When the Medellin Metro opened in 1995, the Colombian city had recently been called the “murder capital of the world” due to the high homicide rate caused by Pablo Escobar's drug wars.

It has helped transform the city into a tourist hot-spot – something unimaginable 30 years ago. Tim O'Callaghan has been speaking to Tomas Andreas Elejalde, who is the general manager of the Metro.

In 1949, the Gratitude Train arrived in the United States, made up of 49 wagons filled with thousands of gifts from France.The convoy was a thank-you to American families who'd sent food and supplies across the Atlantic, via a ‘friendship train' in the aftermath of World War Two.It was the idea of a French railworker called Andre Picard. In the same spirit as the friendship train, he asked families across France to make donations.The response was 52,000 gifts that filled 49 rail wagons or ‘boxcars', one for each US state, and to be distributed to American families. Some donations were valuable; a carriage used by King Louis XV. Others were handmade; a knitted scarf or a child's painting.June Cutchins tells Jane Wilkinson about the treasure her family received from the Florida boxcar.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

The Author Events Series presents Mike Sielski | Magic in the Air REGISTER In Conversation with Buzz Bissinger The evolution of basketball, and much of the social and cultural change in America, can be traced through one powerful act on the court: the slam dunk. The dunk's history is the story of a sport and a country changed by the most dominant act in basketball, and it makes Magic in the Air a rollicking and insightful piece of narrative history and a surefire classic of sports literature. When basketball was the province of white men, the dunk acted as a revolutionary agent, a tool for players like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell to transform the sport into a Black man's game. The dunk has since been an expression of Black culture amid the righteous upheaval of the civil-rights movement, of the threat that Black people were considered to be to the establishment. It was banned from college basketball for nearly a decade--an attempt to squash the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport in America's cities and on its playgrounds. The dunk nevertheless bubbled up to basketball's highest levels. From Julius Erving to Michael Jordan to the high flyers of the 21st century, the dunk has been a key mechanism for growing the NBA into a global goliath. Drawing on deep reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and other hoops experts, Magic in the Air brings to life the tale of the dunk while balancing sharp socio-racial history and commentary with a romp through American sports and culture. There's never been a basketball book quite like it. MIKE SIELSKI is a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer and the author of four books. The Associated Press Sports Editors voted him the country's top sports columnist in 2015, and his previous book, The Rise: Kobe Bryant and the Pursuit of Immortality, was published in 2022. Sielski lives in Bucks County, Pa., with his wife and two sons. Buzz Bissinger is among the nation's most honored and distinguished writers. A native of New York City, Buzz is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Livingston Award, the American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award and the National Headliners Award, among others. He also was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He is the author of the highly acclaimed nonfiction books: Friday Night Lights, A Prayer for the City, Three Nights in August, Shooting Stars and Father's Day. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast. Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. All tickets are non-refundable. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night!

What's the secret to building discipline that actually sticks? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Congressman Wesley Hunt shares his no-nonsense approach to developing mental toughness through daily physical challenges. We discuss why sweating every single day is non-negotiable - even if it means walking five miles on a treadmill after a steak dinner. We also explore his "just do it consistently" philosophy, the power of accomplishment psychology, and why he chooses intermittent fasting and strategic workout timing over perfection. Wesley Hunt represents Congressional District 38 in Houston, Texas. A West Point graduate and former Apache helicopter pilot with three master's degrees from Cornell, Hunt served eight years in the Army before entering politics. He recently interviewed for Secretary of Defense and continues to serve on the House Judiciary and Natural Resources committees. What we discuss: The "sweat every day" rule for building discipline Why consistency beats perfection in fitness routines Using superficial goals (beach body) as legitimate motivation Michael Jordan's self-motivation mind tricks One meal a day strategy for busy travel schedules Working out between noon and 4 PM vs. morning routines Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

Lina Khan has inspired an unusually bipartisan coalition of allies — and antagonists. As chair of the Federal Trade Commission, she became known as the most hated regulator on Wall Street. As too principled for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Too bold for Ticketmaster and the NCAA. But Khan isn't done taking on the corporate class — or finding strange bedfellows like Steve Bannon and Michael Jordan. Can her alleged "hipster anti-trust" movement inspire a "standing army" for the people? And could she be our next Supreme Court justice? Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Jordan is widely hailed as the greatest basketball player of all time. Six championships. Five MVPs. Countless iconic moments. But behind the highlight reels and sneaker ads lies a shadowy side to his story — one filled with whispers, unanswered questions, and conspiracies that still spark debate today.In Episode 114, the boys dive deep into the legends and mysteries surrounding His Airness. From the infamous “push-off” on Bryon Russell in the 1998 Finals to claims of referee favoritism and league manipulation, they explore the widely held belief that Jordan played by a different set of rules — one enforced not just by talent, but by NBA interests desperate to protect their biggest star.The episode unpacks the theory that Jordan's first retirement in 1993 wasn't voluntary at all, but a quiet suspension related to his high-stakes gambling and potential ties to underworld figures. The timing of his exit — just after the murder of his father, James Jordan — only added fuel to the fire. Was it a tragic coincidence, or something darker?peel back the polished image and ask: was the NBA protecting its icon at all costs?Whether you're a die-hard Bulls fan or a skeptic of sports narratives, this episode takes you into the murky waters where fame, power, and truth collide.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam recounts his trip to Palm Springs and how his electric car ran out of battery in the middle of the night. That story sparks a rant about California's looming EV mandate and Gavin Newsom's lawsuit against Trump for canceling it. Adam then tells a hilarious story about “accidentally” giving his vegetarian staff meat tacos and explains his biggest beef with ESPN. He also reacts to a cringeworthy Bill Maher clip featuring Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar, and closes out the segment with some sharp observations about Stephen A. Smith's mustache and the possible reasoning behind Michael Jordan's infamous 'stache.In the news, Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins Adam to cover Joe Rogan's claim that two former presidents contacted Spotify over his COVID commentary—which ironically boosted his podcast by 2 million subscribers. They also react to MrBeast's outrageous $500K date night at an empty Disneyland and discuss Candace Cameron Bure's fear that scary movies open portals to Hell. Adam wraps the news segment with a story about the time he was the most terrified in his life, then continues with a breakdown of the recent Indian plane crash. He reacts to a viral video of white protestors blocking a Black woman from getting to work, unleashes a fiery rant on the entitlement of modern-day activists, and explains why he—and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—believe running over protestors who block traffic might just be justified.

After the Second World War, in what was then East Germany, or the German Democratic Republic (GDR), tens of thousands of women and girls were forcibly detained and abused in sexual health clinics. In 1977, at the age of 15, Sabine was at a house party in Leipzig when police came for her. She was taken to a so-called ‘Tripperburgen' which translates to ‘gonorrhoea castle'. After 31 days she was told to leave. Research shows at least 10 of these wards existed in the GDR and 70% of the women had not been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Sabine tells Megan Jones about what happened to her, including being subjected to her first ever gynaecological exam. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

The NBA Finals are under way between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers; however, the spotlight has shifted to the conflict between Stephen A. Smith and superstar Tyrese Haliburton. Additionally, a Barrett Media article has emerged urging companies to emulate Stephen A. Smith if they want to achieve success. Jason Whitlock will deconstruct what is happening at ESPN and explain why it is considered the "misleader" in sports. He suggests that ESPN's connection to hip-hop music is a primary reason for its decline, which has contributed to the ongoing tension. ESPN has also highlighted topics such as Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark and LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan, creating drama rather than delivering sports news as it should. Later in the show, Steve Kim will join to discuss Chris Simms and his quarterback rankings. Dak Prescott's mental well-being reportedly hinges on winning a championship this year, while Jalen Hurts seeks advice from Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan on how to secure consecutive championship wins. Finally, it has been reported that Antonio Brown is wanted for attempted murder. It's a packed show today, so you don't want to miss it!
