Podcasts about Loeb

We're pleased and honored to present a special guest for this episode, Dr. Abraham “Avi” Loeb. Dr. Loeb is the Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University and received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel at the age of 24. He has written nine books and nearly 1000 papers, led the first international project supported by the Strategic Defense Initiative, and served as a long-standing member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, among many other achievements. Although his work with the Breakthrough Starshot project to send “light sails” speeding toward nearby stars may have initially gained him the most notoriety in science news, his study and theory of a recent anomalous visitor put him on the radar of the general public. In October 2017, a Hawaiian observatory detected the first interstellar object to pass through our solar system, which was subsequently named Oumuamua, meaning “scout” in the Hawaiian language. That fact alone may have registered a blip of mild interest to most. Yet the first artists' conceptions of the object as a cigar-shaped asteroid put further curiosity of the masses to rest as it being, albeit odd, just another space rock. However, analysis of sensor data of Oumuamua, with no visual inspection obtained during its visit, led Dr. Loeb and his team to conclude that it was nothing like it was portrayed to the public. Instead, their research showed it was roughly the size of a football field, reflective, spinning, thin as a sheet of paper, and moving unusually. Dr. Loeb hypothesized that Oumuamua could likely be a probe, perhaps manufactured by an ancient alien civilization to gather information as star systems pass by. Not surprisingly, many of his peers met this open-minded thinking with dismissive resistance, hesitant or unwilling to entertain such bold and adventurous speculation. Join us for a fascinating discussion with one of the world's leading astrophysicists on the challenges of searching for extraterrestrial life on the eve of his appearance at the upcoming annual Contact in the Desert conference taking place June 2 through 4, 2023, in Indian Wells, California.

Public housing is the oldest and one of the largest subsidy programs in the country. However, there hasn't been any significant expansion of public housing spending since 1974 when President Nixon placed a moratorium on that budget. In this episode, I shine a light on the complicated history of government housing and the deep influence it has on segregation and race-related issues in the United States. I also revisit a conversation with Rachel Loeb, former president and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, an agency that develops housing under the auspices of economic development. We discuss the vision for Bronx Point, a mixed-use development offering housing, community facilities, retail, and outdoor space along the Harlem River waterfront in the South Bronx.Ensuring a diversity of income levels and housing stock, Bronx Point includes 1,000 units of studios, one, two, and three-bedroom options for families, and units set aside for formerly homeless individuals. The surrounding area provides access to The Children's Museum, community colleges, and a food hall that not only offers fresh options to residents, but also gives small food vendors an opportunity to conduct business.In addition to the details of Bronx Point, Rachel and I dive into the importance of diversity and representation, innovation through an equity lens, and the gold standard for waterfront resilience and risk reduction. About the Guest:Rachel Loeb is the former President & CEO of the New York City Economic Development Authority. Prior to her work there, she was the Director of Development at the World-Wide Group and a Senior Director at AvalonBay Communities. She is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Northwestern University.Topics Covered:The history of government-sponsored housing in New York City How race relates to government-sponsored housingDriving innovation with the help of the government Financing for the Bronx Point project Tangible ways that NYCEDC aims to infuse local culture and history into the Bronx Point projectHow corporations build trust with communities Resources Mentioned: A 'Forgotten History' Of How The U.S. Government Segregated AmericaAbout Your HostAtif Qadir is the Founder of Commonplace, a company dedicated to tackling one of the biggest barriers to more inclusive, affordable, and sustainable development: improving access to capital.

Ugh, these two fucking guys. Look we get it, you're book smart, you fucking nerds. Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. and Richard Albert Loeb planned the perfect crime. Perfect because clearly these two were going to be successful at anything they tried since they know math and shit. That's right, the perfect crime. Well I don't want to spoil how the plan goes, but suffice it to say that perfect crime, it was not, and we're going to make fun of them for it. Enjoy!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Avi Loeb. Dr. Loeb was the longest serving chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy from 2011–2020. In June 2020, he was sworn in as a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. And, most relevant to today's conversation, he is also currently the head of Harvard's Galileo Project whose mission is the systematic scientific search for evidence of extraterrestrial technological artifacts.___________________________TRY BETTERHELPThis episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Prof Avi Loeb is the former chair of Harvard University's Department of Astronomy and founder of the Galileo Project which seeks empirical evidence of “extraterrestrial technological signatures.” His interest in the discovery of alien techno-signatures began in 2017 with the arrival of the interstellar object Oumuamua whose orbital behavior around the Sun suggested it was an artificial object. Prof Loeb's subsequent papers and book on Oumuamua, Extraterrestrials: The First Sign of Intelligence Life Beyond Earth (2020), has generated much mainstream interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation. In this Exopolitics Today interview with Dr. Michael Salla, Prof Loeb explains the genesis of his interest in extraterrestrial visitation and the role Professor Stephen Hawking played due to his 2010 views about advanced extraterrestrials likely being hostile. Prof Loeb explains why he arrived at his conclusion that advanced extraterrestrials would be beneficial rather than hostile. In response to questions about the role of human judgment and observation in collecting data on the UFO phenomenon, as opposed to scientific data gathered through mechanical instruments, Prof Loeb took the uncompromising position that the former is not reliable or accurate and therefore has no role in the Galileo Project endeavors. In contrast, Dr. Salla pointed out the benefits of non-empirical data sources as a complement to scientific sources for a wide-ranging intelligence gathering approach to understanding the UFO phenomenon. Dr. Loeb finished his interview by briefly discussing the genesis of his view that some UFOs may be probes released by an alien mothership that recently entered our solar system. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exopolitics/support

James once again joins Andrew and Dave to take a look at a film from 1992, when the erotic thriller was at the height of its power. Unfortunately, the film is question is Alan J. Pakula's Consenting Adults, a film which doesn't happen to be one of the better films of the genre. Just how bad is the film? How magnificent is Kevin Kline's moustache? Just how off the mark was Roger Ebert when he called the film a comedy? Tune in and find out!Next Episode: The Leopold and Loeb case in everything but name.All music by Andrew Kannegiesser.

Please support the podcast by taking our short listener survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/intotheimpossible Watch the video of this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/86E03OzQDCo?sub_confirmation=1 Recently, Bergner and Seligman explained the behavior of the first interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, as a rare form of a quite common object, a comet. They claim it "began as an icy planetesimal that was irradiated at low temperatures by cosmic rays during its interstellar journey, and experienced warming during its passage through the Solar System. This explanation is supported by a large body of experimental work." But Avi Loeb disagrees: “In a new paper published recently in Nature -- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05687-w Acceleration of 1I/‘Oumuamua from radiolytically produced H2 in H2O ice -- Jennifer Bergner and Darryl Seligman suggest that the peculiar acceleration observed by the first known interstellar object `Oumuamua, can be explained if `Oumuamua was made of water ice which was partly dissociated into hydrogen by cosmic-rays along its interstellar journey. In the abstract of the paper, the authors admit that past models involving a pure hydrogen iceberg or a pure nitrogen iceberg do not work due to theoretical or observational inconsistencies. In fact, the hydrogen iceberg model was proposed in a previous 2020 paper by Darryl Seligman himself. A few months later, Avi wrote a paper with Thiem Hoang, showing that heating by interstellar starlight would destroy hydrogen icebergs too quickly and not allow them to reach the solar system from their likely formation sites of giant molecular clouds. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05687-w Read Hoang and Loeb's response paper: https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/Hoang_Loeb_23.pdf Essay: https://avi-loeb.medium.com/oumuamua-was-not-a-hydrogen-water-iceberg-1dd2f7a6107f https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.00092.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/24/harvard-physicist-pacific-expedition-first-interstellar-meteor Subscribe to the Jordan Harbinger Show for amazing content from Apple's best podcast of 2018! https://www.jordanharbinger.com/podcasts  Please leave a rating and review: On Apple devices, click here, https://apple.co/39UaHlB On Spotify it's here: https://spoti.fi/3vpfXok On Audible it's here https://tinyurl.com/wtpvej9v  Find other ways to rate here: https://briankeating.com/podcast Support the podcast on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/drbriankeating  or become a Member on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join To advertise with us, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Q-Balls!Quinn and I looked at Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 experimental film, ROPE, which was intended to seem like one unbroken take. It was, in fact, composed of 10 shots because...1948. Jimmy Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger star in this film that is loosely based on the murder committed by Leopold and Loeb. It is filled with a lovely supporting cast and some top-notch mid-Atlantic accents.Quinn and I talk teaching, looking forward to summer break, our relationship to dead bodies, funerals, and memorial services, and our two very different responses to this film.Thanks for tuning in. We appreciate it so very much!On the main show, Mac and I will be discussing "Animals Run Amok" films when we look at Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS from the US and BLACK SHEEP from New Zealand.Please remember to tell all your friends all about us.

In this video we will take a look at the proposed theory that aliens have crossed our paths on various occasions and attempted communication through interplanetary space travel and technological assimilation. Of course, this position has been taken by many scientists and theorists in the past. However; when someone as highly distinguished and decorated as Professor Loeb states that such alien lifeforms have been and gone, without us even noticing, people tend to listen. So who is Professor Avi Loeb and why is his proposal so important? What evidence or study does Loeb attribute to his theories? And; if true, what does this mean for the future of contact with the extraterrestrials of the cosmos?

Rep. George Santos filed paperwork for a re-election bid on Tuesday, signaling the controversial Republican will fight for another term in office as he faces an ethics investigation and calls to resign from within his own party.  It took two years after the statewide passage of Prop. 64 in 2016 for voters in Fresno to pass a marijuana tax measure and pave the way for cannabis sales. It would be another two years before the city would amend its ordinances to allow for recreational marijuana sales, and another year to process applications and start awarding cannabis licenses A physicist and Harvard professor Abraham “Avi” Loeb says there's a possibility humans aren't the only civilization in the universe. Loeb teamed up with the Pentagon office that investigates unidentified aerial phenomena, and they came up with a draft report that says it's possible alien ships have already visited our solar system. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the afternoon of March 21st, 1924 a horrific crime shook the city of Chicago (and the entire country). Bobbie Franks, on his way home from school, was kidnapped and murdered by two teenage boy geniuses named Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. It has long been believed that Loeb was the mastermind behind the plan, while Leopold, in love with him, followed his orders. But my guests believe otherwise.Greg King and Penny Wilson, authors of "Nothing but the Night: Leopold & Loeb and the Truth Behind the Murder That Rocked 1920s America" reveal some of the fascinating information they uncovered while researching this case, including details of other murders Leopold and Loeb might have committed before they killed Bobby.Their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kingandwilsonFollow them on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AtlantisMagazinMore about the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nothing-but-Night-Leopold-America/dp/1250272661

This week in CEO School, Suneera is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joann Lublin to discuss the influences of trailblazing women in the business world, as well as their thoughts on the importance of female entrepreneurs having access to business knowledge and the presence of women making more money. She described situations that were seen as powerful statements about women not being pushed around and being heard and seen and getting known to the public eye. The conversation inspires women to be pioneers in men-dominated fields to open doors to fellow women. Having access to business knowledge and the presence of more women making money will create a more equitable business world. ​Joann is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and speech and leadership speaker; she launched the Wall Street Journal's first career column and remained a regular contributor.  She's the author of two books about female business leaders. The first is Earning It: Hard Won Lessons from Trailblazing Women at the Top of the Business World, and the second one, which we'll talk about today, is called Power Moms: How Executive Mothers Navigate Work and Life. Working Mother Medium ranked Power Moms as one of the best 21 books for working moms in 2021.  She also won a 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Loeb awards, the highest accolade in business journalism.

What is the the Perfect Murder?  It's what two affluent and academically brilliant young Chicagoans, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, wanted to pull off in 1924 when the murdered fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. WHY did they want to kill anyone? In part, to prove to themselves that were Übermensches after misunderstanding the philosophical nihilism of Nietzsche. They had come to think that they were truly advanced humans. People above the law. And that normal morality didn't apply to him. They couldn't be held liable by the laws of lesser men around them. Except they could! And they would be. They would be caught quickly because while they were extremely academically talented, criminally, they were morons. And then these two morons would have everyone in Chicago and around the nation talking about what they'd done in another so-called "trial of the century." Want to apply for the Cummins Family Scholarship fund?  The application process opens on MARCH 6TH, 2023. To apply click this link!: https://learnmore.scholarsapply.org/cummins/ Click the "Scholarship Hub America" button.

In this week's episode, we look at the murder of Bobby Franks committed by Leopold and Loeb.

Jordan and Kayla explore the murder of Bobby Franks at the hands of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two wealthy Chicago men in their late teens who really thought they'd get away with it (if it wasn't for 60% of Chicagoans who wanted them dead).

A Civil War veteran who perpetrated one of the most ghastly mass slaughters in the annals of U.S. crime. A nineteenth-century female serial killer whose victims included three husbands and six of her own children. A Gilded Age “Bluebeard” who did away with as many as fifty wives throughout the country. A decorated World War I hero who orchestrated a murder that stunned Jazz Age America. While other infamous homicides from the same eras—the Lizzie Borden slayings, for example, or the “thrill killing” committed by Leopold and Loeb—have entered into our cultural mythology, these four equally sensational crimes have largely faded from public memory. A quartet of gripping historical true-crime narratives, Butcher's Work restores these once-notorious cases to vivid, dramatic life. BUTCHER'S WORK-True Crime Tales of American Murder and Madness-Harold Schechter

Give to help Chris make Truce! Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were wealthy young men in the early 1920s. They lived in big homes in Chicago and had world-class educations. They were both pushed hard academically, and Richard was sexually abused as a child. Both graduated early from high school and college. The two were an odd pairing. Nathan was quiet and awkward, not particularly handsome. Richard was gregarious and outgoing, good-looking... and a psychopath. Nathan loved Richard, and the two sometimes had sex with each other. Richard realized he could control Nathan by trading intimacy for criminal activity. They started with typical juvenile delinquent behavior. Soon, though, Richard wanted more. He considered himself a master criminal, someone too smart to get caught. He and Nathan were exposed to the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche wrote that the ultimate purpose of humanity was to evolve into what he called the ubermensch or superman. Leopold and Loeb thought they were that evolved human. Therefore, they should be able to plot and execute the murder of a young boy without ever getting caught. Only, they were so bad at it that it took very little time to pin it on them. Only the brilliance of Clarence Darrow, the country's most prominent defense attorney, could save their lives. In this episode, we're joined by Candace Fleming. She's the author of the book Murder Among Friends about the crime. The version of Also Sprach Zarathustra used in this episode is courtesy of the Creative Commons License and was produced by Kevin MacLeod.

Do you think Nietzsche was right to worry about what would happen after Christianity took a back seat to world events? What should have been our response? With this little bit we covered about Nietzsche today, what do you think of his work? Can you see why it makes Chris nervous just to mention it in an episode? Do you see the connection between evolution and superman? Were people like Darrow and Bryan right to be concerned about young people learning Nietzsche's philosophy? Learn more about your ad choices.

[FULL EPISODE 72] - The Riyadh Metro project, the game-changing public transportation project in Saudi Arabia's capital, “will be opened soon.” A discussion on the hot real estate market in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia. Then, to kick off the program's "Yallah!" segment, the hosts spend some time talking about the Dakar Rally, which just wrapped up in the Kingdom, and marvel at the risks taken by the participating drivers.1:24 - Richard's one big thing is the real estate market in Saudi Arabia, and discusses recent informations shared by the global real estate consultancy Knight Frank on the market in the Kingdom as well as the expanding giga-developments being undertaken across Saudi Arabia. Faisal Durrani, Partner – head of Middle East research for Knight Frank, said: “A bold new vision is unfolding in Saudi Arabia. The phenomenal transformation taking place in the world's fastest growing economy is clearly visible across the entire urban landscape. With over 555,000 residential units, more than 275,000 hotel keys, in excess of 4.3 million square metres of retail space and over 6.1 million square metres of new office space expected by 2030, the planned construction in the kingdom will easily make Saudi Arabia the largest construction site the world has ever known."“What's more, healthcare, education and wellbeing sit at the core of the transformative plans, which will contribute to an extraordinary evolution in the kingdom's physical realm, making it unrecognisable from what we see today by the end of the decade.”16:16 - Lucien's one big thing is the big Riyadh metro project, priced at $22.5 billion, which is almost complete. The Riyadh Metro project, the game-changing public transportation project in Saudi Arabia's capital, “will be opened soon,” Rai Al Youm reported on Wednesday, citing the German News Agency (DPA). The project is the largest for public transport networks in the world. The announcement was reportedly made by Fahd Al-Rasheed, the chief executive officer of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City.Al-Rasheed, in a statement to DPA, said that the King Abdulaziz Public Transport Project will open “its first phase at the beginning of this year, to be followed by other phases at close intervals.”The first phase of Riyadh Metro is reportedly expected to start in March and the final operation will take place before the year ends.23:55 - Yallah! 6 top storylines to get you up to date headed into the weekend. Al-Attiyah holds off Loeb to win Dakar Rally 2023Nasser Al-Attiyah captured his second straight Dakar Rally on Sunday in dominant fashion, moving into second place in the event's all-time list in the process. Al-Attiyah now has five wins in what has been considered rally racing's top event. Stephane Peterhansel holds the all-time record with 14 Dakar wins, eight of which came in the premier car category. Sébastien Loeb finished in second place but was more than 80 minutes behind in the overall standings.World Economic Forum opens in Davos The 53rd edition of the World Economic Forum opened on Monday in Davos, Switzerland where leaders from across the globe will meet to discuss the global economy. The meeting follows a tumultuous year for the global economy with rising food prices driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine which began in February 2022, and which saw numerous countries imposing sanctions on many Russian politicians and oligarchs. A number of high-ranking officials from Saudi Arabia including Saudi ambassador to the US, Princess Reema Bandar Al-Saud and Economy Minister Faisal Alibrahim will attend the conference and participate in a number of panel discussions. More Saudi Women Assume Diplomatic PostsThe number of Saudi women assuming diplomatic positions has increased to five, with the addition of Ambassadors Nisreen Al-Shibel and Haifa Al-Jedia to the list of Saudi representatives in the Kingdom's embassies abroad. They join Princess Rima bint Bandar Al Saud, who took over the duties of the Saudi embassy in Washington, becoming at that time the first Saudi woman to hold the position of ambassador. She was later joined by Amal Al-Mouallimi, ambassador to Norway, and Enas Al-Shahwan, ambassador to Sweden.Saudi Arabia keeps up pace of women's development hosting first international tournamentSaudi Arabia, who have launched a bid to host the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026, have taken a further step forward with the women's game in the country, with Dammam hosting the Kingdom's first-ever women's 11-a-side international tournament. The four-team tournament featuring Saudi Arabia, Comoros, Pakistan, and Mauritius, kicked off January 11 and runs until January 19. The hosting of the tournament in Dammam is being hailed as a major milestone for the women's game as the country seeks to achieve a first FIFA ranking. A women's first division is to follow, while the Saudis have also launched a school's league for young women. Defending its crown: Saudi issuers line up deals ahead of big ECM yearAfter a strong IPO year across the GCC, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is poised to strengthen its claim as the region's strongest IPO hub in 2023 fueled by a pipeline of mega listings and private mandates to be won. According to Dialogic data, there was USD 9.37bn worth of IPO issuance on the local exchange Tadawul last year, just above the USD 8.5bn recorded in Dubai and USD 4.6bn on the ADX. January is already proving busy for the kingdom's capital markets. Last week, four private sector issuers — manufacturer Al Watanian for Industries Company, Jamjoom Pharma, Mawarid Manpower Company, and Murabaha Marina Financing Company — gained regulatory approval from Saudi Arabia's Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to list on the Tadawul. Saudi Arabia launches Events Investment Fund, SPA reportsSaudi Arabia has launched an investment fund to support the culture, tourism, entertainment and sports industries, state news agency SPA reported on Tuesday. The Events Investment Fund (EIF) will focus on developing and increasing direct foreign investment opportunities for a contribution of 28 billion riyals ($7.45 billion) to the country's gross domestic product by 2045, SPA added.

Tras la resaca del Dakar, la competición arranca de forma imparable. Esta semana es el turno del WRC, que comienza su Mundial, como es costumbre, en Montecarlo. Y desde el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparan para esta preciosa prueba. También está disponible la lista del WEC, del Campeonato de Resistencia, pero de ello hablaremos en el segundo episodio de la semana. Equipos y Pilotos en el WRC. Se inicia nueva temporada en el Mundial de Rallies, con algunos cambios en cuanto a los pilotos en los equipos, nuevos jefes pero con la misma tecnología híbrida del año pasado. Así, en Hyundai tendremos a Craig Breen, Esapekka Lappi, Thierry Neuville y Dani Sordo. En M-Sport contarán con Ott Tänak, Pierre-Louis Loubet, Sébastien Loeb y Jourdan Serdirirdis. Y en Toyota, el equipo campeón la temporada pasada, apuestan por la estabilidad, con Kalle Rovanperä, Elfyn Evans, Sébastien gier y Takamoto Katsuta. Sin embargo, lo que más destaca en las alineaciones de los equipos es la llegada de Cyril Abiteboul, viejo conocido en la F1, a Hyundai. Y habrá que ver de qué se espera de él, ahora que se ha demostrado que los rumores de su llegada eran ciertos. ¿Sin presentación oficial? Después de haber disfrutado el año pasado, cuando hubo cambio de normativa respecto a los motores, de una espectacular presentación oficial de todos los coches en un evento retransmitido de forma pública, parece que este año, aunque aún no está confirmado, no habrá presentación oficial. Sin embargo, los coches ya se han visto, y desde el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se habará de todo lo que ya se ha visto de las monturas de este año, tanto en Ford como en Hyundai y en Toyota: el chasis y la decoración y se comentarán los cambios técnicos reseñables. Además, habrá un repaso a las características de los coches en cuanto a peso y caballaje y de las novedades técnicas en las categorías inferiores. Por último, como no podía ser de otra forma, toca hablar de los pilotos españoles en las diferentes categorías, empezando por Dani Sordo y su copiloto, Cándido Carrera. Montecarlo, escenario idílico para el comienzo del WRC. Para concluir este primer episodio de la semana, y llegar bien preparados a la primera cita del WRC de este año, en Montecarlo este mismo fin de semana, toca hablar de lo más destacado de la prueba de Montecarlo, en cuanto a kilómetros, recorrido, días de desarrollo y tramos de día y de noche. Además, quedarán claros los retos principales del Rally, cuál sería una puesta a punto óptima del coche y de las novedades de Pirelli respecto de las gomas y el material del que se dispone para esta prueba.

Are we alone in the universe? According to Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, we got our answer to that question on October 19, 2017 when the peculiar and fast-moving and luminous interstellar object, named Oumuamua was observed. Loeb discusses his book, "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En este episodio del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 repasamos, junto al gran Iván Fernández, los resultados del Dakar y las conclusiones que podemos sacar de esta edición, comenzando por valorar esta 45ª vez que se ha celebrado el Rally. ¿Fue el 'empty quarter' como se esperaba? Un poco decepcionante y os decimos por qué. Además, repasamos los resultados de todas las categorías y lo más destacado de cada una de ellas. Además, analizamos cuáles han sido los momentos claves de esta edición, el papel de Loeb con 6 victorias de etapa y el liderato del Mundial de Raids (W2RC). Desgranamos cuál puede ser el futuro de Audi y Sainz, así como el papel de los españoles y el número de abandonos que hemos tenido en esta edición. Un disfrute!

Ahora mismo, la actualidad en el motor está polarizada en el Dakar. Por eso, desde el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se dedica el primer episodio de la semana a este magnífico evento deportivo, el primero del año siempre. Una edición durísima. Los ojos de todos están centrados en la prueba de Arabia Saudita, que está siendo tremendamente dura para todos, pero muy especialmente para la armada española y el equipo Audi en coches. Así que toca, cuando se han cumplido dos tercios de la prueba, hacer balance de lo que se ha podido ver. Se hablará de la evolución de la prueba pasada ya la primera semana, se hará un resumen de lo más destacado que se ha podido ver y, por supuesto, se hará hincapié en los problemas que se han visto hasta ahora. Además, se hablará de los principales retos que están encontrando los pilotos de las diferentes categorías, por ejemplo, el calvario que está pasando Joan Barreda en motos. ¿Quién lo está pasando peor en esta edición del Dakar? Una vez hecho un resumen de la prueba, toca ir a asuntos más concretos. Por ejemplo, la decepción que está suponiendo Audi para Carlos Sainz - y para los aficionados españoles. Parece que la única forma de vencer a Toyota va a ser hacer todo el Mundial de Raids para probar todo y llegar al Dakar con garantías. ¿Habrá otra manera de poder plantar cara a Al-Attiyah? Por otra parte, hay que hablar del fantástico trabajo - aunque no acompañado de resultados - de Loeb, a pesar de que se ha quedado sin opciones de ganar la prueba por problemas mecánicos. Otro gran trabajo está siendo el Sainz, incluso manteniéndose en la prueba después del accidente del 10º día: vaya pundonor el del madrileño pidiendo al helicóptero médico que volviera a donde estaba el coche para poder seguir en el Rally. Finalmente, se hará un breve resumen de cómo está la clasificación, lo más destacado, en cada categoría.
