Podcasts about Pablo Escobar

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

A few weeks ago, we had an incredible conversation with Dominic about his unique mission to document as many psychoactive substances as possible. Over time, he tried 182 different substances and compiled all his research into the powerful and informative book, The Drug User's Bible, a harm reduction resource to help people make informed decisions. In this follow-up episode, we dive deeper into some of Dominic's most memorable experiences. From LSD and mescaline to synthetic cannabinoids, truffles, and even a sample of Pablo Escobar's cocaine! It's another fascinating and insightful session with a good friend of the show. I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too. Roll one up, settle in, and enjoy the ride!

Ibrahim Akasha was the kingpin of East Africa's heroin highway, setting up a massive tracking empire that stretched from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Kenya, South Africa and Europe. When he was gunned down in 2000, his sons stepped into the void, hungrier and even more violent...but also, more sloppy. They struck deals with Pakistani mobsters and Colombian cartels, turning Kenya's ports into gateways for global dope. But their empire crumbled in a DEA sting straight out of a Hollywood script.

We jump right in by talking...supplements? Kat may be Pablo Escobar, who knows. She makes her own preworkout, and the rules around here. Kat then has a fire alarm, so we had to restart the show halfway through (shoutout to our production team, this ended up flowing really well). We then get into what we meant to talk about: tips for balancing work and working out, and why we both think it is SO important. Spoiler: working out makes you a better employee. We share our best practices for committing and staying committed to fitness, no matter what our 9 to 5 throws at us!

"Dad, if you're listening, and I hope you're not..." In episode 10, swearing has returned, and we discuss why there's no room for dad-bods in the pipefish community, Pigeon guillemot fathers and their horrific approach to parenting in times of scarcity, and dumping pets on our own dads. Pluls there's the bonus tale of the latest Bee-Meadow-Farm cat Pablo Escobar's escape attempts. and his possible name change to "El Chapo"

Bonus 10 - What happens when a former Army Ranger and Special Forces veteran finally reveals classified missions conducted during some of history's most volatile conflicts? Chris Brewer's military journey spans 24 remarkable years, from the reactivation of the 1st Ranger Battalion in 1974 to covert operations in Colombia during the Pablo Escobar era.In this gripping conversation, Chris takes us behind enemy lines into a world few civilians ever glimpse. Operating in civilian clothes with minimal support, his six-person team would check in just once weekly via HF radio to confirm they were still alive. While bombs exploded nightly in Bogota streets and gunfire erupted regularly, Chris and his team navigated this dangerous terrain while establishing a medical corpsman school as their cover mission. The real objective? A classified operation straight out of a Tom Clancy novel.Behind the tactical stories lies a deeply human journey. Chris opens up about raising his son as a single father while serving in Special Forces, depending on military friends to care for his child during deployments. His candid discussion of surviving rocket attacks and processing trauma offers rare insight into the psychological resilience required in elite military units. "You wake up and the first thing through your mind is I can't breathe," Chris explains, describing the aftermath of explosions that left him sleeping in rooms riddled with shrapnel.What makes Special Forces different from other military units? As Chris explains, "When there's only six of you, or 12 of you out there, all by yourself, a long way from home, you're probably not going to win very many gunfights." The key to survival isn't superior firepower but building relationships with local populations and understanding their needs—a philosophy that guided his entire career.Check out Chris's books "In the Shadows Between the Wars" and "Old Scroll Ranger" on Amazon to dive deeper into these declassified stories that shaped global security while remaining hidden from public view for decades.

En 1983, un artículo de la Revista Semana catalogaba a Pablo Escobar como un “Robin Hood” colombiano. Pasaría muy poco tiempo desde ese entonces para que Escobar se convirtiera en el principal capo de la droga del mundo y uno de los victimarios más sangrientos que ha visto Colombia en su historia. En este segundo episodio del especial del narcotráfico en el país, Alejandro y Luis Guillermo hablan de la segunda etapa del negocio ilegal que ha permeado por décadas la vida política y social del país. Abordan hoy el periodo entre finales de los 70 y la primera etapa de los 80, cuando el cartel de Medellín comenzó a cometer sus primeros actos terroristas y magnicidios. El primer episodio de este especial lo puede escuchar acáDéjà vu es un podcast de opinión de La Silla Podcast.La dirección es de Alejandro Lloreda y Luis Guillermo Vélez.La coordinación periodística y de podcast de La Silla Vacía es de Tatiana Duque.La producción es de Fernando Cruz y Juana Rubio Tovar.Foto: ArchivoCada quince días un nuevo episodio.Más de La Silla pódcast: Puede seguir y escuchar Ausencias aquí¿Quiere aprender de pódcast, hacer un pódcast como este o grabar sus contenidos sonoros?En La Silla Vacía le ayudamos y le damos las herramientas.Para mayor información y precios, consulte acá Un espacio de cuña en Huevos Revueltos puede ser suyo, excepto para contenido político y electoral.

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. The network has grown to include a large cable car network which stretches to the neighbourhoods built into the sides of mountains that surround Medellin. 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. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: The metro cable above the city of Medellin.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam sits down with former DEA agents Chris Feistl and Dave Mitchell to discuss the inner workings of the drug trade and border security. They break down the differences between the Trump and Biden administrations' handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, how cartels launder money, and why they thrive in South America but not in the U.S. The conversation also covers the brutal legacy of Pablo Escobar, the severity of the fentanyl crisis, and whether cartels should be classified as terrorist organizations. Plus, the agents share wild stories from their time in the field and identify the countries hit hardest by drug and human trafficking. In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich joins Adam to unpack current headlines, starting with a revealing media study showing how often CNN and MSNBC referred to the violent riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful protests.” They also cover Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's controversial attempt to link political violence to partisan narratives following the targeted shooting of two Democratic lawmakers. Finally, the team reacts to Barbra Streisand's bizarre public comments about her unclear sexual history with actor Warren Beatty.Then, social media star Haliey Welch—better known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl—stops by the studio to talk about her sudden rise to fame. She reflects on the viral moment that launched her into the spotlight, how her family reacted, and the wave of brand offers that came pouring in. Hailey and Adam rewatch the video that started it all, share a laugh, and talk about her working-class upbringing. She also recounts meeting Shaquille O'Neal and appearing onstage at a Zach Bryan concert—all within days of becoming an internet sensation.

As tensions rise between a passionate conservationist and a ruthless poacher, the real threat emerges from the water: a bloodthirsty pod of hippos that's not just invasive… it's unstoppable.In Stay Hungry by David O'Hanlon, bullets fly, bodies drop, and the jungle runs red in this brutal, action-packed creature horror story.

This week, we have a truly special guest—Peter Kaestner, the first person in history to see over 10,000 bird species in the wild. It's a mind-blowing achievement. Peter took us on an unforgettable journey through his life as a birder, and how his career as a diplomat allowed him to travel the globe. He shared incredible stories—like birding in Colombia during the height of Pablo Escobar's power, and even discovering a new species. His passion, humor, and humility made this such a joy to record. Honestly, we were having so much fun, none of us wanted the conversation to end. You'll hear us try to wrap it up multiple times but then just get into some more fun stories and conversation. As always, you've got married ornithologists and Field Museum curators John Bates and Shannon Hackett, plus RJ Pole and Amanda Marquart.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky

Send us a textRetired DEA Agents Chris Feistl & Dave Mitchell join The Happy Hour to discuss their time in Columbia. These two men helped hunt down the feared godfathers of the Cali Cartel. After Pablo Escobar's death, the Cali Cartel grew in power and dominated the world's cocaine industry. They were sending planes, shipping containers, and anything else they could fill with cocaine to the USA, only to return back to Columbia full of millions of US dollars. With this they paid off the Columbian people, police, & even THE PRESIDENT!  How could they be stopped?

This week on PRETEND, we're doing something different. I'm bringing on my friend Johnathan Walton, the mastermind behind Queen of the Con, to share the premiere episode of his brand-new podcast series: Cocaine Air. Jonathan isn't just a victim of a con artist—he's turned his trauma into a storytelling empire. And in Cocaine Air, he tells the true story of TJ Dominguez, a Cuban-American businessman who got scammed out of $100,000 and decided to take matters into his own hands... by becoming one of the world's biggest cocaine smugglers for Pablo Escobar. This story is wild, raw, and straight out of the Miami Vice era—but it's all true. If you're into PRETEND, you're going to love Cocaine Air.

"El Monstruo de los Andes" Nos sumergimos en uno de los casos más escalofriantes de América Latina: Pedro Alonso López, conocido como El Monstruo de los Andes, responsable de la desaparición y asesinato de más de 300 niñas en Colombia, Perú y Ecuador.

Me refiero a la expresión "ajuste de cuentas". Seguro que la has escuchado en alguna noticia sobre crímenes o violencia, pero… ¿qué significa exactamente? Pues "ajuste de cuentas" es una expresión que se usa cuando una persona comete un acto violento para vengarse de otra. Normalmente, ese acto violento suele ser un asesinato, aunque también puede tratarse de una paliza a base de golpes por todo el cuerpo. En definitiva, el ajuste de cuentas es como una especie de revancha relacionada con un conflicto previo, casi siempre relacionado con asuntos ilegales, como el narcotráfico, las deudas, las traiciones o las disputas entre bandas. Es decir, no es un crimen al azar, sino una represalia planificada, una revancha por algo que ha sucedido antes. Y, a lo largo de la historia, hemos conocido muchos casos de ajustes de cuentas. Por ejemplo, en la Colombia de los años 80 y 90, durante la época de Pablo Escobar y el cartel de Medellín, se produjeron muchos ajustes de cuentas entre grupos criminales rivales. Los asesinatos se utilizaban como mensajes de poder o de castigo hacia la otra banda. Algo parecido sucedió en Italia durante la lucha entre clanes mafiosos, especialmente la Cosa Nostra en Sicilia. Los ajustes de cuentas eran comunes para mantener el control territorial o castigar a miembros que traicionaban las reglas del grupo. Y más recientemente, en ciudades como Marsella, en Francia, o Ciudad Juárez, en México, se han registrado múltiples homicidios que la policía ha vinculado a ajustes de cuentas entre bandas por el control del tráfico de drogas. No sé si ya conocías esta expresión, pero estoy seguro de que la próxima vez que escuches en las noticias que un crimen "parece un ajuste de cuentas", ya sabrás que se trata probablemente de un acto de venganza dentro de un conflicto más amplio, y no de una víctima elegida al azar o por casualidad. Y te he contado todo esto, porque la noticia que vamos a escuchar puede estar relacionada, precisamente, con un ajuste de cuentas. Esta vez es más breve que en otras ocasiones. Y dentro del vocabulario hay palabras que ya hemos visto en episodios recientes. Así que, entiendo que no te resultará complicado entenderla. Eso sí, después de escuchar la noticia por primera vez, te contaré otras cosas interesantes sobre palabras nuevas. Como suele ser habitual, la noticia la encontré en Radio Nacional de España, y aparecen dos voces distintas. Empieza el presentador del informativo y luego también interviene una joven que escuchó lo que sucedía. Aquí tienes la noticia. “Madrid. Pendientes de las novedades en torno a la investigación de la muerte de un hombre de nacionalidad ucraniana de 52 años tiroteado en plena vía pública. La víctima, un abogado político afín a Rusia, asesor del expresidente Víctor Yanukovych, se encontraba junto a su vehículo frente al colegio americano de Pozuelo de Alarcón, donde había dejado a sus hijos. En el momento del ataque, muchos alumnos accedían al centro. El ruido alertaba a los vecinos. Me he despertado con unos 6-7 tiros y entonces he subido la persiana corriendo y no he visto nada. Pero me he alejado un poco y ya he escuchado un grito, he escuchado un pitido prolongado de coche y me he vuelto a asomar a la ventana y he visto a una chica correr de un lado a otro. En la zona todavía sobrevuelan drones y un helicóptero de la policía para tratar de localizar al autor o autores.” Como has podido escuchar, en ese primer momento, cuando se conoció la noticia, todavía no se hablaba de un posible ajuste de cuentas. Pero unas horas más tarde esa era la hipótesis que manejaban todos los medios de comunicación en España. Lo peor de todo es que unos niños inocentes, sin culpa de nada, se quedaron sin padre. Y, hasta donde yo sé, de momento no se han producido detenciones relacionadas con este asesinato. Eso es lo último que puedo contarte sobre el suceso que conmocionó a los habitantes de Pozuelo de Alarcón, una ciudad de clase alta situada a las afueras de Madrid. Bien, en cuanto a las palabras y expresiones clave que aparecen en la noticia, son las siguientes. En primer lugar, estar pendiente significa prestar atención a algo, estar atento o estar esperando que algo suceda. El presentador del informativo no utiliza el verbo “estar”, sólo dice “pendientes”, pero podría haber dicho “estamos pendientes”, estamos atentos a los hechos que han sucedido en Pozuelo. Ejemplos: -Estoy pendiente del correo porque hoy me tienen que confirmar la fecha de la entrevista. -Los padres estaban pendientes de sus hijos mientras jugaban en el parque. Otra expresión que aparece en la noticia es en torno a, que equivale a “alrededor de” o “sobre” y se usa para hablar de un tema, como en la noticia, o de una cantidad aproximada. Ejemplos de las dos posibilidades: -El debate gira en torno a la reforma educativa. -Había en torno a 50 personas en la sala. Pasamos ahora a la palabra tiroteado, que es el participio del verbo tirotear, que significa disparar con armas de fuego. Por lo tanto, tiroteado se refiere a alguien que ha recibido disparos. La chica que habla en la noticia no dice “disparos”, sino “tiros”, que es un sinónimo. Disparar es lo mismo que tirotear, mientras que disparo equivale a tiro. Ejemplos: -El coche fue tiroteado en plena carretera. -La policía encontró a un hombre tiroteado en el barrio. A continuación, cuando hablan de la vía pública se refieren a los espacios exteriores de uso general. Dicho con otra palabra más sencilla, la vía pública es la calle, un sitio en el que puede caminar todo el mundo. Ejemplos: -Está prohibido beber alcohol en la vía pública. -El accidente ocurrió en plena vía pública, justo frente a un colegio. Más adelante dice que la víctima era afín a Rusia. Ser afín significa tener simpatía o cercanía ideológica con algo o alguien. Puede aplicarse a ideas, a partidos políticos o personas. Ejemplos: -Es un periodista afín al gobierno. -Aunque no somos del mismo partido, nuestras ideas son bastante afines. Vamos ahora con una palabra que no había aparecido nunca, persiana. Una persiana es una estructura que se coloca en las ventanas para regular la entrada de luz o proteger del exterior. Puede ser de madera, de plástico o de metal. Normalmente se sube o se baja con la ayuda de una cinta alargada que se coloca en un lado de la ventana. Pero las modernas se suben y bajan pulsando un botón, porque están mecanizadas. En España tenemos persianas, que van por fuera de la ventana, y luego cortinas, que están hechas de tela y que están ya dentro de la casa. Ejemplos: -Todas las noches bajo la persiana antes de dormir. -Al oír el ruido, subí la persiana para ver qué pasaba en la calle. Por último, el pitido de un coche es el sonido que produce el claxon o la bocina de un vehículo. Claxon y bocina son sinónimo. El pitido sirve para avisar o llamar la atención. Ejemplos: -Un pitido de coche me hizo mirar por la ventana. -El conductor dio varios pitidos para que le dejaran pasar. Bien, como te decía, esta vez no había demasiadas cosas que explicar, pero siempre hay cosas nuevas para ampliar nuestro vocabulario, aunque sean pocas. Perfecto, pues vamos a escuchar la noticia por segunda vez. “Madrid. Pendientes de las novedades en torno a la investigación de la muerte de un hombre de nacionalidad ucraniana de 52 años tiroteado en plena vía pública. La víctima, un abogado político afín a Rusia, asesor del expresidente Víctor Yanukovych, se encontraba junto a su vehículo frente al colegio americano de Pozuelo de Alarcón, donde había dejado a sus hijos. En el momento del ataque, muchos alumnos accedían al centro. El ruido alertaba a los vecinos. Me he despertado con unos 6-7 tiros y entonces he subido la persiana corriendo y no he visto nada. Pero me he alejado un poco y ya he escuchado un grito, he escuchado un pitido prolongado de coche y me he vuelto a asomar a la ventana y he visto a una chica correr de un lado a otro. En la zona todavía sobrevuelan drones y un helicóptero de la policía para tratar de localizar al autor o autores.” Como te decía, a pesar de los esfuerzos de la policía, todavía no han encontrado a los responsables del asesinato. Bueno, vamos con el resumen alternativo de la noticia, o sea, la misma información, pero con otras palabras. El presentador dice que le llegan informaciones de última hora desde Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, donde se ha producido un incidente grave. Al parecer, un ciudadano de origen ucraniano, de 52 años, ha sido asesinado a balazos en plena calle. El hombre, que ejercía como jurista y era próximo a posturas prorrusas, había sido consejero del expresidente Víktor Yanukóvich. Luego confirma que, según fuentes cercanas, el individuo se encontraba junto a su automóvil, aparcado frente a la escuela americana de la zona, justo después de haber llevado allí a sus hijos. En ese instante, numerosos estudiantes entraban al centro escolar. El estruendo de los disparos alarmó a los residentes del barrio. Precisamente, una vecina cuenta que le despertaron unas 6 o 7 detonaciones. Subió rápidamente la persiana, pero no vio nada en ese momento. Luego, al moverse un poco, escuchó un grito, un sonido constante de coche, y volvió a mirar. Entonces vio a una chica corriendo de un lado a otro muy nerviosa. Para concluir la noticia, el presentador dice que la zona permanece acordonada, y que las autoridades están utilizando vehículos aéreos no tripulados y un helicóptero policial para intentar identificar y encontrar a los responsables del crimen. Muy bien, pues ya estamos listos para escuchar la noticia por última vez. Aquí va. “Madrid. Pendientes de las novedades en torno a la investigación de la muerte de un hombre de nacionalidad ucraniana de 52 años tiroteado en plena vía pública. La víctima, un abogado político afín a Rusia, asesor del expresidente Víctor Yanukovych, se encontraba junto a su vehículo frente al colegio americano de Pozuelo de Alarcón, donde había dejado a sus hijos. En el momento del ataque, muchos alumnos accedían al centro. El ruido alertaba a los vecinos. Me he despertado con unos 6-7 tiros y entonces he subido la persiana corriendo y no he visto nada.

En la zona todavía sobrevuelan drones y un helicóptero de la policía para tratar de localizar al autor o autores.” Antes de despedirme y de repasar las palabras que hemos aprendido hoy, quiero compartir algo personal contigo. Últimamente estoy viendo la serie Narcos, que muchos, imagino, ya conoceréis. La historia es apasionante, pero tengo que reconocer que, a pesar de ser español, me cuesta muchísimo entender lo que dicen. Entre los acentos colombianos, el ritmo rápido, y algunas expresiones propias del narcotráfico, a veces necesito los subtítulos en español para seguir bien los diálogos. También es verdad que no me gusta tener el volumen de la televisión muy alto para no molestar a los vecinos, porque aquí en Luxemburgo todo suele estar en calma. El caso es que eso me ha hecho pensar en personas como tú, que estáis aprendiendo español. Si a mí me cuesta, imaginaos a alguien que no es nativo. Por eso, quiero recomendarte que empieces viendo documentales en español y sin subtítulos. Es lo que estoy haciendo yo ahora con el francés. Ayer, por ejemplo, vi un documental sobre un asesino que mataba a chicas jóvenes en París, y la verdad es que lo entendí casi todo. Bajo mi punto de vista, los documentales son perfectos para aprender. Y el siguiente paso serían las series, pero es necesario buscar la serie adecuada. Normalmente, las de humor son difíciles. Así que yo intentaría con algo más clásico como ‘Cuéntame cómo pasó' o ‘El Ministerio del tiempo'. Es sólo una idea por si te apetece probar. Y ahora sí, vamos con las palabras y expresiones que hemos visto hoy. -Estar pendiente: prestar atención a algo, estar atento o esperando que algo suceda. -En torno a: equivale a “alrededor de” o “sobre” y se usa para hablar de un tema o de una cantidad aproximada. -Tiroteado: participio del verbo tirotear, que significa disparar con armas de fuego. Se refiere a alguien que ha recibido disparos. -Vía pública: se refiere a los espacios exteriores de uso general, como las calles. -Afín: significa tener simpatía o cercanía ideológica con algo o alguien. Puede aplicarse a ideas, partidos políticos o personas. -Persiana: es una estructura que se coloca en las ventanas para regular la entrada de luz o proteger del exterior. Puede ser de madera, plástico o metal. -Pitido de coche: es el sonido agudo que produce el claxon o bocina de un vehículo. Sirve para avisar o llamar la atención. Pues esto ha sido todo por hoy.

Send us a textFew people have witnessed global security challenges from as many perspectives as Chris Brewer. In this riveting conversation, the veteran Ranger Battalion NCO and Special Forces Officer pulls back the curtain on covert operations and international security work spanning decades and continents.Brewer's extraordinary career trajectory took him from the elite Ranger Battalion formed in 1974 to the Department of State's Office of Security Assistance, then into the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan, the UAE, and Nigeria. With remarkable candor, he shares experiences that shaped modern security practices while revealing the human side of high-stakes operations.The heart of this episode lies in Brewer's previously classified stories, now cleared for public discussion through his books. His encounter with Pablo Escobar's forces while protecting a radar installation in Colombia reads like a thriller but happened in real life. Equally compelling is his account of Operation Promote Liberty in Panama, where his team served as a "tripwire" against Noriega loyalists planning a coup—a mission that never made headlines.Brewer's perspective on the Afghanistan withdrawal provides powerful insights into the personal impact on veterans who worked closely with Afghan partners. His description of frantically helping colleagues escape Taliban forces reveals the ongoing commitment many veterans feel toward those left behind.For anyone interested in military history, international affairs, or security operations, Brewer's books "Old Scroll Ranger" and "In the Shadows Between Wars" offer rare firsthand accounts of operations that shaped global security. These aren't just war stories—they're lessons in adaptability, quick thinking, and cross-cultural understanding from places few Americans will ever see.Have you read accounts from operators who worked in the shadows between major conflicts? Share your thoughts on how these untold stories shape our understanding of global security challenges.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Sitting down with Giovanni and Dutch, Steve Murphy shares his journey from being a police officer in a town of fewer than 20,000 people to becoming one of the DEA agents most synonymous with the takedown of narco-terrorist and Medellín Cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar. A story best known for its depiction in Netflix's hit series Narcos, Murphy provides intimate insights into life in Colombia during its most violent years, as he and partner Javier Peña pursued Escobar alongside the Colombian National Police.  About Steve Murphy: Retired DEA Special Agents Steve Murphy and partner Javier Peña were at the center of the largest, most complex, multi-national, high-profile investigation of its time. Because of their efforts, Escobar offered a $300,000 bounty for the death of each of them. After Escobar's capture, Murphy returned to the American south first landing in Greensboro, NC where he ran an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force before moving to Washington D.C. to serve as Senior Executive Service where he oversaw the DEA's office of Special Intelligence. Now retired, he and Peña often make guest appearances to tell their heroic story. Murphy and Peña also act as the lead investigators searching for the remains of The Lost Clipper, a Hawaiian airplane that vanished with 15 Americans on board in 1938.   Produced by The Mob Museum.

In the early 70s, Miguel Angel Villavicencio was focused on making his most ambitious dream possible: to become a famous singer in Bolivia and across the world. And he was halfway there—his love songs were on the radio and he was appearing on TV. But to take his singing career truly international, he needed money. So he decided to work for Bolivia's most powerful drug cartel in the 80s—a major supplier for Pablo Escobar. Choosing this path would lead him on a journey of self-destruction, unexpected betrayal and finally, redemption.Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa. Follow the show to get every episode. Follow us on TikTok and YouTube.

El Gobierno colombiano anunció este martes la captura de más de dos centenares de miembros del Clan del Golfo desde mediados de abril, en respuesta a la ofensiva violenta de esa banda narcotraficante conocida como “plan pistola”.  Para algunos analistas, este es un reflejo de la crisis de seguridad que atraviesa el país suramericano por, entre otras cosas, las fallas de los diálogos de paz. Desde el 15 de abril los ataques de los grupos ilegales y rebeldes se han cobrado la vida de al menos 18 policías y 17 militares, según el Gobierno. Esto es casi un asesinato de un miembro de la fuerza pública por día. Los crímenes son atribuidos principalmente al Clan del Golfo en el marco del denominado “plan pistola”. En respuesta a esta ofensiva, las autoridades han capturado a 217 miembros de ese grupo armado en las últimas tres semanas. Oscar Palma, especialista en seguridad y defensa y profesor en la Universidad del Rosario explica que “el clan del Golfo es una organización de sombrilla, como una especie de federación que incluye alianzas con organizaciones menores, con otra serie de grupos asociados a la estructura como tal y el plan pistola que el clan del Golfo está realizando actualmente se da justamente por la captura de uno de los miembros de su Estado Mayor, por así decirlo”.El Plan Pistola recuerda una célebre táctica que ya había utilizado el mismo Clan del Golfo en 2022, pero también, en los años 90, el narcotraficante Pablo Escobar.“Muchas veces, incluso estos asesinatos suceden cuando los miembros de las instituciones están por fuera de su actividad, es decir, no están en una operación específica de combate, pueden incluso estar de civil y sin embargo, son víctimas de este tipo de asesinatos. Es exactamente lo que estamos viendo hoy, particularmente en cabeza del clan del Golfo”, señala Palma.Para este especialista en seguridad y defensa en Bogotá, “el plan pistola” es una ilustración más de la degradación de la situación de orden público en Colombia. “Estamos viendo dinámicas que no veíamos desde hace muchos años, antes incluso del proceso de paz”.Para él, la crisis es consecuencia de procesos de paz que han fracasado, pero también de “unas fuerzas militares que han recibido la orden de no operar en contra de algunos grupos con los cuales supuestamente se tienen unas conversaciones de paz, pero que no han rendido frutos”. A esto, se le suma, según Palma, el aumento de la producción de cocaína en el País. “Es un momento muy gris en términos de seguridad, en términos de paz, en muchos de los territorios más remotos de Colombia. Y esta idea del plan pistola no es más, sino otro de los síntomas”, concluyó.
