways prior to the front door. It was a private place to take off wet clothes and hang jackets and kick off shoes before entering. I left the front door open and she let herself in. “Hello? TJ?” “In the kitchen.” “Hey!” She said, giving me a friendly hug. She smelled like strawberries. I also took a good look at her while were chit-chatted. She wore a Falmouth Falcons Jersey and a matching pleated skirt. She had on short two or three inch heels on that had open toes and matched her outfit well. She quickly discarded them and left them in the hall outside of the front door and closed it behind her. She also put a pair of clips in her hair, leaving the right side of her neck exposed. “I was just about to text you to ask how you like your steak cooked?” “Medium. It's okay if it's a little rare, just don't cook it too much, please.” “Oh, that makes it easier on me. I can put them on around the same time.” “Do you need any help with the cooking?” “Umm… Did you want the potatoes mashed, or as is?” “Hmm… Nah. We can leave them like that. They look done, too.” She said, looking into the pot. “Fork ready!” I said stabbing at them. I went ahead and strained them while Beth flipped the steaks. I also served up a helping of corn for each of us and added the potatoes. “How do they look?” She asked me, pointing to the steaks. I poked at one with my finger and pushed until I felt it push back. “Feels about Medium rare. Maybe another minute on that side.” I said. Beth took it upon herself to grab two beers from the fridge. I was just about done with my second, so it was good timing on her part. “This looks interesting. ‘Axel Rogues' P.O.'d India Pale Ale'? Is it new?” “It's from a brewery a couple of my friends partially own. They send it up from the Alabama Coast for me. They might be giving me a bit of a drinking problem.” I said in jest. “Isn't it bad to have cartoon characters on your beer labels? Something about advertising to minors?” “It's a promotional thing. Only a few of those labels were printed. It was mostly for investors and the grand opening a few weeks back.” “Oh. This tastes pretty good!” She said, wide-eyed. I was told it's a bit of a panty dropper, but I wasn't telling her that. “Yeah. It's got a lot of subtle tastes that the female focus groups enjoyed. The male groups said it's refreshing, but might be too easy to drink. Hence my problem.” I kidded again, even though it was true. Dinner went by pretty quickly and we both cleared our plates and then dumped the dishes in the washer. She was on her third beer and I had just finished my fourth. “Would you like another or maybe a Manhattan?” I asked, trying to grease her wheels some. “Can you make a White Manhattan?” She asked. It felt more like a test. “Sure. Is Hudson okay?” I asked, volleying her serve. “That'd be perfect!” She said all too eagerly. Beth went ahead and wiped the table down and moved some of the settings aside to make room for us to work. She had brought her messenger bag and pulled out a large Velcro binder with a few gaming books. I was actually impressed with her line of questioning and her surprising neatness. We decided that one of her old characters, a Human Monk, was a good fit for the group and I gave her the run-down of the story so far, as best as I could remember. She wasn't surprised by the content being sexual in nature. Lots of groups add a sexy/romantic spin thanks to modern fantasy movies and books. One girl in the group, Adrienne, had to re-roll after a death because she decided to fight her way out of an Orc rape scene rather than lose her purity. She was playing a Paladin at the time, so it was pretty fitting. She did set fire to the camp site and take out a few Orcs before she died, though. It was pretty awesome. She re-rolled into a rogue who was her last toon's “Black Sheep” sister; she was a very pissed off rogue. We completely forgot about going out for Icies and decided to chat some more about the group and where I felt the story might lead. I noticed in my peripheral vision that her nipples started to show through her tight shirt. My apartment isn't that cold. I like it to be around seventy six degrees. The air is humidity controlled, so the extra A/C isn't needed. The conversation slid over to her cosplay hobby and how devout she is to it. She whipped out her phone and swiped through several characters she's played at conventions and ren faires. She's even done some minor MeTube shorts in character. We were sitting side-by-side, nearly shoulder to shoulder as she swiped. One particular picture was done in a mirror “selfie” fashion. She was wearing a very tight corset dress that was blue and white, similar to a very familiar droid we all know and love. Her breasts were practically pouring out of her top and her hand was between her legs in a provocative manner. “Whoops… You weren't supposed to see that… Sorry” “Hey now… You should share with the rest of the class, Missy.” I said leaning in closer to her and her phone. “Okay, but they really aren't much to look at. Really.” She said modestly. The pics varied from lingerie to sexy cosplay back to lingerie. Some were topless, but her free hand covered her nipples. There was still an eye-full of side and under boob, though. “I showed you mine, now you show me yours.” She demanded playfully. I had several shirtless gym “Swole” pics as well as a few cosplay pics, too. None as flattering as her pictures, but she seemed pleased with them. She was definitely excited about my picture with me wearing a Fez and bow tie. As I got up for another drink, I opted to switch back to beer. I offered her one over her shoulder and she took it, letting her hand linger on mine, not taking the bottle, though. She let the cold glass rub her neck and shoulder, and when she finally took it, she pulled me into a bent over, sideways kiss. I'm pretty sure she was feeling similar fireworks to mine. I went ahead and climbed over the couch, letting our head bump in the process. We giggled as we put our beers down and started making out like ninth graders. I was being a complete gentleman and let my hands fall on her face and neck as we kissed. Her hands were in similar places, but soon explored down to my chest. I kept it cool and let her do her thing while both of my hands were now working her neck and tangled in her hair. She reached up and pulled her clips out so I didn't pull on her hair the wrong way. I kept up my aggressive assault above her shoulders as she continued to grope my chest and stomach over my shirt. I was wearing a light, loose button-down and low-rise dark blue jeans. Her hands explored more while undoing a button or two. Her left hand snaked into the opening and now rubbed my chest more over my ribbed tank tee underneath. Once all my buttons were undone, I took some initiative and grabbed her under her thighs and pulled her into my lap. She was now kneeling on both sides of my pelvis. We only broke the kiss long enough to discard my top and then my undershirt. My hands were now under her tee shirt, caressing her back. My fingers roamed and slid over where her bra strap would have been. She felt my mouth peak at the sides in a little smile at that. She giggled and pulled her tee off and tossed it to the adjacent love seat. We were sitting bare chest to bare chest as she started moving her hips in a subtle rocking motion on my lap. My hands found her breasts as I continued to molest her tongue with mine. My cock was rock hard and rubbing against her pussy though my jeans and thin fabric of her underwear. She started undoing my belt and pants as I worked on unbuttoning her skirt and pulling the hip zipper down one handed as my mouth found her right breast. Her strawberry scent was so much stronger with my face in her chest. It was driving me crazy. “Take them off.” She said breathlessly, standing up and discarding her skirt, adding it to her tee. I hopped my butt up and pulled my pants off without standing. She was standing between my legs and I would have prolly head-butted her again if I tried to stand. I decided to leave my boxer briefs on to match her level of dress. She sat back down straddling my lap again, only leaving more room between our pelvises this time. My mouth found her left breast as she blindly reached into the opening of my shorts. I was cupping her left breast with my right hand as my left hand began to fondle her right ass cheek. She was wearing a g-string. My hand would squeeze her ass and slide between her cheeks and back to squeezing again. She gasped as she grabbed my cock with her hand. She couldn't see it past my head or through my shorts, but she was certainly pleased with it's size and current level of petrification. She knelt on her left knee and tried to slide my shorts down. I miscued my attempt at helping by hopping my butt again and we head- butted again. We giggled, took a drink and she took my shorts off and took her place back in my lap again. This time, she was crushing my cock against her slit, covered by the tiniest triangle of fabric I've ever seen… Or felt for that matter. Her rocking increased and she was now dry-humping my cock. I could feel her moistness lubricating my dick through her g-string. My pre-cum was starting to bubble over my mushroom cap. Her nails dug into my chest. I didn't notice them until now… They were French tipped and matched her Quidditch jersey. My hands were both on her ass now, as my fingers were sliding up and down her crack and slipping under the thin thread. Her breathing became ragged as my fingers found her drenched pussy from behind. One hand was holding her string aside and her pussy open for me. My right hand found her opening and clit as she rocked back. She started to cum, grinding harder onto me. She called out my name as she climaxed and crumpled onto my chest. Her head on my shoulder. She was panting hard. My fingers continued to rub her from behind softly, easing several after shocks out of her. “Excuse me a moment.” She finally said through choppy breaths. She made her way to the hallway bath and I took the opportunity to grab a condom from the coffee table drawer. I had just enough time to tear one free from the rest and tuck it into the side of the couch cushion when the bathroom door opened up. Her face and chest were flushed, and she still wobbled a little when she walked. It was a combination of her orgasm and the alcohol, I guess. She was holding her g-string in one hand. Her pussy was clean shaven except for a thin trail of red pubic hair just above her clit hood. My dick jumped in approval. “What are we going to do about that?” She said hitching her head towards my crotch. “What did you have in mind?” I said standing before she got too close. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into another passionate kiss. My cock was rubbing against her navel and my hands found her ass again. She pushed/eased me back onto the couch and got between my legs. She tossed her undies to the side, this time missing the pile and ending up on the floor. The flimsy fabric wasn't heavy enough to make the whole flight. She also had a condom in her hand that she sat on the couch beside me. She must have snuck it out of the medicine cabinet. Her eyes didn't leave mine as her hands stroked my cock. Her butt lowered to a sitting position on her heels. Her mouth opened wide enough to lick the head as she pumped me. She licked from the root to the tip. Her face was covered from her chin to her hair line when she was at her deepest. My dick was longer than her face. She started to suck me off, never stopping to close her eyes, she barely blinked as she stared right into my mine. I would have loved to close my eyes and roll my head back, but her eyes were entrancing. It was the hottest blow job I have ever gotten. Hands down. She was moaning on my cock, flicking her tongue in my tip's slit, lapping up any pre-cum that was leaking out. There was plenty of it, too. My dick was practically drooling. As soon as she was certain that she killed half of my fortitude, she leaned over and retrieved the condom and handed it to me. I ripped it open and popped it on like a magician doing a close-up magic trick. A dove flew out from under my sack. I'm kidding. I grabbed her and pulled her to the couch letting her fall supine. My cock was already at her moist opening. Her heels dug into the backs of my thighs. My dick slid in a good quarter of the way, our gaze never breaking. Her heels let up some and I retreated only to thrust in again. I found a bit of resistance when I got better than half of my shaft inside her. I finally bottomed out on the fourth stroke. I could feel her cervix give about an inch and then kiss my crown with every pass. It was incredible. I still had about an inch to give her, but she'd have to take that herself, I wasn't going to hurt her. Once I got into a good rhythm, I reached up to place my right hand over her shoulder to support my weight over her a little better. She took my hand and placed it on her neck and gently squeezed my forearm until my fingers mimicked her squeezing. Once she was satisfied with my ministrations on her neck, she started to grind against me from underneath. Her left leg took footing on the floor and bounced up onto me. She was looking for the last inch. My left hand wrapped around her left ankle and lifted her leg up over my shoulder and she finally got what she wanted. I was completely inside her and now, my pubic bone grinding into her clit with each thrust. I shortened my stride and let her clit join in on the fun full-time. I found a nipple with my left hand and rubbed it gently, increasing the sensations more and more. A good deal of my upper body weight was on her neck as I squeezed, but she didn't seem to mind. Her mouth creased into a thin smile as she moaned louder and louder. She was going to cum again, only this time she was cumming on my sheathed cock. Her pussy gripped me tighter and my hands involuntarily did the same to her neck and nipple. Her eyes shot open wide as the convulsions started. My pace quickened and I started to penetrate her deeper again. Her squishing was suddenly louder and more pronounced. Her juices were coating my balls as she continued to shake and moan breathlessly. I released her and leaned back and pulled her legs further apart and rubbed her clit in a similar fashion as before. She shook and gasped as she let a third orgasm pass on by. My strokes came to a halt and stopped rubbing her clit. “Are you okay?” I asked smiling at her. The redness dimmed in her face now that the blood returned, but she was still very flushed. “That…was pretty fucking perfect!” She said honestly. “If you let me turn you over, I can go for extra credit. How does that sound?” I replied. “Oh! You didn't cum yet! Take me anyway you'd like!” She said rolling over onto her hands and knees. My right thumb immediately found her puckered asshole. “Okay, not anyway, Cowboy.” She added, giggling. I leaned in and slid all the way in, missing her cervix this time because of the angle. I was stretching her out while hitting all the right spots. My balls nuzzling her clit as I stroked into her. I could see her pussy pull out with me slightly despite her moisture and the lube on the condom. Her climax surprised us both as she began to ram back onto me. I didn't slow down because her canal tightened up and was now hugging all my favorite spots. I plowed through her narrowing passage looking for my own prize. She didn't have any time to recover as she reached orgasm again and again until I was ready. “Where would you like it?” I asked, being a perfect gentleman. “Don't you… fucking dare… pull out… FUCK!” She gasped between strokes. One last look at the condom to check on it's structural integrity and I was plowing harder, deeper, and faster now. Her moans reached a familiar volume again and I was doing my best to time my nut with her next orgasm. As soon as my seed spilled into her condom-protected cunt, she came hard again. We both grunted our approval as my balls emptied. We stayed like that for a moment, knotted together in pleasure. I could feel my cock softening so I took it as a cue to pull out. I grabbed the base of the condom and my cock and slid it out slowly. She tried backing into me to keep me inside her. The latex held and there was a considerable load sloshing in the tip. It would have produced triplets if that's how sex actually worked. She rolled over and collapsed back onto the couch. Seeing the condom in my hand, she grabbed it and poured it all over her huge breasts and rubbed it in, licking her fingers and popping a nipple in her mouth, purring like a cat. It was the grossest thing I ever saw. I fucking loved it, though. I showed her to my master bath and started the shower. I had a garden tub and a shower stall with just enough room for us both inside. We cleaned up and kissed some under the water, then dried off. She retrieved her clothes in one bundle. Her eyes looked like she had something to say, but her lips didn't move. We were both pretty drunk by now and the trains were far too dangerous to ride. I offered to call her a cab and pay for it, but she declined taking my money, saying something about feeling like a hooker. I assured her that wasn't the case and she smiled. I also offered her my spare bedroom, assuming that sleeping in the same bed would be too intimate for her. She gladly accepted. I grabbed something for her to sleep in. A pair of sweats and a big, soft white tee. I was wearing something similar, although they fit me better. After showing her to the spare bedroom and turning the bed for her, I gave her a sensual kiss on her mouth. No tongue. A peck on her forehead and I walked to the door. “What time do you wake up?” She asked, fiddling with her phone above the covers. “Got somewhere to be?” I jested. “Ten? Maybe? Wake me if you're up first. How does pancakes sound for breakfast?” “Oh my Gaia, He's making me pancakes…” She said laughing out loud. “It's a deal!” As I hit the light, I could see her face lit up by her cell phone screen. She was prolly giving the “all clear” to one of her girlfriends, assuring them that she was alright. Prolly better than alright. I reached my bedroom and wiggled under the sheet and took my rest for the night. My bedside clock said 1:37 AM. Not a bad first date, eh? My eyes were heavy and I surrendered to the best sleep of my life. By Thintri , for Literotica

Cartógrafo, major e explorador, Percy Fawcett percorreu alguns dos lugares mais inóspitos do planeta. Em sua juventude, no Sri Lanka, explorou baías remotas e identificou ruínas de antigos reinos budistas.Quando adulto, trabalhou como espião para a Grã-Bretanha, investigando o sultão do Marrocos em Fez.Mas foi na Amazônia tornou-se famoso: Fawcett liderou expedições pelo Acre e pela Bolívia, ajudando a definir as fronteiras entre os dois países.Suas jornadas tornaram-se célebres, com seu rosto impresso em capas de jornais e revistas por toda Europa. Um tabloide da época dizia:“Esse é o verdadeiro escoteiro: tomem-o como exemplo! "O prestígio foi tanto que Leonard Darwin, filho de Charles Darwin e presidente da Royal Geographical Society, o levou em turnê para palestrar pela Inglaterra.Com chapéu de feltro, caderno de anotações e um jeito independente de trabalhar, Fawcett acabou se tornando o molde do aventureiro que mais tarde inspiraria personagens como Indiana Jones.Mas...nem todos o viam como um herói. Muitos colegas o consideravam rígido, arrogante e charlatão, um homem obcecado por glória pessoal e convicções quase absolutas sobre o território que explorava.E, de fato, havia muitas coisas sobre a vida de Fawcett que não era divulgada pela mídia geral...

“Você tem que estar bem para o João Pedro ficar bem”, ouviu Mariana aos vinte e quatro semanas de gestação, ao descobrir um câncer de mama triplo negativo ; um tipo particularmente agressivo. De repente, ela precisou cuidar da própria vida e da vida que crescia dentro dela. Fez a mastectomia grávida: uma decisão guiada pela graça, mas também pelo medo de entrar em trabalho de parto. Apesar da seriedade da doença, Mariana viveu a gravidez com alegria — o seu bebê era um presente da vida.Ela conta aqui sobre o puerpério que veio junto com o tratamento, a impossibilidade de amamentar, e o vínculo com o filho que nasceu no olhar, dando a mamadeira.Num país onde a pressão social para amamentar é grande, vale lembrar: cada mãe, junto com o filho, encontra seu próprio jeito de cuidar, de criar o vínculo, de amar. Com Mariana, falamos sobre a doença que a fez repensar o corpo, o tempo e o trabalho; sobre a recidiva; e sobre a dimensão espiritual que sustenta a sua vida.Obrigada, Mariana, por nos lembrar, neste Outubro Rosa, que o cuidado com o corpo também é um ato de amor e que toda cura começa pelo vínculo que criamos com a vida.Gravamos a distância entre Belo Horizonte e São Paulo.

Dr. Rosemary Admiral provides a groundbreaking history of women's legal engagement in Marinid Morocco between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries that fundamentally challenges contemporary assumptions about women's relationships to Islamic legal traditions. Drawing on a rich collection of fatwas (legal documents) from Fez and surrounding areas, Dr. Admiral demonstrates how women—some without formal education—strategically navigated complex legal landscapes to protect their interests, expand their rights, and reshape social dynamics. Contrary to prevailing narratives that portray Islamic law as a monolithic, oppressive system, the book shows how women actively co-produced legal interpretations. They used sophisticated strategies like contract stipulations, exploring plurality in legal opinions, and consulting local scholars to renegotiate marriage terms and expand their rights. These women did not view the legal system as an enemy, but as an instrument for challenging misdeeds and addressing community needs. Dr. Admiral draws attention to the historical practice and implementation of the Maliki school of Islamic law in an area that remained outside of Ottoman control. She highlights women's engagement with Islamic law as deeply embedded in support systems encompassing families, communities, and legal structures, and makes visible women's agency and power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for week 3. Dream Podcast – NFL Week 3 Picks Breakdown [Steve Fezzik] (0:00 - 0:04) opens abruptly, his words more like a countdown rhythm, setting a casual yet energized tone. [RJ Bell] (0:06 - 0:42) quickly frames the session with enthusiasm, declaring, “Fez was strong on this one. Acme. Just think Acme is the key word.” He underscores the rarity of what's being offered, stressing this is one of only “four times in the year” where buyers can get unusual value. His analysis implies urgency and scarcity, pressing listeners to act. [Steve Fezzik] (0:43 - 0:48) confirms, “Normally the best deal is you buy for 10 bucks, you get $50 that's offered like once a year.” The importance is clear: maximizing bankroll through this offer is a bettor's edge. [RJ Bell] (0:48 - 1:57) elaborates, repeating “10 gets you 50” while comparing bulk dollars to currency that “never expires.” He emphasizes, “You can spend bulk dollars just like cash never expires,” framing them as stable and advantageous. His implication is that investing here amplifies purchasing power and locks in long-term flexibility. [Steve Fezzik] (1:57 - 2:00) briefly shifts, noting “Hey doc, sports is still going strong,” signaling momentum and reinforcing credibility. [RJ Bell] (2:00 - 2:22) redirects to performance, praising Fezzik: “In college football this season, Steve Fezzik is up 43 units plus. How do you do that in three weeks?” The statistic highlights extraordinary profitability, anchoring Fezzik's authority. [Steve Fezzik] (2:22 - 2:23) explains simply, “High volume,” acknowledging his strategy. [RJ Bell] (2:23 - 2:36) pushes further, asking about availability of picks, emphasizing immediacy. [Steve Fezzik] (2:36 - 2:47) clarifies, “I got my Thursday, Friday college football package up. So I got plays multiple plays for Thursday and Friday,” stressing preparedness and access. [RJ Bell] (2:47 - 3:02) advises Fezzik to release weekend packages early, suggesting buyers will maximize the $10-to-$50 offer, showing a direct connection between financial deal and betting content. [Steve Fezzik] (3:04 - 3:14) adds credibility, noting, “I already won my underdog game of the year. Georgia Tech beats Clemson bonus pick… Clemson under nine and a half wins.” These stats reinforce his sharp projections and long-term leverage, demonstrating foresight on both single games and season totals. [RJ Bell] (3:14 - 4:54) amplifies Fezzik's success: “That's over 10 units. That's like 14 units a week.” He frames it as “crazy,” underscoring just how rare such hot streaks are. His analysis ties the value of the bulk dollar promotion to Fezzik's picks, arguing this is the “wise guy move.” He instructs listeners to buy through Pregame.com, directly linking purchase mechanics to betting success. [Steve Fezzik] (4:55 - 5:18) pivots to NFL observations: “There are no upsets in the NFL anymore… if you just money lined every four point favorite and higher so far, you are undefeated.” This team-level trend reveals a major shift in survivor pool dynamics, implying fewer surprises early in the season. He cautions it may be an “aberration” but still impactful for Week 3 strategy. [RJ Bell] (5:18 - 5:20) challenges why lead with an aberration, sharpening the analysis. [Steve Fezzik] (5:28 - 5:47) closes this segment by pointing to contrarian betting: “If you had done nothing but bet 0–2 teams week three in the NFL catching points 48, 27…” His stat illustrates historical strength of fading public panic on struggling teams, reinforcing his long-term contrarian philosophy.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 2. NFL Week 2: The Picks Breakdown [RJ Bell] (0:05 - 3:09): “Alright guys, just finished up.” He immediately introduced the night's action, noting a major play on Washington at +3.5 from South Point and +3 at even money elsewhere. His breakdown emphasized confidence in the pick, urging listeners to follow the reasoning provided throughout. He also highlighted Steve Fezzik's hot streak, up 32 units already this season, and A.J. Hoffman's consistent multi-year success. This was used to reinforce credibility and demonstrate sharpness in market reads. [Steve Fezzik] (3:09 - 3:19): “Pick them to win outright.” He argued the bet was justified given the game flow, explaining it would predictably settle within a narrow margin. His comment underscored the razor-thin line between winning and losing in close spreads. [RJ Bell] (3:19 - 3:49): “But, once again, if they would have went for it down on, what was it, like the 15? Yeah, could have had a tie.” He expressed frustration over a coaching decision, pointing to how single calls can swing results. The implication was that bettors often find value or heartbreak in these fine margins. [RJ Bell] (3:52 - 3:59): “But, we almost won in the first half.” He reflected on momentum swings, stressing how first-half edges can foreshadow outcomes. His excitement revealed how bettors savor small victories even when final results turn. [Steve Fezzik] (3:59 - 4:10): “Nothing is better than betting like a baseball first five and then watching your team get their teeth kicked in.” His analogy showed the gambler's paradox—sometimes the bet is safe despite later collapses. This framed the unpredictability of sports betting as both painful and exhilarating. [RJ Bell] (4:11 - 4:39): “All right.” He explained their betting breakdown: two dimes split, with one having no vig. This transparency gave insight into bankroll strategy and why certain plays carry less risk. [Steve Fezzik] (4:39 - 4:42): “If you're listening during the summer, you won the Cincinnati under 46.” He referenced past success, reinforcing the credibility of sharp picks on season totals. [RJ Bell] (4:42 - 4:58): “By the way, Fez, I thought you were a little, let's just say, much about Seattle losing.” His pushback highlighted accountability in analysis. The back-and-forth emphasized how handicappers debate variance versus bad beats, reflecting broader conversations among bettors. [Steve Fezzik] (5:02 - 5:10): “Yeah, but I liked the spot.” He defended his position, showing conviction in handicapping angles beyond raw results. This reinforced how context matters more than outcome in evaluating a pick. Key Takeaways Player and Team Stats: The discussion referenced Washington's spread value, Seattle's underdog position, and Cincinnati's win total under 46. These stats were central to their betting angles, showing how sharp bettors exploit lines beyond just wins and losses. Strategic Insights: The speakers revealed how bankroll management (splitting dimes, avoiding vig) and situational angles (coaching calls, first-half strength) shape betting success. Implications: Their commentary stressed that variance and razor-thin spreads define the betting landscape, where judgment, timing, and discipline matter more than hindsight complaints.

Saudações, ouvintes apaixonados por locução. Está NO AR o 97º podcast VOZ OFF! Neste episódio, Antônio Viviani e Nicola Lauletta conversam com mais uma grande voz do rádio. Nascido em Araras - SP, filho de um vendedor de veículos pesados, sonhava em ser piloto de aviões, e sua paixão era tão grande que se tornou um estudioso no assunto, pois admirava Santos Dumont, e conhecia tudo da vida do ídolo. Quando estudava no 2º grau, uma professora o incentivou a procurar a rádio da cidade, que acabara de abrir testes para quem quisesse trabalhar de locutor. Compareceu sem muitas expectativas, mas naquele momento se apaixonou pela profissão, e continua a trabalhar no rádio até hoje, devendo comemorar 50 anos de carreira no ano que vem. Começou na Rádio Primavera de Araras, depois foi para Porto Ferreira, até que resolveu tentar a sorte em São Paulo. Fez teste na Rádio Excelsior AM, mas foi contratado pela Rádio Record, onde conheceu e conviveu com verdadeiros ícones do rádio, que muito o inspiraram. Trabalhou na Rádio Difusora, depois Antena 1, fez cabine na TV Globo, testes nas recém lançadas na época Manchete e Cidade, onde foi escolhido e trabalhoupor 25 anos. Depois, passou pela Rádio Globo, 2 vezes, Nativa, 2 vezes, Tupi, Capital, Massa FM e Super Rádio, onde se encontra até hoje. Quem vai contar a sua história de sucesso é Rony Magrini. A conversa aconteceu em julho de 2025 e você vai ficar sabendo que, como todo locutor de sucesso no AM, acaba fazendo merchandising e já está há 25 anos dando assessoria para o tradicional Armarinhos Fernando, um gigante do comércio popular de São Paulo. Também começou a atuar na internet, tendo um podcast e canal no YouTube chamado Rokast, e um programa de rádio ao vivo na internet chamado E aí?, ambos em parceria com o locutor Kaká Siqueira. Com a gente, e pra vocês: RONY MAGRINI!

Regardless, Blue Prince (Dogubomb, 2025) is the latest hit in a type of knowledge-is-power game that is really appealing to certain types of gamers. The only difference is that we seem to fully know the full depths of previous games like Animal Well, Outer Wilds, Fez, Tunic, etc....but nobody knows how deep Blue Prince goes. It's also rich with interesting design choices and contradictions, more story than meets the eye, a lowkey amazingly good soundtrack and more. Tune in for the discussion!

Passou a noite do 25 de abril a chorar agarrado à G3, no quartel de Mafra. Fez a primeira greve nas forças armadas. Foi corrido à pedrada nas campanhas de dinamização do MFA no Alentejo, por estar a tirar emprego aos locais. Luís Pinheiro de Almeida recorda a censura e a pancadaria quando o PCP tomou conta da sua agência noticiosa, onde trabalhava como jornalista ao mesmo tempo que era assessor de imprensa de Otelo. No dia 25 de novembro parecia um pistoleiro mexicano todo armado quando foi visitar o pai, que fazia anos: “Parabéns, pai, não posso ficar, estou em guerra”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
