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

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.

Jordi said, pointing out the beauty of La Pedrera.Ca: Pere va assentir, agraït per la companyia de Jordi.En: Pere nodded, grateful for Jordi's company.Ca: "Segur que aquí trobo alguna cosa única per a Laia."En: "I'm sure I'll find something unique for Laia here."Ca: Van pujar al terrat.En: They went up to the rooftop.Ca: L'ambient era màgic.En: The atmosphere was magical.Ca: Les parades dels artesans lluïen amb colors càlids i materials diversos.En: The artisan stalls glowed with warm colors and diverse materials.Ca: Hi havia ceràmiques, teixits i joies fetes a mà.En: There were ceramics, textiles, and handmade jewelry.Ca: Pere es va sentir ple d'esperança.En: Pere felt full of hope.Ca: Després de fer una volta, els seus ulls es van aturar en una peça de joieria esplèndida.En: After taking a stroll around, his eyes stopped on a splendid piece of jewelry.Ca: Era un collaret preciós, amb una làmina de plata que destacava una pedra turquesa.En: It was a beautiful necklace, with a silver plate highlighting a turquoise stone.Ca: Semblava capturar l'essència dels colors del mar, on ell i Laia havien tingut els seus millors moments junts.En: It seemed to capture the essence of the sea's colors, where he and Laia had shared their best moments together.Ca: Pere va preguntar al venedor, una dona amb ulleres i un fulard de llana, si podia comprar-lo.En: Pere asked the vendor, a woman with glasses and a woolen scarf if he could buy it.Ca: Ella, amb una mirada comprensiva, va respondre que ja estava reservat per a un altre client.En: She, with an understanding look, replied that it was already reserved for another customer.Ca: La decepció va omplir el cor de Pere.En: Disappointment filled Pere's heart.Ca: "Però veig que t'importa molt aquesta persona," va dir l'artesana observant-lo amb atenció.En: "But I see that this person means a lot to you," the artisan said, observing him closely.Ca: "Si em permets, puc fer-te un altre collaret semblant. Serà únic per a Laia."En: "If you let me, I can make another similar necklace for you. It will be unique for Laia."Ca: Amb un somriure lleugerament incrèdul, Pere va acceptar.En: With a slightly incredulous smile, Pere accepted.Ca: "Gràcies, de veritat.

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

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. Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ true crime history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. 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.

He was the most celebrated writer in London, adored on stage with a bright future ahead of him. But he was living a secret life that Victorian society was waiting to punish.Before courtrooms, prison cells, and public disgrace, Oscar Wilde was a literary star at the height of his power. A brilliant author and celebrated playwright, he moved through London society with wit, charm, and dangerous visibility. But beneath the applause was a rigid moral world built on repression, surveillance, and fear of difference. In this episode of our LGBTQ+ true crime podcast, we explore Wilde's rise, the social rules of Victorian England, and the unspoken risks of queer life in an era where reputation was everything. This is not yet the scandal, but the pressure building beneath it, and the society that made his fall inevitable.Blending queer history with true crime from a queer perspective, this episode sets the stage for one of the most consequential persecutions of a gay figure in history, and why Wilde's story still resonates today.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers examines chilling crimes, queer history, and twisted justice through a sharp and thoughtful lens.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we step inside the world Oscar Wilde ruled, just before everything collapsed.
