Episodio #344. Estudió finanzas. Trabajó siete años en el sector financiero. Creía que su único camino era ser comisionista de bolsa. Hoy es doula y ha acompañado a 370 familias en el momento más vulnerable de sus vidas.Daniela Marmolejo es pionera del doulaismo en Medellín y estudiante de medicina china. Su camino no fue lineal: pasó de hacer informes de junta a preguntarse por qué hacía algo que no era su llamado del alma. Un viaje a Holanda la reconectó con la niña rebelde que había dejado relegada.En esta conversación exploramos qué significa desobedecer los mandatos sociales sobre el éxito, cómo se ve el mundo cuando despiertas al libreto que te entregaron, y por qué la incomodidad que generas en otros puede ser señal de que vas por buen camino.Su lema es una frase que te va a perseguir: "Una vez que lo ves, no lo puedes dejar de ver".Cambia cómo ves. Todo lo demás sigue.
Hablamos en Londres con Celia Maza, corresponsal de "La Razón", "El Confidencial" y Onda Cero; en Ciudad de México con Karolina Gilas, profesora de la UNAM, y en Medellín con Samuel Castro, crítico de "El Colombiano"

Hoy cerramos la serie de Los Diez Mandamientos desde la mirada de Jesús: no como reglas frías, sino como el marco de amor de un Padre que busca nuestro bien (“sus mandamientos no son gravosos”: 1 Jn 5:3). A través del joven rico (Lc 18), Jesús muestra que no basta “cumplir” por apariencia: lo que Dios mira es el corazón, lo que realmente amamos y a qué nos aferramos. La obediencia no compra salvación; es respuesta de amor a Cristo (“el que me ama… guarda mis mandamientos”: Jn 14:21).

Crime Defined is a series where we break down the law, one crime at a time. Each episode, we start by explaining exactly what a specific crime is — what makes it illegal, how it's defined under the law, and the consequences for those who commit it. Then, we dive into a real-life case, exploring someone who actually committed that crime, the investigation, and the impact of their actions. Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.In this episode, we're diving into the dark and dangerous world of drug trafficking and the man who became its most infamous kingpin — Pablo Escobar. We'll explore how Escobar built one of the most powerful and violent drug empires in history through the Medellín Cartel, flooding the United States and other countries with cocaine while accumulating unimaginable wealth and power.But behind the billions of dollars and global influence was a trail of corruption, fear, and thousands of lives lost. We'll talk about how his empire rose, the impact it had on Colombia and the world, and the events that ultimately led to his downfall.Follow us on all social media!Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/bucketmurdTwitter - https://twitter.com/TheMurderBucketInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/murdbucket/TikTok -https://www.tiktok.com/@murderbucketpodhttps://murderbucketpod.wordpress.com/

Brian Moncada (@thebrianmoncada on X) went viral when he revealed he now spends the same $7,500/month he used to pay just for rent in Miami — but in Medellín, Colombia, it funds an unbelievable quality-of-life upgrade: full-time nanny, private chef, boxing 3×/week, Pilates for his wife, classes for his daughter, a dedicated content & podcast studio, and walkable/Uber-easy city living.In this raw conversation, Brian breaks down: Why he left Miami and what the real math looks like How geographic arbitrage changed his family life and business freedom The pros/cons of building a high-ticket agency while living abroad Lessons from running masterminds in Medellín and scaling with YouTube adsIf you're a digital nomad, agency owner, content creator, or anyone tired of overpaying for average living in the U.S., this episode shows what's possible when you rethink location + money.
Wie ist es, in einem kleinen Fischerboot durch die Mangroven Cartagenas zu fahren? Wie verbunden sind die Menschen vor Ort mit der kolumbianischen Musik? Und wie fühlt und hört es sich an, durch die trubeligen, bunten Gassen der Altstadt zu laufen?In der zweiten Folge der Kolumbienreise ist Janna Olson wieder mit dem Mikro unterwegs - dieses Mal starten wir mit einem Gespräch mit dem Schweiz-Kolumbianischen Musiker Loco Escrito (Nicolás Herzig) über seine kolumbianischen Wurzeln - und darüber, warum er seinen neuen Song Colibri genannt hat. Und dann geht es zum letzten Stopp dieser Reise: Es geht in den Norden Kolumbiens, es geht nach Cartagena. Wir unternehmen eine Bootstour mit Nina durch die Mangroven in La Boquilla, sprechen mit den Menschen vor Ort über ihr Leben in diesem kleinen Fischerort im Norden Cartagenas, erleben die kolumbianischen Trommelrhythmen und folgen Juliana, die uns ihre Heimatstadt zeigt.

Ce 8 mars 2026, les Colombiens sont appelés aux urnes pour renouveler le Congrès. Parmi les candidats, nombreux sont ceux qui se sont d'abord fait connaître sur les réseaux sociaux. Ces créateurs de contenu, ancrés à gauche ou à droite, sont devenus de véritables références politiques pour leur génération, au point de façonner les opinions et de mobiliser les foules. Entre mèmes, threads éducatifs et lives militants, une nouvelle forme d'engagement politique est en train de naître. De notre correspondante à Medellín, Smartphone en main, en mode selfie, Hernan Muriel ne rate rien du cortège qui défile ce jour-là pour défendre les 23 % de hausse du salaire minimum. Flanqué d'un t-shirt noir au logo du Pacte historique, la coalition de gauche du président Gustavo Petro, Hernan Muriel commente la scène à ses centaines de milliers d'abonnés. « Allez, cessons d'être si complaisants, interpelle-t-il sur la vidéo. Soit on penche du côté de ceux qui sont en train de faire s'effondrer le pays, en augmentant la pauvreté, en creusant les écarts d'inégalité, soit nous penchons de l'autre côté, du côté du peuple, et de celui qui veut augmenter le salaire minimum, celui qui a historiquement réduit la pauvreté monétaire et l'extrême pauvreté.» Avant de s'engager dans la campagne électorale en cours, Hernan Muriel, 28 ans, militait déjà sur les réseaux sociaux. Il s'est d'ailleurs appuyé sur eux pour fonder le mouvement Cofradía para el Cambio : « Aujourd'hui, je suis candidat pour le Pacte historique. Je veux représenter le Pacte historique à la Chambre des représentants du département d'Antioquia ». Son compte TikTok affiche aujourd'hui près de 400 000 abonnés et celui d'Instagram plus de 195 000, essentiellement des jeunes. Certaines de ses vidéos sont vues des millions de fois. À lire aussiColombie: la violence s'intensifie à l'approche des élections législatives « D'une certaine manière, cela a permis le triomphe de Petro » Le phénomène intéresse les chercheurs de la fondation Pares. « En Colombie, YouTube, Facebook et TikTok sont devenus les principaux moyens d'information de la population en général, analyse Isaac Morales, spécialiste des questions de la démocratie et de la gouvernance au sein de la fondation. Et un grand nombre de jeunes ont accès à ces réseaux ou aux réseaux sociaux en général. Cela permet d'avoir une audience bien plus grande que celle d'il y a cinq ou dix ans. » L'influence directe de ces candidats issus des réseaux sociaux reste difficile à mesurer. Pour le chercheur, leur pouvoir de mobilisation auprès des électeurs est indéniable : « Non seulement en Colombie, mais dans plusieurs pays d'Amérique latine et du monde, les partis politiques sont conscients de la grande influence des réseaux sociaux et se tournent vers ce type de profils et de personnages qui peuvent apporter des votes. Mais, ce que nous avons vu, c'est que ce n'est pas toujours le cas. En effet, lors des élections de 2022, beaucoup d'influenceurs se sont lancés en politique et beaucoup n'ont pas réussi à obtenir de mandat. Mais lors de la grève nationale en 2019 et 2021, on a vu une grande couverture de l'évènement sur les réseaux sociaux et surtout de la part des jeunes très proches du projet du président Gustavo Petro. D'une certaine manière, cela a permis le triomphe de Petro. » Dimanche 8 mars, plus de 3 000 candidats se disputeront les 103 sièges du Sénat et les 183 sièges de la Chambre des représentants, une bataille qui s'annonce serrée.

En Colombie, la présidentielle est prévue en mai 2026, mais avant cela, ce dimanche 8 mars, un autre épisode électoral fera figure de galop d'essai pour les partis. Les législatives, mais aussi des primaires pour plusieurs formations politiques se tiennent. L'enjeu qui cristallise toutes les tensions, c'est la situation économique marquée par une violence qui progresse sans cesse. En ce début d'année 2026, une mesure enflamme les débats : la hausse historique du salaire minimum de 23,7%. Notre correspondante à Medellín, Najet Benrabaa, a suivi une manifestation dans les rues de la ville à laquelle participaient des manifestants venus de toute la Colombie. Une ONG alerte sur les persécutions politiques au Salvador L'ONG Cristosal qui a elle-même dû fuir le pays, en juillet 2025, à cause de menaces et d'intimidations de la part du gouvernement, a publié hier (jeudi 5 mars), une enquête dont se fait l'écho La Prensa grafica et qui démontre que « la criminalisation des voix critiques est utilisée comme outil de répression ». Des défenseurs des droits humains, des militants de la cause environnementale, des syndicalistes, des représentants des peuples autochtones, des personnalités politiques, des journalistes, des juges ou bien encore des fonctionnaires... Depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Nayib Bukele, en 2019, au moins 245 personnes ont été victimes de persécutions politiques, relève El Faro, autre journal salvadorien en exil. L'exil, mais aussi l'autocensure, et dans le pire des cas, la mort, voilà les conséquences de « l'usage systématique du pouvoir punitif de l'État pour réduire au silence l'opposition au Salvador », écrit Cristosal. Des prisonniers politiques au Salvador Dans les trois-quarts des cas recensés par l'ONG, les victimes ont dû faire face à des poursuites judiciaires. « 86 personnes sont actuellement détenues et seules 7 ont été condamnés lors de procès similiaires à ceux qui ont lieu au Nicaragua et au Venezuela », précise Cristosal dans son rapport. Il s'agit là de l'échelon ultime dans l'appareil répressif mis sur pied par Nayib Bukele, insiste El Faro. Le premier niveau de pression, c'est le harcèlement, les intimidations et les menaces. Puis on passe sur le terrain judiciaire, mais avec des poursuites pour des délits tel que l'enrichissement illicite ou pour des fautes éthiques. Enfin, les poursuites pour crimes devant un tribunal. Et parfois ces pressions s'exercent sur les proches de la personne ciblée par le gouvernement, explique encore Cristosal. Le fameux modèle Bukele que tant de dirigeants dans la région cite en exemple, a « pour règle fondamentale la concentration du pouvoir et l'élimination de tout contrepoids », juge El Faro. Un système pénitentiaire corrompu Le dernier numéro d'El Faro est sorti le 1er mars 2026. À lire, notamment, une interview de l'homme d'affaires salvadorien Catalino Miranda. Interview réalisée en mai 2023, dans un hôpital privé où l'homme séjournait alors qu'il allait parfaitement bien et alors qu'il était censé être en prison. Un traitement de faveur que Catalino Miranda a obtenu en payant 35.000 dollars à l'administration pénitentiaire, par l'intermédiaire d'un trafiquant de drogue. « Le système pénitentiaire de [Nayib Bukele] qui vend ses prisons comme un modèle à imiter est un système corrompu », dénonce une fois encore El Faro. En prison, on paye pour tout : recevoir du courrier, des visites... Et le prix dépend de ses ressources. Alors pourquoi le journal a-t-il attendu près de trois ans pour sortir cet entretien ? C'est parce que Catalino Miranda avait posé une condition à ses confessions. « S'ils me tuent, vous pourrez tout publier ». « Il ne dit pas "si je meurs", il dit "s'ils me tuent" et il fait référence à un système pour faire pression et torturer psychologiquement les prisonniers », écrit El Faro. Catalino Miranda est mort d'un cancer, le 29 septembre 2025. Affaire Epstein: publication de rapports du FBI concernant des allégations contre D. Trump Le ministère américain de la Justice a publié hier (jeudi 5 mars) de nouveaux documents dans l'affaire Epstein dans lesquels le nom de Donald Trump apparaît. Comme le raconte le New York Times, ce sont des documents du FBI, des notes dactylographiées qui relatent les quatre « entretiens menés par le FBI en 2019 avec une femme qui affirme avoir été agressée sexuellement par Donald Trump et Jeffrey Epstein ». Les faits se seraient produits dans les années 80, alors qu'elle était adolescente. Des accusations non corroborées comme beaucoup d'autres dans les documents de l'affaire Epstein, souligne le New York Times. Petite révolution au Venezuela Mercredi 4 mars 2026, à Caracas, les portes du palais présidentiel se sont ouvertes à la presse indépendante, rapporte Tal Cual qui était de la partie. Cela n'a pas été facile : « Il a fallu que l'ambassade des États-Unis insiste pour que la visite du ministre américain de l'Intérieur bénéficie de la plus grande couverture médiatique possible », raconte le journal en ligne. « La dernière fois qu'un journaliste de Tal Cual a pénétré dans le palais de Miraflores, aucun des membres actuels de la rédaction n'était en poste. Certains d'entre nous n'avaient même pas encore fini leurs études. C'était il y a 15 ans », ironise Tal Cual. Alors même si la presse n'a pas pu poser de questions après la déclaration conjointe de Delcy Rodriguez et du ministre étasunien, Tal Cual espère que cela se reproduira et que désormais les autorités vénézuéliennes accorderont des interviews à tous les médias. En Haïti, le secteur du sel à l'arrêt L'agriculture est un secteur en déperdition en Haïti à cause de l'instabilité politique persistante et des violences perpétrées par les gangs. Un chiffre qui l'illustre, c'est celui de l'insécurité alimentaire aiguë qui touche plus d'un habitant sur deux, selon l'ONU, soit près de 6 millions de personnes. Ceux qui pâtissent aussi de cette situation, ce sont les producteurs dans le secteur du sel, par exemple. Le département de l'Artibonite assure à lui seul plus de 70% de la production annuelle. Les trois principales zones de production sont Grande-Saline, Anse-Rouge et Gonaïves. Sauf qu'en raison de l'insécurité, de nombreuses familles se retrouvent totalement démunies, comme nous l'explique Ronel Paul. Les routes étant trop dangereuses ou bloqués par les gangs, les acheteurs se font rares. Les producteurs se retrouvent contraints d'écouler leur production sur les marchés locaux plus petits ou de constituer des stocks. Conséquence : ils ont du mal à payer leurs employés. Ce secteur au fort potentiel économique, se sent abandonné des autorités. Le journal de la 1ère En Martinique, la campagne sucrière 2026 a commencé.

Send a textWhat does a night really cost?In this solo episode of The Sober Butterfly Podcast, Nadine shares reflections from a recent trip to Dubai that sparked a powerful realization about sobriety. After being mistaken for a sex worker in an elevator the night before Ramadan — when a man asked her “how much for a night” — she began thinking deeply about the hidden cost of her nights when she used to drink compared to the nights she experiences now in sobriety.Nadine contrasts her calm, grounded response in sobriety with a similar experience from 2020 in Medellín at The Click Clack Hotel, when she was drinking, spiraled emotionally, and was initially denied entry because staff assumed she was a sex worker. Through these parallel moments, she explores identity, self-trust, and how sobriety changes internal reactions to external events.This episode breaks down:The financial and emotional cost of drinkingHangovers, anxiety, shame, and lost timeThe hidden price of numbing emotionsWhat sobriety actually costs (vulnerability, discomfort, growth)What sobriety gives back (peace, confidence, clarity, mornings)Writing a breakup letter to alcoholHow to reflect on your own relationship with drinkingNadine also reads an excerpt from a breakup letter to alcohol and invites listeners to consider: How much do your nights cost?If you are sober curious, alcohol-free, or questioning your relationship with drinking, this episode will resonate deeply.Sponsors
Christian Carmona grew up in Medellín's infamous Barrio Antioquia—an area known for prostitution, gambling, and later, cocaine. In this episode, Christian tells the inside story of a Colombian cocaine dynasty that quietly expanded from Medellín to Miami… and even Portland, Oregon. Raised “Americanized” in the suburbs, Christian didn't learn the truth about his father's criminal enterprise until federal agents came crashing down in 1991—taking both of his parents at once. From cartel-era Miami strategies (stash houses, mules, low-profile living) to family-wide trafficking ties and the chaos of the early 90s, Christian lays out how the business really worked behind the scenes. The story gets even wilder when Christian later gets pulled back into the orbit of his father's old associates—working at a bank where traffickers allegedly used safety deposit boxes to stash cash and kilos. A setup, a sting, and years of court delays later, Christian describes spending nearly four years incarcerated while prosecutors tried to force him to cooperate. This is a raw conversation about family, loyalty, survival, and redemption—plus how Christian found faith and wrote his book Zeal while locked up.

En este episodio, Isabel Giraldo nos contó como ha sido vivr su cuerpo. Hablamos de la presión asfixiante de crecer en Medellín (aunque sea la ciudad que ama, y de la que se siente orgullosa), y de todas las heridas que se le despiertan cada vez que vuelve. También hablamos de ese miedo paralizante de ponerse un vestido de baño frente a las amigas y de la realidad de habitar un cuerpo gordo en un sistema que nos exige ser 'perfectas' para ser vistas.Pusimos sobre la mesa el tema de la cirugía bariátrica, la soltería y ese 'pajazo mental' que nos echamos diciendo que la mirada del otro no nos importa, cuando la verdad es que nos atraviesa por completo. Este episodio no tiene respuestas, pero sí muchas preguntas necesarias para dejar de vivir en piloto automático y empezar a entender que nuestro cuerpo no es un problema que hay que solucionar.#haes #cuerpo #amorpropio #selfcare #dieta #fitness

Ai summary for seo ~ Latin America is a sprawling, high-contrast mosaic that defies any single label, offering a lifestyle that is as exhausting as it is exhilarating. To live here as a "gringo" is to enter a world where the social fabric is woven with deep-seated warmth and a collective resilience that prioritizes human connection over rigid schedules. Whether you are navigating the high-altitude Andean peaks or the humid pulse of a Caribbean coastline, you'll find a culture that operates on the "Tranquilo" principle—a fluid approach to time where bureaucracy is slow, but the coffee is fresh, the music is loud, and the people are genuinely curious about your story. It is a region that rewards the flexible and punishes the impatient. For those looking to plant roots, the "Gringo Trail" has evolved into a sophisticated network of hubs catering to different flavors of expatriate life. Mexico City and Medellín remain the heavyweights for digital nomads seeking cosmopolitan energy, world-class gastronomy, and robust infrastructure. Meanwhile, places like the Sacred Valley in Peru or the coastlines of Costa Rica offer a more soul-searching, "Pura Vida" existence focused on wellness and nature. In 2026, the influx of remote workers has pushed prices up in trendy neighborhoods like Roma Norte or El Poblado, but the cost of living still offers a "luxury-for-less" trade-off that is nearly impossible to find in the US or Europe, particularly regarding private healthcare and domestic services. However, the transition isn't always seamless, and "gringo" life requires a specific mental toolkit to navigate safely and respectfully. Safety is the most common concern, but it is often more about "situational awareness" than dodging cartels; it's about learning not to "give papaya"—local slang for not making yourself an easy target by flashing wealth. Beyond security, there is the hurdle of the "Gringo Tax," where foreigners are often quoted higher prices. Integration is the only cure for this; those who bother to learn the local Spanish (or Portuguese in Brazil) and respect the formal etiquette of the Usted find that the "foreigner" label eventually softens into that of a "local friend," unlocking a much deeper, more authentic version of the city. Ultimately, living in Latin America is an exercise in trading "First World" convenience for "Real World" vibrancy. You might lose a day to a confusing bank errand or a sudden power outage, but you'll gain a life filled with spontaneous Sunday asados, vibrant street markets, and a sense of community that makes the hyper-individualism of the North feel sterile by comparison. It is a place where the infrastructure might be crumbling in spots, but the spirit is unbreakable. If you can handle the noise, the spicy food, and the occasional chaos, it offers a richness of experience that makes it one of the most rewarding regions on earth to call home. #travel #travelblogger #nomad #latinamerica #expat #wifimoney
Welcome back to New Dad Gaming! This week, Trevor and Jeff are surviving the wild energy of their kids—who are currently acting like Red Bull-fueled boars at a banquet. With the family adjusting to life down in Medellín, the guys discuss bribing the kids with $100 to learn Spanish on Duolingo and how this educational "loophole" is racking up screen time. We also dive into the beautiful peace of a post-Roblox household, which has led the kids right back to the classics like Pokémon Sword and EA FC. On the adult gaming front, Nintendo is testing our patience (and wallets) by charging a premium for retro Pokémon Fire Red ports, Trevor confesses to a slightly guilty relapse into Marvel Snap, Jeff returns to the Final Fantasy 14 grind, and we confront the terrifying reality of a 15-year-old pirating Balatro on school computers.

En esta ocasión vamos a intentar analizar el nacimiento, auge y caída del terrible Cartel de Medellín. Uno de los grupos de narcotraficantes más famosos de la historia que aterrorizaron a Colombia durante décadas y crearon un imperio de la droga global. Esperamos que os guste. La música ha sido creada, registrada y cedida por nuestro querido amigo y gran compositor Sir Edward Madrid.
Send a textWant to know how a journalist turns a region into a calling and a career? We sit down with bilingual writer and editor Carly Rojas Avila to unpack how she built a trusted niche in Latin American travel, food, and spirits—earning bylines with Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and hundreds of syndications—while keeping her work deeply human in a noisy media world.Carly traces her path from storytelling in marketing to reporting across Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, and Ecuador, explaining why narrowing her focus actually expanded opportunity. We explore Medellín's energy and innovation, Ecuador's overlooked mainland beyond the Galápagos, and how local kitchens and bars act as cultural translators. Carly shares why interviews beat email quotes, how chefs and bartenders carry memory and identity, and what makes a pitch stand out in travel and spirits: a clear why, timely context, and respect for the reader.We also dive into building direct lines to audiences with two new Substacks—one connecting PR and media needs, the other a home for Latin American travel insights that don't fit traditional formats. Carly offers candid advice on starting newsletters without editor guardrails, staying anchored to a personal why to avoid burnout, and setting smart criteria for press trips when time and attention are scarce. She closes with the growth that comes from living abroad, learning Spanish on the street as much as in class, and stretching into new outlets—including her first published story in Spanish.If you care about travel journalism, culinary storytelling, or pitching that actually gets read, this conversation delivers practical takeaways and fresh perspective.

Nuestra invitada en el episodio #340 de Máximo Desempeño es Juliana Correa Carmona, psicóloga-sexóloga y creadora de EnConfianza.Pero lo interesante no es que atienda personas en más de quince países ni que hable con naturalidad de lo que la mayoría evita: sexualidad, emociones, relaciones y todo lo que cuesta decir en voz alta. Lo interesante es lo que pasó antes.Juliana siempre tuvo sueños enormes. El problema no era la idea — era el miedo a no poder ejecutarla. Por eso, aunque ya había creado EnConfianza, la dejó en segundo plano mientras trabajaba como coordinadora de convivencia en un colegio de Medellín. Durante tres años intentó hacer las dos cosas. Dormía cinco horas. Comía cuando podía. Su cuerpo se inflamó.Hasta que un día se hizo la pregunta que lo cambió todo: '¿Cuándo voy a hacer lo que quiero?'. Y sintió que se le estaba acabando la Juliana que necesitaba para cumplir su propio sueño.En este episodio descubrimos:* La diferencia entre prepararte con intención y esconderte detrás de la preparación.* Qué pasa cuando tu cuerpo grita lo que tu mente se niega a escuchar.* Cómo hablar de lo que nadie quiere hablar: sexualidad, emociones, y todo lo que cuesta decir en voz alta.* Por qué toda promesa de éxito rápido es vacía."Lo que estoy creando es más grande que yo, y lo hago posible hoy". Cambia cómo ves. Todo lo demás sigue.
En el páramo de Belmira, al norte de Antioquia, las científicas Sandra Uribe y Alejandra Clavijo encontraron una diversidad inesperada de mariposas. Hallaron especies nuevas para la ciencia e identificaron adaptaciones al páramo. Las alas de estos insectos, por ejemplo, tienden a ser oscuras para atraer la luz del sol y calentarse en el frío que hace en la alta montaña, a más de 3 mil metros sobre el nivel del mar. Las mariposas y polillas son bioindicadoras: revelan el estado de un ecosistema. Su ciclo de vida —huevo, oruga, pupa y adulto— depende estrechamente de plantas específicas. Cuando la deforestación o el cambio en las coberturas vegetales alteran sus hábitats, las mariposas lo perciben de inmediato. Por eso estudiarlas permite entender qué tan afectados están los bosques y qué medidas tomar para conservarlos. Sandra Inés Uribe Soto es ingeniera agrónoma con doctorado en Ciencias Biomédicas, profesora de la Escuela de Biociencias de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Medellín y coordinadora de la Maestría en Ciencias-Entomología. Dirige el Insectario-Mariposario de la universidad y el Museo Entomológico Francisco Luis Gallego. Su trabajo abarca la entomología médica, forense y la conservación de insectos como bioindicadores. Alejandra Clavijo Giraldo es bióloga de la Universidad de Antioquia e investigadora de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia sede Medellín. Se especializa en taxonomía y ecología de mariposas y polillas, con énfasis en ecosistemas de alta montaña. Ha participado en el descubrimiento de especies nuevas en los Andes colombianos y es coautora de la Guía de mariposas del campus El Volador.

Stephanie Fortunato, speaks with Conrado Uribe about the power of networks to break cycles of isolation – and to make “collective imagination” a practical force in how cities evolve. Moving from Medellín to Barcelona to a Latin America-wide network of cultural districts, Conrado reflects on collaboration, governance, and why the real foundations of a district are its people, not its buildings.External references:Conexiones Creativas: Conrado's organisation, designing and delivering projects to strengthen cultural and creative ecosystems. Plataforma de Distritos Creativos y Culturales: The network platform Conrado describes, supporting exchanges across creative districts in the Americas and Europe. Campus Colombias: The convening format Conrado references as a catalyst moment in the organisation's early years. Museo de Antioquia: Museum at the centre of Conrado's Medellín experience and a key cultural anchor in the city. MDE – Encuentro Internacional de Arte de Medellín: The four-year international art encounter organised by Museo de Antioquia, referenced in the episode's Medellín context. LOOP Barcelona: The moving-image platform and festival Conrado mentions as a formative collaboration-led model. Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: The “humans succeed through collaboration” framing Conrado references via Harari's work. “Scenius, or Communal Genius” (Wired): A widely cited explainer of Brian Eno's idea of “scenius” that Conrado invokes (collective creativity over lone genius). About our guest:Conrado Uribe Pereira, is a curator and cultural strategist, and Content Director at Conexiones Creativas, the Colombia-founded platform behind a growing network of creative and cultural districts across Latin America and parts of Southern Europe. In the episode, he traces how his work in Medellín (including at the Museo de Antioquia) and later in Barcelona shaped his conviction that districts succeed when they invest first in talent (“software”), then governance (“artware”), and only then in infrastructure. +

As violence erupts around the world, how must we respond to those who worship power? In Venezuela, global power has reshaped lives overnight, and Elizabeth Sendek and Julio Isaza join Mark Labberton to reflect on faith, fear, and Christian witness amid political upheaval in Latin America. "It made me question, if power is the ultimate good, then questions of morality or theology have no place. We have chosen our idol." Together they discuss how experiences of dictatorship, displacement, and pastoral caution shape Christian responses to invasion and regime change; the relationship between power and idolatry; the moral realities that come with violent and nonviolent action; fear and pastoral responsibility; the global impact of diaspora and migration; how prayer informs action; and how the church bears faithful witness under ruthless power. –––––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "It made me question, if power is the ultimate good, then questions of morality or theology have no place. We have chosen our idol." "Prayer is a spiritual resource, valuable, needed, urgent every day, in times of peace and in times of crisis." "Prayer must also go alongside personal and collective actions in the defense of life, justice, freedom, reconciliation, and peace." "They are very cautious, because they are not sure who is in control." "We should not normalize violence just because it has always existed in history." –––––––––––––––––– About Elizabeth Sendek Elizabeth Sendek is a theologian and educator specializing in Latin American Christianity, theology and power, and the church's public witness under political violence. Her work draws from lived experience across Latin America, particularly contexts shaped by dictatorship, corruption, displacement, and ecclesial resilience. She has taught theology in academic and pastoral settings, engaging questions of ethics, political theology, and Christian responsibility in fragile societies. Sendek is widely respected for her ability to connect historical memory, biblical theology, and contemporary crises, especially regarding migration, authoritarianism, and Christian hope. Her scholarship and public engagement consistently emphasize prayer joined with concrete action, resisting both naïveté and cynicism. She speaks regularly to churches, students, and leaders seeking faithful responses to power and suffering. About Julio Isaza Julio Isaza, born in Colombia, is married to Katie Isaza and is the father of Samuel and Benjamin. He served with the Covenant Church of Colombia from 1995 to 2006 and later earned a master of divinity degree in Chicago, where he lived for six years. Between 2012 and 2015, he worked in the formation of university students and young professionals with Serve Globally in Medellín, Colombia. From 2016 to 2025, he served in peace-building processes in conflict areas of Colombia and also as a professor at the Biblical Seminary of Colombia, teaching in the areas of missional theology, cultural context, and holistic impact strategies. During this time, he also worked with Indigenous communities in the Colombian rainforest, engaging in oral theology initiatives. His work has focused on holistic discipleship, theological education, and peace-building. He holds a master's degree in Conflict and Peace from the University of Medellín and is currently pursuing a PhD in Theology and Peace at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies in England. A US citizen, he resides in Minnesota with his family, where he is writing his doctoral dissertation titled "Cultivating Integral (Biblical) Peace in a Context of Socio-environmental Violence." –––––––––––––––––– Helpful Links And Resources Princeton Theological Seminary https://www.ptsem.edu Psalm 73 (New International Version) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+73&version=NIV Brownsville Covenant Church (David Swanson) https://www.brownsvillecovenant.org Christians for Social Action https://christiansforsocialaction.org –––––––––––––––––– Show Notes News of Venezuelan invasion and presidential extrication Awakening to international headlines and Colombian news coverage Power displacing morality and theology "It made me question, if power is the ultimate good, then questions of morality or theology have no place." "We have chosen our idol." Violence beyond headlines and unseen civilian consequences Personal stories from Caracas neighbourhoods and bomb damage "You see in the news about Maduro taken, but you don't see the consequences of what happened." "Some of her family was killed in Caracas because of the bombs." Childhood shaped by armed conflict in rural Colombia Guerrilla groups, military raids, and forced displacement Paramilitary violence and state-backed terror in towns "When I was a child, I would draw helicopters and militaries killing each other." Conversion shaped by studying the life of Jesus "When I began to study the gospel, I thought that Jesus's way is not a violent way." Pastoral caution under volatile political regimes Fear shaping Christian speech and public silence "For the sake of my congregation, I cannot voice any opinion." Churches continuing ministry amid uncertainty "They agreed that this time is an opportunity to share the gospel of hope." Prayer as resistance and sustenance "Prayer is a spiritual resource, valuable, needed, urgent every day, in times of peace and in times of crisis." Prayer joined with embodied action "Prayer must also go alongside personal and collective actions in the defense of life, justice, freedom, reconciliation, and peace." Long histories of dictatorship shaping Latin American theology Skepticism toward purely academic liberation theology Credibility rooted in lived solidarity with the poor Diaspora pressure and forced return narratives "Now people say Venezuelans can go back to their own country." Xenophobia and fear within host communities Displacement as ongoing trauma for migrant families Scripture shaping hope amid cynicism "When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply, till I entered the sanctuary of God." Refusing to normalize power's violence "Our call is not to normalize it, nor to declare it an act of God." –––––––––––––––––– #FaithAndPolitics #LatinAmerica #ChristianWitness #PowerAndViolence #Venezuela #ChurchAndState #PublicTheology Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Broadcasting from the streets of Medellín, we dive into Latin America's reaction to the stunning removal of Nicolás Maduro, and the strange new reality taking shape in Caracas. Is this regime change, an oil grab, or something far more experimental? We're joined again by Latin America analyst Juan Gabriel Tokatlian, who argues this is the birth of something unprecedented: a U.S.-managed protectorate where Washington negotiates directly with whoever actually holds power,the military and the Chavista elite, while keeping a “second round” of force on the table. From China's billions now stuck at the back of the queue, to the return of 17th-century-style capitalism where corporations and states move as one, we explore what Venezuelans, Colombians, and the wider region fear comes next. If Maduro is gone… who's really in charge now — and for how long? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
