Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper are joined by special guest Jordi Cruyff for the first episode in a new series on Total Football: its origins, its legacy, and one of its key architects, Johan Cruyff.Who better than Jordi to reflect on his father's footballing influences and legacy? Beginning with his upbringing in Amsterdam, the hardship that shaped his ambition, and the profound influence of Rinus Michels on his development, Jordi also shares personal insight into Johan's personality: stubborn, curious, challenging and, of course, never afraid to go against the grain.The conversation explores Cruyff's football philosophy in detail - his attacking mindset, positional ideas, emphasis on angles and intelligence, and refusal to compromise on style. Jordi also retells the story of being named Jordi in Franco-era Spain, a moment that captured his father's defiant spirit and deep connection with Catalonia.Rob, Jonathan and Jordi look at Johan's transformational impact on Barcelona, the 1992 European Cup, his influence on Pep Guardiola, and how Cruyff's ideas continue to shape elite football - from La Masia to the modern Premier League.Rob and Jonathan will be back next week for a dive into the origins of Total Football itself; the first in a new four-part series.

Jordi Nieva, catedrático de derecho procesal de la Universidad de Barcelona asegura que la estrategia del empresario Julio Martínez de situar en el foco a José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero antes de declarar ante el juez Calama puede complicar la defensa del expresidente del Gobierno: "Dista mucho de ser un testimonio espontáneo". Apunta que ahora los jueces tienen la labor de "desgranar el grano de la paja" y a los implicados en demostrar su testimonio: "¿Qué pruebas tienen que aportar tanto el señor Julio Martínez como el presidente de Plus Ultra y el director financiero que también han remitido siendo escritos al juez? "Apunta a que se parece a la actuación de Víctor de Aldama durante el caso Mascarillas y cree que puede sentar un precedente peligroso: "En el futuro que esto vaya a ser una especie de moneda común y que se le haga mucho caso cuando tenga un trasfondo político, sea cual sea el partido implicado" y recuerda que la declaración responde a sus propios intereses de defensa.Escuchar audio

Transcript:Ca: En un matí clar de juliol, Barcelona s'estenia als peus del majestuós Castell de Montjuïc, amb les seves parets de pedra antiga i racons secretes.En: On a clear morning in July, Barcelona stretched out at the feet of the majestic Castell de Montjuïc, with its ancient stone walls and secret corners.Ca: El sol projectava una llum càlida, només interrompuda de tant en tant per algun núvol amenaçador a l'horitzó.En: The sun cast a warm light, only occasionally interrupted by some threatening cloud on the horizon.Ca: La Laia havia descobert feia poc un mapa vell entre les pertinences del seu avi.En: Laia had recently discovered an old map among her grandfather's belongings.Ca: "És real això?En: "Is this real?"Ca: ", es preguntava mentre el contemplava amb atenció.En: she wondered as she examined it closely.Ca: L'Oriol, el seu germà, mirava amb escepticisme.En: Oriol, her brother, looked on skeptically.Ca: "És només un vell paper, Laia.En: "It's just an old piece of paper, Laia.Ca: No podem perdre el temps amb aquestes fantasies," va dir.En: We can't waste time on these fantasies," he said.Ca: Però la Laia estava decidida.En: But Laia was determined.Ca: Va agafar el mapa amb fermesa i va convèncer l'Oriol i la seva amiga d'infantesa, la Núria, perquè l'acompanyessin.En: She grabbed the map firmly and convinced Oriol and her childhood friend, Núria, to join her.Ca: La Núria, sempre disposada per a una aventura, va somriure emocionada.En: Núria, always ready for an adventure, smiled excitedly.Ca: "Aquestes coses són el que fan la vida interessant, Oriol.En: "These things are what make life interesting, Oriol.Ca: Què tenim a perdre?En: What do we have to lose?"Ca: " Finalment, l'Oriol va acceptar, però només tenien un dia.En: Finally, Oriol agreed, but they only had one day.Ca: "Demà torno a la feina," va insistir mentre es posaven en camí cap al castell.En: "I go back to work tomorrow," he insisted as they set off towards the castle.Ca: El mapa era críptic i fragmentat.En: The map was cryptic and fragmented.Ca: Alguns detalls estaven desgastats pel temps, però després d'un llarg recorregut per passadissos estrets i escales empinades, van arribar a un punt crucial.En: Some details had been worn away by time, but after a long trek through narrow corridors and steep staircases, they reached a crucial point.Ca: "Crec que estem a prop," va dir la Laia emocionada.En: "I think we're close," said Laia excitedly.Ca: A mesura que arribava la tarda, un tro va retreçar en la llunyania, anunciant una tempesta imminent.En: As the afternoon progressed, a distant thunder rumbled, announcing an imminent storm.Ca: Van arribar a una petita sala amagada al cor del castell just mentre el cel començava a enfosquir-se.En: They arrived at a small hidden room at the heart of the castle just as the sky began to darken.Ca: La llanterna de la Núria va il·luminar una petita caixa tancada.En: Núria's lantern illuminated a small closed box.Ca: Amb tremolors d'expectació, la Laia la va obrir.En: With trembling anticipation, Laia opened it.Ca: No hi havia or ni joies, sinó vells records familiars i cartes plenes d'històries oblidades.En: There was no gold or jewels, but old family mementos and letters filled with forgotten stories.Ca: "Creus que això és el tresor?En: "Do you think this is the treasure?"Ca: " va preguntar en Oriol, una mica desconcertat.En: Oriol asked, somewhat puzzled.Ca: La Laia va somriure, sentint una connexió profunda amb el seu passat.En: Laia smiled, feeling a deep connection with her past.Ca: "És més del que esperava," va respondre.En: "It's more than I expected," she replied.Ca: A mida que llegien les lletres, van comprendre l'importància d'aquella descoberta: el veritable tresor eren els records i la història de la seva família.En: As they read the letters, they understood the importance of that discovery: the true treasure was the memories and the history of their family.Ca: Quan la tempesta va començar a caure suaument, amb gotes refrescants ballant a les parets del vell castell, tots tres sabien que havien trobat quelcom preciós.En: When the storm began to fall gently, with refreshing drops dancing on the walls of the old castle, all three knew they had found something precious.Ca: L'Oriol, encara més obert a les tradicions familiars, va dir: "Potser no és un paper tan vell i inútil després de tot.En: Oriol, now more open to family traditions, said, "Maybe it's not such an old and useless paper after all."Ca: " La Laia va riure, satisfeta d'haver seguit el seu cor.En: Laia laughed, satisfied for having followed her heart.Ca: El dia havia estat memorable, una prova que a vegades, les històries més valuoses es troben en els racons més inesperats i les connexions més simples.En: The day had been memorable, a testament that sometimes, the most valuable stories are found in the most unexpected corners and the simplest connections.

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley and Michael Goldin get into three stories making headlines across the STR industry. The conversation opens with Casago having sold nearly all of Vacasa's 32,000 units in just over a year, what the franchise model means for STR at scale, whether the Vacasa brand can become a real consumer platform, and how many units it actually takes to build a recognizable national STR brand. They also react to Airbnb paying $81.5 million for its first ever building in New York City, in the city where it is mostly banned, and close with Barcelona's pledge of not one tourist more and what the 2028 vacation rental ban means for operators watching overtourism regulation spread.

Medalla, banda nacional nacida en Barcelona en 2016, se ha convertido en uno de los nombres más estimulantes de la escena independiente actual. En este episodio cerramos temporada viajando a su universo y a ‘Duelo', un disco que combina géneros y referencias de forma tan natural que se siente como un auténtico soplo de aire fresco en el rock alternativo. Si tuviéramos que ponerle una etiqueta principal, hablaríamos de indie rock, pero Medalla huye de los tópicos del género en nuestro país: nada de grandilocuencia vacía, ni del festivaleo de coros repetitivos pensado solo para el estribillo fácil. Aquí hay una banda que rompe los cánones establecidos y firma una propuesta distinta, poderosa y muy **fresca**, construida a partir de numerosas influencias que se notan pero no imitan.

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Brandreth Canaley and Michael Goldin get into three stories making headlines across the STR industry. The conversation opens with Casago having sold nearly all of Vacasa's 32,000 units in just over a year, what the franchise model means for STR at scale, whether the Vacasa brand can become a real consumer platform, and how many units it actually takes to build a recognizable national STR brand. They also react to Airbnb paying $81.5 million for its first ever building in New York City, in the city where it is mostly banned, and close with Barcelona's pledge of not one tourist more and what the 2028 vacation rental ban means for operators watching overtourism regulation spread.

El Día del Amigo tiene sus orígenes en la famosa llegada del hombre a la luna y es que este fue el suceso elegido por Enrique Ernesto Febbraro, un locutor argentino miembro de la logia masónica, para intentar incentivar en el mundo una celebración que girase en torno a una virtud altruista como lo es la amistad sincera. El mismo día en el que el coronel de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, Edwin Aldrin hiciese su incursión a la luna junto con Neil Armstrong en el Apolo XI. La razón de esta decisión es que Aldrin también era masón y Febrano sentía mucha empatía hacia él. Así que se le ocurrió que una excelente manera de celebrar el logro de este hombre era conmemorar en la víspera de su viaje un día que tuviese como génesis un sentimiento humano limpio y puro, como lo es la amistad. 1535.- Conquista de Túnez por los tercios españoles de Carlos I y huída a Argel del corsario Barbarroja. 1876.- Alfonso XII firma la ley que anula el régimen foral de las vascongadas. 1904.- Parte desde Moscú hacia Vladivostok la primera locomotora del Transiberiano. 1921.- Trasladan los restos del Cid Campeador y su esposa, doña Jimena, del Ayuntamiento a la catedral de Burgos.

En este nuevo episodio de Se me Antoja, nos sentamos con cuatro chefs que acaban de recibir su primera Estrella Michelin: Enrique de Kamikaze (Barcelona), Cristina de Faralá (Granada), Roger de Simposio (Valencia) y Rubén Miralles de Vinaròs.Enrique fue el único restaurante de Barcelona en conseguirla este año — y se enteró mientras sacaba a los perros, sin saber cómo reaccionar. Su mujer reaccionó por él. Kamikaze: revolución silenciosa, siempre a más. Cristina se convirtió en la primera mujer en conseguir una estrella en Granada, con un tablao flamenco que durante años alejó al público local y que la estrella ha convertido en motivo de visita. Rubén Miralles coincidió en la gala con Yago, otro chef de Castellón — dos restaurantes de la misma provincia ganando estrella a la vez, algo histórico. Y Roger recibió el mail en el coche, aparcó, encendió las luces de emergencia y se puso a llorar.Hablan también de lo que nadie ve: los sábados con dos comensales a cero, seguir y seguir sin rendirse. Y de cómo durante las primeras semanas de la Dana, Roger y su equipo cerraron el restaurante y solo cocinaron para los afectados.Este pódcast cuenta con el patrocinio oficial de Kitchen Consult.============================¡Síguenos!

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Barcelona Interns: A Summer of Growth and Unexpected Alliances Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-07-19-07-38-19-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Durant un estiu calorós a la ciutat de Barcelona, Júlia es va endinsar en el món laboral com a becària en una oficina moderna situada al cor del districte financer.En: During a hot summer in the city of Barcelona, Júlia ventured into the working world as an intern in a modern office located in the heart of the financial district.Ca: Era un espai ampli amb grans finestres que deixaven entrar molta llum natural, un lloc on les persones es movien amb pressa entre reunions i taules compartides.En: It was a spacious area with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, a place where people moved quickly between meetings and shared desks.Ca: Júlia, estudiant universitària diligent, tenia un objectiu clar: impressionar a la seva supervisora, Laia.En: Júlia, a diligent university student, had a clear goal: to impress her supervisor, Laia.Ca: Laia era coneguda per ser exigent però justa, i Júlia desitjava més que res obtenir una bona recomanació o, amb sort, una oferta de treball per després de graduar-se.En: Laia was known for being demanding but fair, and Júlia wanted nothing more than to receive a good recommendation or, with luck, a job offer after graduating.Ca: Però, des de l'inici, va sentir que les expectatives eren altes.En: However, from the start, she felt that the expectations were high.Ca: Un altre becari, Pau, semblava tenir facilitat per tot.En: Another intern, Pau, seemed to have a knack for everything.Ca: Sempre acabava les tasques amb rapidesa i confiança, mentre que Júlia sovint es trobava atrapada entre documents i terminis.En: He always finished tasks quickly and confidently, while Júlia often found herself trapped between documents and deadlines.Ca: Aquesta situació la feia dubtar de les seves pròpies capacitats.En: This situation made her doubt her own abilities.Ca: Decidida a no rendir-se, Júlia va començar a quedar-se fins tard a l'oficina.En: Determined not to give up, Júlia began staying late at the office.Ca: Va treballar en un projecte exigent, revisant cada detall amb meticulositat.En: She worked on a demanding project, meticulously reviewing every detail.Ca: Però hi havia un moment en què necessitava ajuda.En: But there came a time when she needed help.Ca: Amb un cor bategant ràpidament per l'ansietat, Júlia va decidir demanar-li consell a Pau.En: With a heart beating rapidly from anxiety, Júlia decided to ask Pau for advice.Ca: Tot i el seu recel inicial, Pau es va mostrar sorprenentment obert i va compartir algunes estratègies que l'ajudaven a organitzar-se millor.En: Despite her initial reluctance, Pau was surprisingly open and shared some strategies that helped him organize better.Ca: Amb el temps, va arribar el dia d'una presentació important davant de tot l'equip.En: In time, the day of an important presentation in front of the entire team arrived.Ca: Júlia es va preparar amb molta cura.En: Júlia prepared herself very carefully.Ca: Quan va ser el seu torn, va exposar la seva investigació i propostes amb claredat i creativitat.En: When it was her turn, she presented her research and proposals with clarity and creativity.Ca: Laia, així com altres membres de l'equip, van quedar impressionats.En: Laia, as well as other team members, were impressed.Ca: Tanmateix, en un gir inesperat, Pau va cometre errors durant la seva presentació.En: However, in an unexpected twist, Pau made mistakes during his presentation.Ca: Va ser llavors quan es va fer evident que la seva aparent confiança amagava inseguretats.En: It was then that it became clear that his apparent confidence hid insecurities.Ca: Després de la sessió, Laia va dedicar unes paraules a Júlia, lloant el seu treball dur i el seu talent.En: After the session, Laia dedicated a few words to Júlia, praising her hard work and talent.Ca: Li va prometre recomanacions per a futures oportunitats laborals.En: She promised her recommendations for future job opportunities.Ca: Pau, d'altra banda, va entendre que no sempre podia fer-ho tot sol i va acceptar un projecte menys crític, valorant la importància del treball en equip.En: Pau, on the other hand, realized that he couldn't always do everything alone and accepted a less critical project, appreciating the importance of teamwork.Ca: A mesura que l'estiu arribava al seu final, Júlia havia guanyat confiança en les seves capacitats i havia après el valor de demanar ajuda quan era necessari.En: As the summer came to a close, Júlia had gained confidence in her abilities and had learned the value of asking for help when needed.Ca: Pau va començar a reconèixer els seus temors i va adoptar un enfocament més col·laboratiu.En: Pau began to recognize his fears and adopted a more collaborative approach.Ca: Aquell estiu a l'oficina va ser un temps de creixement i aprenentatge per a tots dos.En: That summer in the office was a time of growth and learning for both of them.

Story Transcript:Ca: A sota dels turons ondulats de Catalunya, allà on les flors ballen al ritme del vent suau, es troba la granja de flors de la família de Pere.En: Beneath the rolling hills of Catalunya, where the flowers dance to the rhythm of the gentle wind, lies the flower farm of Pere's family.Ca: Les flors brillen, com un mar de colors sota el sol d'estiu.En: The flowers shine like a sea of colors under the summer sun.Ca: Avui, el poble està animat pel mercat artesanal local, un lloc perfecte per evocar el passat i trobar el regal especial que Pere vol per a la seva mare.En: Today, the village is buzzing with the local artisan market, a perfect place to evoke the past and find the special gift that Pere wants for his mother.Ca: Pere havia tornat al poble després d'anys a Barcelona.En: Pere had returned to the village after years in Barcelona.Ca: A la ciutat, ho tenia tot, però en el seu cor hi faltava alguna cosa.En: In the city, he had everything, but something was missing in his heart.Ca: Volia re-connectar amb les seves arrels.En: He wanted to reconnect with his roots.Ca: La Festa Major era la ocasió perfecta, però primer, havia de trobar un regal adequat.En: The Festa Major was the perfect occasion, but first, he had to find a suitable gift.Ca: El mercat estava ple de vida.En: The market was full of life.Ca: Les melodies de la festa vibraven al fons, mentre les parades lluïen objectes artesanals, cada un amb la seva història.En: The melodies of the festival vibrated in the background, while the stalls shone with handmade crafts, each with its own story.Ca: Tot i l'alegria del moment, Pere se sentia aclaparat per la quantitat d'opcions.En: Despite the happiness of the moment, Pere felt overwhelmed by the number of options.Ca: Després d'una estona, va veure Montserrat, una amiga de l'adolescència i artesana respectada.En: After a while, he saw Montserrat, a friend from adolescence and a respected artisan.Ca: “Montserrat, necessito la teva ajuda”, li va dir.En: "Montserrat, I need your help," he said to her.Ca: “Busco un regal que sigui especial per la meva mare.En: "I'm looking for a gift that is special for my mother.Ca: Algo que representi la nostra terra i cultura.En: Something that represents our land and culture."Ca: ”Montserrat va somriure.En: Montserrat smiled.Ca: “Pere, jo conec algú que pot tenir exactament el que busques.En: "Pere, I know someone who might have exactly what you're looking for.Ca: Es diu Jordi i fa escultures amb flors.En: His name is Jordi and he makes sculptures with flowers.Ca: Els seus treballs parlen al cor.En: His works speak to the heart."Ca: ” Li va indicar on trobar la parada de Jordi.En: She pointed him to where Jordi's stall was.Ca: Pere va buscar entre la multitud fins que va trobar Jordi.En: Pere searched through the crowd until he found Jordi.Ca: Les escultures de flors eren espectaculars: roses vermelles i lavanda, flors silvestres que recordaven els paisatges catalans.En: The flower sculptures were spectacular: red roses and lavender, wildflowers that reminded him of the Catalan landscapes.Ca: Una peça en particular va captar la seva atenció.En: One piece in particular caught his attention.Ca: Era una escultura feta de flors silvestres, cada pètal semblava explicar una història antiga, un tros de la seva pròpia història.En: It was a sculpture made of wildflowers, each petal seemed to tell an ancient story, a piece of his own history.Ca: Va comprar l'escultura i, amb ella embolicada amb cura, es va unir a la gent del poble mentre la Festa Major començava.En: He bought the sculpture and, with it carefully wrapped, he joined the villagers as the Festa Major began.Ca: Les llums es van encendre, les rialles omplien l'aire i la seva mare el va rebre amb un somriure ampli.En: The lights turned on, laughter filled the air, and his mother greeted him with a broad smile.Ca: Quan li va oferir el regal, ella va quedar emocionada.En: When he offered her the gift, she was moved.Ca: “És bell, Pere.En: "It's beautiful, Pere.Ca: Em recorda a quan tu eres un nen i corries per aquests camps.En: It reminds me of when you were a child and ran through these fields."Ca: ” Pere va somriure, o encara més, va sentir una calidesa al cor que havia buscat durant temps.En: Pere smiled, or even more, felt a warmth in his heart that he had sought for a long time.Ca: Finalment, mentre la música sonava de fons i les estrelles brillaven per sobre, Pere va comprendre que les seves arrels no estaven només en la terra, sinó també en aquests petits, però significatius moments de connexió.En: Finally, as the music played in the background and the stars shone above, Pere understood that his roots were not just in the land, but also in these small, yet significant moments of connection.Ca: El seu cor era, ara sí, complet.En: His heart was, now indeed, complete.

The World Cup final kicks off tomorrow, and we're breaking it all down for you on our Spain-Argentina preview! We begin revisiting each nation's World Cup pasts and what's at stake for each in the historical pantheon. We also discuss the country's relationships to one another. Though they've only previously played once at a World Cup, they are steeped in shared culture and footballing history, including Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, and of course, Lionel Messi (yes, we talk about the bathing photo). Then we move on to discuss the unique tactical battle between two sides that operate very differently. Can Argentina affect Spain's metronomic midfield? How will Spain defend Messi? Can Argentina challenge Spain's immaculate defensive record? Additionally, we tackle the key personnel and wonder if Argentina is still underrated – as crazy as that sounds – before picking a combined 11 between the teams. Cheers to us all! Chapters: 00:00 – the start 03:17 – Spain & Argentina's World Cup histories 13:02 – footballing connections between the countries 20:40 – tactical profiles & keys to the game 39:36 – combined 11 51:30 – predictions

No Linha de Passe desta sexta-feira (17), nossos comentaristas fazem um comparativo entre Lionel Messi e Lamine Yamal, ambos formados nas categorias de base do Barcelona. Além disso, se a Argentina for campeã da Copa, Messi ultrapassará Pelé como maior de todos os tempos? Por fim, Renata Ruel fala sobre as arbitragens polêmicas no Mundial. Vem com a gente!

Em uma discreta rua de West Hollywood, onde apenas 14 clientes por noite conseguem um lugar à mesa, uma brasileira está na cozinha de um dos restaurantes mais exclusivos do mundo. O Somni, comandado pelo chef catalão Aitor Zabala, conquistou três estrelas Michelin apenas sete meses após a inauguração – e todas de uma vez, um feito raríssimo e histórico na gastronomia mundial. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles Entre os cozinheiros responsáveis por manter esse alto padrão, está a capixaba Brenda Liz Rocha Vieira, de apenas 30 anos. Sua história revela não apenas o caminho de uma brasileira até um dos endereços mais cobiçados da alta gastronomia, mas também como a profissão de chef ganhou uma nova dimensão nas últimas décadas. Há pouco mais de 20 anos, cursar Gastronomia ainda era visto no Brasil como uma escolha pouco convencional. Hoje, impulsionada por escolas especializadas, reality shows e pelo reconhecimento internacional da culinária brasileira, a profissão passou a atrair jovens que enxergam na cozinha uma carreira de excelência. "Eu acho que mudou, sim. Eu acho que tem um pouco mais de respeito pela profissão. Antes, era a segunda, terceira opção de carreira", diz a chef. A paixão pela cozinha, ou a vontade de comer bem, veio muito antes das estrelas Michelin entrarem no seu horizonte. "Eu sempre tive muita curiosidade na cozinha, desde pequena. Cresci com a minha avó, e ela é uma cozinheira muito boa. Eu mudei para a casa da minha mãe quando era adolescente e ela não cozinhava. Eu comecei a sentir muita falta da comida da minha avó e quis muito aprender a cozinhar." Brenda formou-se em Gastronomia em Vila Velha (ES) e começou a carreira em restaurantes brasileiros até seguir para o exterior, onde transformou cada país por onde passou em uma etapa de aprendizado. "Eu sempre busquei trabalhar em restaurantes que tenham alguma coisa que eu não sei e preciso aprender", conta. Essa busca a levou para o Canadá e também para Barcelona, onde trabalhou em restaurantes estrelados. Foi ali que começou a acompanhar o trabalho de Aitor Zabala, um dos nomes mais respeitados da gastronomia espanhola. Quando soube que o chef reabriria o Somni em Los Angeles, decidiu criar a própria oportunidade: comprou passagem e pediu para passar um dia trabalhando no local para conhecer a cozinha. Brenda insistiu por uma vaga e o que não imaginava era que o chef também enxergaria nela o perfil que procurava. Segundo Zabala, experiência e talento podem ser adquiridos ao longo da carreira, mas o que ele considera indispensável é outra característica: “atitude”, contou o badalado chef espanhol. Brenda mostrou que tem esse ingrediente e o chef trouxe a brasileira para o seu elenco. Disciplina por trás das três estrelas Ao contrário do glamour que muitos imaginam, trabalhar em um restaurante três estrelas Michelin significa viver uma rotina rígida de disciplina constante. Em Los Angeles – cidade cheia de estrelas do cinema –, há apenas dois restaurantes que ostentam o topo do guia francês, que leva em conta a qualidade dos ingredientes, o domínio das técnicas culinárias, harmonia e equilíbrio dos sabores, a personalidade do chef e a consistência ao longo do tempo. Para conseguir o feito, o caminho é árduo e para manter a constelação, é necessário rigor e precisão absoluta. "O que eu quero muito é treinar o que você tem que aprender como profissional para ter um restaurante desse nível. O que eu vejo todo dia é muita disciplina, foco e consistência. Todos os dias, nos mínimos detalhes, são milhares de detalhes. Aqui, tudo é feito todos os dias. Nada congelado. Nada cortado antes. Nada. Tudo chega todos os dias, tudo é feito todos os dias". Conseguir uma mesa no Somni não é fácil. O restaurante, que recebe clientes do mundo inteiro, possui apenas 14 lugares e as reservas costumam se esgotar rapidamente. A clientela é confidencial, mas já passaram pelo local Selena Gomez, Kanye West e Aaron Paul, astro de Breaking Bad. A cozinha mistura raízes espanholas e catalãs com ingredientes californianos e técnicas francesas, sempre em um menu altamente criativo. Para Brenda, trabalhar nesse nível também significa cozinhar para pessoas que conhecem profundamente gastronomia e que investem muito na experiência. O sonho continua sendo brasileiro Mesmo construindo uma carreira internacional entre Canadá, Espanha e Estados Unidos, Brenda nunca deixou de pensar na cozinha brasileira. Ela já levou inspirações nacionais para restaurantes onde trabalhou anteriormente, mas ainda não teve o gostinho de trazê-las para Hollywood. Embora nunca tenha visitado o Brasil, Aitor Zabala demonstra curiosidade pela culinária do país. Ele admite à RFI que conhece apenas os pratos mais tradicionais, mas acredita que ainda há muito a descobrir. O chef conta que já conversa com Brenda sobre futuras colaborações com sabores brasileiros. Mas, por enquanto, o projeto dele é seguir com as estrelas conquistadas com sua própria alquimia. Enquanto isso, Brenda vai descobrindo e aproveitando esse brilho, e aperfeiçoa a receita do seu próprio sonho: aprender entre os melhores do mundo para, um dia, colocar a alta gastronomia brasileira ainda mais em evidência. "Eu quero abrir um restaurante de comida brasileira, um fine dining brasileiro. Algo que remeta ao Brasil, à minha trajetória, a tudo que aprendi, mas a minha comida é brasileira."

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 16, 2026. We open with a story that should trigger Logan Act investigations — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch has revealed that New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani attempted to arrange a secret meeting with the Iranian government while the United States is actively engaged in military operations against Iran. We walk through the constitutional principle at stake: the United States speaks with one voice in foreign affairs, that voice belongs to the federal government, and a city mayor has no more authority to conduct foreign policy than he has to declare war. We also connect it to a pattern — from Obama's hot mic moment with Medvedev to John Kerry's shadow diplomacy during Trump's first term — of people who want the power of the presidency without the accountability of holding it. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. launched strikes against Iran for the sixth consecutive day — targeting air defenses, rocket and drone facilities, and ports, with reports of 35 killed and 300 wounded in Iran, and a blockade-running ship disabled after repeated warnings. Then President Trump fired a newly appointed federal prosecutor in Seattle less than an hour into his first day on the job — a position filled by federal judges after Democrat Senate obstruction left the slot unconfirmed for more than 120 days. And a former Marine and congressional candidate in Florida was arrested for posting videos to social media calling for the murder of President Trump, describing him as the Antichrist, and advising what weapons and shooting patterns should be used — the latest of more than 20 documented assassination plots against the president, by far the most in American history. We also cover the Trump administration restoring the public charge rule — requiring that applicants for lawful permanent residence demonstrate they can support themselves without depending on government assistance. We explain why this was standard immigration practice throughout most of American history, why it is the policy of virtually every developed nation on earth, and why the most compassionate thing you can say to someone who wants to become an American is that we believe you can make it here on your own. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to a podcast host who said she doesn't trust any mother who wants to be with her children all day — and that homeschooling is weird. Teri's answer is simple and devastating: children are not a burden. They are a reward from God, an inheritance, arrows that parents are called to form and launch into the world for impact. The proof showed up at a stoplight on the way to the studio — Psalm 127, in a bumper sticker, on a car Teri had never seen before, minutes before a segment she didn't know she'd be having. She calls it a God thing. We do too. We dig deep into Senator Elissa Slotkin's remarks at a Michigan town hall — where she explained her opposition to the SAVE Act by saying it would make it impossible for any Democrat to win any election anywhere. We play the clip. We let her words sit. And we point out that if requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is what makes Democrats lose elections, Senator Slotkin has just told you everything you need to know about who has been voting in Democratic primaries. The SAVE Act doesn't prevent anyone who is legally entitled to vote from voting. It just makes sure people who aren't legally entitled to vote don't get to cancel out the votes of those who are. We also cover Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego and reports that he had relationships with multiple congressional staffers before his marriage — and use it to return to the core principle that power causes brain damage. The part of the brain that processes empathy is measurably suppressed in people who accumulate power and believe they deserve it. The only people largely immune to this effect are those who genuinely believe they don't deserve the power they have. Public office is a public trust — and the people underneath you in that office are not perks of the position. We also cover a White House teleprompter technician who allegedly fed Trump's speech content into prediction markets before the speeches were delivered — trading on insider access to profit from words she was trusted to keep confidential. Every position of trust comes with an obligation of restraint. Some people just haven't figured that out yet. For our Bright Spot, the New York Times ran a piece headlined Mom, Dad, I Want to Be a Welder — following young Americans in their twenties who had the grades for college, chose trade school instead, and are thriving. Trade school enrollment is up nearly 20% since 2020. Starting salaries for skilled tradespeople now beat many college-educated entry-level positions. And a 23-year-old welder from Arkansas named LaDonna Glass said it best — she felt like if she didn't go to college she would be a failure. She isn't. We close with Earl Nightingale's definition of success — the progressive realization of a worthy goal — and note that success begins the moment you commit to something worthy of your time, your talents, and your character. And we close with a 2007 photograph taken at a Barcelona charity raffle — a baby boy named Lamin Yamal posing with a young Argentine footballer named Lionel Messi. Eighteen years later, Lamin Yamal is on the Spanish World Cup team and Messi is considered the greatest of all time — and the two people in that photo are about to face each other in the World Cup final. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
