Chris and David join the Armchair Expert to discuss the Miami Vice dream of being stationed in 1980s Florida as a DEA agent, the mechanics of providing transport for drug cartels, and how they became involved in the pursuit of the Cali cartel in Colombia. Chris, David, and Dax talk about the true magnitude of Pablo Escobar as the world's first narcoterrorist, how Cali cartel's approach to power differed from Medellín's, and why those at such a high level in cartels can't quit while they're ahead. Chris and David explain breaking the rules by working unilaterally to get the job done, operating under the assumption that everything and everyone was corrupt, and the real-life raid to capture the head of Cali that inspired Narcos Season 3.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

25. Exclusive Interview: Carlos Lehder, Founder of Medellin Cartel

The Medellin Cartel rose in the 1980s by flooding the United States with cocaine, providing dope to dance floors in Miami all the way to crack houses in Los Angeles. Forbes magazine once estimated the tidal wave of powder made the cartel's top trafficker Pablo Escobar $9 billion and its No. 2, Carlos Lehder, another $2.7 billion. While these numbers are likely major over-estimates of how much individual narcos actually keep, the cocaine trade certainly served up billions of dollars to Colombia, fueling an armed conflict involving the cartels, army, leftist guerillas and right wing paramilitaries that tore the South American nation apart and left a lot of families weeping. Escobar gained an infamy alongside Al Capone and later El Chapo as the most well-known mobsters of all time. But Lehder was also a fascinating character. He personally piloted planes and had his own private island in The Bahamas, which he used as a trampoline to bounce blow state side. The son of a German, he was portrayed by Netflix Narcos with a swastika tattoo as a Neo-Nazi narco. And he went on to become the star witness against the Panamanian dictator General Noriega, who was a CIA agent and an ally of Medellin Cartel before the U.S. invasion of Panama took him down in 1989. So when I recently got a message that I would have a chance to interview Lehder, who is now free and back in Colombia after a 33-year stint in prison, I scrambled to get there as quick as I could. The man I discovered was more humble and less boastful than you might expect, but then decades in a cell including four years in solitary, changes you. He has written a memoir of “Life and Death of the Medellin Cartel,” which you can find here and provides a revealing first-hand account to understand the period. We spoke for hours in what I believe is Carlos' first English language interview. He goes into fascinating details about how the Medellin Cartel really functioned, its relationship with guerillas and paramilitaries, and how they owned governments and supplied the U.S.-backed Contra rebels. He also gets personal about what years in solitary does to your brain. I'm proud to say this episode show cases an important testimony that helps understand the history of the eighties in the Americas, while its also intriguing to see the man behind the myth.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.” 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.

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.
