Atlanta was losing its children and nobody seemed to be listening. As bodies piled up, grieving families demanded answers while police dismissed disappearances as runaways and insisted the murders weren't connected.From 1979 to 1981, dozens of Black children and young people vanished from Atlanta and turned up dead, creating one of the darkest and most controversial crime sprees in American history. In Part One of our coverage of the Atlanta Child Murders, we examine the racism, poverty, and institutional failures surrounding the investigation and the growing panic that someone was hunting Atlanta's children. As the FBI enters the case and the murders continue, troubling questions begin to emerge about who was responsible and whether every victim truly belonged to the same killer.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer history, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we descend into one of the most disturbing chapters in Atlanta's history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He escaped a home where hatred had made him a prisoner. At just 19 years old, Steen Fenrich had finally built a life where he could be himself, until one desperate moment sent him back to the family he had spent years trying to escape.In 1999, being young, Black, and gay meant navigating a world where racism and homophobia could follow you everywhere, even into your own home. Steen had fought his way toward independence, but when a painful breakup left him vulnerable and needing somewhere to stay, he turned to his family for help. What followed was a devastating betrayal that would expose the horrifying consequences of hatred directed at someone simply for being who they were.In this episode of Beers With Queers, we explore the murder of Steen Fenrich, the disturbing circumstances surrounding the discovery of his remains, and the investigation that followed. More than a shocking true crime case, Steen's story forces us to confront the dangers faced by queer people of color and the terrifying reality that, sometimes, the greatest threat isn't a stranger, it's someone inside your own family.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer history, and twisted justice to light from a true crime perspective that puts LGBTQ+ stories where they belong: at the center. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we remember Steen and uncover the story behind one of the most heartbreaking cases in queer true crime. Hosted on Acast.

This book opened a door and no one could ever close that door again.Today we meet Patrick Doyle and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet.PLEASE NOTE: This is an explicit book and so our episode is too. There is strong sexual content.Patrick Doyle writes queer fiction, ranging from romance to mystery to thrillers and science fiction to just plain fiction. His stories depict gay men facing the challenges of living and loving in today's world. His previous novels include Pierre and Bill, Beau's Dilemma, and Jordi's Day. His latest novel, Bill & The Kid: A Queer Family. A Troubled Child. A Secret. A Crime comes out on October 1, 2026.Our Lady of the Flowers is considered Genet's masterpiece. It is a lyrical portrait of the criminal underground of Paris and the thieves, murderers and pimps who occupied it. Genet approached this world through his protagonist, Divine, a male transvestite prostitute. In the world of Our Lady of the Flowers, moral conventions are turned on their head. Sinners are portrayed as saints and when evil is not celebrated outright, it is at least viewed with a benign indifference.Connect with Patrickwebsite: patrickdoylewrites.comgoodreads: @Patrick_DoyleOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy your copy of Our Lady of the Flowers here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780802130136Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Jordi Visser, macro strategist at 22V Research and former Weiss Multi-Strategy CIO, breaks down why Bitcoin is his hedge against a coming age of AI-driven abundance and why he holds no interest in ever selling. He also dives into longevity, heart rate variability, and why chasing money and status like buying a house may be the wrong game to play.THE SHIFT NEWSLETTER
Bitcoin remains resilient, but the key question is whether the current move has enough real spot demand to continue, with futures activity once again leading the rally. The show also looks at NVIDIA's $500 billion AI financing push and what it means for the ongoing rotation of capital into AI, while CoreWeave's strong earnings add to the momentum. On the macro side, Trump is considering major tax and housing policies ahead of the midterms, while the yen intervention appears to be losing its impact and could force the U.S. and Japan into another response.

Cada vez está más claro que la inteligencia artificial va a cambiarlo todo, y no necesariamente de la forma amable que algunos nos quieren vender. Hay quien dice que traerá más sufrimiento que comodidad, que van a quedar muy pocos trabajos en pie y que la mayoría de gente todavía no es consciente de la revolución que se acerca.Con este contexto, separar el ruido de lo que realmente va a ocurrir no es nada sencillo. Por ello, esta semana vamos a hablar precisamente sobre esto, y lo hacemos de la mano de dos de los mayores expertos en inteligencia artificial de todo el mundo de habla hispana: Jordi Segura y Armand Pujadó. En esta conversación profundizamos sobre hacia dónde va la inteligencia artificial realmente, los trabajos que va a destruir y los que va a generar, los modelos socioeconómicos que van a tener que emerger y todos los escenarios que nos podemos encontrar en los próximos años. Una charla sin filtros para intentar ver con un poco más de claridad la mayor revolución tecnológica de la historia de la humanidad y sus consecuencias.Capítulos00:00 Intro01:49 Quiénes son Jordi y Armand04:50 Crecimiento de CenteIA12:55 Sistemas empresariales18:20 Socios22:00 Paid media vs orgánico31:30 Inteligencia artificial38:10 Openclaw50:30 Escenarios a futuro01:05:18 Las redes sociales01:08:40 Habilidades y características más importantes01:12:06 Cómo usamos la IA01:22:22 Trippers quick questions¿Quieres que te ayudemos con tu contenido?

A brutal murder. A controversial identity. And a legal battle that would capture the nation's attention.In 1990, Cheryl McCaul was found murdered inside her car in Massachusetts, launching an investigation that would quickly point toward someone close to her. But the case became far more complicated when the accused, Michelle Lynne Kosilek, came out as transgender and began fighting for access to gender-affirming care while incarcerated. As the murder trial collided with questions of gender identity, mental health, prisoners' rights, and LGBTQ+ history, the case became a lightning rod for debate that continues decades later.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers explores this deeply controversial true crime case through a queer perspective. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we unpack the murder of Cheryl McCaul and the complicated story of Michelle Kosilek. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En este episodio nos adentramos en la escena musical británica de la mano de DEADBLONDESTARS, una formación procedente de Sheffield que fusiona el sonido grunge de los años 90 con influencias del heavy rock y el nu metal. Charlamos con la banda sobre su evolución musical desde sus primeras demos hasta su reciente disco, Metamorphosis, la huella imborrable de iconos como Chris Cornell y Soundgarden, y cómo afrontan la creación artística desde la honestidad y la independencia en la industria actual. Puntos clave del episodio: Orígenes y Sonido: Cómo el paso de los años y la incorporación de nuevas influencias (como el nu metal de la mano de Jamie) han moldeado un estilo contundente, de riffs pesados y estribillos pegadizos. La herencia de los 90: Un repaso a la época dorada del grunge, las similitudes entre el clima del norte de Inglaterra y el noroeste del Pacífico, y por qué este sonido sigue siendo tan honesto y relevante. Autogestión e Independencia: Los retos de mantener una carrera musical al margen de grandes discográficas, la importancia de autoproducirse y cómo se vive la escena del directo en el Reino Unido.

A forbidden love. A desperate plan. And a murder that would forever change how America viewed queer women.In 1892 Memphis, Tennessee, Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward dreamed of escaping a society determined to keep them apart. Their secret romance, an audacious plan to live together as husband and wife, and the crushing weight of Victorian expectations set the stage for one of the earliest documented same-sex murder cases in American history. In this episode, we explore a tragic chapter of queer history that exposed prejudice, obsession, and the devastating consequences of intolerance, while uncovering a case that helped shape harmful stereotypes still felt today. It's a chilling story of love, betrayal, and violence through the lens of a true crime with a queer perspective.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers uncovers chilling crimes, forgotten queer history, and the darkest moments of LGBTQ+ history, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we revisit one of America's earliest and most haunting LGBTQ+ true crime cases. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Destaca cómo orienta a su hijo hacia una carrera en comunicación con un "diferencial" en análisis de datos, y aspira a ser recordado como un buen compañero.

La historia de Jordi no empieza con un arma. Empieza con un niño de tres años cuyo padre entró a la cárcel y nunca regresó del todo; con una madre de 16 que eligió a su nueva pareja sobre su hijo; con un tío que robaba y al que Jordi admiraba, porque era la única figura masculina que tenía cerca; y con un niño de siete años que salía de la escuela esperando ver llegar a su mamá y nunca llegaba. A los 10 años Jordi ya fumaba sustancias prohibidas. A los 12 probó inhalantes. A los 15 su tío lo jalaba hacia la delincuencia organizada. A los 16 ya era casi la mano derecha del patrón. El crimen le dio lo que nunca encontró en su familia: pertenencia, respeto y dinero. Pero el respeto que se gana con violencia viene con una factura. En este episodio, Jordi habla de lo que significa crecer dentro de un ciclo donde el crimen es la normalidad, donde la droga es una anestesia antes que una fiesta y donde el único camino que ves de niño es el que ya pisaron tu papá, tu tío y todos los hombres de tu casa. Hoy Jordi tiene 23 años, una sentencia de 8 y un hijo de 3 que no entiende todavía por qué su papá no está en casa. Su miedo más grande no es la cárcel ni la muerte, es convertirse para su hijo en lo que su padre fue para él. ¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

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.

Story Transcript:Ca: El vent xiulava entre els arbres del bosc, cargolant-se entorn del Temple Amagat.En: The wind whistled between the trees of the forest, swirling around the Temple Amagat.Ca: L'aire portava l'olor fresca de la pluja caient, una pluja inesperada que havia sorprès en Jordi, la Laia i en Marc a meitat del camí.En: The air carried the fresh smell of falling rain, an unexpected rain that had surprised Jordi, Laia, and Marc halfway through their journey.Ca: Havien decidit visitar el temple durant les vacances d'estiu, una sortida que havia de ser tranquil·la i familiar.En: They had decided to visit the temple during the summer vacation, a trip that was meant to be peaceful and family-oriented.Ca: Des del principi, Jordi havia sentit una obaga ombra en la seva ment.En: From the beginning, Jordi had felt a shadow cast in his mind.Ca: Ell sempre estava a l'ombra de la seva germana gran, la Laia.En: He was always in the shadow of his older sister, Laia.Ca: Des que eren petits, la Laia havia estat la líder, la que sempre sabia què fer.En: Since they were little, Laia had been the leader, the one who always knew what to do.Ca: Però en Jordi desitjava que el veiessin pel que era, un jove amb idees pròpies.En: But Jordi wished to be seen for who he was, a young man with his own ideas.Ca: Quan es va fer evident que la pluja no pararia, la família es va refugiar sota un porxo de pedra del temple, mirant les gotes dansar al davant seu.En: When it became clear that the rain wouldn't stop, the family took refuge under a stone porch of the temple, watching the raindrops dance in front of them.Ca: El silenci només es trencava pels forts trons i les gotes picant al terra.En: The silence was only broken by the loud thunder and the drops hitting the ground.Ca: —Hem d'esperar aquí— va dir la Laia, amb el seu to habitual de seguretat.En: "We must wait here," Laia said, with her usual tone of confidence.Ca: Però Jordi, mirant el cel gris, es va atrevir a preguntar: —I per què no podem decidir-ho junts?En: But Jordi, looking at the gray sky, dared to ask, "And why can't we decide it together?"Ca: La Laia el va mirar amb sorpresa.En: Laia looked at him in surprise.Ca: No estava acostumada a que en Jordi replantegés les seves decisions.En: She wasn't used to Jordi questioning her decisions.Ca: En Marc, el seu germà petit, simplement els mirava amb els ulls oberts, conscient de la tensió en l'aire.En: Marc, their little brother, simply watched them with wide eyes, aware of the tension in the air.Ca: La pluja s'intensificava i amb ella, la frustració d'en Jordi va emergir com una tempesta pròpia.En: The rain intensified, and with it, Jordi's frustration emerged like a storm of its own.Ca: —Sempre decideixes tu!En: "You always decide!Ca: Com si les nostres opinions no importessin!En: As if our opinions don't matter!"Ca: Els ulls de la Laia es van endurir.En: Laia's eyes hardened.Ca: —És perquè, sovint, no tens una opinió clara!En: "It's because you often don't have a clear opinion!"Ca: — va respondre amb fermesa, però amagava una punta de dolor a la veu.En: she replied firmly, but there was a touch of pain in her voice.Ca: Els dos germans es van mirar durant un llarg moment, mentre el soroll de la pluja omplia el buit que les paraules havien deixat.En: The two siblings looked at each other for a long moment, while the sound of the rain filled the void that the words had left.Ca: Marc, amb la innocència de la seva joventut, va dir tímidament: —Jo crec que hauríem d'escoltar-nos més.En: Marc, with the innocence of his youth, timidly said, "I think we should listen to each other more."Ca: I aquesta frase senzilla va trencar el balanç.En: And this simple phrase broke the balance.Ca: La pluja va començar a afluixar, tal com les tensions entre els germans.En: The rain began to ease, just as the tensions between the siblings did.Ca: Jordi va prendre un gran alè i va parlar amb més calma del que havia sentit durant anys, de voler ser escoltat, de voler ser part de la família de manera més igual.En: Jordi took a deep breath and spoke more calmly than he had felt for years, about wanting to be heard, about wanting to be part of the family in a more equal way.Ca: Laia, finalment, va reconèixer la seva tendència a imposar-se i va prometre considerar les opinions d'en Jordi.En: Laia finally acknowledged her tendency to impose and promised to consider Jordi's opinions.Ca: Quan la pluja va parar, els tres germans van mirar el bosc que ara s'alliberava de núvols.En: When the rain stopped, the three siblings looked at the forest that was now freed from clouds.Ca: El sol començava a treure el cap, i amb ell, una nova llum brillava en la relació entre en Jordi i la Laia.En: The sun began to peek out, and with it, a new light shone on the relationship between Jordi and Laia.Ca: Amb aquest canvi, en Jordi va sentir una pau que mai havia experimentat.En: With this change, Jordi felt a peace he had never experienced.Ca: Va entendre la importància de la comunicació i, per primera vegada, va sentir que els seus pensaments i sentiments tenien valor per la seva família.En: He understood the importance of communication and, for the first time, felt that his thoughts and feelings had value to his family.Ca: I mentre deixaven el Temple Amagat, sota un cel clar i brillant, es juraven a si mateixos ser més pacients i escoltar-se millor.En: And as they left the Temple Amagat, under a clear and bright sky, they vowed to themselves to be more patient and listen better.Ca: Avançaven junts, més units que abans, cap a un futur on tots se sentien valorats.En: They moved forward together, more united than before, toward a future where everyone felt valued.

A city gripped by fear. A killer hiding in plain sight. And a deadly wave of misinformation that turned an epidemic into a hunting ground.As HIV/AIDS spread across Britain in the mid-1980s, London's LGBTQ+ community found itself fighting on two fronts, against a devastating virus and against the hatred it fueled. When gay men began disappearing after nights out in London's most popular queer bars, police initially dismissed the murders as isolated incidents. But as the bodies continued to pile up, a horrifying pattern emerged. This episode of Beers With Queers explores the chilling case of Michael Lupo, the so-called "Wolfman of London," whose murderous crusade was fueled by fear, homophobia, and the misinformation surrounding the AIDS crisis. It's a haunting chapter of queer history that reveals how prejudice can become just as deadly as the disease itself, making this a powerful story for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ true crime, queer history, and true crime with a queer perspective.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers uncovers chilling crimes, forgotten queer stories, and the injustices history tried to bury, all with a cold one in hand. Grab a drink, press play, and join us as we shine a light on one of the darkest and most overlooked chapters in LGBTQ+ history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcript:Ca: El sol lluïa amb força mentre en Jordi caminava pel camí estret que duia a la granja de flors.En: The sun was shining brightly as Jordi walked along the narrow path that led to the flower farm.Ca: Era un dia clar d'estiu, i l'aire estava ple de l'aroma dolça dels camps florits.En: It was a clear summer day, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of the blooming fields.Ca:

impressionat per la diversitat de flors.En: Upon arriving at the farm, he was impressed by the diversity of flowers.Ca: Les fileres de margarides, roses i gitanilles s'estenien fins a l'horitzó.En: Rows of daisies, roses, and gitanilles stretched to the horizon.Ca: Els colors brillants dels pètals contrastaven amb el verd intens de les fulles, creant una simfonia visual que gairebé el deixava atònit.En: The bright colors of the petals contrasted with the deep green of the leaves, creating a visual symphony that almost left him stunned.Ca: En aquell moment, va entendre que escollir les flors adequades no seria una tasca fàcil.En: At that moment, he realized that choosing the right flowers would not be an easy task.Ca: Mentre caminava entre les plantes, una veu càlida i acollidora el va sorprendre.En: As he walked among the plants, a warm and welcoming voice surprised him.Ca: "Hola, noi!En: "Hello, young man!"Ca: " va dir la Mercè, una dona gran amb ulls brillants i mans fortes de treballar la terra.En: said Mercè, an older woman with bright eyes and strong hands from working the land.Ca: "Veig que tens interès pels nostres tresors d'estiu.En: "I see you're interested in our summer treasures."Ca: ""Sí," va respondre en Jordi, una mica insegur.En: "Yes," Jordi responded, a little unsure.Ca: "Vull crear un jardí al meu balcó, però no sé quines flors triomfaran millor amb tant de sol.En: "I want to create a garden on my balcony, but I don't know which flowers will thrive best with so much sun."Ca: "La Mercè va somriure, mostrant les arrugues acollidores d'una vida plena.En: Mercè smiled, showing the welcoming wrinkles of a full life.Ca: "Entenc el que vols dir," va dir ella.En: "I understand what you mean," she said.Ca: "El sol pot ser un amic i un enemic alhora per a les plantes.En: "The sun can be both a friend and a foe for plants."Ca: "Van caminar junts pels camps mentre la Mercè li explicava les virtuts de cada planta.En: They walked together through the fields as Mercè explained to him the virtues of each plant.Ca: Gitanilles per la seva resistència, lavandes pel seu aroma relaxant, i petúnies pels seus colors vibrants.En: Gitanilles for their resilience, lavenders for their relaxing aroma, and petunias for their vibrant colors.Ca: "Però recorda," li va advertir, "no tots els colors i plantes han d'estar junts alhora.En: "But remember," she warned him, "not all colors and plants should be together at once.Ca: Un punt focal fort és millor que un caos de flors.En: A strong focal point is better than a chaos of flowers."Ca: "Amb el cor ple de dubtes, en Jordi es va trobar en una encrucillada.En: With his heart full of doubts, Jordi found himself at a crossroads.Ca: Havia volgut una explosió de varietat, però la saviesa de la Mercè li feia reconsiderar la seva opció inicial.En: He had wanted an explosion of variety, but the wisdom of Mercè made him reconsider his initial choice.Ca: Volia harmonia, però també desitjava mantenir el seu amor per la diversitat.En: He wanted harmony, but he also wished to maintain his love for diversity.Ca: Finalment, després de molta reflexió, en Jordi va decidir: Triaria una barreja de flors, però amb l'ajuda d'en Mercè, seleccionaria colors i patrons de creixement que es complementessin entre si.En: Finally, after much reflection, Jordi decided: He would choose a mix of flowers, but with Mercè's help, he would select colors and growth patterns that complemented each other.Ca: Triaria gitanilles blanques per la seva senzillesa, lavandes per contrastar amb la seva

Scott Galloway sits down with TBPN creators John Coogan and Jordi Hays to unpack how they turned a daily tech show into one of the fastest-growing businesses in media — and ultimately, OpenAI's first acquisition. They discuss why most podcasts get advertising wrong, how a small but influential audience can be worth more than mass reach, and why they built TBPN like a startup.

The crew is joined by Selini Capital's Jordi Alexander to break down Open USD, the no-fee stablecoin from a 140-firm consortium spanning Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google and Coinbase, all aimed at the Circle and Tether duopoly. Plus Saylor's new Digital Credit framework for MicroStrategy, the Ansem-fueled memecoin comeback, and ENS reigniting the “DAOs are fake” debate. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Joining the panel “at the moment of max pain” is Jordi Alexander, CIO of Selini Capital. First up: MicroStrategy in crisis, with MSTR down about 30% in five days and STRC hitting $71, and Saylor's answer, a new Digital Credit framework with an 18-month cash cushion and a jumbo dividend hike to 12%. Then the headline story, Open USD: a no-fee stablecoin from a 140-member consortium including Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google and Coinbase, built to break the Circle and Tether duopoly. The back half covers the memecoin comeback around the Ansem coin, and ENS reigniting the “DAOs are fake” debate after Nick Johnson single-handedly blocked a governance vote, before the crew debates whether consortia are just DAOs in a suit.
