Podcasts about Havana

Former software engineer Ana Hebra Flaster has written extensively about Cuba and the Cuban-American experience for major U.S. publications including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Boston Globe, as well as on her acclaimed Substack, @CubaCurious. Her memoir, "Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town," traces her family's remarkable journey from post-revolutionary Havana to a snowy mill town in New England. In our conversation, Ana reflects on the realities of immigration, the legacy of the Cuban Revolution, and the generations of women who held her family together through upheaval and reinvention. From mama Consuelo come enduring lessons: making yourself brave in the face of danger; standing up for the truth, your rights, and for others; happiness being a choice (just like bitterness is); and letting go of grudges to move forward.

EP. # 1286 Havana Syndrome Goes Domestic: Targeted Individual Benjamin Conine and the American V2K Nightmare When Benjamin Conine's computers were remotely wiped and his wife began acting like a stranger overnight, he thought it was sophisticated hacking. Then the voices started, clear, synthetic, projected directly into his skull, day and night. What began as digital sabotage has, over two years, become relentless psychological warfare using voice-to-skull (V2K) transmission, street-level surveillance teams, and tactics eerily reminiscent of The Finders cult and modern MK-ULTRA successors. Tonight, Benjamin brings logs, recordings, and a chilling warning: the technology to silently control human thought already exists, it's being deployed on civilians, and almost no one believes the victims until it's too late. GUEST: Benjamin Conine is a maintenance technician and everyday husband who, since 2023, claims to have been subjected to an ongoing, high-tech targeting campaign involving remote neural manipulation, voice-to-skull harassment, and coordinated psychological operations. After his and his wife's devices were compromised and inexplicable voices appeared in their heads, he began meticulously documenting the intrusions. Drawing parallels to historic CIA programs and present-day surveillance fusion centers, Benjamin now speaks out as one of thousands of self-described “Targeted Individuals,” determined to prove that the sci-fi nightmare of silent mind control is already here.

Tobin says that there is an argument to be had that if Michigan beat Ohio State, Leroy surprisingly disagrees. News hit that the Marlins and Stowers are not seeing eye to eye, and hearing out trade deals for Sandy. Tobin yells to little Havana to go out and get Pete Alsono, give him the POLAR BEAR. We play our favorite Tuesday game “Damage Is Done” where Tobin gets fired up about them taking points away from Kel'el Ware, and we question what Mario Cristobal does for Thanksgiving.

Tobin gets in the Thanksgiving spirit, stating that he is thankful for Erik Spoelstra. And makes what Leroy feels is “too much” by claiming Kel'el Ware is SPECIAL. We played through the goals of the Panthers ridiculous 8 goal game last night. Tobin wants to know why Hailee Steinfeld fans hate Josh Allen.

We preview the Dolphins upcoming matchup on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, Tobin of course must torture us all with a Mike McDaniel clip, as we get updates on injuries. We dip into the Mixed Bag as we hear from Tyler Herro, Lane Kiffin, and more. The beloved Jimmy from Hoch, Crowder, and Solana jumps on the mic to give us his best Keshad Johnson impression. Tobin annoys Leroy and the peanut gallery when he starts playing hypotheticals with the potential of Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders coming back, everyone begs him to cut it out. Tobin decides to double down when the gang calls him out on his Tomfullery when he claims that he will not be looking to put anyone on the chopping block on this Heat team, he swears that Luka Doncic wouldn't make him happier than Davion Mitchell.

fWotD Episode 3123: Indigenous people of the Everglades region Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 22 November 2025, is Indigenous people of the Everglades region.The indigenous people of the Everglades region arrived in the Florida peninsula of what is now the United States approximately 15,000 years ago, probably following large game. The Paleo-Indians found an arid landscape that supported plants and animals adapted to prairie and xeric scrub conditions. Large animals became extinct in Florida around 11,000 years ago. Climate changes 6,500 years ago brought a wetter landscape. The Paleo-Indians slowly adapted to the new conditions. Archaeologists call the cultures that resulted from the adaptations Archaic peoples. They were better suited for environmental changes than their ancestors, and created many tools with the resources they had. Approximately 5,000 years ago, the climate shifted again to cause the regular flooding from Lake Okeechobee that became the Everglades ecosystems.From the Archaic peoples, two major tribes emerged in the area: the Calusa and the Tequesta. The earliest written descriptions of these people come from Spanish explorers who sought to convert and conquer them. Although they lived in complex societies, little evidence of their existence remains today. The Calusa were more powerful in number and political structure. Their territory was centered around modern-day Fort Myers, and extended as far north as Tampa, as far east as Lake Okeechobee, and as far south as the Keys. The Tequesta lived on the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula around what is today Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. Both societies were well adapted to live in the various ecosystems of the Everglades regions. They often traveled through the heart of the Everglades, though they rarely lived within it.After more than 210 years of relations with the Spanish, both indigenous societies lost cohesiveness. Official records indicate that survivors of war and disease were transported to Havana in the late 18th century. Isolated groups may have been assimilated into the Seminole nation, which formed in northern Florida when a band of Creeks consolidated surviving members of pre-Columbian societies in Florida into their own to become a distinct tribe. Seminoles were forced into the Everglades by the U. S. military during the Seminole Wars from 1835 to 1842. The U. S. military pursued the Seminoles into the region, which resulted in some of the first recorded explorations of much of the area. Seminoles continue to live in the Everglades region, and support themselves with casino gaming on six reservations located throughout the state.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:59 UTC on Saturday, 22 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Indigenous people of the Everglades region on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

Send us a textIn this episode we look back at three people it is almost hard to imagine not being around. Hulk Hogan, if you are kid in my age range, middle 50s, was as big a star as ever roamed the Earth. He was the catalyst for Professional Wrestling's leap into mainstream society taking it from a cable television novelty, to starring in, what is still today, the largest indoor sporting event in all of history with an attendance of 93,173 to see Hulk Hogan wrestle 7ft 4 inch, Andre the Giant. Huge is an understatement at what an event that was for anyone who was watching it. We honor Hulk Hogan here though, for one of the last things he did in his long and storied career. He spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024 on behalf of President Donald Trump. At the time, many of the political analyst were saying he was the first Pro wrestler to be involved as an endorser in Presidential Politics. That was far from the truth. Ric Flair had been a big supporter of George H. W. Bush and in 1992 he traveled North and South Carolina with him. We have an episode dedicated to that in our back catalogue from our 1992 Changing of the Guard Series.  We look back at Hulk Hogan with a great deal of fondness, he was a huge part of my childhood. Hulk Hogan was 71 years old.Jim Lovell, helped guide the Apollo 13 Moon mission back to Earth after disaster struck it and an oxygen tank exploded mid mission. The fabulous movie "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks and Directed by Ron Howard tells the story, as does an episode in our back catalogue of material. Jim Lovell always came across as a super nice man, known as "smiling Jim" by his fellow astronauts in the 1960s. I was honored to tell his Apollo 13 story during our initial Richard Nixon series. Jim Lovell was also on the first trip to circumnavigate the moon, and was a a part of the crew that took the famous "Earthrise" photo. We have an episode in our series on Lyndon Johnson that covers that mission. Jim Lovell was 97 years old. This year also saw the passing of my Mother, Gloria Bulmer's favorite movie star, Robert Redford. He was "The Great Gatsby." I have seen the movie several times, it was my mother's favorite. Redford was famous for many other huge blockbuster movies too from "All the President's Men" to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", to another of my mother's favorite movies, "The Sting" with Paul Newman and Robert Shaw. He was the quintessential movie star. He also has an episode in our back catalogue, when we profiled one of my all time favorite movies, "Casablanca", and along with it another of my favorites, that was one of the few of his movies that flopped, "Havana". I loved the movie and never understood why it did so poorly at the box office. Redford also founded the Sundance Movie Festival, which has helped show some of independent films best work. For that we owe him a great deal of gratitude. Robert Redford was 89 years old. We invite you to comb through our back catalogue for all four of these episodes. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/9047347   Episode 42 Earthrise the story of 1968's Apollo 8https://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/9474650  Episode 58 Richard Nixon the Man that Saved the Union : Apollo 13 Our Finest Hourhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1507867/episodes/16716829  Episode 349 George H.

Cuban Link is more than just a name in hip hop—he's a storyteller, a survivor, and an artist with a legacy rooted in both pain and perseverance. In this raw, unfiltered episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Cuban Link to trace the incredible journey from escaping Cuba as a child during the Mariel boatlift to becoming a lyrical force in the Bronx during the golden era of hip hop.At just five years old, Felix Delgado—known to the world as Cuban Link—boarded a crowded boat from Havana to the U.S., escaping political oppression alongside his family. That harrowing journey, filled with danger, violence, and even sharks in the open sea, became the foundation of a life built on survival. From a chaotic refugee camp in Key West to the gritty streets of the South Bronx, Cuban Link's story unfolds like a movie—but it's all real.This episode dives deep into the moments that shaped him—as a man, an artist, and a loyal brother to the late, great Big Pun. Listeners will hear how a chance meeting on a Bronx basketball court sparked one of hip hop's most iconic friendships. Their bond went beyond music—it was a brotherhood forged in shared dreams, competitive spirit, and lyrical respect.From their days freestyling in the streets to forming the Full Eclipse Crew, Cuban Link and Big Pun sharpened each other's skills long before the world knew their names. Eventually, their talent caught the attention of Fat Joe, leading to Cuban's involvement with Terror Squad. But as fame rose, so did tensions. Cuban Link doesn't shy away from discussing the public fallout with Fat Joe, the internal politics of the industry, and the personal heartbreak that came after Pun's death.You'll also hear about:Cuban Link's early rap name (Phil Ski) and his musical evolutionWhy his dad's criminal past actually saved their family during the Mariel exodusHow growing up in Puerto Rico and then the Bronx influenced his voice as an MCHis academic life—graduating with an 85 GPA and even going to college—while living a double life in the streetsThe real story behind the verse he gave to Big Pun for “Still Not a Player”How he went from working overnight shifts to quitting on the spot to appear in his first major music videoThis episode is a time capsule of 90s hip hop, Latino culture in America, and the tension between art and industry. Cuban Link opens up about the joy of early success, the bitterness of betrayal, and the pride of knowing he never compromised his pen. From cracking jokes with Pun at funerals to being name-dropped in some of the era's most iconic verses, his stories are vivid, emotional, and unforgettable.Whether you grew up blasting Capital Punishment on your Walkman or are just discovering the depth of East Coast hip hop history, this episode is required listening. It's more than nostalgia—it's a meditation on what it means to stay true to your art, your story, and your roots.Want to support the show or get involved?Follow I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman wherever you get your podcasts.Leave a rating or review to help others discover the show.Connect with host Luis Guzman and stay updated on future episodes by visiting our official site or subscribing to our newsletter.For behind-the-scenes stories, guest updates, and episode extras, join our mailing list and follow us on all major platforms.This is not just another hip hop podcast.

We take a trip down to Havana with today's Wheel of Food! Sky tackles her fears and jumps (almost) directly into a sandwich with pork, mustard and pickles. Can she finish her bite before spitting it out? 

Actor Cesar Romero is probably best known for his role as The Joker in the 1960s Batman series, a portrayal that would later define the character and cast a large shadow over future screen adaptations. But well before Romero put on the green wig and red lipstick, he had a successful and varied career. He acted alongside the Rat Pack in Ocean’s Eleven and Carmen Miranda in Week-End in Havana. Most of his roles fell into the ‘Latin Lover’ stereotype, a mold he did not fit in his everyday life. Yet, despite on-screen limitations, Romero was still able to imbue each character with a sense of humanity. In the new biography Cesar Romero: The Joker is Wild, author Samuel Garza Bernstein goes in depth about Romero’s life pre-Hollywood, his career pre-Joker, and his 1980s renaissance as an A-list TV actor. On FilmWeek, Larry speaks with Garza Bernstein about Romero’s legacy.

We take a trip down to Havana with today's Wheel of Food! Sky tackles her fears and jumps (almost) directly into a sandwich with pork, mustard and pickles. Can she finish her bite before spitting it out? 

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

In the BDP studio we have Scott Anthony he shares his unbelievable journey from growing up poor in Chicago and leading a street gang at age 14, dealing cocaine in 80's which lead to him being fugitive on the run for five years while the DEA, FBI, and even Interpol were after him. By the 90's he became one of the biggest Cuban smugglers. Selling Cuban cigars to Michael Jordan, Richard Dent, Shaun Gayle, Donell Wolford so many others! Cigars didn't just become part of Scott's story, they changed it. For years, he lived inside a secret world few ever see, smuggling Cuban cigars into the U.S in the 90's, cutting deals in Havana, and moving boxes worth more than gold. After rebuilding his life with his fighter's mindset, he went on to build gyms, consult boxers, import fitness equipment worldwide. Now, he put his experiences on paper to write his first book Smoke: Confessions of a Cuban Cigar Smuggler, dropping this January!   Scott Anthony Website: https://www.scottanthonyog.com/ Instagram: @scottanthonyog    

⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---From 1880 to 1930, life on Earth was reshaped in ways previously inconceivable. Nowhere was this transformation more total than in Florida. In a single generation, a peninsula hardly charted since the days of Ponce de Leon was molded into a testing ground for new modes of living and capital accumulation. This episode of Gladio Free Europe drains the marshy mysteries of time to understand how Florida, once the most foreign of all the contiguous territories, became perhaps the most fundamentally American state of all.Jackson (@GraceCathedralPark) returns to the show for a deep exploration of modern Florida history, running from the noble failures of Reconstruction up through the reassertion of Confederate control and the establishment of a new society, a unique and twisted marriage of northern venality with southern barbarity. Gilded Age robber-barons like Henry Flagler took to the waters for pleasure and for profit, turning the remote Sunshine State into a secret garden for the idle rich. Railroads soon connected Florida to the American mainland north and south, bringing both well-heeled investors and threadbare farmers down the peninsula. Poor whites in particular saw Florida as a beacon of the New South, where a man could make his fortune in land sales or the orange boom. But these newcomers had little interest in sharing their wealth with the African American residents of Florida, some of whose ancestors had been working the swampy soil since the Spanish era.Florida after Reconstruction experienced some of the worst racial terror anywhere in the United States, with an exceptionally high rate of lynchings and episodes of mass violence at Ocoee and Rosewood, where white mobs ransacked black neighborhoods and murdered dozens upon dozens. Then the swamps, once a refuge for escaped slaves and Seminole Indians, were drained out to the sea, paved over to make room for America's newest feat of social engineering: the suburb.By the Roaring '20s, Florida's economy primarily revolved around real estate and tourism. Middle-class Americans flocked to the new neighborhoods that sprawled across the ruined wetlands, many of which were designed for cars rather than people, and most of which were racially segregated. Meanwhile significant numbers of Cuban immigarnts migrated to the Gulf port of Tampa, turning a small fishing town into a cigar city that rivaled Havana.Transformations along these lines happened across the United States, particularly in other Sun Belt regions such as Arizona and Southern California. But nowhere else were these changes so extreme, so rapid, and so destructive... not only to the natural landscape upon which these plains were laid, but on the residents pushed aside to built this petty-bourgeois fantasy. The state has been a theme park since decades before the Mouse spread his ears. In many ways, Florida is its own kind of twisted intentional community, and perhaps America's most successful utopian experiment.

An excellent story about murder and revenge in old Havana.Originally aired  March 7, 1946

Once war was declared in April, plans to send an American expeditionary force evolved. Once a Spanish flotilla was trapped in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, rather than striking at Havana, the decision was to send the force to Santiago. The size and complexity of the force grew from a projected 5,000 men to 25,000. The Corps commander, General William Shafter, was overwhelmed. Tampa was completely inadequate for a port and Shafter had few people he could call on to help prepare the force for embarkation. In May through early June, it proved difficult to properly assemble the force and its supplies, delaying their departure and impacting their performance. Take a listen!

The finance minister has new shoes, and tomorrow the new government will release its first budget. The pressure from the U.S. trade war is immense, and this is the government's first fiscal update in almost a year. Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising a “generational” budget – one that will reset Canada's economy. But the Liberals are three seats short of a majority – so they need to convince other MPs to agree on the path they set out.And: Fighting, fear, and famine. The tragic situation in Sudan.Also: If you've watched Yellowstone and dreamed of staying on a farm with cows, two Alberta ranchers may have what you're looking for. They are converting old grain bins into hotel rooms for people who want a taste of Canada's prairie life.Plus: Cuban workers in Canada forced to pay Havana most of their wages, New York City election, and more.

Následující příběh byl tak tajný, že o něm dlouho nic nevěděly dokonce ani československé tajné služby a vlastně dodnes toho o něm víme jen málo... Praha a Havana měly v dobách studené války výjimečné vztahy. Začaly se rozvíjet záhy po vítězství kubánské revoluce v lednu 1959. Už příští rok otevřelo Československo na Kubě svou ambasádu a zahájilo intenzivní styky s novou kubánskou vládou. Spolupráci zahájily také rozvědky obou zemí. V 60. letech rozjely akci s názvem Manuel.

We take a closer look at the online world known as the manosphere—a loose network of communities including incels, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), men's rights activists (MRAs), and pick-up artists (PUAs).These groups may look different on the surface, but they share a common core: resentment toward feminism, nostalgia for traditional masculinity, and a belief that men are the new victims of modern society. With guidance from researcher Havana Mohr-Ramirez, we unpack how these subcultures operate, where they overlap, and why they've become such powerful forces in shaping how young men see themselves and their place in the world.Drawing on insights from Laura Bates, author of Men Who Hate Women, and sociologist Ellis Cashmore, the episode examines whether the manosphere is an organized movement or something more elusive that still influences real attitudes, politics, and violence.This documentary episode goes beyond headlines and outrage to ask deeper questions about identity, belonging, and what happens when online spaces built around grievance start reshaping the world outside the screen.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

How did Ana Montes spy for Cuba for 17 years while surrounded by FBI agents, which included her own relatives? Investigative journalist Jim Popkin joins spy novelist Charlie Higson to reveal how the Pentagon's top Cuba analyst maintained her double life, and shared Thanksgiving dinner surrounded FBI family members while feeding America's military secrets to Havana. Having spent extensive time with Montes' own siblings, Popkin knows this remarkable story of deception inside out - from Montes' risky romance with an intelligence officer, to the psychological discipline that kept her hidden in plain sight. It's a tale that shook US intelligence to its core, wrapped around a family drama that still reverberates today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Em abril de 1961, um grupo de exilados cubanos anticastristas, treinados e apoiados pela CIA, tentou invadir Cuba pela Baía dos Porcos, no que ficou conhecido como uma das mais emblemáticas derrotas militares da Guerra Fria. A operação, lançada poucos meses após John F. Kennedy assumir a presidência dos Estados Unidos, pretendia derrubar o governo socialista de Fidel Castro, mas terminou em fracasso após apenas três dias de combates. As forças cubanas, preparadas e armadas pelo Bloco do Leste, rapidamente derrotaram os invasores, consolidando o poder da Revolução Cubana e ampliando as tensões entre Washington e Havana. Convidamos Vitor Soares para explicar como se deu a Invasão da Baía dos Porcos, seus desdobramentos políticos e o impacto desse episódio na consolidação do regime de Fidel Castro e no acirramento da Guerra Fria na América Latina.Financiamento coletivo do jogo Imperialismo: América CLICANDO AQUI⁠Adquira o curso História: da pesquisa à escrita por apenas R$ 49,90 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICANDO AQUI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adquira o curso A Operação Historiográfica para Michel de Certeau por apenas R$ 24,90 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICANDO AQUI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adquira o curso O ofício do historiador para Marc Bloch por apenas R$ 29,90 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICANDO AQUI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Colabore com nosso trabalho em ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠apoia.se/obrigahistoria⁠⁠⁠Calor chegando, hora de usar INSIDER!

On January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro and his ragtag army marched into Havana and proclaimed victory in the Cuban revolution. Much of the world knew Cuba primarily from its 1930 megahit "El Manicero" ("The Peanut Vendor") and from the mambo craze of the 1950's. After Castro came to power, the economic, political and cultural doors between Cuba and the U.S. would soon be shut. The doors opened briefly for tours by Cuban artists in the U.S. during the Carter and Clinton administrations. In this broadcast, we savor sounds from the pre-Revolutionary golden age of Cuban music that sets the scene for the international success of Cuban music. We illustrate how popular music in Africa and the Americas is not imaginable without the influence of Cuban music--copied and adapted on three continents. We'll hear the stories and rare recordings of such core styles as son - as well as luminaries like Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and the Sexteto Habanero; along with less well known artists.

Yale historian and memoirist Carlos Eire recounts his extraordinary journey from being an 11-year-old Cuban boy in Operation Peter Pan—sent to the United States to escape Fidel Castro's regime—to becoming a National Book Award–winning author and chaired professor at Yale. Eire discusses the painful separation from his family, the challenges of assimilation, and the lifelong tension between his Cuban and American identities, themes he explores in his acclaimed memoirs Waiting for Snow in Havana and Learning to Die in Miami. The conversation also delves into Eire's recent book They Flew: A History of the Impossible, which examines early modern testimonies of levitation, bilocation, and miracles, and how belief, culture, and skepticism shaped their reception. Eire also reflects on Cuban history, the failures of the Castro regime, the broader Hispanic experience in America, and the enduring clash between materialist skepticism and openness to mystery.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA podcast is one of the most influential artists working in the world right now, TANIA BRUGUERA! Hailed for her installation and participatory performance works that blur the boundaries between art and reality, Bruguera has dedicated her life to making work that explores freedom of expression, immigration, totalitarianism, and human rights. She has brought attention to the strict control of Cuban authorities by confronting visitors at Tate Modern with performer police officers on horseback, to setting up an open debate on an official-looking stage at the Havana Biennale to give people license to say what they want for one minute… Her work – often set in the framework of the theatre – has continued to push art to its limits and grant space for important and difficult conversations to take place. As she has said: “In a way, when you talk about politics, there is a lot of theatre involved. And what I'm trying to do with my art is how can we break the classic theatre where everything has already been decided, into a place where people can add something to the discourse”. Born in Cuba in 1968, Bruguera was raised during the era of Fidel Castro by a diplomat and minister father in the Castro government. She moved three times – to Paris, Lebanon, and Panama – before returning to Havana, where she graduated from the Escuela de Arte San Alejandro, and would go onto complete MFAs in painting and performance in Havana and Chicago. Since then, Bruguera has researched both the promise and failings of the Cuban Revolution, in performance pieces that allow her audience to unite and gather together and see and experience what lies behind governmental propaganda. Not only do these works speak universally, transcending time and place, but they are a great comment on the promises and failings of institutions and governments today. The founder of the first performance studies programme in Latin America, known as the Behaviour Art School, Bruguera is also Senior Lecturer in Media & Performance, Theater, Dance & Media at Harvard University, where we are recording with her today, and, as an artist I have admired for a very young age, I really can't wait to find out more. --- My new book, How To Live An Artful Life: https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-live-an-artful-life/katy-hessel/9781529155204 --- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part -7. Events happened from 1959 September to 1960 December - Critical role in establishing relationships with Russia - Close friend Camilo's mysterious death - Sabotage in ship docked in Havana port - Who is this Tamara Bunk? are covered in this episode.

HEADLINE: Nikita Khrushchev's Miscalculation and the Specter of Berlin GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii PlokhyBOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Nikita Khrushchev, a shrewd politician who succeeded Joseph Stalin, was widely misunderstood as a clown. Khrushchev expected to manipulate the young Jack Kennedy, having once offered campaign assistance. Khrushchev was surprised when Kennedy refused to compromise over the missile deployment. Both leaders were constantly concerned about Berlin; Khrushchev used the threat of escalation there to manipulate Kennedy. 1920 HAVANA

HEADLINE: Mikoyan Negotiates the "Crisis of November" with Fidel Castro GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: After the crisis resolution, Nikita Khrushchev rationalized his actions but faced internal criticism. Fidel Castro, who had advocated nuclear attack, felt insulted by the lack of consultation. Khrushchev sent Mikoyan to negotiate with Castro, who refused to allow inspections and sought to retain tactical nuclear weapons, leading to the "crisis of November." The eventual, humiliating Soviet withdrawal verified by US ships was cited in Khrushchev's later removal. 1899 HAVANA

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired Kansas City Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins sits down with journalist and author Rich Gazarik to explore a little-known corner of mob history—one that ties the Pittsburgh Mafia to Fidel Castro, stolen guns, and even the Kennedy assassination. Rich's latest book, Gun Smuggling, Castro, and the Pittsburgh Mafia, shines a spotlight on Sam Mannarino, a Pittsburgh mob captain under boss John LaRocca, who hatched a wild plan in the early 1960s: supply Fidel Castro with hundreds of stolen weapons in hopes of carving out a piece of Cuba's casino action. The scheme included an audacious plot to rip off 300 rifles from a National Guard armory in Ohio—an operation that quickly unraveled into chaos. From there, the conversation broadens into the Pittsburgh mob's stranglehold on its city, including political corruption, bribery, and intimidation that reached into the mayor's office and the police department. Rich recounts how Mannarino and his crew maintained a façade of respectability while ruling through violence and fear, leaving a lasting mark on Pittsburgh's civic life. Drawing on decades of investigative journalism and declassified JFK assassination files, Rich also connects the dots between the Pittsburgh Mafia and broader mob influence in the 1960s. We discuss how figures like Carlos Marcello and Santo Trafficante emerged in congressional investigations, feeding speculation that the Mafia's reach extended into Dallas on November 22, 1963. This episode uncovers a forgotten piece of organized crime history where local corruption, mob ambition, and Cold War politics collided. If you want to understand how Pittsburgh's underworld tied into national events, you won't want to miss this deep dive with Rich Gazarik.

I'm here in the studio of Gangland Wire, and I have a story that is kind of topical right now because there's a movie being made about November 1963. And this isn't exactly about Kennedy assassination, but it's all around the Kennedy assassination. And it's about mob guys having connections down in Cuba and with Castro and out of Pittsburgh of all places. Now, go figure that. You know, I always think of Tropicante down in Tampa, and you've got Marcello down in New Orleans. You've got Ardo up in Chicago, and you always think of them, Giancana, having those connections. Well, there was a Pittsburgh guy named Sam Mannarino who had extensive connections down in Cuba. So welcome, Rich Gazarek. [0:51] Thank you, Gary. Appreciate it. Good to have you. Rich, tell the guys the name of your book. I don't have to. I'd have to lean over here and read it. It's a little bit long. So tell the guys the name of your book and a little bit about what it's about. It's called Gun Smuggling, Castro, and the Pittsburgh Mafia. And it was a faction of the Pittsburgh Mafia. [1:11] John LaRocco was the godfather of the Pittsburgh Mom. Sam Mannarino was one of his captains. And Mannarino and his brother Kelly had a casino in Cuba, San Suu Kyi, outside of Havana. And they didn't do very well with it and they eventually sold it. And at the time, Fulgincia Batista was getting a little bit greedy and he was on the...

Part 2 of 2. Anomalous Health Incidents. AHI's. That is what the intelligence community refers to it as, but you likely know it as “The Havana Syndrome.” People reported feeling sick, dizzy, or even worse after experiencing a loud sonic-like wave in and around the U.S. Embassy in Cuba. The U.S. Intelligence Community says there is no evidence of any deliberate actions by a foreign actor. Is there more to the story?
