Podcasts about Panama

Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers came to Boquete, Panama for a fresh start—volunteering, exploring, and soaking up what guidebooks promised was a welcoming mountain town. Then, on April 1, 2014, they step onto the El Pianista trail with a small blue backpack and a plan that should've taken only a few hours. They reach the Continental Divide. They take photos. And then, they don't come back.In Episode 1, Dr. Phil breaks down the known timeline, the geography that can turn one wrong decision into a life-threatening trap, and the earliest digital breadcrumbs, failed emergency call attempts, power-ups that suggest battery conservation, and a pattern that raises one terrifying question: were they simply lost… or were they not alone?

The Panamanian government formally took over the two ports operated by Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison this week at both ends of the Panama Canal. U.S. officials celebrated the move as part of their larger effort to expel China from the Western Hemisphere. Washington has now set its sights on the Chinese-owned Chancay mega port in Peru. But given the extent of Chinese engagement in Latin America, most notably the fact that the region does more than half-a-trillion dollars of trade annually with China, is it even possible for the U.S. to expel the Chinese? Pedro Armada, a Panama City-based risk consultant who closely follows the U.S.-China rivalry in Latin America, joins Eric to discuss what happens next following the expulsion of CK Hutchison from the canal zone and what it means for the rest of Latin America.

Arbitrating Empire: United States Expansion and the Transformation of International Law (Oxford UP, 2024) by Dr. Allison Powers offers a new history of the emergence of the United States as a global power-one shaped as much by attempts to insulate the US government from international legal scrutiny as it was by efforts to project influence across the globe. Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States, Mexico, Panama, and the United Kingdom, the book traces how thousands of dispossessed residents of US-annexed territories petitioned international Claims Commissions between the 1870s and the 1930s to charge the United States with violating international legal protections for life and property.Through attention to the consequences of their unexpected claims, Dr. Powers demonstrates how colonized subjects, refugees from slavery, and migrant workers transformed a series of tribunals designed to establish the legality of US imperial interventions into sites through which to challenge the legitimacy of US colonial governance. One of the first social histories of international law, the book argues that contests over meanings of sovereignty and state responsibility that would reshape the mid-twentieth-century international order were waged not only at diplomatic conferences, but also in Arizona copper mines, Texas cotton fields, Samoan port cities, Cuban sugar plantations, and the locks and stops of the Panama Canal.Arbitrating Empire uncovers how ordinary people used international law to hold the United States accountable for state-sanctioned violence during the decades when the nation was first becoming a global empire-and demonstrates why State Department attempts to erase their claims transformed international law in ways that continue to shield the US government from liability to this day. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

For many Canadian Jews who grew up feeling secure here, the idea of needing a ‘Plan B' might have never occurred to them. Unthinkable, even. It was something their grandparents faced before the Holocaust. But in recent months, that conversation is now happening in many Jewish spaces across this country — even among people who have no immediate plans to leave. Some families are actively scouting Florida, despite the political and immigration challenges which the U.S.A. poses. Others are traveling to Panama, to explore buying property there just in case-where permanent residency is attainable. Real estate agents and immigration lawyers in Israel and beyond are fielding new calls. And communities in the U.S. and Israel are marketing directly to Canadians: you will have heard about Lech L'Tulsa, Oklahoma. But is this a real demographic shift — or is it something deeper: a rupture in confidence about the future of Jewish life in Canada in response to rising antisemitism and uncertainty? Today on The CJN's flagship podcast North Star, host Ellin Bessner examines why some Canadian Jews are looking for Plan B: we speak with Aryeh Snitman and his wife Heather Snitman of Thornhill who're exploring both Florida and Panama; with Jaqueline Lewis, of Toronto, who bought a place in Panama just a few months ago; and with Lauren Cohen, a Canadian-born lawyer based in Boca Raton, Florida who provides immigration business and real estate guidance to clients considering moving to “Mechaya Florida”. Related links: Learn more about Tafsik's Plan B resources, their next trip to Panama in March , and watch their Zoom video about moving to Panama.

Arbitrating Empire: United States Expansion and the Transformation of International Law (Oxford UP, 2024) by Dr. Allison Powers offers a new history of the emergence of the United States as a global power-one shaped as much by attempts to insulate the US government from international legal scrutiny as it was by efforts to project influence across the globe. Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States, Mexico, Panama, and the United Kingdom, the book traces how thousands of dispossessed residents of US-annexed territories petitioned international Claims Commissions between the 1870s and the 1930s to charge the United States with violating international legal protections for life and property.Through attention to the consequences of their unexpected claims, Dr. Powers demonstrates how colonized subjects, refugees from slavery, and migrant workers transformed a series of tribunals designed to establish the legality of US imperial interventions into sites through which to challenge the legitimacy of US colonial governance. One of the first social histories of international law, the book argues that contests over meanings of sovereignty and state responsibility that would reshape the mid-twentieth-century international order were waged not only at diplomatic conferences, but also in Arizona copper mines, Texas cotton fields, Samoan port cities, Cuban sugar plantations, and the locks and stops of the Panama Canal.Arbitrating Empire uncovers how ordinary people used international law to hold the United States accountable for state-sanctioned violence during the decades when the nation was first becoming a global empire-and demonstrates why State Department attempts to erase their claims transformed international law in ways that continue to shield the US government from liability to this day. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts.

Du Panama à Paris, en passant par l'Arizona (où Harry...) ; 3 artistes, un solo guitare-voix et un duo accordéon/sax-clarinette, grand choix ! Notre 1ère invitée est Michelle Blades pour Where To ? Artiste aux multiples facettes, Michelle Blades revient avec 'You're The Mother, You're The Man', morceau d'ouverture et premier extrait de son nouvel album Where To? à paraitre l'année prochaine. À la fois intime et universelle, cette chanson compte parmi les plus anciennes du disque. Elle a été écrite en 2018 à Mexico, bien avant que le reste de l'album ne prenne forme en 2023. Née d'un souvenir d'enfance et d'une réflexion sur le rôle de parent solitaire, 'You're The Mother, You're The Man' s'est d'abord imposée comme un mantra poétique adressé à la mère de l'artiste, elle aussi née au Mexique. Musicalement, l'écriture s'est nourrie de deux influences majeures : l'expérimentation des silences comme éléments rythmiques mais aussi l'inspiration de Book of Days de Meredith Monk, dont l'approche vocale et spatiale a profondément marqué Michelle Blades depuis son arrivée en Arizona en 2010. Réinterprétée au moment de l'enregistrement de Where To?, la chanson a pris corps à La Bergerie, dans le sud de la France, au cours de neuf jours d'hiver. Entourée d'Emmanuel Mario (alias Astrobal), Nina Savary, Gaétan Nonchalant et Vincent Guyot, Michelle Blades a enregistré guitare et voix. Gaétan Nonchalant y a ajouté des touches de Rhodes, brisant le caractère répétitif du mantra pour y glisser des éclats de mémoire. Des couches vocales sont ensuite venues s'entrelacer, créant un équilibre subtil entre densité et dépouillement. Le clip, réalisé par Ilan Zerrouki, accompagne ce morceau fondateur. Née au Panama dans une famille de musiciens, Michelle Blades a grandi aux États-Unis avant de développer une esthétique unique, entre expérimentation et sensibilité pop. Après ses débuts DIY en Arizona, elle s'installe à Paris et collabore durant dix ans avec Midnight Special Records, publiant notamment les albums Ataraxia (2015), Premature Love Songs (2017) et Visitor (2019) et l'EP Nombrar las cosas (2020). Exploratrice musicale, elle multiplie aussi les collaborations : bassiste aux côtés de Pomme en tournée, arrangeuse sur le dernier album de Flavien Berger (Plouf!), membre du groupe éphémère La Brume, ou encore chanteuse au sein de La Femme, avec qui elle a parcouru le monde. Avec 'You're The Mother, You're The Man', Michelle Blades ouvre une nouvelle page de son univers artistique, entre héritage personnel, recherche sonore et désir de transmission. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Dear Friend Live RFI  - You're the mother, You're the man ? extrait CD - I Missed the Dance Live RFI. Line Up : Michelle Blades (guitare, voix) Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Where To ? (Escargot Musique / IDOL 2026). Instagram - YouTube.   Puis nous recevons Robin Fincker et Janick Martin pour la sortie de Vison Visu. « Les deux hommes s'assirent vison-visu. Pierrot eut vaguement l'impression d'avoir déjà rencontré ce type-là quelque part. » Raymond Queneau, Pierrot, 1942 Face à face intime et interpellant, Vison Visu réunit l'accordéoniste breton Janick Martin, figure d'une génération de musiciens issus des musiques traditionnelles dont ils réécrivent sans cesse les contours et le saxophoniste et clarinettiste Robin Fincker évoluant depuis une vingtaine d'années sur les scènes de jazz contemporain et musiques improvisées européennes. Musiciens avides de mélodies, fascinés par la formule magique qu'elles peuvent contenir, Vison Visu aspire les airs en profondeur, qu'ils soient d'aujourd'hui ou d'un autre âge, et en déjoue les phrasés conventionnels. Jouant de fractures et de mélismes, de danses et d'improvisations, le duo aux timbres sonnants échange avec passion et intensité. Les deux musiciens se sont rencontrés au sein du quintet Finis Terrae du violoncelliste Vincent Courtois avec lequel Robin Fincker collabore depuis de nombreuses années et ont très rapidement noué une complicité évidente. Suite à une invitation du festival de Jazz à Dissay ils ont élaboré un répertoire faisant cohabiter les compositions originales du duo avec des mélodies venues de Bretagne, d'Ecosse ou du pays Cajun. Véritable croisement des langages traditionnels et contemporains, le duo tisse ainsi un récit où le jeu et la spontanéité se nourrissent de ces mélodies simples au fort pouvoir évocateur. Grâce au soutien du producteur de musique contemporaine Marc Thouvenot (fondateur du label Quicatl), du collectif Le Grand Pas et du studio La Buissonne, le duo s'est vu proposer l'opportunité d'enregistrer son répertoire de manière directe et sans artifices. Installés dans la grande salle du studio, les pièces ont été enregistrées sans coupures, d'un seul jet et en quelques prises seulement permettant au duo de laisser libre cours à son goût de l'imprévu et de la recherche sonore. Mixé par Gérard de Haro et masterisé par Nicolas Baillard à la Buissonne, Vison Visu laisse entendre dans sa musique une expression non-linéaire du passage du temps, faite d'allers-retours de cycles et de jeux de mémoires où le plaisir du jeu et de la narration prévaut sur tout plan préétabli. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Vison Visu Live RFI - Écoutez la plaisante histoire, extrait de l'album - Al Lann Melen Live RFI. Line Up : Janick Martin (accordéon) et Robin Fincker (sax, clarinette). Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Vison Visu (Le Grand Pas / L'Autre Distribution 2025). Instagram.

We sit down with Pablo Arias, Regional Alliances Manager and key expert at International Relocation Partner® (IRP) – a trusted name in international moves with over seven years (and growing) of hands-on experience helping families and professionals relocate worldwide, with strong expertise in popular Latin American destinations like Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, and beyond.We dive deep into one of the biggest questions for anyone moving south: How do you actually ship containers of household goods from North America to Latin America? Pablo breaks it down in plain English – from choosing Full Container Load (FCL) vs. Less than Container Load (LCL), port-to-door logistics, customs rules and potential tax exemptions, avoiding hidden fees/delays, what to ship (or sell/donate), realistic timelines (often 3–6+ weeks by ocean), cost factors, and pro tips to make the process smooth and stress-free.Whether you're an expat eyeing a new life in Playa del Carmen, Panama City, or the Costa Rican coast, a family relocating for work, or just dreaming of that Latin American adventure, this conversation is packed with real-world advice to save time, money, and sanity.

What does it mean to exist at the intersection of race, gender, and culture while still be expected to remain quiet?In this episode of Miss Opinionated, we hold an honest and necessary conversation about the lived experiences of women of color. Joined by a Latina woman from Panama and a Black woman from Louisiana, and grounded in my own experience as a mixed-race woman; Black, Mexican, and Indigenous American. We explore how women of color are consistently silenced, overlooked, and used as testing grounds in medical, social, and academic spaces.We discuss colorism and texturism within our communities, the personal and generational impact they carry, and the emotional toll of being extraordinary yet rarely recognized. From overlooked inventions to uncredited labor, this episode reflects on how women of color continue to shape the world while being denied the visibility and praise given to their white counterparts.This conversation is reflective, critical, and rooted in truth centering lived experience, cultural memory, and the power of naming what has long been ignored.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/giulio-fazio/flamingo-dance-in-loveLicense code: VACIYA6LRUPB4N0X

Police are looking for two teens in separate missing persons cases; organizers and attendees says the 57th Agriculture Show did not disappoint; Cayman Airways adds additional flights between Grand Cayman and Panama; and the clock is ticking for residents and businesses wanting to take part in the islands' biggest environmental cleanup.

When there's a problem, call Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's “fireman.” Last week, Marco Rubio, in keeping with the tradition started by Vice President JD Vance last year, painted a sobering picture of Europe's future. But with a twist. Rubio did not gloat or talk down to his fellow world leaders. Instead, he glorified America's European heritage—a very controversial statement amongst leftists who try to distance themselves from Western norms and cultures—saying that Europe is poised to make the same mistakes America has already made:  letting in 10 million illegal aliens, replacing meritocracy with DEI, failing to maintain military superiority, and forgoing energy independence. Europe is currently backsliding because it, unlike America, does not have a continent full of Donald Trumps to bring about a counterrevolution, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” “It really enhanced the position of Marco Rubio because he's sort of become Trump's fireman. When there's a problem that seems unsolvable or that people, whether it's in Panama or whether it's in the Middle East or whether it's in the Western Hemisphere, people call on Rubio. “And I think we should watch that very carefully because I think we're going to enter into the 2028 race, not with a Vance-Rubio vice president, but with two strong candidates.”

During the 17th century, European nations dominated the world by aggressively establishing colonies across the globe.  Late that century, Scotland sought to join the ranks of these colonial powers with an ambitious effort to seize control of the Darien region in Panama. This attempt to gain a colonial foothold in the Americas began with tremendous national optimism and unified the country as no prior venture had. ….aaaaand it was a total disaster.  Learn more about the Darien Scheme and Scotland's failed attempt at becoming a colonial power on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this deeply inspiring and practical episode of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Darny to explore what it really takes to move overseas and how to do it in a way that feels aligned, intentional, and surprisingly stress-free.Melissa is an American entrepreneur and CEO of Choose Panama Luxury Real Estate & Rental Agency, who has been living her dream life in Panama since 2012. After experiencing profound personal loss, she made a courageous decision to stop waiting for “someday” and instead live it now.This conversation begins, as always, with a gentle heart-focused coherence meditation to ground the nervous system and create space for presence before we dive into the practical and emotional realities of relocating abroad.From there, we explore the mindset shifts, cultural adjustments, business opportunities, and emotional readiness required to successfully move overseas whether full-time or part-time.This episode is an invitation to stop postponing your life and start exploring what might be possible.✨ In this honest and eye-opening conversation, we explored:✅ What it's really like to leave your home country and start over✅ Family-oriented Latino culture and the beauty of community abroad✅ Emotional readiness is there ever a “perfect” time to move?✅ How to test the waters before making a permanent decision✅ The business climate in Panama and why it's entrepreneur-friendly✅ Safety, infrastructure, healthcare, and lifestyle considerations✅ Balancing family ties while building a life in another country✅ Why due diligence matters and how to approach relocation wiselyMelissa shares practical advice for entrepreneurs, families, retirees, and anyone feeling the quiet pull toward a new chapter in another country.Her message is simple yet powerful:Keep your eyes wide open before you leap.Half closed once you land.Some things won't change.The question is can you accept them as part of the charm?If moving overseas has been sitting on your heart for years, this episode may be the clarity you've been waiting for.

This compilation video highlights the evolution of the **seasteading movement**, moving from theoretical debate toward **physical engineering and offshore construction**. Key figures discuss projects in **Panama, Thailand, and the Philippines**, where they are developing modular floating homes, known as **SeaPods or ArkPads**, to foster autonomous ocean communities. The narrative emphasizes **libertarian ideals of freedom**, illustrating how pioneers use **cryptocurrency and crowdfunding** to bypass traditional financial and governmental restrictions. Beyond residential goals, the sources explore advanced technologies like **3D-printed habitats and ocean-based lithium extraction** to ensure environmental and economic sustainability. Ultimately, the text presents seasteading as a resilient, **anti-fragile initiative** that adapts to political and legal challenges by focusing on tangible results over abstract discussion.#Seasteading #SeaPods #ArkPods #FloatingCities #OceanCommunities #ModularFloatingHomes #SeasteadingMovement #LibertarianFuture #CryptoSeasteading #CrowdfundedFreedom #OffshoreLiving #BlueFrontier #SeaSteaders #AutonomousOcean #FloatingHabitat #3DPrintedOcean #OceanLithium #AntiFragile #SeasteadingEngineering #PanamaSeastead #ThailandSeastead #PhilippinesSeastead #FreedomAtSea #OceanPioneers #NextFrontierLivingJoin our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

#210 - What if travel wasn't a checklist but a classroom? I sat with Joy Owens—mother of two, CEO and co-owner of Butler Travel, and veteran of 60 countries—to explore how faith, service, and slow travel can shape a family and a life. From a grandmother who's visited more than 80 countries to Joy's first trip at three months old, her story moves through mission work in Zambia and Kenya, a scrappy road journey toward Argentina, and a solo $10-a-day push to Panama that turned from a rat-infested night into radical hospitality.Joy walks us through teaching in Honduras and Taiwan, the culture shock of moving to Alaska, and why she and her husband bought Butler Travel to serve nonprofits and missionaries with complex ticketing and group logistics. She shares a gripping emergency reroute for a family in Tanzania that helped their daughter reach lifesaving care, and she opens up about surrendering control when December bills loomed, only to witness the agency's busiest month on record. For Joy, faith isn't an accessory; it's how she navigates risk, money, parenting, and purpose.We also dig into the messy magic of traveling with little kids: babies on planes during the quiet months of 2020, a six-week Europe adventure with bikes and tents, and the art of choosing your hard when tantrums and missed trains collide. Joy makes the case for slow travel—one hub, deeper days, fewer repacks—and tells unforgettable stories, from crossing open water in foldable kayaks to a budget misadventure on a Greek island complete with a kindly, very unbothered nude local offering fruit and cheese.If you lead mission trips, plan family journeys, or crave meaningful travel that builds resilience and empathy, this conversation is your map.

What is the point of a country that can freeze your bank account for your views? Today, I talk with Patrick Hiebert, founder of Autris (OTC: AUTR) and Veritas Villages, about why the "First World" is no longer the safest choice for your family. We dive into building Bitcoin citadels and why a "Tranquilo" life in El Salvador offers more security than the West.Patrick proves off-grid living is now a high-end luxury. Using the FIRST philosophy, he builds off-grid homes with localized power and water to ensure policy shifts in a distant capital cannot turn off your lights.Legal hurdles are the biggest barrier, but residency by investment is changing quickly. We compare El Salvador's Freedom Visa to more affordable options where your money goes further. A Nicaragua property or a Panamanian residency might be a better "Plan B" for those seeking legal status on a budget.Building eco-friendly homes in the tropics requires a "buffer" between Western expectations and local delivery. Patrick shares the reality of managing sustainable housing and why hands-on oversight is mandatory to avoid a nightmare.This shift toward sustainable development is a fundamental change in how we define safety. Technology makes relying on centralized systems a choice rather than a necessity. Whether you want a hedge or a new home, the "Bitcoin virus" is building a freer world. -Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Patrick Hiebert:Autris Group (OTCID: AUTR) (Parent Company): https://autrisgroup.comVeritas Villages: https://veritasvillages.comVeritas Villages YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@veritasvillages Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeritasVillagesOfficial/Patrick Hiebert on X: https://x.com/PatrickHiebertLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-hiebert/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00  Intro02:02  What are the core philosophies of freedom-oriented communities? 3:08  How to achieve zero utility costs in luxury off-grid homes?04:53  Is Autris (AUTR) the first public Bitcoin Citadel company?07:02  How do community orchards and gardens solve food security?08:03  Can home Bitcoin mining offset HOA fees and property taxes?13:40  Why is the First World moving to El Salvador in 2026?19:39  Critical construction risks for expats in Central America30:16  Panama vs. El Salvador: Which 2026 residency is better?33:05  Is El Salvador safer than Canada and the UK? 2026 crime stats compared 51:50 Best solar and battery technology for luxury off-grid living in the tropicsLive From Bitcoin Beach

In today's episode, we discuss how investors are cutting ties with DP World following revelations about the CEO's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Two major funds have already suspended capital deployment until the company addresses the situation. Meanwhile, a legal dispute over port terminals in Panama is escalating, with CK Hutchison threatening action against Maersk and local authorities. The conflict arose after Panama's Supreme Court voided contracts for strategic terminals at both ends of the canal. Finally, we look at a surge in cargo crimes across North American freight lanes, including cyber-assisted thefts of high-value goods. Law enforcement agencies have also seized record amounts of narcotics hidden in commercial shipments at the border.

Many people falsely assume residency programs will be there when they're “ready.” In reality, these programs are always evolving: investment thresholds rise, processes become more complicated, and what was once straightforward becomes harder and more expensive to achieve the same outcome.
