A selfie of a beautiful couple posted to Instagram. A whispered secret exposed. And a queer icon found stabbed to death just 24 hours after lawmakers passed a massive anti-LGBTQ bill.When Georgian transgender model, actor and influencer Kesaria Abramidze posted a photo to her Instagram that publicly acknowledged her relationship, some say it triggered a fatal rage in her closeted partner, leading to her stabbing in her Tbilisi apartment. That killing came just one day after Georgia's parliament passed a sweeping anti-LGBTQIA+ bill that critics say entrenches stigma and emboldens hostility toward queer people, fueling fear that what might have been dismissed as domestic violence is actually entangled with state-sanctioned dehumanization of LGBTQIA+ lives. In this episode we explore who Kesaria was, the significance of that selfie and the dynamics of her relationship, and how her death became a flashpoint in ongoing debates about queer history, hate, and justice in a country where anti-LGBTQIA+ laws and rhetoric are on the rise.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover not just a murder, but the cultural forces that shaped it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Clara's Winter Quest: A Tale of Courage and Resilience Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-01-30-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: L'aire fred del matí travessava les finestres antigues del col·legi internat, situat en un racó pintoresc dels Pirineus.En: The cold morning air passed through the old windows of the boarding school, situated in a picturesque corner of the Pirineus.Ca: Clara, una jove de catorze anys, observava el paisatge cobert de neu des de la seva classe.En: Clara, a fourteen-year-old girl, observed the snow-covered landscape from her classroom.Ca: Les muntanyes reflectien la llum del sol amb una bellesa que provocava un somriure tímid a la seva cara.En: The mountains reflected the sunlight with a beauty that brought a timid smile to her face.Ca: Clara era una noia reservada, però amb una determinació oculta que només els que l'observaven de prop podien intuir.En: Clara was a reserved girl, but with a hidden determination that only those who observed her closely could sense.Ca: El seu majúscul repte era la seva asma, un company constant que sovint la feia sentir sola i vulnerable.En: Her biggest challenge was her asthma, a constant companion that often made her feel lonely and vulnerable.Ca: Aquest hivern, però, tenia una meta clara: participar en la caminada organitzada pel col·legi per final de trimestre.En: This winter, however, she had a clear goal: to participate in the hike organized by the school at the end of the term.Ca: Voldria demostrar a si mateixa i als altres que no era fràgil.En: She wanted to prove to herself and others that she was not fragile.Ca: "Mira, Clara!En: "Look, Clara!"Ca: " va cridar l'Elena, la seva amiga, mentre assenyalava el cartell de la caminada penjat al passadís.En: shouted Elena, her friend, as she pointed to the hike poster hanging in the hallway.Ca: Clara va somriure amb entusiasme, però també amb una certa ansietat.En: Clara smiled with enthusiasm, but also with a certain anxiety.Ca: En Jordi, el mestre de ciències, sabia que el clima de muntanya era dur per a algú amb asma.En: Jordi, the science teacher, knew that the mountain climate was tough for someone with asthma.Ca: "Clara, estàs segura que vols fer aquesta caminada?En: "Clara, are you sure you want to do this hike?"Ca: ", li va preguntar amb preocupació.En: he asked her with concern.Ca: "Sí, Jordi.En: "Yes, Jordi.Ca: Estic preparada.En: I am prepared.Ca: Portaré el meu inhalador i un pla per si passa res", va respondre Clara amb decisió.En: I will bring my inhaler and a plan just in case," Clara responded with determination.Ca: El dia de la caminada, el paisatge estava cobert de neu, i el grup de joves es va endinsar pel camí que serpentejava per la muntanya.En: On the day of the hike, the landscape was covered in snow, and the group of young people set off on the path that wound through the mountain.Ca: Clara seguia endavant amb pas ferm, gaudint de cada respiració d'aire fred, però conscient de les seves limitacions.En: Clara continued with a steady pace, enjoying every breath of cold air, but aware of her limitations.Ca: Tot anava bé fins que, a mig camí, Clara va sentir un pes al pit.En: Everything was going well until midway, when Clara felt a heaviness in her chest.Ca: El seu ritme respiratori es va tornar erràtic, i l'angoixa li va envair el rostre.En: Her breathing became erratic, and anxiety spread across her face.Ca: Elena va notar el canvi immediatament.En: Elena noticed the change immediately.Ca: "Jordi, Clara no pot respirar bé!En: "Jordi, Clara can't breathe well!"Ca: "El grup es va aturar.En: The group stopped.Ca: En Jordi va actuar ràpidament, reunint els alumnes mentre Elena ajudava Clara a utilitzar el seu inhalador.En: Jordi acted quickly, gathering the students while Elena helped Clara use her inhaler.Ca: Els moments es feien eterns, però amb cada alè forçat, Clara començava a recuperar-se lentament.En: The moments seemed endless, but with each labored breath, Clara began to recover slowly.Ca: Quan van tornar al col·legi, l'aire internat semblava menys opressiu que el de la muntanya.En: When they returned to the school, the air inside seemed less oppressive than that of the mountain.Ca: Clara va restar en silenci una estona, reflexionant sobre el que havia passat.En: Clara remained silent for a while, reflecting on what had happened.Ca: Entenia ara que no era feblesa acceptar les seves limitacions, sinó un senyal de saviesa.En: She now understood that it was not a weakness to accept her limitations, but a sign of wisdom.Ca: Els seus amics i professors, però, parlaven admirats de la seva valentia i del seu esforç per ser ella mateixa, malgrat les dificultats.En: Her friends and teachers, however, spoke admiringly of her bravery and effort to be herself, despite the difficulties.Ca: L'endemà, Clara, mirant la vall des del seu pupitre, va comprendre que la seva força estava en la seva perseverança i en prendre decisions encertades.En: The next day, Clara, looking at the valley from her desk, realized that her strength was in her perseverance and making wise decisions.Ca: No era menys independent per tenir cura de la seva salut.En: She was not any less independent for taking care of her health.Ca: Era al contrari, més forta.En: On the contrary, she was stronger.Ca: I així, al fred dels Pirineus, Clara va descobrir que la resiliència es troba en l'acceptació i en la cura de si mateixa, sabent que lluitar pel que volia, sempre i quan tingués cura, era el seu veritable triomf.En: And so, in the cold of the Pirineus, Clara discovered that resilience lies in acceptance and self-care, knowing that fighting for what she wanted, as long as she took care, was her true triumph.

Jordi Carbó nos acerca a la laguna de Gallocanta, donde este fin de semana se celebra la fiesta de despedida de las grullas migratorias. Un evento que combina naturaleza, tradición y respeto por la fauna, marcando el final de su estancia invernal en Aragón.

In this episode, we sit down with Jordi Hayes and John Coogan, the hosts of TBPN, a daily, live technology and business show that's quietly become one of the most premium properties in modern media. TBN runs three hours live every weekday across YouTube, Twitch, and RSS, blending the format of legacy TV with the energy of creator-led streaming. In just over a year, the show has built a loyal audience, hosted over 1,000 guests (including Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella), and sold out every ad slot for the year ahead. In the conversation, John and Jordi break down their “anti-scale” philosophy: why they're intentionally staying niche, how they've built an influential audience of tech and business decision-makers, and why they believe the future of media belongs to great shows. We also go deep on their unique advertising strategy, which includes ultra-short host reads and season-long deals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Finding Inspiration: Gaudí's Magic and the Power of Friendship Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-01-27-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: En un matí fred d'hivern, tres amics caminaven pel majestuós Park Güell de Barcelona.En: On a cold winter morning, three friends were walking through the majestic Park Güell in Barcelona.Ca: Un mosaic de colors brillants embellia el paisatge i les vistes panoràmiques de la ciutat resplendien tot i els núvols grisos.En: A mosaic of bright colors embellished the landscape, and the panoramic views of the city glistened despite the gray clouds.Ca: Pere, l'artista del grup, es quedava mirant les formes ondulades dels bancs de trencadís.En: Pere, the artist of the group, was staring at the wavy shapes of the trencadís benches.Ca: Sentia una barreja d'admiració i incertesa.En: He felt a mix of admiration and uncertainty.Ca: Desitjava tant trobar inspiració per a la seva nova sèrie d'art.En: He so wished to find inspiration for his new series of art.Ca: Però, el dubte aclaparava la seva ment.En: But doubt overwhelmed his mind.Ca: "I si ja no sóc capaç de crear res de nou?En: "What if I'm no longer capable of creating anything new?"Ca: ", pensava mentre passava la mà per sobre del mosaic fred.En: he thought as he ran his hand over the cold mosaic.Ca: Al seu costat, Núria explicava amb passió els plans del seu nou projecte d'emprenedoria.En: Beside him, Núria passionately talked about the plans for her new entrepreneurial project.Ca: Sempre optimista, veia oportunitats a cada cantonada.En: Always optimistic, she saw opportunities at every corner.Ca: "Aquest any serà nostre.En: "This year will be ours.Ca: Tinc tantes ganes de començar!En: I can't wait to start!"Ca: ", va exclamar mentre el seu somriure desafiava el fred.En: she exclaimed, her smile defying the cold.Ca: Jordi, l'amic pragmàtic, seguia amb calma.En: Jordi, the pragmatic friend, followed calmly.Ca: Ell escoltava les paraules de Núria amb un lleuger somriure.En: He listened to Núria's words with a slight smile.Ca: Però, en silenci, sentia punxades d'enveja.En: But silently, he felt twinges of envy.Ca: Tot semblava tan fàcil per als altres, mentre ell lluitava amb les seves pròpies inseguretats.En: Everything seemed so easy for others, while he struggled with his own insecurities.Ca: "Està bé somiar, però hem de ser realistes", va dir a Pere, sense voler, inclinant més el dubte que turmentava al seu amic.En: "It's okay to dream, but we have to be realistic," he said to Pere, unintentionally feeding the doubt that tormented his friend.Ca: Llum solar emergia tímidament a través dels núvols sobre el cap de Pere quan van arribar a la gran terrassa de mosaic.En: Sunlight timidly emerged through the clouds above Pere when they arrived at the large mosaic terrace.Ca: Els colors del mosaic brillaven amb intensitat, com si fossin pintats amb els raigs del seu propi sol personal.En: The colors of the mosaic shone intensely, as if painted with the rays of his own personal sun.Ca: Pere va sentir, de sobte, una gran calidesa al seu interior i una calma nova l'embolcallava.En: Suddenly, Pere felt a great warmth inside himself, and a new calm enveloped him.Ca: "Potser no ho vaig estar veient clar fins ara", va murmurar.En: "Perhaps I wasn't seeing it clearly until now," he murmured.Ca: Instintivament, va tancar els ulls i va deixar que el lloc parlés a través del seu silenci.En: Instinctively, he closed his eyes and let the place speak through its silence.Ca: Amb els ulls de la seva ment, va veure la seva pròxima col·lecció: figures reinterpretades des de les formes de Gaudí, colors vius plasmats en aquarel·les i textures que parlarien al públic sobre la seva nova visió del món.En: In his mind's eye, he saw his next collection: figures reinterpreted from the shapes of Gaudí, vibrant colors captured in watercolors, and textures that would speak to the public about his new vision of the world.Ca: Després d'obrir els ulls, Pere va mirar als seus amics.En: After opening his eyes, Pere looked at his friends.Ca: "Gràcies a vosaltres, he trobat el que necessitava", va dir decidit.En: "Thanks to you, I found what I needed," he said decisively.Ca: Núria va posar la mà a l'espatlla de Pere, somrient amb complicitat.En: Núria placed her hand on Pere's shoulder, smiling in camaraderie.Ca: "Sabem que ho aconseguiràs", va afirmar.En: "We know you'll make it," she affirmed.Ca: Jordi, amb el cor més lleuger, se'n va adonar del valor de l'amistat sincera.En: Jordi, with a lighter heart, realized the value of true friendship.Ca: Potser havia de fer un propòsit d'any nou per aprendre a mostrar millor el seu suport.En: Perhaps he should make a New Year's resolution to learn to better show his support.Ca: Pere havia superat la seva inseguretat i Jordi volia estar al seu costat en el camí que s'obria.En: Pere had overcome his insecurity, and Jordi wanted to stand by him on the path ahead.Ca: Amb la confiança renovada, els tres amics van deixar el parc, plens d'optimisme.En: With renewed confidence, the three friends left the park, filled with optimism.Ca: Cadascú havia trobat alguna cosa aquell matí: inspiració, motivació i, sobretot, el poder transformador d'una veritable amistat.En: Each had found something that morning: inspiration, motivation, and above all, the transformative power of true friendship.

A secret love. A world at war. And a queer bond Nazi history nearly erased.In 1943 Berlin, a Jewish resistance fighter and a Nazi officer's wife risk everything for a forbidden love that defied hate, ideology, and the very machinery of genocide.In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day we bring you an incredible true queer love story. Lilly Wust, a mother of four married to a German soldier, never expected to fall for Felice Schragenheim, a Jewish woman in hiding whose hidden resistance work put her life on the line. Through flowers, poems, and letters signed Aimée and Jaguar, their love blossomed in secret homes, cafes, and wartime streets — illuminating queer history in the darkest shadows of the Third Reich. Their story, captured in Aimée & Jaguar, reveals queer identity under persecution, the brutality of Nazi antisemitism, and the courage it took to love out loud in a world built on fear.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the untold queer love that survived hate and changed history.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Blooms & Balance: Montserrat's Journey Through Allergy Woes Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-01-25-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Entre la fredor de l'hivern a Barcelona, La Rambla bullia de vida.En: Amid the chill of winter in Barcelona, La Rambla was bustling with life.Ca: Les petites parades de flors i les botiguetes d'artesania brillaven sota la llum tènue del sol, que lluïa amb prou feines entre els plàtans despullats de les seves fulles.En: The small flower stalls and craft shops glowed under the dim sunlight, which barely shone through the plane trees stripped of their leaves.Ca: És allà on Montserrat, una florista de 32 anys, va trobar el seu racó predilecte al món.En: It was there that Montserrat, a 32-year-old florist, found her favorite nook in the world.Ca: Des del seu petit local, "Flors de Montserrat", la nostra protagonista veia com els turistes, tot i el fred hivernal, passejaven encuriosits.En: From her little shop, "Flors de Montserrat," our protagonist watched as tourists, despite the winter cold, wandered curiously.Ca: Montserrat estimava les flors.En: Montserrat loved flowers.Ca: Les textures, les formes, les aromes... Per ella, cada una era única, com una petita obra d'art.En: The textures, the shapes, the scents... To her, each one was unique, like a small work of art.Ca: Fa mesos, però, la felicitat que li proporcionava la seva feina es veia desenfocada per una al·lèrgia estranya i persistent.En: However, for months, the happiness her work provided had been blurred by a strange and persistent allergy.Ca: Tot va començar amb esternuts esporàdics, però ara, les seves mans es cobrien de vesícules i els ulls se li entelaven sovint.En: It all began with occasional sneezes, but now, her hands were covered with vesicles and her eyes often became blurry.Ca: Cap tractament semblava funcionar, i els metges que havia visitat li donaven respostes diferents.En: No treatment seemed to work, and the doctors she had visited gave her different answers.Ca: La incertesa creixia com una mala herba.En: Uncertainty grew like a weed.Ca: Un matí, després d'una nit d'insomni per la picor i el malestar, Montserrat es va topar amb Pere, un amic de tota la vida.En: One morning, after a sleepless night due to the itching and discomfort, Montserrat ran into Pere, a lifelong friend.Ca: Ell, al veure-la abatuda, va insistir perquè visités un especialista recomanat.En: Seeing her downcast, he insisted that she visit a recommended specialist.Ca: "Confia en mi, Montse, aquest doctor sap el que fa", li va dir amb insistència.En: "Trust me, Montse, this doctor knows what he's doing," he said insistently.Ca: Montserrat, dubtosa però desesperada, va acceptar el consell de Pere.En: Montserrat, doubtful but desperate, accepted Pere's advice.Ca: El vent li picava la cara mentre caminava pensativa per La Rambla.En: The wind stung her face as she walked thoughtfully down La Rambla.Ca: La seva passió per les flors estava en joc, i Montserrat no se'n podia permetre el luxe de seguir sense saber-ne la causa.En: Her passion for flowers was at stake, and Montserrat couldn't afford to go on without understanding the cause.Ca: Finalment, va arribar el dia de la consulta amb el nou especialista.En: Finally, the day of the consultation with the new specialist arrived.Ca: Aquest va analitzar pacientment els seus símptomes i les flors que sempre portava a la botiga.En: He patiently analyzed her symptoms and the flowers she always carried to the shop.Ca: Va examinar amb detall cadascuna d'elles, fins que es va aturar en una flor peculiar, el llorell blau.En: He examined each one in detail until he stopped at a peculiar flower, the blue bay laurel.Ca: "Aquí està el problema", va dir.En: "Here's the problem," he said.Ca: "És el pol·len d'aquesta flor el que t'està provocant l'al·lèrgia".En: "It's the pollen from this flower that's causing your allergy."Ca: Montserrat no s'ho podia creure.En: Montserrat couldn't believe it.Ca: Era exactament el diagnòstic que necessitava per fer el canvi.En: It was exactly the diagnosis she needed to make a change.Ca: Mentre caminava de tornada al seu petit mercat de flors sota la mirada amatent de Jordi, el seu company, la decisió estava presa.En: As she walked back to her little flower market under the watchful eye of Jordi, her partner, the decision was made.Ca: Va reorganitzar les seves flors, posant en quarantena el llorell blau, i va començar a trobar solucions perquè la seva salut millorés.En: She reorganized her flowers, putting the blue bay laurel into quarantine, and began to find solutions to improve her health.Ca: Amb el suport de Pere i Jordi, Montserrat va adaptar la botiga per mantenir les flors que podia gestionar sense problemes.En: With the support of Pere and Jordi, Montserrat adapted the shop to keep the flowers she could manage without issues.Ca: Va començar també un tractament més específic per a les seves al·lèrgies i, dia rere dia, va notar com els seus símptomes milloraraven.En: She also began a more specific treatment for her allergies and, day by day, noticed her symptoms improving.Ca: A mida que les flors tornaven a florir a la primavera, Montserrat va aprendre una cosa valuosa: estimar-se a si mateixa tant com estimava les flors.En: As the flowers began to bloom again in spring, Montserrat learned something valuable: to love herself as much as she loved the flowers.Ca: Va acceptar que demanar ajuda no era un signe de debilitat, sinó de saviesa.En: She accepted that asking for help was not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom.Ca: Confiava més en els ulls amables de Pere i Jordi i menys en la seva pròpia autosuficiència.En: She placed more trust in the kind eyes of Pere and Jordi, and less in her own self-sufficiency.Ca: I així, en la quotidianitat de La Rambla hivernal, envoltada d'amics i flors, Montserrat va trobar un nou equilibri.En: And so, in the everyday life of a winter La Rambla, surrounded by friends and flowers, Montserrat found a new balance.Ca: Un equilibri que li permetia seguir cuidant del que més li agradava, sense perdre de vista la seva salut i el seu benestar.En: A balance that allowed her to keep caring for what she loved most, without losing sight of her health and well-being.

de la Núria mentre es preparava per a l'excursió.En: The blue sea reflected in Núria's eyes as she prepared for the excursion.Ca: Els penya-segats eren imponents, amagant històries antigues entre les seves roques.En: The cliffs were imposing, hiding ancient stories among their rocks.Ca: L'hivern donava una frescor especial a l'aire, estimulant cada pas que feia la parella.En: Winter gave a special freshness to the air, invigorating every step the couple took.Ca: La Núria era aventurera de mena.En: Núria was adventurous by nature.Ca: Li agradava explorar nous paisatges i trobar inspiració per als seus quadres.En: She loved exploring new landscapes and finding inspiration for her paintings.Ca: Tanmateix, dins seu, hi havia un secret temor: les altures.En: However, within her, there was a secret fear: heights.Ca: En Jordi, el seu amic sempre enèrgic, mai s'havia adonat d'aquesta por.En: Jordi, her ever-energetic friend, had never realized this fear.Ca: Ell caminava al seu costat, ple de confiança, animant-la contínuament.En: He walked beside her, full of confidence, continuously encouraging her.Ca: "Vinga, Núria, aquesta part del camí és preciosa, no t'ho perdis!En: "Come on, Núria, this part of the path is beautiful, don't miss it!"Ca: ", deia Jordi amb entusiasme.En: Jordi would say with enthusiasm.Ca: El camí serpentejava per la costa, revelant vistes espectaculars del mar.En: The path wound its way along the coast, revealing spectacular views of the sea.Ca: Però també es tornava més complicat, amb pendents rocosos i trams estrets que deixaven veure el mar des de vertiginoses altures.En: But it also became more challenging, with rocky slopes and narrow sections that offered dizzying views of the sea below.Ca: La Núria sentia el cor bategar-li fort, però no volia defallir.En: Núria felt her heart beating hard, but she did not want to falter.Ca: La voluntat de superar la seva por i trobar inspiració guiava cada pas.En: The will to overcome her fear and find inspiration guided every step.Ca: "Ara vindrà la part més alta", va avisar Jordi.En: "Now we're coming to the highest part," Jordi warned.Ca: La Núria es va aturar un moment, mirant cap amunt, cap al punt culminant de l'excursió.En: Núria paused for a moment, looking up towards the culminating point of the excursion.Ca: Allà, el camí s'elevava fins a un penya-segat que prometia una vista de somni.En: There, the path rose to a cliff promising a dreamlike view.Ca: L'aire fred li bufava al voltant, i les onades trencaven amb força contra les roques a sota d'ella.En: The cold air blew around her, and the waves crashed forcefully against the rocks below.Ca: Tot i això, va respirar profundament, trobant la valentia en el suport de Jordi i el desig de vèncer la seva por.En: Nevertheless, she took a deep breath, finding courage in Jordi's support and the desire to conquer her fear.Ca: Finalment, van arribar a la part superior.En: Finally, they reached the top.Ca: La vista era impressionant: un horitzó infinit, blaus i verds del mar fusionant-se amb el cel.En: The view was breathtaking: an endless horizon, blues and greens of the sea blending with the sky.Ca: La Núria es va sentir petita al costat d'aquella magnitud, però també poderosa.En: Núria felt small in the face of such magnitude, but also powerful.Ca: "Ho has aconseguit, mira què bonic!En: "You did it, look how beautiful it is!"Ca: ", va exclamar Jordi, sense adonar-se del que significava aquell moment per a la seva amiga.En: Jordi exclaimed, unaware of what this moment meant for his friend.Ca: La Núria va mirar endavant i va fer una passa més, acceptant el paisatge i el seu temor.En: Núria looked ahead and took another step, embracing the landscape and her fear.Ca: El vent li acariciava els cabells, i

at Jordi.Ca: En aquell moment, en Jordi va entendre.En: In that moment, Jordi understood.Ca: Va veure el que havia aconseguit i el que havia implicat.En: He saw what she had accomplished and what it had entailed.Ca: Li va oferir un suport sincer amb una abraçada i un "Estic molt orgullós de tu".En: He offered her sincere support with a hug and an "I'm so proud of you."Ca: Després de vèncer les altures, la Núria va sentir una nova confiança.En: After conquering the heights, Núria felt a new confidence.Ca: Sabia que podia confiar en si mateixa i en les seves forces.En: She knew she could rely on herself and her strengths.Ca: Aquesta experiència seria l'empenta per a nous projectes artístics, plens de colors i emocions.En: This experience would be the push for new artistic projects, full of colors and emotions.Ca: Quan van tornar a baixar dels penya-segats, la Núria portava amb ella no només inspiració, sinó també la certesa que podia afrontar nous reptes.En: As they descended from the cliffs, Núria carried with her not only inspiration but also the certainty that she could face new challenges.Ca: La Costa Brava quedava enrere, portant una part del seu cor i pintant-lo a l'ànima de la Núria per sempre.En: The Costa Brava remained behind, taking a piece of her heart and painting it onto Núria's soul forever.

Story Transcript:Ca: La ciutat de Barcelona es despertava amb una fina capa de gel damunt els carrers, un testimoni silenciós de l'arribada de l'hivern.En: The city of Barcelona woke up with a thin layer of ice on the streets, a silent witness to the arrival of winter.Ca: A dins del col·legi públic, l'escola era un bullir constant de veus i passes, els estudiants preparant-se per al dia.En: Inside the public school, the school was a constant hubbub of voices and footsteps, the students getting ready for the day.Ca: Al segon pis, Laia, la professora de matemàtiques, estava immersa en els seus pensaments.En: On the second floor, Laia, the math teacher, was deep in her thoughts.Ca: Feia setmanes que les ressenyes dels alumnes li causaven inquietud.En: For weeks, the students' reviews had been causing her unease.Ca: Els resultats no eren els esperats i això la feia dubtar de les seves capacitats com a mestra.En: The results weren't as expected, and this made her doubt her abilities as a teacher.Ca: Aquell matí, mentre el fred airejolava l'aula des del passadís, Laia mirava els papers sobre la seva taula amb determinació.En: That morning, as the cold aired out the classroom from the hallway, Laia looked at the papers on her desk with determination.Ca: Havia decidit presentar una nova estratègia als pares durant la reunió prevista per aquell vespre.En: She had decided to present a new strategy to the parents during the meeting scheduled for that evening.Ca: Una combinació d'interactivitat i tecnologies noves prometia captar l'atenció dels estudiants.En: A combination of interactivity and new technologies promised to capture the students' attention.Ca: El repte major, però, era si els pares acceptarien aquestes novetats.En: The biggest challenge, however, was whether the parents would accept these innovations.Ca: L'aula estava decorada amb murals antics i podria semblar difícil introduir canvi.En: The classroom was decorated with old murals and it might seem difficult to introduce change.Ca: Però Barcelona sempre havia estat una ciutat d'innovació, i ella volia mantenir aquesta tradició.En: But Barcelona had always been a city of innovation, and she wanted to maintain this tradition.Ca: Es veia obligada a compartir el seu entusiasme, malgrat el seu cor bategant amb nervis.En: She felt compelled to share her enthusiasm, despite her heart pounding with nerves.Ca: A l'hora de la reunió, l'aula es va omplir de pares, esperant amb expectació.En: At meeting time, the classroom filled with parents, waiting with anticipation.Ca: Laia va començar la seva presentació amb un somriure, mostrant diagrames en una pantalla gran.En: Laia began her presentation with a smile, showing diagrams on a large screen.Ca: "Els nostres fills responen millor quan es diverteixen mentre aprenen", va dir, i va passar a demostrar una classe interactiva.En: "Our children respond better when they have fun while learning," she said, and went on to demonstrate an interactive class.Ca: De sobte, Pere, un dels pares, va aixecar la mà.En: Suddenly, Pere, one of the parents, raised his hand.Ca: "Com podem estar segurs que aquestes tècniques funcionaran?En: "How can we be sure these techniques will work?"Ca: ", va preguntar, el to una mica escèptic.En: he asked, his tone somewhat skeptical.Ca: Laia va sentir com la calor pujava a les seves galtes.En: Laia felt the heat rise to her cheeks.Ca: Va respirar profundament i va explicar amb serenitat els estudis i les proves que recolzaven el seu pla.En: She took a deep breath and calmly explained the studies and evidence supporting her plan.Ca: Quan va acabar, va fer una pausa incòmoda.En: When she finished, there was an awkward pause.Ca: Però llavors va parlar Jordi, un altre pare.En: But then Jordi, another parent, spoke up.Ca: "Això sembla innovador i interessant", va dir amb un to decidit.En: "This seems innovative and interesting," he said with a decisive tone.Ca: Altres pares van assentir amb entusiasme.En: Other parents nodded enthusiastically.Ca: La reunió va girar en una discussió animada sobre la col·laboració entre família i escola, omplint Laia d'una nova confiança.En: The meeting turned into an animated discussion about family-school collaboration, filling Laia with new confidence.Ca: Els pares estaven disposats a donar suport, i això l'omplí d'esperança.En: The parents were willing to support her, and that filled her with hope.Ca: Al final, quan la reunió va acabar, Laia va sortir de l'aula amb un somriure.En: In the end, when the meeting concluded, Laia left the classroom with a smile.Ca: Havia guanyat no només la confiança dels pares, sinó també la pròpia.En: She had gained not only the parents' confidence, but also her own.Ca: El fred hivern de Barcelona ja no semblava tan sever com aquell matí.En: The cold winter in Barcelona no longer seemed as severe as that morning.Ca: Amb pas ferm, sabia que el futur podia ser brillant, amb els pares al seu costat, treballant per l'èxit dels estudiants.En: With a firm step, she knew the future could be bright, with the parents by her side, working for the students' success.

This episode digs into the crime of the future, the human cost behind the headlines, the trauma left in the wake, and what this case says about safety, vulnerability and connection in queer spaces.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories and twisted justice to light with heart and honesty.

Transcript:Ca: Marta corria entre la multitud de l'aeroport de Barcelona-El Prat.En: Marta was running through the crowd at Barcelona-El Prat airport.Ca: Amb el terreny cobert d'il·luminació nadalenca, la gent movia maletes entre llums de Reis Mags i decoracions festives.En: With the area covered in Christmas lighting, people moved suitcases among Three Wise Men lights and festive decorations.Ca: L'ambient era d'hivern, però la calor humana donava una mica de calidesa als visitants.En: The atmosphere was wintery, but the human warmth added a bit of coziness for the visitors.Ca: Òscar, l'agent de seguretat, observava la gent passar amb el seu esguard habitual.En: Òscar, the security guard, watched people go by with his usual scrutiny.Ca: Ell era un home que havia vist tot tipus d'emocions en els viatgers.En: He was a man who had seen all types of emotions in travelers.Ca: Però no va tardar gaire a notar Marta, amb la seva expressió ansiosa i el paper arrugat que sostenia a les mans.En: But it didn't take long for him to notice Marta, with her anxious expression and the crumpled paper she held in her hands.Ca: Marta estava decidida.En: Marta was determined.Ca: Portava una carta per al seu germà, Jordi.En: She was carrying a letter for her brother, Jordi.Ca: Un germà allunyat per amargors passades, que ara es trobava molt malalt a l'altre costat del món.En: A brother estranged due to past bitterness, who now was very ill on the other side of the world.Ca: Marta sabia que aquest podria ser el seu últim moment per reconciliar-se.En: Marta knew that this might be her last chance to reconcile.Ca: Però els problemes van començar aviat.En: But problems began soon enough.Ca: Marta no tenia el bitllet.En: Marta didn't have a ticket.Ca: Ella havia vingut amb l'esperança que aconseguiria un seient, però tots els vols anaven plens després de les festes.En: She had come with the hope of securing a seat, but all the flights were full after the holidays.Ca: Les cues eren llargues, el rellotge no s'aturava i l'angoixa omplia el seu cor.En: The lines were long, time was ticking, and anxiety filled her heart.Ca: Quan va arribar al control de seguretat, va veure Òscar i va decidir actuar.En: As she reached the security checkpoint, she saw Òscar and decided to act.Ca: Amb veu tremolosa però decidida, va explicar la seva història.En: With a trembling yet determined voice, she explained her story.Ca: Va parlar de Jordi, el germà a qui volia veure abans que fos massa tard.En: She spoke of Jordi, the brother she wanted to see before it was too late.Ca: Li va mostrar la carta, saturada d'emocions i paraules que mai havia dit.En: She showed him the letter, saturated with emotions and words she had never uttered.Ca: Òscar va mirar Marta als ulls, afectat per la seva sinceritat.En: Òscar looked into Marta's eyes, moved by her sincerity.Ca: Ell sabia que històries com aquesta eren úniques.En: He knew that stories like this were unique.Ca: Va decidir ajudar.En: He decided to help.Ca: Amb paciència i fermesa, va guiar Marta a través de la seguretat més ràpidament.En: With patience and determination, he guided Marta through security more swiftly.Ca: A més, va consultar amb les companyies aèries per buscar un bitllet standby.En: Moreover, he checked with the airlines to look for a standby ticket.Ca: Mentre esperaven, Marta va reflexionar sobre què significava Jordi per a ella.En: While they waited, Marta reflected on what Jordi meant to her.Ca: Recordava les rialles i les baralles de la infantesa, les històries d'amor i els desacords.En: She remembered the laughter and the childhood fights, the love stories and the disagreements.Ca: Se'n va adonar que, en el fons, la família era el més important.En: She realized that, deep down, family was the most important thing.Ca: Havia de deixar enrere les rancúnies per aprofitar el temps que tenien.En: She had to leave behind grudges to make the most of the time they had.Ca: Òscar va tornar amb una somriure lleu.En: Òscar returned with a slight smile.Ca: Havien trobat un lloc en el pròxim vol.En: They had found a spot on the next flight.Ca: Marta va respirar profundament, una llàgrima de gratitud als ulls.En: Marta took a deep breath, a tear of gratitude in her eyes.Ca: Sabia que, gràcies a la bondat d'un estrany, podria veure el seu germà i, fins i tot, dir les paraules que mai s'havia atrevit.En: She knew that, thanks to the kindness of a stranger, she could see her brother and perhaps say the words she had never dared to say.Ca: Amb un darrer agraïment a Òscar, Marta es va dirigir cap a la porta d'embarcament, el cor una mica més lleuger, esperant amb esperança el viatge que l'acostaria al seu germà.En: With a final thank you to Òscar, Marta headed to the boarding gate, her heart a little lighter, hoping for the journey that would bring her closer to her brother.Ca: A l'aire, mentre l'avió s'elevava, va somriure pensant en la segona oportunitat que tant desitjava.En: In the air, as the plane ascended, she smiled thinking of the second chance she so dearly wished for.Ca: I així, entre records i reconciliacions, Marta va trobar no només el camí cap al seu germà, sinó també el camí cap a la pau.En: And so, among memories and reconciliations, Marta found not only the way to her brother but also the way to peace.

especials.En: Jordi had heard about some special cakes.Ca: No eren pas pastissos habituals, sinó que amagaven una petita sorpresa.En: These weren't ordinary cakes but hid a little surprise.Ca: Amb un somriure murri, Jordi va agafar un paquet marró que semblava una ensaïmada plena de melmelada.En: With a mischievous smile, Jordi grabbed a brown package that looked like an ensaimada filled with jam.Ca: Això enganxaria a Marta, estava segur.En: This would catch Marta, he was sure.Ca: Ningú s'adonaria de res fins al moment precís.En: No one would notice anything until the precise moment.Ca: Amb la cafeteria plena i sorollosa, Jordi es va dirigir cap a la taula de Marta, que estava envoltada d'amigues.En: With the cafeteria full and noisy, Jordi headed towards Marta's table, which was surrounded by friends.Ca: La seva oportunitat arribà quan Marta es girà per buscar alguna cosa a la seva motxilla.En: His chance came when Marta turned to look for something in her backpack.Ca: Ràpidament, Jordi va col·locar la seva sorpresa al plat de Marta.En: Quickly, Jordi placed his surprise on Marta's plate.Ca: El que Jordi no sabia és que el "pastís" era en realitat un espectacle pirotècnic amagat sota una capa de sucre.En: What Jordi didn't know was that the "cake" was actually a firework show hidden under a layer of sugar.Ca: En esperar que Marta el descobrís, va sonar un brogit esgarrifós.En: As he waited for Marta to discover it, a terrifying roar sounded.Ca: El "pastís" va començar a fumejar, i en un instant va esclatar en un esclat de colors i espurnes.En: The "cake" started to smoke, and in an instant, it burst in an explosion of colors and sparks.Ca: Els crits d'ensurt es barrejaren amb les rialles sorolloses.En: The screams of shock mixed with loud

she realized Jordi's trick, she burst out laughing, going along with the humorous flow of the situation.Ca: La cafeteria sencera estava ara captivada per l'inesperat espectacle.En: The entire cafeteria was now captivated by the unexpected spectacle.Ca: L'alegria no va durar gaire, ja que el director, amb cara de desaprovació, es va acostar amb fermesa.En: The joy didn't last long, as the principal, with a disapproving look, approached firmly.Ca: "Jordi!", va cridar.En: "Jordi!", he shouted.Ca: "Explica'ns quina mena de broma ha estat aquesta."En: "Explain to us what kind of prank this was."Ca: Jordi, envermellint, va intentar explicar la confusió mentre Pere s'encongia d'espatlles amb un somriure mig amagat.En: Jordi, blushing, tried to explain the confusion while Pere shrugged with a half-hidden smile.Ca: Tot i haver rebut una reprimenda, Jordi va aprendre que les bromes, per molt inofensives que semblessin, havien de tenir consideracions.En: Despite receiving a reprimand, Jordi learned that jokes, no matter how harmless they seemed, required considerations.Ca: Especialment quan el desenllaç podia ser tan explosiu.En: Especially when the outcome could be so explosive.Ca: Va prometre a Marta i a Pere que la pròxima vegada es pensaria dues vegades abans d'arriscar amb una sorpresa tan... captivadora.En: He promised Marta and Pere that next time he'd think twice before taking such a... captivating risk.Ca: L'incident va restar a la història del centre com un dels moments més esbojarrats de l'Epifania, i encara que va haver-hi un ensurt, Jordi havia aconseguit el seu objectiu: un riure sincer de Marta.En: The incident remained in the school's history as one of the most outrageous moments of the Epiphany, and although there was a scare, Jordi had achieved his goal: a sincere laugh from Marta.Ca: Ara sabia que, a vegades, l'humor requeria més que només un bon pla.En: Now he knew that, sometimes, humor required more than just a good plan.

A crew member vanishes without a trace on a cruise where magic should meet the sea, and the official explanation raised more questions than answers. A video of her last distressed phone call was her last known moment alive, and a family still demands truth from the deep.When 24-year-old Rebecca Coriam, a young British cruise employee working aboard the Disney Wonder, disappeared from the vessel in March 2011 off the coast of Mexico, her absence ignited one of the most baffling unsolved maritime mysteries in LGBTQ+ true crime history. CCTV captured her distressed on a crew phone early one morning, then nothing—no body, no confirmed sighting, and no clarity about what happened next. As her parents pressed for answers, questions swirled about botched procedures, jurisdictional loopholes, and whether the cruise line's priority was reputation over justice, leaving a haunting gap in queer history where a vibrant life should still be. This episode digs into the discomforting shadow cast by international waters and the unresolved disappearance that still echoes across the oceans.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcript:Ca: A la freda claror de l'hivern, quan el sol es filtrava tímidament entre els arbres, el Parc Güell despertava el seu encís màgic.En: In the cold light of winter, when the sun timidly filtered through the trees, Parc Güell awakened its magical charm.Ca: Els mosaics brillants sobre les parets i bancs de Gaudí reflectien petits flaixos de colors.En: The bright mosaics on Gaudí's walls and benches reflected small flashes of colors.Ca: Oriol s'asseia en un racó tranquil del parc, envoltat de l'esplendor de Barcelona.En: Oriol sat in a quiet corner of the park, surrounded by the splendor of Barcelona.Ca: Amb les festes de Reis recentment passades, l'ambient encara era un xic festiu als carrers.En: With the Reis festivities recently passed, the atmosphere was still a bit festive in the streets.Ca: Oriol, però, sentia un pes al cor, envoltat de llenços i aquarel·les.En: Oriol, however, felt a weight in his heart, surrounded by canvases and watercolors.Ca: El seu somni era simple: volia que les seves obres es fessin un espai als salons d'art de la ciutat.En: His dream was simple: he wanted his works to find a place in the city's art salons.Ca: Però la inseguretat envers el seu estil únic el turmentava.En: But his insecurity about his unique style tormented him.Ca: Al seu costat, Martina, la seva amiga i mentora ocasional, mirava els quadres amb atenció.En: Beside him, Martina, his friend and occasional mentor, looked at the paintings attentively.Ca: "És la teva oportunitat, Oriol", li va dir.En: "This is your opportunity, Oriol," she told him.Ca: "Has de triar les peces que realment parlen de tu".En: "You have to choose the pieces that truly speak of you."Ca: Però Oriol vacil·lava.En: But Oriol hesitated.Ca: Quina era la seva essència artística?En: What was his artistic essence?Ca: L'opinió dels altres pesava més que el seu instint.En: The opinion of others weighed more than his instinct.Ca: A prop, Jordi, un conegut del cercle artístic, es va afegir a la conversa.En: Nearby, Jordi, a familiar face in the artistic circle, joined the conversation.Ca: "Oriol, aquests són bons", va assenyalar, però no amb gaire entusiasme.En: "Oriol, these are good," he pointed out, but not with much enthusiasm.Ca: "Però el jurat esperarà alguna cosa revolucionària".En: "But the jury will expect something revolutionary."Ca: Les seves paraules van augmentar el dubte d'Oriol.En: His words increased Oriol's doubts.Ca: En un moment de coratge, va decidir.En: In a moment of courage, he decided.Ca: Confiaria en ell mateix.En: He would trust himself.Ca: Va escollir peces que, malgrat que no seguien la tendència, ressonaven amb la seva veritat interior.En: He chose pieces that, although they did not follow the trend, resonated with his inner truth.Ca: Martina li va dedicar un somriure d'ànim.En: Martina gave him an encouraging smile.Ca: "Estàs fent el correcte", va assegurar-li.En: "You're doing the right thing," she assured him.Ca: L'exposició va tenir lloc en una sala vibrant del parc, on l'arquitectura natural i acolorida feia ressaltar cada obra.En: The exhibition took place in a vibrant room of the park, where the natural and colorful architecture made each work stand out.Ca: Les sales estaven plenes de visitants emocionats.En: The rooms were full of excited visitors.Ca: Oriol caminava nerviós entre ells, observant les seves reaccions.En: Oriol walked nervously among them, observing their reactions.Ca: De sobte, una veu ressonant es va dirigir a ell.En: Suddenly, a resonant voice addressed him.Ca: Un crític reconegut de la seva veu greu i respectada va començar a parlar amb Oriol.En: A renowned critic, known for their deep and respected voice, began to speak with Oriol.Ca: "Aquestes peces són fascinants", va dir, "però et falta credibilitat en algunes línies".En: "These pieces are fascinating," they said, "but you're lacking credibility in some lines."Ca: Oriol va sentir que el món li queia a sobre, però el crític va afegir, "però hi ha una passió genuïna que és difícil d'ignorar".En: Oriol felt the world falling on him, but the critic added, "but there is a genuine passion that is hard to ignore."Ca: Després d'una llarga conversa, Oriol va entendre la necessitat d'abraçar la crítica com un camí per créixer.En: After a long conversation, Oriol understood the need to embrace criticism as a path to growth.Ca: Els visitants van començar a elogiar la seva feina, deixant-li paraules amables i motivadores.En: The visitors started to praise his work, leaving him kind and motivating words.Ca: Va ser un gir inesperat.En: It was an unexpected turn.Ca: Amb l'ànima més lleugera, Oriol va sortir de la sala, sentint el fred hivern al seu rostre, amb una nova determinació.En: With a lighter soul, Oriol left the room, feeling the winter cold on his face, with a new determination.Ca: Aquella experiència l'havia renovat.En: That experience had renewed him.Ca: Ara era més segur en el seu camí artístic i estava obert a descobrir nous estils.En: Now he was more assured in his artistic path and open to discovering new styles.Ca: Al final, l'encant del Parc Güell i l'admiració dels espectadors van aconseguir que el simple nen que somiava amb l'art es convertís en un artista amb confiança, preparat per escriure la seva pròpia història al món de l'art.En: In the end, the charm of Parc Güell and the admiration of the spectators managed to transform the simple boy who dreamed of art into an artist with confidence, ready to write his own story in the art world.

Barcelona, where people moved quickly, seeking refuge from the icy breeze.Ca: Era el dia de Cap d'Any i Jordi i Marta, dos estudiants de batxillerat, estaven a la comissaria de policia al bell mig del bullici de la ciutat.En: It was New Year's Day and Jordi and Marta, two high school students, were at the police station in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city.Ca: Havien vingut a denunciar

A trusted priest with a collar and a gun walked into a funeral home, and two lives were cut down in cold blood, shaking a small Midwestern town to its core. What was Father Ryan Erickson hiding behind his vows and sacred duties?In February 2002, life in Hudson, Wisconsin was upended when funeral home director Dan O'Connell and his young intern James Ellison were found shot to death in broad daylight. The case went cold for years, until shocking leads surfaced pointing to a charismatic Catholic priest whose life of rigid conservatism, secrets, and misconduct may have masked something far darker. In this LGBTQ+ true crime podcast episode, we unpack how allegations of abuse, a failure in both the system and the church, and a double homicide intersect with broader questions about power, identity, and justice in small town America. True crime with a queer perspective isn't just about the mystery, it's about the systems that let these horrors persist.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.

Rosana Laviada analiza con Tomás Cuesta, Planas y Bieito Jordi el anuncio de Sevilla de que prepara un manifiesto para una alternativa en el PSOE.

A celebrated playwright at the height of fame, Oscar Wilde became fodder for scandal and ruin when he chose love over self-preservation. His brilliant career was extinguished in a courtroom where his queerness became the weapon used to destroy him. In 1895 Victorian England, homosexuality was not just taboo, it was a crime, and Oscar Wilde's passionate affair with Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas drew the wrath of Bosie's father, the Marquess of Queensberry. What began as a libel suit against that father's public accusation of “posing as a sodomite” thrust Wilde into a nightmarish legal spectacle that exposed his private life to the world's prying eyes. As the libel case collapsed, the evidence gathered was turned over to authorities, leading to multiple trials for gross indecency under laws that criminalized queer intimacy. Newspapers and courtroom spectators dissected Wilde's love, his works, and the very phrase “the love that dare not speak its name,” turning a queer history moment into a public obsession. Hostile judges, invasive testimony, and Victorian moral panic culminated in a devastating conviction, years of hard labor, and exile in France, where Wilde's health, reputation, and family were forever altered. This episode examines the personal cost of queer desire under oppressive laws and the cultural backlash that followed one of the most infamous queer trials ever. Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light, all with a cold one in hand.
