Over the last thirty years, Latin America has undergone an unprecedented wave of reparations targeting victims of political violence during military regimes, Indigenous and Afro-Latin groups affected by historical processes of dispossession, and citizens suffering from environmental harm. Reparations prompt us to face uncomfortable pasts and in so doing, create conditions for imagination of multiple futures. In representing the experiences and hopes of those affected by political violence in El Salvador and Argentina, environmental harm in Guatemala and Peru, and colonial dispossession in Chile and Bolivia, reparations are built upon conflictive forms of future imagination, translation of harm and new forms of belonging to and beyond the nation state, which reifies as much as challenges state authority over the promises of actual repair. In today's Latin American political debate, hopes for justice and democracy remain anchored to the question of the kinds of future that can be imagined through and after reparation. Piergiorgio Di Giminiani, Helene Risør, and Karine Vanthuyne discuss their edited volume, The Futures of Reparations in Latin America: Imagination, Translation, and Belonging (Rutgers UP, 2026) Piergiorgio Di Giminiani is an associate professor in anthropology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He is the aut0hor of Sentient Lands: Indigeneity, Property, and Political Imagination in Neoliberal Chile and co-editor of Theorizing Relations in Indigenous South America. Helene Risør is a teaching associate professor in anthropology and visiting research fellow at Copenhagen University.

Katie Spotz is an endurance athlete, author, and humanitarian. Once a self-described "benchwarmer," Katie discovered that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. Since then, her adventures—from rowing the Atlantic Ocean solo to running ultramarathons across the United States—have helped bring clean water to more than 50,000 people. Katie will launch on a 10,000-mile solo row across the Pacific Ocean—pushing for the record for the longest nonstop ocean row by a woman and aiming to become the first American woman to row the Pacific solo. This 10,000-mile world-record attempt is to help provide clean water to 100,000 people! She takes off in December from Lima, Peru!   "She used her raw courage to row the Atlantic, all alone, for 70 days—to make sure people who will never know her name have clean water to drink." — Diane Sawyer, ABC News Katie's Instagram Katie's Facebook Page Katie's Website Here Donate to Katie's Mission Here _________________________________ Follow me on my Instagram or Facebook Podcast Facebook page here Check out KristiCapel.com Email: Kristicapelpodcast@gmail.com  

This week, Claudia Salazar, an award-winning Peruvian Writer, literary critic, and scholar, joins us on BG Ideas. She has a PhD in Latin American Literature from New York University and is recognized internationally for her contributions both as a novelist and as a cultural critic. In this episode, we discuss how emotion can provoke a different way of understanding, conversations surrounding gender and sexuality in Peru and Latin America, and the process of navigating a novel through different translations. She wanted to find languages that addressed the violence of the war in Peru during the 1980s without reproducing violence and to center the experience of women during this time. Listen as Claudia Salazar reminds us of the many ways readers can understand a text, showing how meaning is constantly being formed, shaped, and contested. If you are interested in learning about Claudia Salazar's book Blood of the Dawn, click here and follow her on Instagram @clausalazarjimenez. A transcript for this episode can be found here.

Stand-up comedian and philosopher Myq Kaplan has built a successful career exploring the human condition, but navigating his own underlying anxiety presents a very different challenge. He knows how to handle recreational and spiritual psychedelic trips in the jungles of Peru, but the leap to "crossing the streams" and using these substances in a formal, clinical therapeutic setting feels uncertain. On this episode: How To!'s Mike Pesca brings on Dr. Will Van Derveer, a veteran psychiatrist, co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and author of Psychedelic Therapy. Dr. Will Van Derveer offers Myq guidance on using medicines like ketamine and psilocybin to "shake the snow globe" of the brain's default mode network, the importance of treating the therapy like a psychological tow truck rather than a permanent ride—and why you really need to stop bothering the Sonoran Desert toads.  Executive Producer Corey Wara Edited by Geoff Craig Booking by Ben Astaire Do you have a burning question or a problem you need help with?

In this episode, David sits down in Nashville with archaeologist Aaron Deter-Wolf, a leading researcher in the archaeology of tattooing and co-editor of Ancient Ink: The Archaeology of Tattooing. They explore how tattoos function as deep cultural expressions across human societies, from Ötzi the Iceman's 5,000-year-old tattoos to newly documented tattooed mummies in Peru. The conversation dives into experimental archaeology, ancient tattoo tools made from bone and stone, and what tattoos can reveal about identity, belief, and social structure in the past. Together they discuss how tattoo traditions changed under empires, how archaeologists identify tattooing in the archaeological record, and why body modification may be one of humanity's oldest cultural universals.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” we welcome guest host Steve Mantle, founder and CEO of Innov8.ag and USHBC's partner in the BerrySmart Field program, who's joined by Charlie Andersen, CEO and founder of Burro, and Noe Toribio, customer success manager at Burro. Together, they discuss on-farm efficiency potential using autonomous robotics. They share the impact this technology can have on labor costs for producers and how that may affect the agriculture industry.“There's a lot of areas in agriculture and beyond where there are no robots today and people are moving around doing work that requires movement, plus perception, plus manipulation … and inspecting things on sites and doing data capture. They're all things where there's a real need for robots, but the way to get them going isn't to try to do it all at once. It's to do it in a stepped or phased approach, which is kind of the genesis of Burro.” – Charlie AndersenTopics covered include: An introduction to Anderson and Toribio, and their work. The ideas that led to the creation of Burro, and the impact autonomous tractors can have for producers.An exploration of the evolution of autonomous tractors and what the future may hold.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

It's Thursday, March 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal's new government less likely to feature Hindu nationalists Christians in Nepal are cautiously hopeful after recent elections in the Asian country located north of India and which features the Himalayan Mountains including Mount Everest. Youth-led protests toppled the government last year. The new government is poised to feature less Hindu-nationalist parties. Hindu extremists drive most persecution of Christians in Nepal.  One pastor in the country told International Christian Concern, “The [election] results are unexpected. Though the outcome is confusing, we remain hopeful, especially as there appears to be a decline in the influence of pro-Hindu nationalist parties.”  Franklin Graham preached to 90,000 in Lima, Peru Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Christ with over 90,000 people in Lima, Peru over the weekend.  Listen. GRAHAM: “The Bible says, ‘All we, like sheep, have gone astray. Each has turned to his own way.' But man has a problem. That problem is called sin. “Sin is a barrier. It's a wall between you and God, and sin has to be atoned, and the only way is through the shed blood of Jesus, Christ on the cross. “Without Jesus, you have no hope. You cannot save yourself, only the blood of Jesus. “You have a choice tonight.  Jesus said, ‘I'll never leave you nor forsake you.' Will you come to Him tonight?” Thousands responded to the message during the evangelical event. Peru is a predominantly Catholic country. However, the number of Evangelicals has been growing rapidly in the South American country in recent years.  Chile is first country to eliminate leprosy in the Americas Chile recently became the first country in the Americas to officially eliminate leprosy.  The World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization verified the achievement. Chile has not reported any locally acquired cases of the disease for over 30 years.  The World Health Organization noted, “Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease … primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract mucosa, and eyes. If untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage, disabilities, and social stigma.” U.S. and Ecuador team up to kick drug cartels out The United States and Ecuador launched joint military operations against drug cartels in the South American country last week.  Over a dozen other Latin American countries also plan to cooperate with the U.S. military against drug smuggling operations. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed these countries during the Shield of Americas Summit in Florida on Saturday. Listen.  HEGSETH: “We don't have to live with communities flooded with drugs or violence or cartels and gangs. We can seal our border, and we have to for our citizens. “We share a hemisphere and geography. We share cultures, Western Christian civilization. We share these things together. We have to have the courage to defend it. We have a Commander-in-Chief in our country who's set that compass heading.” New poll: Don't need to believe in God to be moral Pew Research reports fewer people around the world believe it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. A majority of adults in the United States, Canada, and Europe say it's not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values. People in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are much more likely to say belief in God is necessary for morality.  In the U.S., 31% of adults say it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. That's down from 42% in 2014. Wyoming passes Heartbeat bill Wyoming became the latest state to enact a fetal heartbeat law. Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed the Human Heartbeat Act into law on Monday. This makes Wyoming the fifth state to ban abortions on babies at about six weeks of pregnancy.  If a heartbeat is detected, the baby must be protected. Liberty Counsel noted, “The ‘Human Heartbeat Act' bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected. However, it does include exceptions for medical emergencies when the mother's life is in danger, or her health is at risk of serious impairment. The law does not include exceptions for rape or incest.” John Newton, former slave ship captain, wrote “Amazing Grace” And finally, this week is the anniversary of John Newton's conversion.  Newton was a captain of slave ships in his early life. While at sea, a severe storm brought him to his spiritual senses. This led to his conversion on March 10, 1748. Newton went on to marry, become a pastor, and work to end the slave trade. Newton is well known for his hymns. Each week he would write a hymn to a familiar tune. Of his hundreds of hymns, he is especially remembered for “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds!” and “Amazing Grace.” WINTLEY PHIPPS: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.” That was sung by Wintley Phipps. Newton wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone which says, “Once an infidel … was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ preserved, restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.” Reminds me of the Apostle Paul. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

This episode features entrepreneur and real estate investor Dave Allred sharing the deeply personal story behind his success. While Dave has achieved financial freedom and built a large real estate investment firm, the conversation focuses far more on mindset, adversity, family, and legacy.Dave reflects on a difficult childhood growing up in a low-income family with instability and conflict at home. After running away at 17, he learned to rely on resilience, hard work, and intentional personal development. Experiences like serving a mission in Peru, working in door-to-door sales, and mentorship from key figures helped him build confidence and develop leadership skills.The conversation explores how adversity can become a powerful source of growth when reframed with gratitude and responsibility rather than victimhood. Dave emphasizes becoming “comfortable being uncomfortable,” taking ownership of life decisions, and intentionally designing the life you want.Beyond financial success, Dave highlights his real priorities: being a present father, strengthening family culture, breaking generational trauma, and building a legacy that positively impacts future generations.The episode also dives into practical frameworks Dave uses in life, including his “Lifestyle Design” system, family principles, entrepreneurship lessons for his kids, and his “Financial Freedom Equation.” Ultimately, the discussion centers on creating a meaningful life through discipline, intentionality, service, gratitude, and strong relationships.Key Takeaways1. Adversity Can Be a GiftDave attributes much of his growth to the hardships he faced growing up. Difficult experiences forced him to develop resilience and the ability to embrace discomfort. 2. Life Happens For You, Not To YouDave emphasizes taking ownership of life outcomes. Instead of blaming circumstances, he reframes challenges as opportunities for growth.3. Discipline Creates FreedomA major philosophy Dave shares is that structure and discipline actually lead to greater freedom, not less.4. Lifestyle DesignAt age 30, Dave created a personal “Life Design” framework 5. Breaking Generational PatternsDave intentionally focuses on resetting the standard for future generations by:Addressing family traumaTeaching financial literacyModeling strong relationshipsEncouraging entrepreneurship in his kids6. Money Does Not Equal HappinessDave explains that beyond a certain point, more money doesn't produce greater fulfillment. Instead, money is best viewed as a tool for:FreedomImpactServiceOpportunitiesQuality of life7. Teach Kids to Produce ValueDave teaches his children that:“Nothing is given. Everything is earned.”All four of his kids started their own businesses and participate in a family foundation that donates to causes they care about.8. The Power of Mentorship & Speaking PossibilityDave credits several mentors who believed in him early and “spoke possibility” into his life when he couldn't see it himself.9. Healing Through VulnerabilityOne of the most emotional parts of the episode focuses on Dave processing childhood trauma, forgiving his parents, and capturing his father's legacy story before his health declines.10. Gratitude Changes PerspectiveDave emphasizes gratitude as one of the most powerful mindset shifts to overcome hardship and maintain abundance thinking.CONNECT WITH DAVE ALLRED*Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/daveallred/ *Website - https://www.daveallred.com/ LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE YOUR LIFE LEGACY PODCAST*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-life-legacy-podcast/id1740167449 *Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Cd8XFP59Ar864GcaoEDxW *YouTube Podcasts - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast CONNECT WITH THE LIFE LEGACY PODCAST*Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifelegacypodcast/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lifelegacypodcast *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast

In an era of deepening polarization, Sari Hanafi examines how social scientists often reproduce the very injustices they seek to challenge, taking entrenched positions while dismissing alternative perspectives. He introduces the concept of symbolic liberalism - a contradiction in which individuals espouse classical liberal principles, yet act in politically illiberal ways. This, he argues, has exacerbated the pathologies of late modernity: authoritarianism, economic precarity, and environmental destruction, now all unfolding in a climate where reasonable debate seems increasingly impossible. Examining key flashpoints of contemporary polarization, Hanafi critiques how symbolic liberalism inflates the universality of rights while simultaneously narrowing the space for dialogue. Rather than this rigid ideological stance, he calls for a dialogical turn, a renewed public sphere where diverse conceptions of the ‘common good' engage in genuine conversation. Blending political and moral philosophy with sociological critique, Hanafi offers a path forward in an age when intellectual exchange is more necessary, yet also more imperilled, than ever. Against Symbolic Liberalism: A Plea for Dialogical Sociology (Liverpool UP, 2025) is not just a critique of polarization but a critical and impassioned call to reclaim meaningful intellectual discourse. Sari Hanafi is a Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Studies at the American University of Beirut. He served as President of the International Sociological Association (2018–23) and Vice President of the Arab Council for Social Sciences (2015–16). An International Fellow of the British Academy, he was also the Editor of Idafat: The Arab Journal of Sociology (2007–22). His contributions to the field have been recognized with some of the Arab world's most prestigious academic awards, including the Abdelhamid Shouman Award (2014) and the Kuwait Award for Social Science (2015). In 2019, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the National University of San Marcos, Peru. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Most orthodontists think the only path to freedom is scale. Bigger practice. More chairs. More locations. More production.Dr. Luis Gutierrez proves that's simply not true.Luis isn't running a $20M operation. He doesn't work five days a week. He doesn't grind 60-hour weeks. Instead, he planted intentional seeds early — paid off nearly $800,000 in student debt aggressively, invested relentlessly in CE, chose a smaller community, kept overhead disciplined, and built systems that support the life he wanted.And now? He's harvesting.In this episode, Luis shares how he went from dental school in Peru to rebuilding his career in the U.S., opening a startup in a small New Mexico town, and creating a lifestyle most orthodontists only talk about. This isn't about hype. It's about planning. It's about discipline. And it's about designing your practice around your life — not the other way around.If you're early in your career… overwhelmed by debt… or wondering whether private practice is still worth it — this episode will reset your mindset.Quotes“Failure to plan is planning to fail.” — Dr. Luis Gutierrez“It's so much fun to harvest what you planted years ago.” — Dr. Luis GutierrezKey TakeawaysWhy lifestyle design — not production numbers — is the real goal.Moving to a small town and “owning it” (13:04)Paying off $800,000 in student loans aggressively (10:43)Why living like a resident for a few years changes everything (10:43)Working only three clinical days per week (18:20)Taking 14 vacations in one year — with intention (18:29)Investing in 10 CE courses per year for 10 straight years (25:10)Building systems to eliminate blind spots (26:54)Why private practice is still absolutely viable (24:17)The planting vs. harvesting mindset (30:10)Additional ResourcesIf you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to build the life you actually want — start by asking yourself:What seeds am I planting right now?Am I investing in myself?Am I designing my practice… or just reacting to it?If this episode resonated with you, share it with another orthodontist who needs to hear it.And if you want help building your plan — reach out.

“In adoration, I could hear the Lord saying, ‘You're giving me a little bit. I appreciate that. What if you give me everything?'” Fr. Joe Barron, PES, who currently serves at St. Isaac Jogues in St. Clair Shores, joins the Men of the Heart podcast to share his vocation story. Raised in a large family in Minnesota, Fr. Barron studied biochemistry at the University of St. Thomas, where daily prayer, confession, and authentic Catholic brotherhood drew him closer to his faith. He eventually entered the Pro Ecclesia Sancta religious order, discerning from within the community before beginning formation in Peru and fully entrusting his life to Christ and the Church.

#405 In this episode, Guy welcomed returning guest White Eagle Medicine Woman Suraj Holzwarth to discuss the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), a hands-on energy modality described as a next-level, "quantum" evolution of cranial sacral therapy synthesizing ancient practices and working with 32 skull points and 32 body points. The method aims to activate the pineal, pituitary, thalamus, and hypothalamus for total health, longevity, and expanded consciousness, emphasizing intention, trauma integration, and ethical readiness as more "light" activates.

The "Yunarmiya" or 'Youth army' is a movement that was founded in January 2016 by the Russian government. In total, more than 1.8 million children in Russia have joined the movement. As of May 2025, more than 120,000 Youth Army graduates served in the Russian army and other security forces. The Youth Army is also actively recruting Ukrainian children in occupied regions of the country. This began in parts of Ukraine even before Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, in places like Crimea and Donbas. The children are taught to sing the Russian national anthem; kiss the Russian flag; dig trenches and handle guns. Zhanna Bezpiatchuk of BBC Ukrainian has been looking into how these Youth Armies operate in occupied regions of Ukraine. Simon Bolivar was a nineteenth century soldier and statesman who led six countries - Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Panama - to independence from the Spanish empire and earned himself the title of ‘El Libertador', the liberator. He left a huge legacy in South America and is still considered by many as a revolutionary hero. Growing up in Venezuela, Juan Alosno of BBC Mundo was very familiar with Bolivar's mythology, because it was taught to him in school. Even as a child, there were a couple of details that just didn't stack up for him.... so he set out to investigate. At the end of January this year, 6 people were caned in public for violating Sharia law in Aceh, Indonesia. Caning is a common punishment for breaking Islamic law in religiously conservative Aceh, although the practice has drawn criticism from rights groups who say it's cruel. Aceh has a unique identity within Indonesia, and is the only part of the country to practice Sharia. Astudestra Ajengrastri of BBC Indonesian explains Aceh's history and why it chooses to be different from the rest of Indonesia. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi. Produced by Laura Thomas and Caroline Ferguson(Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich.)

Our first storyteller is Rad Wilkins, who as a wildlife biologist embraced the title of “poop ologist” and carried a pungent, fermented concoction called “the brew” into the backcountry to entice grizzly bears. When the love of his life came to visit his remote camp, he had to quickly learn the true rules of bear country before a romantic proposal turned into a terrifying, close encounter in a story that he calls “Wild Proposals”. Rad Watkins is a lifelong nature lover and conservationist based in Missoula, Montana. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Missoula Conservation District, where he helps lead efforts to protect local streams, wildlife, and working lands. His career has taken him from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest studying endangered seabirds, to Glacier National Park collecting grizzly bear DNA, to the Northwoods of Wisconsin tracking wolves and rehabbing bald eagles. Rad also loves personal development, and he's a certified life coach who does some leadership speaking and training. At home, he, his wife Gretchen, and their kids, Lena and Norris, enjoy doing what Montanans do best: floating rivers, skiing, hiking, and spending time outdoors with their dogs and horses. You can find Rad on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. In our next story, Bridget Feerick flies thousands of miles to Peru and connects with a mysterious, motorcycling solo traveler. With a language barrier, a gut feeling, and a wild invitation to ride with him to Canada, she must decide if taking a leap of faith is worth the risk of a true-life adventure. Bridget calls her story “My Gut Says WHAT!?…and it was Awesome!” Thanks for listening. Bridget Feerick started her journey on this planet being born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. She traveled the world before making her home in Missoula, Montana and has continued to explore this country and the world beyond. Her passion for the outdoors is matched by a deep commitment to community engagement and social justice. Bridget holds people in transitions using her intuitive powers as an organizer, cleaner, birth/postpartum/death doula, yoga instructor, herbalist, reiki and sound healing practitioner, and so on and so forth. Oh, and she likes to get weird whether it’s through her performance art pieces or just trying to be free in a world with too many boxes. She hopes to empower and inspire as many people as she can to tap into their own intuitive powers. Trying to escape the dark Missoula winter, a staycation house-sitting gig promises a hot tub and mountain views for Marc Moss, and instead, delivers freezing temperatures and the demanding care of a dog, a cat, and eleven chickens. What starts as a simple favor quickly turns into a crisis when a frantic call from Chile reveals an unfortunate fire and a scramble to rehouse the traumatized poultry. Marc calls his story “The Girls”. Marc Moss founded Tell Us Something in 2011 and lives with his life partner, Joyce, and their perpetual kitten, Ziggy on Missoula's historic Northside. While trekking deep into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to photograph the monumental Chinese Wall, Brian Christianson finally slows down to appreciate the remote mountain solitude with his partner. When a tiny movement catches their eye, they hold their breath for what could be the wildlife encounter of a lifetime. Brian calls his story “Ridge Lessons”. Brian Christianson's love for mountains began on the pages of books while growing up in Southern Minnesota. A family trip to Colorado at age 10 confirmed the future: mountains or bust. He proceeded to study photography and geography at the University of Colorado before moving to Montana in 2008. Brian works as a nature photographer with a curiosity for wilderness in Western Montana. He shares a life with his wife Linds and cat Roo.

In this episode, I'm super excited for you to hear from Gracia Sotomayor. You may remember Gracia from her appearance on the podcast last November in Episode 707, where we talked about pursuing your dreams, no matter how unconventional. Born in Lima, Peru, Gracia discovered artistic cycling through a magazine photo and was captivated by the concentration and control required. With no resources available in Spanish, she taught herself and eventually moved to Germany to master the sport. She has competed in the UCI Cycling World Championships and became the first person to translate the official rulebook into Spanish. As an ambassador for artistic cycling, Gracia has promoted the sport across Latin America and been featured in international media. Through her speaking, she shares how embracing inner power, taking unconventional paths, and helping others can lead to personal transformation and lasting impact. In her inspiring talk, "My Bike, Love, and Empowerment," she explores: Building self-trust through challenging yourself Making fear a companion rather than a barrier, and aligning your actions with your dreams How personal transformation can ripple outward to create societal impact Why breaking free from limiting beliefs is ongoing work More from Gracia Sotomayor Her first appearance on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 707 Her talk on The Big Talk Academy Stage in NYC Website: https://www.graciasotomayor.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/graciasotomayor/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracia-sotomayor-v/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracia.sotomayor/  More from Tricia  Publish your book with The Big Talk Press Join my complimentary monthly workshop  Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Episode 784: Future Humans, Urban Legends & the Amazon's Boiling River Are UFOs actually… us? This week on The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive headfirst into one of the most unsettling and scientifically grounded UFO theories you've probably never seriously considered: what if “alien grays” aren't extraterrestrials at all—but future humans traveling back in time? Drawing from the work of biological anthropologist Dr. Michael P. Masters and his “extratempestrial” hypothesis, we explore how reported alien anatomy—large craniums, smaller jaws, reduced musculature, oversized dark eyes—might align disturbingly well with projected human evolution. If technology continues to shape our bodies, if artificial environments replace natural selection, and if reproductive trends continue to decline (with documented sperm count drops of 50–60% since the 1970s), could humanity biologically transform within 50,000–100,000 years into something that looks eerily like the beings reported in UFO encounters? And if that's the case… why would they come back? We unpack the reproductive crisis angle, the strange fixation on DNA in abduction lore, and the possibility that UFO “craft” aren't spacecraft at all—but space-time manipulation devices. Is time travel actually the more conservative explanation compared to faster-than-light travel? What would survival look like for a technologically advanced but biologically fragile future civilization? Then, because we love tonal whiplash, we pivot to something equally bizarre but undeniably real: the legendary Boiling River of the Amazon. Deep in Peru's rainforest flows Shanay-Timpishka, a river so hot it can nearly boil living creatures alive—reaching temperatures close to 200°F in certain stretches. Far from any volcano, this geothermal marvel has been documented by geoscientist Andrés Ruzo and remains steeped in Indigenous legend involving Yacumama, the great serpent spirit said to shape the waters. We explore the science, the myth, and why protecting “neat things” like a four-mile-long boiling river might matter more than we realize. From evolutionary biology to paranormal lore, from time machines to steaming rainforest rivers, this episode proposes one uncomfortable idea: If future humans are visiting us, they aren't here to save us or punish us. They're here because something survives… and something doesn't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump has threatened to cut economic ties with Spain after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez forbade the US from using its two American bases in Spain to support the Iran attacks. Also, how private businesses in Cuba are taking advantage of the Trump administration's easing of trade restrictions on the country. And, eyes turn to Lebanon, which has ordered people in border villages to evacuate following strikes from Israel.
