“The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields. I consider that to be a far greater threat on a global scale than warming, or the increase of chemical elements in the environment.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're diving into The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker, a fascinating read on how electricity flows through the body and the ways it might influence healing, health, and even consciousness. Becker, a pioneer in bioelectricity, lays out connections between injury recovery, electromagnetic fields, and the body's natural currents. We cover a wide range of topics including: The link between magnetic storms and spikes in psychiatric admissions How the body's healing process relies on electric signals Diet, metabolism, and avoiding the “swamp” Modern concerns about EMF exposure from wifi, Bluetooth, and power lines The crossover between bioelectricity and mitochondrial theory And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

In this episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with La Tina—the acclaimed Colombian sound collective made up of Andrés Silva Díaz, Alejandro Uribe-Holguín, and Manuel José Gordillo. Together, they form the sonic force behind Netflix's ambitious adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude, based on the novel by Gabriel García Márquez. We explore their creative process, the cultural and technical challenges of bringing the world of Macondo to life through sound, and how their work pays tribute to the magical realism of Márquez's masterpiece. From atmospheric design to emotional texture, this is an immersive conversation about sound as storytelling.

There's so much to say about the Latin American Boom in literature, but how can we possibly discuss it at this point in time without mentioning Mario Vargas Llosa and his recent passing. And so, as a Colombia-focused podcast, we take a look at this era and these personalities in the literary world, such as Colombia's inimitable Gabriel Garcia Marquez but through the prism of Mario Vargas Llosa. With very special guest Juan E. De Castro, professor of literary studies at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at The New School. Author of Writing Revolution in Latin America: From Martí to García Márquez to Bolaño and Bread and Beauty: The Cultural Politics of José Carlos Mariátegui, among other works, we discuss a variety of topics relating to but not restricted to: 1. The Latin American Boom. 2. Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and "that punch." 3. The importance of the Latin American Boom. 4. The end of this literary milestone. 5. One Hundred Years of Solitude - the Netflix version.  And so much more, including the Colombia Briefing with Emily Hart.

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about rich people. Does his work also offer a critique of wealth and inequality? According to John Marsh, we can learn a lot about class, power, privilege, and impunity from a novel published 100 years ago.

Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change her life. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. It was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan's relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, Betty tells us her story. Born into poverty in pre-war London, and growing up fast during the Blitz, Betty grabs the chance at a bigger life by migrating to Australia. On board the SS Asturias she meets three people who will influence the course of her life—Pearl, a good-hearted party girl; Athena, a Greek woman on her way to marry a man she has never met; and Leo, a German Jew who lost his family in the war. In Sydney, Betty is making ends meet as a waitress at the famous Trocadero dance hall when she stumbles into a rushed courtship with Donald, a wealthy businessman, and dedicates herself to being the ideal 1950s suburban housewife. But life has other plans for Betty, and soon she must find a way to do more than survive. Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us. From the creator of Offspring and bestselling author of The Family Doctor, One Hundred Years of Betty is the saga of a strong, intelligent woman born too early in time to make the most of her talents without having to fight for everything. It's about the defining force of motherhood, the family we make, and how the determination to live to the hilt, with all the joy and sorrow that entails, can lead to a life beyond one's wildest imaginings.

The final episode of Season One, "So Many Flowers Fell From The Sky".

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This author is known and loved for her deeply moving and profound works of fiction (for me, particularly, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun). This time it's the story of four Nigerian women, and as such spans a wide geography from Africa to America with a great insight into their friendships, loves, regrets and world views. It's very elegant and insightful storytelling – their lives were as authentic to me as those of women I actually know, and I loved it. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald. This is the fictional memoir of a woman who, on the eve of her 100th birthday looks back over her life, reflecting on the changes she's seen throughout her century and the many unexpected opportunities that came her way. This was the evolution of a naïve young immigrant to Australia who ended up living a life she could never have imagined – with all its struggle, grief, success, loves, disappointments and surprises. Betty is a very ordinary character who somehow lived an extraordinary life and it's a joy to read. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mass violence did not always have a name. Like conquest, atrocity was not always seen as violating a moral norm or inviting indignation. Could the concept of atrocity even exist before people could accuse their own country of mass violence committed against the inhabitants of another country?  In Atrocity: A Literary History (Stanford UP, 2025), Bruce Robbins details how, when and where the conceptual space opened to make the recognition of atrocity possible. Robbins reads Bartolomé de las Casas's account of his fellow Spaniards' atrocities, Grimmelshausen's 1668 novel Simplicissimus, Tolstoy's Hadji Murat, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, and many other writers to examine how writers not only develop but question what representations of atrocity achieve. Critically examining the emergence of a cosmopolitan ethic, and questioning the practical wisdom offered by the indignation or its refusal in the face of atrocity, Robbins argues for the invention of atrocity as a moral achievement, however tainted its development may have been.

Mass violence did not always have a name. Like conquest, atrocity was not always seen as violating a moral norm or inviting indignation. Could the concept of atrocity even exist before people could accuse their own country of mass violence committed against the inhabitants of another country?  In Atrocity: A Literary History (Stanford UP, 2025), Bruce Robbins details how, when and where the conceptual space opened to make the recognition of atrocity possible. Robbins reads Bartolomé de las Casas's account of his fellow Spaniards' atrocities, Grimmelshausen's 1668 novel Simplicissimus, Tolstoy's Hadji Murat, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, and many other writers to examine how writers not only develop but question what representations of atrocity achieve. Critically examining the emergence of a cosmopolitan ethic, and questioning the practical wisdom offered by the indignation or its refusal in the face of atrocity, Robbins argues for the invention of atrocity as a moral achievement, however tainted its development may have been.

Isabel Allende's THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS didn't just build upon the magic realism established by García Márquez's ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. Allende's 1982 novel (published in Spain, not her native Chile for political reasons) was immensely popular with Americans when it was published in English in 1985. Indulge in a reminder of these absolute masterpieces while learning more about how they relate to one another, more about magic realism in general, and how the historical-political situations in Colombia and Chile influenced both works. Kimberly had SO much fun with this. Join in now.

It begins with one of the most iconic lines in literature: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”“One Hundred Years of Solitude,” Gabriel García Márquez's magical realist parable of imperialism in Latin America, is a tale of family, community, prophesy and disaster. In this week's episode, the Book Review's MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Gregory Cowles and Miguel Salazar.

After nine years away, Tim Buendia, has made it back to the town of Aracataca - birthplace of Gabriel Garcia Marquez - and it seems timely with a new series based on the author's opus: "One Hundred Years of Solitude" due to be aired on 11 December 2024 on Netflix. Tim, an adopted son of Aracataca, is perhaps singlehandedly responsible for his tireless work in bringing international tourism to the birthplace of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Colombian Nobel Prize winning author. And it was all falling into place with tours, a steady stream of visitors and significant press coverage...and then he left.  We discuss what this return to "Macondo" or Aracataca means to Tim, how he has been working diligently in the interim years to continue promoting Aracataca, about his poetry and a new art gallery he is inaugurating in the town. Check out the website: https://www.thegypsyresidence.com The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart. 

Garcia Marquez changed literature with the 1967 publication of this surreal, ultra-popular, deeply engaging novel. Kimberly LOVED diving in to the context in which it was written, the way it fits into literary movements and why it's so groundbreaking. And if you're one of the people who couldn't keep all the generations of José Arcadios and Aurelianos straight, Kimberly will reveal a grad-school level secret that will help with this novel--and every challenging book you read.

Chapter 1:Summary of One Hundred Years of Solitude"One Hundred Years of Solitude" is a landmark 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family. The novel is set in the fictional town of Macondo, which is founded by José Arcadio Buendía and his wife, Úrsula Iguarán, in the remote jungles of Colombia. The story intertwines elements of magic realism with historical context, exploring themes such as solitude, love, destiny, and the inevitability of history repeating itself.The narrative follows the Buendía family through six generations, documenting the rise and fall of both the family and the town. The characters are often driven by grand visions and human passions, and their personal stories are intertwined with political and social upheavals, as Macondo grows from a secluded village into a bustling town beset by the forces of civil wars, exploitation by foreign companies, and social transformation.Key characters include José Arcadio Buendía, the adventurous founder of Macondo who becomes obsessed with alchemy and the search for knowledge; his wife Úrsula, who provides a stabilizing force in the family and lives to a very old age; their sons, Aureliano and José Arcadio, who each inherit parts of their father's vast spectrum of traits, from introspection to impulsive behavior; and their descendants, who all struggle with the burden of their family's legacy.Recurring themes include the cyclical nature of history as the Buendía family tends to repeat the same mistakes with each generation, and the idea of inevitable solitude that affects each member of the family in profound ways. The novel also delves into the idea of predetermined destiny, with many characters feeling trapped by their forebears' histories.The book's magical realist style blends fantastical elements with the real world, giving the reader a rich, imaginative experience, while also commenting on the nature of reality, time, and memory. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is considered one of the most important works in the literary canon of Latin America and has been translated into many languages, touching diverse audiences around the world. Its exploration of universal themes encapsulated within the specific cultural context of Latin America has left a lasting impact on both literature and popular culture.Chapter 2:The Theme of One Hundred Years of SolitudeOne Hundred Years of Solitude, written by Gabriel García Márquez, is a landmark novel in the genre of magical realism and is considered one of the greatest works in modern literature. The narrative chronicles several generations of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo, founded by José Arcadio Buendía and his wife Úrsula. The novel weaves the personal, political, and supernatural seamlessly. Here are some key plot points, character developments, and thematic ideas explored: Key Plot Points:1. Foundation of Macondo: José Arcadio Buendía establishes Macondo, which starts as an isolated utopia but becomes progressively connected with the outside world.2. The Buendía Family Lineage: The family's story is characterized by repeated patterns, incestuous relationships, and an apparent curse of solitude that haunts its members across generations.3. The Arrival of the Gypsies: The gypsies, including Melquiades, bring technology from the outside world, such as magnets, alchemy, and ice, which fascinate and drive some of José's quests.4. Insurrections and Political Changes: The town encounters civil wars led by Colonel Aureliano Buendía, reflective of Colombia's own historical political strife.5. The Banana Company: The arrival of an American banana company brings capitalism, exploitation, and a pivotal massacre, which is subsequently covered up, indicating the erasure and manipulation of history.6....
