Shava Cueva is the Baja California, Mexico born photographer who created the book and platform Bebidas de Oaxaca. The self-published book, now in its second edition, and available in English and Spanish, documents an incredible 87 traditional drinks from the eight regions of the state of Oaxaca. They are drinks made from “fruits, seeds, rinds, leafs, sap, flowers, crusts, [and] stems,” and prepared “raw, roasted, cooked, fermented, distilled, boiled, ground, mixed by mortar and pestle, foamed, cold or hot.” The book is filled with beautiful imagery that show the time and care Shava takes when visiting these often remote, rural communities and it shows the richness of these drinks, which are often left out of conversations of Oaxacan food and are gradually disappearing.What's especially fascinating is that Shava has no culinary background. In the interview we discuss how the Baja born photographer, who now lives in Australia, first became intrigued by Oaxaca's traditional beverages. He had a vague idea of a project during the pandemic, but once he arrived to the state and started shooting, he realized how substantial the project could become. There was so many drinks that weren't archived anywhere and he continues to document them. His website and YouTube channel continue where the books leave off, and the material just keeps coming. It's an endless source of inspiration for him. I hope more people follow his lead.--Host: Nicholas GillCo-host: Juliana DuqueProduced by Nicholas Gill & Juliana DuqueRecording & Editing by New Worlder Email: thenewworlder@gmail.comRead more at New Worlder: https://www.newworlder.com

En este episodio converso con Mauro Madariaga, etólogo equino y experto en el comportamiento y manejo de caballos, burros y mulas.Con él he aprendido que la comunicación no se limita a las palabras. Que nuestro cuerpo, respiración y energía comunican incluso cuando callamos.Hablamos sobre congruencia, liderazgo, empatía y conexión auténtica, a través del vínculo con los caballos —seres que perciben lo que realmente sentimos, no lo que decimos sentir.Una charla sobre cómo volvernos más conscientes, presentes y coherentes, dentro y fuera de las relaciones humanas.

En esta noche de Relatos de la Noche, reunimos cuatro historias que nos recuerdan que el miedo puede aparecer en los lugares más cotidianos: en un puente desierto, en los cerros de un rancho, en una calle perdida o en el silencio de un taller. Desde Ensenada hasta Oaxaca, pasando por Zacatecas y Durango, conoceremos los testimonios de quienes se atrevieron a mirar lo que otros prefieren ignorar. Relatos sobre presencias que regresan con la lluvia, seres que habitan bajo la tierra, brujas que aún caminan entre nosotros y guardianes que enfrentan al mal con más valor del que cualquiera imaginaría. —

Before heading to Oaxaca, we had a busy week filled with errands, appointments, and last-minute preparations. But the real story happened when I got pulled over by a police officer for having tinted windows — something that's perfectly normal in other parts of Mexico but not allowed in Puebla. We talk about how the situation unfolded, what we learned about cultural differences when dealing with authority, and how using ChatGPT (yes, right there on the street!) helped clarify the law and calm things down. It's a mix of nerves, quick thinking, and a few laughs in the end.Key Takeaways:How traffic laws — and their enforcement — can vary across different parts of Mexico.Why it's important to stay calm, polite, and informed when dealing with local authorities.How technology can help you navigate real-life challenges abroad.Relevant Links And Additional Resources:Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don't miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quizSupport the show

Hosts: Rob Chappell, Stephanie Díaz de León, Omar Waheed Guest: Prenicia Clifton Episode Overview This week, the team covers the end of SNAP benefits and its impact on Wisconsin families and small businesses, the return of Madison Nonprofit Day, the growing threat of media capture, and a few lighter conversations to close the show — including conspiracy theories they wish were true. SNAP Benefits Ending Nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites are about to lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as of November 1. Rob, Stephanie, and Omar discuss what this means for food pantries, families, and local economies. They also highlight that federal workers are unpaid during the shutdown and that the ripple effects extend to small businesses and farmers. LOUD's New Gallery Space Omar talks with Oscar Morales, founder of Latinos Organizing for Understanding and Development (LOUD), about opening a new gallery at Next Wave Studios on Madison's east side. The first artist in residence, La Pistola from Oaxaca, led workshops and connected with Madison's growing arts scene. Media Capture and the Importance of Local News Rob discusses a recent episode of the Question Everything podcast, focusing on "media capture" — when governments or their allies take control of the media. Starting November 1, every donation to Madison365 will be doubled through the Institute for Nonprofit News' matching fund.

#188 - What happens when a comedian with a camera trades stage lights for sunrise on a dirt road and points his vehicle toward Panama? I sat down with author and traveler Matt Savino to unpack a seven-month run along the Pan American Highway that never reached South America yet somehow delivered everything he was chasing: humor in the chaos, humanity at the barricades, and a clear-eyed love for places most maps flatten.Matt takes us from Baja's empty beaches and Dr. Seuss–worthy boojum forests to the food capitals of Puebla and Oaxaca, where mole lessons and tlayudas become their own itinerary. He opens the door on a Nicaraguan uprising, describing the day he edged through student roadblocks by listening first and moving only when trust appeared. Then the road shifts again: Costa Rica's bold choice to scrap its army and invest in parks and schools, and a volunteer's-eye view inside the Panama Canal's towering locks, where global trade rises and falls like a stage cue.We also dig into Land Without a Continent, Matt's sharp, funny travel memoir that blends road stories with deep dives into Mesoamerican history and modern politics. With a researcher's rigor and a comic's timing, he shows how travel rewires assumptions: Central America's identity, the real cost of a “normal life,” and why empathy is the best gear you can pack. If you've ever wondered whether to overland, backpack, or simply follow your curiosity, this story maps the trade-offs and the rewards.Subscribe, share with a friend who loves smart travel stories, and leave a review to help more explorers find the show.

Photographer and visual storyteller Ilan Sánchez captures more than moments — he captures meaning. Through analog film photography, street portraits, and honest connection, his work explores how slowing down helps us truly see people, not just pass by them. From Mexico City to Oaxaca, Ilan builds community through art that gives back instead of taking, documenting culture, identity, and everyday life with intention. Born and raised in Oaxaca, he offers a rare local perspective on how the city's sudden global spotlight — from mezcal to design and tourism — is reshaping its creative and cultural landscape. This conversation dives deep into street photography, creative process, authenticity, and the future of art in a world that moves too fast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.

Dr. Sofía Pacheco-Fores is a bioarchaeologist whose research focuses on migration in ancient Mexico. Using a range of methods including archaeological biogeochemistry and phenotypic variation in human skeletal and dental morphology, she reconstructs migration patterns to understand the experiences of past migrants and their recipient communities. She examines the role migration played in social and cultural change, including in ancient state formation, the spread of novel material culture complexes, the expression of social inequality, and eruptions of mass violence. She has on-going collaborative research projects in central Mexico, Oaxaca, and northwestern Mexico. In addition to her research, Dr. Pacheco-Fores is involved in science education and outreach activities with the goal of fostering increased inclusion and diversity within anthropology. She is a Senior Editor at Anthro Illustrated, a collaborative project creating illustrations of anthropologists of diverse backgrounds at work. She also encourages increased representation and participation in anthropology through the Skype A Scientist program, speaking with bilingual K-12 students about anthropology and bioarchaeology. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: SI Pacheco-Fores, CT Morehart. 2024.

Su único "crimen" fue ser una madre permisiva con un hijo adicto que buscaba en la calle el amor que ella no supo darle.  Condenada por la voz de alguien que dijo reconocerla, María recibió la misma sentencia que su hijo: 25 años, en una decisión donde los jueces copiaron y pegaron sentencias sin considerar su grado de participación real.00:00:00 - 00:03:19 15 años presa por secuestro / 15 years locked up for kidnapping00:04:43 - 00:06:56 Enterré a mi hijo en la cárcel /  I buried my son while in prison00:27:01 - 00:29:43 Dependencia emocional y violencia /  Emotional dependency and violence00:51:14 - 00:58:24 Asesinaron a mi esposo en prisión / They murdered my husband in prison01:01:47 - 01:04:28 Mi hijo está limpio en Oaxaca / My son is clean in Oaxaca--------------------------María has been in prison for 15 years. Her only "crime" was being too lenient with her addicted son who was looking for love on the streets—love she didn't know how to give him. Convicted based on someone's voice who claimed to recognize her, María got the same sentence as her son: 25 years, in a decision where judges literally copy-pasted sentences without considering how involved she actually was.--------------------------Sobreviviente de violencia doméstica extrema y pobreza, María cayó en el alcoholismo tratando de escapar de su realidad. En prisión enterró a un hijo, conoció a sus nietas, se casó y enviudó cuando asesinaron a su esposo dentro del penal. Aprendió, quizá demasiado tarde, a decir "te amo" a quienes más quería.Hoy, María trabaja, estudia y se aferra a la esperanza de una reforma que le dé una nueva oportunidad, mientras su hijo cumple condena en Oaxaca, limpio de drogas por primera vez en años.Detrás del número de expediente hay una mujer que aprendió demasiado tarde que el amor y la justicia no siempre caminan de la mano.--------------------------A survivor of extreme domestic violence and poverty, María turned to alcohol trying to escape her reality. In prison, she buried a son, met her granddaughters, got married, and became a widow when they killed her husband inside the jail. She learned—maybe too late—to say "I love you" to the people she cared about most.Today, María works, goes to school, and holds onto hope for a reform that'll give her a second chance, while her son serves his sentence in Oaxaca, off drugs for the first time in years. Behind the case number is a woman who learned too late that love and justice don't always go hand in hand.--------------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

Este martes arrancó la discusión de la reforma a la Ley de Amparo y fue aprobada en Comisiones ese mismo día, pero el debate se extendió hasta la madrugada del miércoles, con el foco puesto en el artículo transitorio que hablaba de la retroactividad, y en la madrugada, los diputados la aprobaron en el Pleno, pero con algunos cambios inesperados al transitorio.A inicios de semana se firmó el plan de paz y ese mismo día fueron liberados los 20 rehenes que permanecían vivos. En los días siguientes, Hamás entregó en total el cuerpo de ocho rehenes más, pero los cadáveres de veinte rehenes siguen sin regresar a casa. Sin embargo, Hamás ha dicho que se le ha dificultado encontrar el cuerpo de todos los rehenes, pues muchos estarían enterrados bajo los escombros de la Franja de Gaza, que quedó devastada tras meses de la ofensiva israelí. Además… El número de fallecidos por las inundaciones subió a 66, mientras 75 personas siguen desaparecidas; Ya vamos conociendo los nombres de algunos de los sancionados por Estados Unidos que se quedaron sin visa; Estados Unidos le retiró la visa a algunos ciudadanos extranjeros que hablaron sobre el asesinato de Charlie Kirk; Pakistán y Afganistán acordaron un alto el fuego temporal después de nuevos enfrentamientos; Walmart se alió con OpenAI para que puedas hacer el súper a través de ChatGPT; Amaia Montero regresará como vocalista a La Oreja de Van Gogh.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno… Hace un mes en el Santuario del Jaguar Yagul, en Oaxaca nació Yazú, una cachorrita de jaguar.

CONTINUED Victor Davis Hanson's book, The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, argues that the foundational principles of American citizenship and the nation's success are being eroded by these forces. A central theme of Hanson's work is the critical importance of the middle class, a concept he traces back to classical Greece and Rome. Drawing on Aristotle, Hanson highlights that a state's good fortune depends on citizens having "moderate and sufficient property," enabling autonomy and self-reliance. The middle class, combining "muscles with mind," traditionally served as the "soldiers of the republic" and were "skeptical of government." Unlike the poor, who risk dependency on "bread and circuses" from the government or wealthy patrons, or the rich, who "inevitably use their wealth to tamper with politics," the middle class is self-reliant and less susceptible to these extremes. This ideal, initially embodied by the independent farmer as envisioned by figures like Thomas Jefferson, was later translated into the "shopkeeper or the independent trucker or the traveling salesman" in post-industrial America, maintaining their autonomy. However, this middle class has recently experienced a decline in real wages, with any brief gains quickly eroded by inflation. Hanson posits that America is experiencing a "hollowing out" of its middle class, reminiscent of the decline of the Roman Empire, which was ultimately reduced to two classes: the extremely wealthy and those dependent on handouts. He cites California as a contemporary example, describing it as a "medieval society" with vast wealth alongside a dependent "peasant class," as millions of middle-class citizens have reportedly fled the state. The Obama administration's "Pajama Boy" and "Life of Julia" campaigns are presented as symbols of this shift, promoting a "nanny entitlement state" where the government provides for individuals from birth, reducing the need for traditional self-reliance, marriage, or property ownership. This, Hanson suggests, reflects a Democratic Party agenda that has "written off the working middle class" in favor of a "bicoastal elite" and big government. Globalization, particularly through immigration policy, is identified as another destructive force. The Hart-Celler Act of 1965 is criticized for dismantling meritocracy, prioritizing family relationships and proximity to the border over skills or English fluency. This, driven by an "unholy alliance" of the Democratic Party seeking new constituents and the Republican Party desiring cheap labor, has led to a massive influx of non-native-born and illegal residents. The Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986 also failed, as promises of border security were not kept, and employer verification mechanisms were easily circumvented. Hanson asserts that the absence of a secure border fundamentally undermines U.S. citizenship. He highlights how increased numbers of immigrants, coupled with lax voting laws, have politically impacted states like California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado, which have "flipped" to the Democratic Party. The desire for "dignity," as expressed by a legal immigrant named Mr. Rojas, underscores the allure of American equality compared to the social stratification in countries like Oaxaca, Mexico. Furthermore, Hanson addresses the rise of the "unelected," or "deep state," which he describes as a "permanent investigative bureaucratic class" with "contempt for the people" and an ability to undermine elected government. Examples range from the obscure Raisin Administrative Committee, which dictates what farmers can do with their crops, to high-ranking officials in agencies like the FBI and CIA who felt empowered to act outside accountability. The concept of "la resistance," adopted by some bureaucrats after Donald Trump's election, saw individuals like Kevin Clinesmith and "Anonymous" actively seeking to undermine the administration, with even a Georgetown Law Schoolprofessor, Rosa Brooks, publicly contemplating a military coup. Finally, Hanson criticizes the "nullification" of federal law, exemplified by "sanctuary cities" that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, creating an "asymmetrical" system where such actions are condoned for the left but condemned as "insurrection" for the right. He also argues that impeachment, designed as a constitutional check, has been "distorted" and "abused" into a political "campaign strategy," particularly in the two impeachments of Donald Trump. This has set a "terrible precedent," potentially leading to further political weaponization of constitutional mechanisms.
