Today's Mexican drug cartels haven't abandoned the old playbook of murder, corruption, and intimidation – but they've modernized it. Armed with drones, AI, sophisticated financial networks, and global criminal partnerships, they've transformed organized crime for the 21st century. Cartel expert Vanda Felbab-Brown joins Rep. Dan Crenshaw to explain how they evolved, why they're more powerful than ever, and what the United States must do to stop them.   Vanda Felbab-Brown is a senior fellow in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution, where she studies international organized crime, terrorism, and illicit economies.

This week we talk about cyclospora, FoodNet, and Taylor Farms.We also discuss iceberg lettuce, Taco Bell, and foodborne pathogens.Recommended Book: Babel by R.F. KuangTranscriptFoodborne pathogens cause about 48 million illnesses and around 3000 deaths in the US alone each year.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the main agency tasked with keeping those numbers as low as possible, and the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet, is one way that they've tackled this pernicious, persistent problem since 1995, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture, and 10 state health departments: those of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.Collectively, this FoodNet network covers about 16% of the US population, which seems like a small number, and in some ways it is, but that grid of laboratories and surveillance sites has typically been capable of detecting foodborne problems before they've scaled-up into something more significant, growing from a localized issue into a nationwide outbreak. They're generally not capable of preventing them outright, but they can keep them relatively small and regionalized.FoodNet was created in response to a series of huge, deadly E. coli outbreaks in 1992 and 1993, and in contrast to other common methods of detection, which are usually passive and thus a little slow to respond to potential outbreak indicators, this program was built around active surveillance methods, which means proactively gathering data from medical treatment records, hospitalizations, and even individual patient outcomes (including their travel history)—anything they can pair with diagnostic samples to better understand the context surrounding the products that contain dangerous pathogens—and this was intended to help them move faster to identify issues, triangulate the source of those issues, and then implement measures to solve these issues before they harm a bunch of people, as happened during another round of E. coli outbreaks in 2012 and 2013, which sickened dozens of people across multiple states, about half of the afflicted requiring hospitalization, in addition to at least one known death.At its height, FoodNet tracked 9 pathogens, so it cast a pretty broad net, encompassing the most common and dangerous of these potential vectors, including listeria, campylobacter, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, cyclospora, cryptosporidium, e coli, and salmonella.In July of 2025, as part of a larger wave of sweeping cuts across the nation's safety nets, tracking systems, and scientific agencies, the CDC, under the second Trump administration, downgraded FoodNet so that it was only mandatory to track salmonella and E coli—the rest were no longer on the docket, because these agencies no longer had the budget to keep tracking them.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent, and as of the day I'm recording this ongoing, outbreak of cyclospora-induced cyclosporiasis, what we know about this outbreak, and what might happen next.—Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan that can infect human beings, and which is usually transmitted via contaminated fruits and vegetables. This contamination is typically the consequence of inadequate sanitation standards, as it's not transmitted via coughing or blood or anything like that, it's carried via human feces.So this parasite gets into a human, sporulates, which means it releases a bunch of spores within its host, and then usually between 1 and 2 weeks after entering its new host, the host develops cyclosporiasis, the disease caused by cyclospora producing all those spores. This disease is notorious for sometimes causing what's colorfully called explosive diarrhea, alongside general watery bowel movements, intense cramping and severe gas and bloating, and that's sometimes paired with nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration, due to all the frequent, intense, watery bowel-movement-related output.This is how cyclospora reproduces and spreads: it infects a host, that host has urgent diarrhea for a while, usually more than two days, sometimes as long as several weeks or even a month or more, with all the pain and discomfort and life-disrupting issues you might assume from that sort of persistent symptom, and then it sometimes finds new hosts via that watery output.Sometimes, cyclospora works its way into food systems because sanitation standards at a particular farm will be not good. Specifically, workers will sometimes not be allowed to take restroom breaks, and they'll simply do their business right there in the field; so if they're sick and can't afford to take a sick day, and might be fired if they do, or if they're asymptomatic, which some people infected with cyclospora are, they might do their business in the field, unaware that waste can then go on to spread this pathogen into the food system. It's also possible that someone just doesn't wash their hands properly after using the rest room, and then gets back to work, picking vegetables or operating at some other level along the food processing and packaging assembly line, and it gets into the system that way.In a typical year, the United States records around 2,700 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis, though on occasion it's as low as just a few hundred cases, the majority of which show up in health records in the Spring and Summer, between May and August. That range includes relatively mild outbreaks, so while this is a persistent issue, it's also not generally a massive one, at least compared to other pathogens of note. It's not pleasant for those who come down with it, of course, but not something that has triggered an organized response from the top, because of its meager scale, and because (again, while super unpleasant) people with healthy immune systems generally recover without treatment, even if that recovery can take a while. The biggest risk for most people who catch this disease is dehydration, though immunocompromised people are also sometimes given antibiotics by their doctors, the typical dosage curing about 96% of the people who receive it.There was a larger-than-usual outbreak of cyclosporiasis in the US in 2020, which caused a confirmed 1,241 cases across the country, a whole lot to land all at once, and there were no reported deaths resulting from that outbreak. Between 2018 and 2021, there were about 6,000 total confirmed cases across the US, so an average of about 2000 per year.As of mid-July 2026, the CDC has officially confirmed 1,645 cases of this illness, with another 5,100 probable or potential cases currently under investigation. If the majority of those still-under-investigation cases are confirmed, that would mean more people have already been infected as a result of this one outbreak in the first half of 2026 than were infected between 2018 and 2021, which again, is a range that includes the large outbreak that happened in 2020.Also worth noting about those numbers: that's federal-level, CDC reporting, and it's generally understood that there's a significant lag between local-level data and those that have percolated up to the national level. As of the day I'm recording this, Michigan's health agencies alone have more than 5,000 confirmed and suspected cases, Ohio has nearly 1,200, and other states, which are still investigating, are seeing dozens of confirmed cases, including 43 in Wisconsin, 69 in Maryland, and a few already, in the early stages of investigation, in Nevada.Over the past week, officials flagged shredded lettuce sourced from Mexico and sold by a company called Taylor Farms as the likely source of at least some of these cases, and that's led to a recall on lettuce produced by the company in 27 states. Over the weekend, the CDC found cyclospora in iceberg lettuce from the company's Mexican operations, as well, and this lettuce was part of a batch that wasn't included in the recall—so there's a good chance the recall will expand beyond the currently targeted products, which include shredded lettuce destined for Taco Bell locations in five states, and the kitchens of several other fast food chains, as well.Taylor Farms is one of the largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, and their products are sold all over the place, from lower-end fast food restaurants to more expensive grocery stores like Whole Foods.Taylor Foods has announced that it's voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from shelves, even though none of its branded, in-store salad kits have been clearly tied to the outbreak, and Taco Bell has said that it's voluntarily removing all potentially affected lettuce from its locations in the five most-impacted states, indefinitely removing lettuce sourced from the implicated supplier; other brands are following suit, no one wanting to be associated with this outbreak, but everyone wanting to show would-be customers that they're taking it seriously.Interestingly, the FDA doesn't actually require that Taylor Foods tell the public who their products go to—which other entities might be selling infected produce. So they've released lists of product numbers, and again, many of their customers are taking the initiative to announce the removal of this lettuce from their shelves or food, without being prompted, but there's still some fog-of-war here, because of Taylor Foods' decision not to be clearer with that product list.So this is already the largest recorded cyclospora outbreak in US history, there have been 141 confirmed hospitalizations from the CDC, and that number is likely larger, again because it takes a while for state-level numbers to work their way up to the CDC, and to be reconfirmed at that level. Also important to note here is that a lot, perhaps even the majority of people who suffer from cyclosporiasis will never show up in these data, because they just suffer silently, either not realizing they have this parasite, or not seeing the point of going to the hospital, maybe paying an arm and a leg to do so, just to get prescribed anti-diarrheal medication and told to take fluids, same as they can do at home. People who do have any kind of immunodeficiency issues or potentially confounding factors, like being older or very young, are being encouraged to seek medical help, though, as they're more likely to suffer more serious consequences after contracting this disease.It's currently unclear where precisely this outbreak came from, and it's puzzling how an outbreak of this scale might have happened, as, in the words of Matthew Moore, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who was quoted in the New York Times, this many infections suggest there was a “massive degree of human fecal contamination.” So probably not just a farm laborer who forgot to wash their hands after using the rest room, something much more substantial than that.Also, because cyclospora takes a while, a week or two, to create enough spores in its host to trigger cyclosporiasis, attribution of the infection difficult, which in turn makes tracking it back to its source difficult; which is part of why this outbreak, which has been going on for weeks, is still under investigation, not a solved problem with definitive answers and in-practice solutions.Right now, experts are recommending higher-risk foods are cooked to at least 158 degrees F, because that temperature kills this pathogen, and washing fresh produce doesn't always get rid of all the cyclospora on a contaminated piece of produce. Washing fresh produce certainly helps, and it's better than nothing, and scrubbing is even better. They also recommend avoiding high-risk foods when possible, though of course that won't always be possible for everyone, nor will it always be possible to get heads of lettuce rather than pre-made salads, though that's also advised when feasible.Also worth noting here is that even if the FoodNet program was still up to full power, tracking all 9 of those original pathogens, it's unlikely this outbreak would have been prevented.It likely would have flagged that something was up earlier on in this outbreak, though, which could have led to faster action in the afflicted regions. It probably would have allowed professionals to note hot spots faster, as well, which is what this kind of surveillance system is for: it doesn't prevent, but it does make it more likely experts will have the chance to keep things from spiraling out of control.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/well/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce-taco-bell.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/well/eat/cyclospora-stomach-bug-what-to-know.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/business/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/well/eat/lettuce-safety-cyclospora-outbreak.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/health/cyclospora-taylor-farms-mexico-taco-bell-lettuce.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclosporiasishttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8471761/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00494755261437456https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/16/diarrhea-outbreak-cyclospora-parasite-cdchttps://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.htmlhttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-qa/cyclosporiasis-outbreakhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/07/17/taco-bell-warned-investors-about-cyclospora-before-the-outbreak-and-these-other-chains-did-too/https://www.today.com/health/disease/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-foods-avoid-map-cases-parasite-diarrhea-2026-rcna588006http://cnn.com/2026/07/18/health/cyclospora-what-to-do-wellnesshttps://www.statnews.com/2025/12/22/american-food-safety-funding-cuts-foodnet/https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-disease/cdc-cuts-back-foodborne-illness-surveillance-programhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-quietly-scaled-back-surveillance-program-foodborne-illnesses-rcna227089https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(25)00305-X/fulltexthttps://www.cdc.gov/foodnet/about/index.htmlhttps://www.food-safety.com/articles/10646-cdc-slashes-foodnet-surveillance-from-eight-foodborne-pathogens-to-twohttps://www.thermofisher.com/blog/food/foodnet-active-surveillance-for-food-safety/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/health/taylor-farms-iceberg-lettuce-recall.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/cyclospora-lettuce-recall-taylor-farms-taco-bell-8c8bb30fbd100e0c246cffeff6983753 This is a public episode.

Want to climb longer, recover faster, and finally stop getting pumped off your project? Then this episode is for you. In this special coaching session with Ryan Devlin, I deliver a deep-dive masterclass on rock climbing endurance training, sport climbing performance, and the science of building lasting endurance. We explore why improving endurance isn't just about surviving pumpy workouts—it's about becoming a more efficient climber by eliminating hidden energy leaks caused by overgripping, poor pacing, inefficient movement, fear, hesitation, and mental tension. You'll learn how better technique, movement economy, breathing, and confidence can dramatically improve your endurance before you ever change your fitness. Next, we dive into the physiology of climbing performance, breaking down the differences between aerobic endurance, anaerobic power endurance, and maximum strength—and why all three must be trained if you want to reach your climbing potential. I explain how to structure your training using route climbing, treadwall intervals, spray wall workouts, bouldering circuits, and submaximal volume sessions to build endurance the smart way instead of simply climbing until your forearms explode. Whether you're training for your first 5.12, projecting steep sport routes, preparing for long days at the crag, or simply looking for the most effective climbing training methods backed by exercise science and decades of coaching experience, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can apply immediately. If you're serious about becoming a stronger, more durable, and more efficient climber, this is an episode you'll want to save, revisit, and share with your climbing partners.

Nour Tayara joined us to talk about his innovative and 100% plastic-free beauty brand, AORA. Before he became a co-founder and CEO, Nour was learning about the power of beauty culture to connect and spark conversation among his community in Beirut. During our conversation, he shared how he found his place in Lebanon's underground queer scene and shaped his life's motto to be kind and engaging to everyone, wherever you are. We talk about how Nour supplemented his scholarship by taking guerrilla marketing jobs and how they changed his mind about his electrical engineering major. Nour explains how an incredibly high test score landed him an internship and ultimately a full-time role at L'Oréal, where he worked for 13 years. We cover how, in those 13 years, Nour learned the good, the bad, and the ugly about what it takes to run a legacy beauty brand.As Nour's role and responsibilities evolved, he learned more about the waste and overconsumption plaguing the industry. Always prepared to innovate, he pitched a plastic-free brand to his management, which was promptly rejected. While reeling from a series of difficult events, Nour shared that a four-month break in Mexico City ultimately led him to his co-founder. The pair were aligned on building a brand that celebrates Mexican culture and is 100% plastic-free. Join us for an incredible conversation about what happens when you stay open to possibilities for your future and your principles are immovable. Nour details what it means to him to bring color to the clean beauty movement, why Mexico has always been a lifeline, and what it feels like to disrupt an industry.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming events Clear Admit is hosting. The MBA Essay Workshop series begins this week, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and continues Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. These events will bring together an increasing number of the top MBA programs to discuss both their written essay prompts as well as their video essays. Signups for all events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham highlighted two admissions tips, published by Clear Admit, this week. The first focuses on how to make the most of a campus visit. The second explores identifying advocates, students, alumni and faculty, that can help provide anecdotes to candidates' applications. Clear Admit continues its Adcom Q&A series. This week Graham notes Q&As from London Business School, Florida / Warrington and Toronto / Rotman. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries. This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from Brazil and is a sponsored candidate with plans to return to BCG. This week's second MBA applicant is from Mexico and has an EA score of 154. We encourage them to explore taking the GRE test. The final candidate this week is from India. They have an outstanding profile, but their GMAT score is 645. We are hoping they can retake the test, while still applying in Round 1. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

You know him as Dani Rojas on Ted Lasso. He's also a professional footballer with El Paso Locomotive FC, a filmmaker, and now the author of a bilingual picture book, Fútbol Is Life! / ¡Fútbol es vida!, illustrated by James Rey Sanchez. But before all of that? He was a life insurance salesman who sold nothing for a year.  This conversation is about what happens between the dream and the arriving. About injuries that turn out to be redirections. About why "be curious, not judgmental" might be the most useful thing we can teach — and keep learning ourselves. In this episode: (00:01) The gotcha question: is Cristo actually a superhero? (01:27) The family example: why "the more you give, the more you receive" (03:32) What team sports teach us about not being the star (04:19) Injuries, rejection, and becoming a hustler: "I love when someone tells me no" (09:22) The market scene: remembering to pause and notice (10:31) What Dani Rojas reminds Cristo about joy (12:55) Embracing where you come from as a superpower (14:09) Collaboration, and never thinking you know everything (16:30) Why a children's book is the perfect format for dreaming big Quotes worth stealing: "I love when someone tells me no. It might not be no here, but it might be yes somewhere else." "Aim for the moon. If you don't hit the moon, you hit a star. And if you don't hit a star, you hit some space dust — and that's fine too." "There's not one single way of being Mexican or being American or being Latino.

US and Mexican trade officials are meeting this week in Mexico City, and Canadian negotiators are not at the table. We hear from Mexican journalist Eduardo Garcia about what's at stake for Mexico, and from Goldy Hyder of the Business Council of Canada about how to approach negotiations now that the US says it does not want to extend the agreement as it is now.

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Matt Ellis to discuss a newly announced FCPA enforcement action involving Scoular Company. The case invoiced about $400,000 in payments labeled as “reinspection fees” to Mexican customs and food inspectors to move agricultural goods across the Mexico–U.S. border. border, allegedly generating over $6.5 million in avoided costs and raising concerns about cartel-linked beneficiaries. They discuss why customs and customs brokers are recurring high-risk areas in Mexico, how long-running employee involvement suggests broader controls and tone-from-the-top failures, and why these payments are not facilitation payments under Mexican law and given discretionary official acts.

I covered the Oyo State meth lab bust: billions in drugs, five suspects, a Mexican trafficking expert arrested. It got me thinking about a different side of Nigeria's drug problem, one law enforcement can't touch. For most young Nigerians, drugs weren't first understood on the streets. They were first heard in a song.On this episode of The Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, I sat down with Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy at the NDLEA, to talk about drugs, music, and Nigeria's entertainment industry. I asked him directly: Are artists responsible for glorifying drug use in their lyrics? Do celebrities get protected from arrest while smaller, independent artists take the fall? Can an artist battling addiction trust the NDLEA enough to ask for help without being exposed? And does using drugs actually make anyone more creative, or is that the biggest lie in the music industry?His answers reveal a side of the NDLEA most Nigerians never hear about, including a confidential rehabilitation program that has treated Nigerian celebrities without their names ever going public.This episode covers Afrobeats, addiction, fame, drug culture, youth influence, and the NDLEA's real approach to Nigeria's entertainment industry, straight from the agency's own Director of Media and Advocacy.Topics: NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, Afrobeats, drug addiction, Nigerian music industry, youth culture, rehabilitation, Femi Makx, The Artiste Hangout

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service.This week, we mark 90 years since the start of the Spanish Civil War. Our guest is historian Professor Sir Paul Preston, who explains how the conflict transformed Spain and paved the way for the rise of General Francisco Franco. We hear the story of a young refugee who fled the fighting but later returned home while the war was still under way.We then travel to the Canadian Arctic, where the Inuit fought for greater control over their land and way of life. Their campaign would eventually lead to the creation of Nunavut, Canada's newest and largest territory.We also hear the story behind ‘The Kiss of Life', the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that captured a life-saving rescue.From Turkey, we hear memories of the failed military coup of July 2016, a night of violence that left hundreds dead. Plus, the story of the Birkin bag, the oversized handbag created in the 1980s that became one of the world's most coveted fashion accessories.And from Sporting Witness, why do thousands of sports fans around the world suddenly stand up, throw their arms into the air and sit down again? We discover the origins of the Mexican wave and how it became a global sporting tradition.Contributors: Professor Sir Paul Preston – historian, author and professor at London School of Economics Paul Quassa- Inuit politician and activist JD Thompson- American lineman in ‘The Kiss of Life' photograph Can Cumhurcu - Mukhtar of Çengelköy, Istanbul Jane Birkin – creator of the Birkin bag in interviews from BBC Archive Krazy George Henderson – creator of the Mexican Wave(Photo: Spanish Civil War in September 1936.

On 15 October 1981, at a baseball game between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees in the USA, American cheerleader Krazy George Henderson got fans to stand up and sit down in sections around the stadium. Over the next few years, the cheer spread to supporters of other sports around the country. When crowds at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico joined in, it went global, earning the nickname the Mexican Wave. Rachel Naylor speaks to Krazy George about why he'd prefer we call it the Krazy Wave. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony. Sporting Witness is for those fascinated by sporting history. We take you to the events that have shaped the sports world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes, you become a fan in the stands as we take you back in time to examine memorable victories and agonising defeats from all over the world. You'll hear from people who have achieved sporting immortality, or those who were there as incredible sporting moments unfolded. Recent episodes explore the forgotten football Women's World Cup, the plasterer who fought a boxing legend, international football's biggest ever beating and the man who swam the Amazon river. We look at the lives of some of the most famous F1 drivers, tennis players and athletes as well as people who've had ground-breaking impact in their chosen sporting field, including: the most decorated Paralympian, the woman who was the number 1 squash player in the world for nine years, and the first figure skater to wear a hijab. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the tennis player who escaped the Nazis, how a man finally beat a horse in a race, and how the FIFA computer game was created.

So much went on in this episode, I had to say a little prayer at the end. We did a blind from DOC and lets just say it turned the episode into a real thing. Hope you enjoy.Patreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyhttps://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3Blue corn has emerged as a major trend in craft distilling, celebrated for introducing complex, bold alternative flavor profiles to American whiskey.Unlike mass-produced yellow dent corn (Yellow No. 2), which is maximized for crop yield and ethanol efficiency, heirloom blue corn varieties have been selected for generations entirely for human consumption and superior taste.Flavor ProfileBlue corn shifts the sensory boundaries of traditional whiskey, typically exhibiting the following characteristics:Earthy and Savory: It is notably less sweet and significantly more rustic, introducing deep, minerals-and-soil qualities to the spirit.Nutty and Oily: Due to a rich concentration of natural oils in the grain, blue corn creates a highly viscous, velvet mouthfeel. It often tastes of roasted nuts, toasted sugar, popcorn, and cocoa.Dark Fruits: Many distillers and reviewers note distinct dark fruit or "purple" traits, including heavy undertones of blackberry, plum, and blueberry compote.Challenges in DistillingWhile it creates an exceptional spirit, blue corn is notoriously difficult to work with for two main reasons:Low Yield: The heirloom crop generates far less fermentable starch per acre than industrial corn, making it far more expensive to source.The "Masa" Effect: During the mashing process, the heavy proteins and starches in blue corn create a thick, sticky paste (similar to tamale or tortilla dough). This frequently clogs distillation equipment and pipes.Prominent Distilleries and BottlesSeveral innovative distilleries have built high-profile releases around this grain:Balcones Distillery: The Texas craft pioneer was among the first to popularize the grain with their iconic Balcones Baby Blue. It is crafted from 100% roasted blue flint corn, displaying a heavy, buttery profile.Still Austin: Known for its highly coveted, seasonal winter Bottled-in-Bond Blue Corn Bourbon, which balances a high-rye mash bill with deep blueberry and brown sugar notes.Bluegrass Distillers: Based in Kentucky, their Blue Corn Bottled-in-Bond features a 75% blue corn mash bill that yields an earthy, bakery-fresh croissant and spice flavor profile.Smokeye Hill & Jeptha Creed: Both distilleries have captured industry attention with high-proof, single-barrel, or specialty heirloom blue corn expressions that lean heavily into savory old-school profiles.Mashing and distilling blue corn requires significant deviation from standard yellow corn workflows due to the unique structural properties of the grain.The Mashing ProcessTraditional raw corn consists of tightly packed, small starch granules that require substantial heat energy to unravel. Blue corn, specifically heirloom varieties like Hopi or Mexican atole, possesses a dense protein matrix and higher natural oil content that drastically alters mashing dynamics.High-Temperature GelatinizationBefore enzymes can convert corn starches into fermentable sugars, the grain must be gelatinized.The Workflow: Milled blue corn is mixed with water and heated to roughly 190°F to 200°F (88°C to 93°C). It must be held at this near-boiling temperature for 30 to 60 minutes to completely fracture the starch structures.The "Masa" Problem: As blue corn hits its gelatinization threshold, it binds water intensely. It transforms almost instantly into a thick, purple concrete-like paste. If left unchecked, this paste will burn onto the bottom of the mash cooker or seize up mechanical stirring paddles.

Britain's governing Labour Party has officially declared Andy Burnham its new leader paving the way for him to replace Keir Starmer as prime minister. In his first speech as leader, he pledged to 'bring back hope'. China's President Xi Jinping has called for global cooperation on the development of artificial intelligence to mitigate the risks it poses. India has begun operating its first ever hydrogen-powered train; it's hoped the green technology will help modernise one of the world's biggest rail networks. The Japanese parliament has approved a bill to relax imperial succession rules, amid concerns over the dwindling size of the imperial family. But it does not change the law barring women from ascending to the throne. An angry crowd has reportedly attacked a hospital housing an Ebola treatment centre, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, forcing patients and health workers to flee. A UK study of a minimally-invasive treatment for prostate cancer has found it is as effective as surgery or radiotherapy - but with far fewer side-effects. For the first time, astronomers have detected an atmosphere around an Earth-like rocky planet that could have water on its surface. And the great niece of the acclaimed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo expresses concern that the growing hype and merchandise connected with her image, might detract from her art.

Terrified Together with Chilluminati Podcast | Paranormal Podcast We teamed up with Jesse, Mike, and Alex from the Chilluminati podcast for this Terrified Together, and the five of us tackled two listener submissions that had the whole group going back and forth on where the line is between what the mind creates and what's actually out there. First up was Ash's story. Ash experienced what we believe was sleep paralysis and woke up with a prophetic certainty that a tall blonde woman with a knife was walking toward their house, and then years later in rural Alabama with their partner Elliot, started hearing wrong animal sounds, seeing glowing eyes at the tree line, and voices calling from the woods before a very bad night with an ATV and a gunshot made everything a lot more real. Then we got into Candela's story from New Mexico, where a 19-year-old college student near the Mexican border watched strange lights moving in sharp, jagged patterns across the sky on two separate nights. And then on the third occurrence, blacked out mid-sentence while fully awake and alert, only to come to three hours later sitting upright in the exact same position with her textbook still open on her lap and no explanation for where those hours went.

Leigh Ann's in menopause, and today's guests weren't helping matters. Dr Ray Addinall and Maps Maponyane both joined with dimples for days — the group chat was a flutter before anyone even said hello. Once things calmed down (slightly), Dr Ray cuts through the GLP-1 and peptide noise everyone's talking about, and Maps recaps the wildest week yet at the World Cup — friendly Mexicans, glorious food across the continent, and everything in between. Gareth, as ever, asks the questions everyone else is too polite to.

Cyclospora outbreak may be tied to Mexican lettuce used by Taco Bell, President Trump presents disturbing evidence or election tampering during last night's primetime address, the Florida Python Challenge wraps up in 2 days, The World Cup final is this weekend, a sex doll company is going to create AI teachers for a NY school district, and Rick's getting a new refrigerator...

President Donald Trump delivered a national address Thursday night focused primarily on claims of widespread election fraud. The president cited what he calls "brand new and irrefutable" evidence to support his claim. What sort of impact could this have on this year’s midterms? We get analysis from a roundtable of guests: Fred Hicks, Atlanta-based campaign strategist and demographer; Julianne Thompson, founder and president of Mainstreet Network Strategies and a longtime public affairs & government relations professional; and WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali. Plus, El Ponce owner Rosa Thurnher talks about the origins of her Mexican restaurant – and what the future holds for the Ponce de Leon Ave staple.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The fabulous Brandy Howard and Julie Goldman and I dive into the shocking photos of Jax Taylor getting incredibly cozy in a Mexican resort pool with Lori Krebs, the longtime publicist he shared with his estranged ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, who has officially fired her. We dissect how this messy betrayal was discovered, what it means for their co-parenting, and Julie chimes in with her unfiltered opinion on who the most hated man on The Valley really is. Plus, we discuss the toxic relationship dynamic surrounding Tom Sandoval and whether his claims of being a victim of domestic violence will completely tank his career or somehow help it. Then, we get into the financial nightmare over at the Kemsley household: PK is demanding the sole ability to sell their mansion before it hits foreclosure, but Dorit keeps putting it off. We also ask the ultimate question about the Real Housewives franchises, are these women completely self-producing and taking literal, physical falls just for camera attention? From the wild, drama-filled war between Taylor Frankie Paul and Whitney Leavitt, to a new OnlyFans moms show, to critical safety warnings about booking cruises, and a raw look at the new Netflix documentary exposing Crystal Harris's marriage to Hugh Hefner, we cover it all, before I wrap things up with my personal predictions on the Bonnie Blue train! -Download Cash App Today: ⁠https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/9l268n36 ⁠#CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

It's PID Radio's Throwback Thursday. Nearly 20 years ago, the Middle East—specifically Iran and Iraq—were at the center of the news cycle. Some things never change. Originally released February 25, 2007 WE'RE back with our first blather in weeks and it felt good to run through an hour of news analysis again! First things first: P.I.D. Radio will be here next week and for the foreseeable future. Thank you to everyone sent notes of support. It's truly humbling to know that this little homegrown show has reached around the world. We hope you had a chance to see The State Within on BBC America Saturday. The miniseries was a well-written and tightly directed political thriller that offers a glimpse into what might happen inside the halls of power in Washington, D.C. Wars are basically marketing ploys to drum up business for the military industrial complex back here at home. Meanwhile, it's back to blather on the news of the day. A remarkable development that has been little noticed by the major media: A group of American generals has apparently let it be known that they will quit if President Bush orders an attack on Iran. In addition, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Peter Pace, has said there is “no chance” of the U.S. going to war with Iran. In addition, a story that's set to break next week at the Intelligence Summit in Tampa reveals that Saddam had an active nuke program in 2002 and 2003. During the last six months of 2002, Saddam apparently built four very expensive nuclear storage and production facilities underneath the Euphrates River. Let's see how this is played in the media.

Four months ago when a New York Times investigation alleged that César Chavez – an icon of the Latino civil rights movement – had sexually assaulted young girls, the Latino community began to contend with his legacy. In St. Paul's West Side, which is a vibrant Mexican neighborhood, that means renaming César Chavez Street. Some of that work begins Thursday. The West Side Community Organization is hosting its first of three community input sessions to rename the street. West Side Community Organization Executive Director Monica Bravo spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about the renaming process.

Did the Aztecs have a concept of virtue? In this episode, we dive into a lively scholarly debate over the Nawatl phrase kwalli and yektli ("good" and "right") and whether it can properly be translated as "virtue." Examining colonial dictionaries, the Florentine Codex, the Wewetlahtolli, and the work of scholars from the sixteenth century to today, we explore the evidence for a distinctly Nawa ethical tradition. Along the way, we discuss the challenges of translating Indigenous philosophies and why understanding concepts, not just individual words, is essential to appreciating Nawatl thought.Sources:Anderson, Arthur J.

In this solo episode, I share about why I don't consider myself an expat, even though I moved from the United States to Mexico. I break down what the word "expat" actually means, who it tends to describe, and why I believe it's rooted in privilege. I also share why I see myself as an immigrant instead, coming back to the country my parents fled decades ago, and what it's been like navigating that identity almost a year into our move to México.For detailed show notes, visit vivalamami.com/episode168What You'll Hear:〰 The real definition of "expat" and who it typically applies to〰 Why being a daughter of Mexican immigrants changes my relationship to this move〰 The difference between cultural tourism and cultural immersion during your first year abroad〰 Why I believe "expat" is a privileged word that avoids the term "immigrant"Resources Mentioned:〰 Join the VLM newsletter for deeper reflections like this one〰 1:1 relocation consultations for families considering a move to Mexico〰 Send your thoughts: podcast@vivalamami.com or DM me on Instagram @vivalamamiSupport the showSHOP MY NEWEST PRODUCTS - "How to Get Dual Citizenship in Mexico" E-Guide & Digital Course

Mexico City may be enjoying its moment in the World Cup spotlight, but another story is unfolding beyond football. A steady stream of Americans are packing their bags for Tulum, Merida and Guanajuato. In today's episode, Mona speaks with Juan Felipe Sanchez of Mexico Business Lawyers about why Mexico has become such an attractive destination for Americans to relocate and invest.Having practised Mexican residency, real estate, and business law since 2007, Juan Felipe explains the real reasons behind the southern migration, including how remote work has changed the game and how 350k can buy you a foothold on the Mexican coast. Most importantly, he reveals the truth behind Mexico's property myths (no, you don't need to be Mexican to own beachfront real estate!).For anybody planning their retirement, weighing up a second home or looking for the practical guide to temporary and permanent residency south of the American border, this episode offers a first-hand briefing from someone who's lived and practiced it for nearly two decades.

Okay, for real, this episode is only vaguely about Raicilla. It's a bit more about profound justifications — that's a reference to a quote from my guest co-host, Shawn Miller of PKGD Group. He brings that quote up as we're talking about the white paper PKGD released a few weeks ago. That white paper is what this episode is really about. But who would listen to an episode titled, “The one about Shawn's white paper”? Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Shawn Miller of PKGD Group. Episode Notes Read “Built Right and Brought Right,” the white paper published by PKGD Group!

Last week, ICE agents killed a Mexican man in Houston, Texas, who was driving to work and was not the target of an ICE operation – despite what the Department of Homeland Security said initially. And yesterday, ICE agents in Maine killed a Colombian man who was legally permitted to work in the United States. He was also not the target of an operation. This marks two deaths at the hands of ICE officers in the last week alone. For more on what's behind the recent surge of ICE activity – and violence — we spoke to David Bier. He's the Director of Immigration Studies at the Cato Institute.And in headlines, Trump reverses course on charging ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh makes his first appearance before Congress, and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett testifies about the sharp increase in threats she's experienced since joining the nation's highest court.Show Notes: Check out David's work – cato.org/people/david-bier Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Bill Bodner spent 32 years as a DEA Special Agent. But it was a single 1995 wiretap operation in Los Angeles that changed the game forever. When a Mexican drug trafficking group began communicating through encrypted cell phones — a technology no one in law enforcement had encountered — his team made a call that would reshape DEA strategy for decades.

Another fatal shooting involving ICE agents occurred today in Maine. The shooting comes just days after an ICE agent fatally shot a Mexican immigrant during a traffic stop in Houston.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd is in for Mark. Sometimes things really are that simple. Today's version of the Democratic Party is the most dangerous yet. One of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's officials was supposed to meet with an Iranian official until Secretary Marco Rubio put the kibosh on it. Yes, the same Iran who are trying to assassinate President Trump,  The prosecutor in the Charlie Kirk trial presented overwhelming evidence against Tyler Robinson. Law enforcement have arrested 8 suspects in the White House UFC assassination plot, where the alleged ringleader is an illegal Mexican immigrant. Marco Rubio had ICE deport an illegal child rapist pardoned by Gov Tim Walz. And one of the main planks in the Democrat party platform is abortion on demand. All these things are tied to the political left in this country. This version of the Democratic Party is the most dangerous yet. Also, Democrats led the charge to defund police after George Floyd. Overall crime went up, murders went way up. When Joe Biden opened our borders to illegals, drug trafficking, property crime, and fraud all went up. And what do Democrats want to do about illegal criminal aliens? Abolish ICE. It's stunning how radicalized the Democratic Party has become. If we're not careful, the most dangerous party in our history will take control of Congress. Then, trust the process because Trump knows what he's doing. The cease fire with Iran is over, but pay attention to the price of oil. Price is truth. Even with the end of the ceasefire, oil is flowing through the Strait and the price of oil is way down. Trump is keeping Iran's money frozen, reimposing oil sanctions and might reimpose the blockade. Trust in Trump, trust the process, trust the price of oil. Finally, the Founding Fathers believed in Divine Providence for a good reason: why else would a bunch of farmers and merchants take on the most powerful empire on Earth...and win? Then, 250 years later, that same group of farmers and merchants became the most powerful nation in history. Our standard of living is the highest in the world. Only one explanation: Divine Providence. Our greatness comes from God, not from man. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
