In this unforgettable episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, Joe is joined by the one and only Devocite for a dynamic, nerd-filled ride that perfectly blends fandom, fatherhood, and fun. With Charles out for the episode, Joe and Devocite hold down the mic and deliver a show packed with cult classic movies, Pokémon dad jokes, tech support tales, book talk, anime hype, and meaningful parenting conversation. As always, the episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite cult classic movie?” What follows is a lively discussion featuring iconic films like Big Trouble in Little China, Full Metal Jacket, Shrek, and The Princess Bride. From over-the-top action to quotable fantasy adventures, Joe and Devocite celebrate the movies that defined late-night rewatches and built lifelong fandoms. Then it's time for the traditional roll of the dice — and fate delivers Pokémon-themed Bad Dad Jokes courtesy of Bob and Joe. The groans come fast, the puns come faster, and yes… they absolutely choose you. The dice roll again and summon the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Joe and Devocite swap tech support stories from the trenches. From baffling user errors to head-shaking troubleshooting moments, the stories are equal parts hilarious and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever worked in IT. Next up, the “How Do I…?” segment gives Devocite the spotlight as he explains how to get started with Meshtastic. Whether you're mesh-curious or deep into off-grid communication tech, this practical breakdown offers a helpful introduction for beginners looking to expand their nerd toolkit. The dice continue their magical work and guide the show into “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Devocite dives into his latest reads, having just finished Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey and Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson. Up next on his reading list? Dungeon Crawler Carl, inspired largely by Joe's enthusiastic recommendations on previous episodes. Meanwhile, Joe is back on his anime streak, this time nerding out about Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None, continuing his ongoing exploration of hidden animated gems. Finally, the episode closes with a powerful “Parliament of Papas” discussion. Joe and Devocite reflect on a story about a mother who gets a creepy gut feeling about her daughter's friend's stepdad and ultimately decides not to allow a sleepover at their house. The hosts dive into the importance of parental intuition, trusting your gut, and prioritizing your children's safety — even when it feels awkward or uncomfortable. It's a thoughtful, grounded conversation that reminds listeners that being a nerd is great… but being a present, protective parent matters most. From cult classic movies and dad jokes to tech talk, fantasy novels, anime discoveries, and meaningful parenting discussions, this episode has something for everyone. It's another perfect reminder to embrace what you love, connect with your people, and always Find your FAMdom. Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom Learn more about your ad choices.

Das Cellospielen war ihr in die Wiege gelegt. Und das nicht nur, weil der Cellokasten beim Fangenspielen so ein gutes Versteck ist. Schon ihr Vater hat im berühmtem Hagen-Quartett das Cello gestrichen. Mittlerweile ist Julia Hagen (*1995) zum Cello-Shootingstar avanciert und tritt selbst mit dem Quartett des Papas auf. Julia Hagen ist fest davon überzeugt, dass man den Inhalt eines Liedes auch dann verstehen kann, wenn die Melodie nur ausdrucksstark genug von einem Cello gespielt wird. Lieder von Brahms und Schubert hat sie mit in die Sendung gebracht, aber auch Volksmusik aus ihrer österreichischen Heimat und Songs von den Beatles (natürlich gespielt von einem Cello-Ensemble).

In this action-packed and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, hosts Charles and Joe once again invite listeners to laugh, reflect, and truly Find your FAMdom. Blending fatherhood, fandom, and fun, this episode delivers everything longtime fans love—deep nerd debates, relatable parenting wisdom, terrible dad jokes, and meaningful personal stories. The adventure begins with the Question of the Week: “Batman with prep time vs. anyone else — do you buy the meme, or is it massively overblown?” Charles steps up to defend the Dark Knight, passionately arguing that Batman's intellect, strategy, and preparation make him capable of defeating virtually any opponent given enough time. Is the meme exaggerated, or is the Caped Crusader truly unstoppable with prep? The debate sets the tone for a lively and thoughtful discussion that comic book fans won't want to miss. With the traditional roll of the dice guiding the show, the first segment lands on “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe dives headfirst into yet another anime obsession—this time the isekai series HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing. He breaks down what makes this hardcore leveling fantasy stand out in the crowded isekai genre and why it's worth checking out. Meanwhile, Charles shares his excitement over powerful new tools he's discovered for creating podcast clips and social media content, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how Wise_N_Nerdy continues to grow its online presence. Next, the dice bring on the groans with a collection of bad dad jokes submitted by listeners. First up: a series of pun-filled zingers allegedly from Devocite's mom. Then Bob steps up to the mic with his own batch of eye-roll-inducing classics. It's peak dad humor at its finest—equal parts painful and hilarious. The fates then roll into the thoughtful “How Do I…?” segment, tackling a real-world parenting challenge: How should you react if your child gets in a fight? Charles and Joe explore the nuances of parenting through conflict. While both agree that violence should never be the first solution, they acknowledge that context matters—especially when dealing with bullying. It's an honest, balanced conversation about teaching kids self-control, discernment, and confidence in difficult situations. From there, it's time for the heartfelt “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment. Joe shares a deeply personal memory of how the Star Wars board game Epic Duels helped him cope during one of the hardest seasons of his life—when Papa NASCAR was in a coma shortly before his passing. Charles reflects on how watching Love on the Spectrum has broadened his perspective and helped him grow in empathy and understanding. These stories remind listeners that fandom isn't just entertainment—it can be comfort, connection, and healing. Finally, the episode wraps with the fan-favorite “Parliament of Papas” segment, where Charles and Joe discuss a surprisingly relatable topic: people who emit strong odors—particularly heavy perfume use in the workplace. It's a humorous yet honest conversation about social awareness, workplace etiquette, and navigating awkward situations as adults and dads. From superhero strategy debates and anime deep dives to parenting wisdom and personal reflection, this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy delivers laughs, insight, and heart in equal measure.

En este episodio de Arpa Talks conversamos con Elisabetta Piqué, corresponsal en Roma y el Vaticano desde hace más de 25 años y autora de "El último Cónclave"La conversación comienza con el funcionamiento interno del Vaticano: cómo se gobierna y cómo está organizada la Curia Romana. Piqué explica también cómo es ejercer el oficio de corresponsal siendo mujer dentro de una de las instituciones más herméticas del mundo.Hablamos después del pontificado de Francisco: su estilo de gobierno, su mayor contribución a la Iglesia y los temas que dejó abiertos, entre ellos la gestión de los abusos sexuales. Piqué, que anticipó su elección en 2013 y lo conoció personalmente durante más de dos décadas, aporta una mirada singular sobre su liderazgo y su relación con Argentina.La conversación se adentra luego en el cónclave: qué ocurre realmente cuando los cardenales se encierran, cómo se construyen las mayorías y cómo se explica la elección de León XIV (Robert Prevost), su trayectoria previa y qué se espera de su pontificado.También analizamos el cambio de eje en la Iglesia contemporánea: de un Vaticano tradicionalmente eurocéntrico a una relación mucho más visible con el Sur Global, y las tensiones que ese desplazamiento genera.Un episodio para entender el poder, las dinámicas internas y los desafíos actuales de la Iglesia católica.——¿Quieres apoyar Arpa Talks?1.

In this fun, heartfelt, and thoughtfully nerdy episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe invite listeners into a conversation that blends nostalgia, parenting wisdom, and fandom reflection—everything that makes the show a home for modern nerdy parents. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What was your favorite toy growing up?” From timeless classics like Legos, skateboards, and Matchbox cars to more modern favorites like the Nintendo Switch, the hosts and listeners alike reminisce about the toys that sparked imagination, independence, and joy. It's a warm dive into childhood memories that naturally sets the tone for deeper conversations about growing up—and raising kids today. As always, the roll of the dice shakes things up, landing first on a round of Bad Dad Jokes, delivered with maximum groan potential by Bob and Devocite. It's silly, it's painful, and it's exactly the kind of humor that makes dads laugh while everyone else shakes their head. Next up is the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe shares stories from an amazing family trip to WonderWorks, celebrating hands-on fun and quality time together, while also geeking out over how his new iPhone 17 Pro captures incredible photos of those moments. Charles brings his own excitement, praising the new Muppet Show and hoping for many more episodes, before showing off a fresh order of enamel pins featuring Charles as an owl, blending creativity with personal fandom flair. The dice then guide the hosts into the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Charles and Joe reflect on the wild things they did as kids—like traveling to other states without their parents—that they would never dream of allowing their own children to do today. It's a thoughtful comparison between generations that highlights how parenting, safety, and expectations have evolved. In the “How Do I…?” segment, the conversation turns deeply personal as the hosts discuss how they show up for their families, emphasizing the importance of spending intentional, quality time together. It's a powerful reminder that presence matters more than perfection, especially in a busy, screen-filled world. Finally, the episode wraps with a meaningful Parliament of Papas discussion, where Charles and Joe tackle an important question: When does collecting or nerding out cross the line into unhealthy obsession? With honesty and empathy, they explore balance, self-awareness, and modeling healthy passions for their kids—all while encouraging listeners to reflect on their own fandom habits and Find your FAMdom. This episode perfectly captures the heart of Wise_N_Nerdy: laughter, learning, nostalgia, and real conversations about being a parent who still loves the things that make them who they are.

¿Cómo pudo un hombre engañar a tres Papas, construir un imperio financiero y mantener familias ocultas mientras era venerado como un santo? En este episodio, desglosamos el perfil psicológico de Marcial Maciel, el fundador de los Legionarios de Cristo. Analizamos su estructura de poder, sus identidades falsas y cómo utilizó la fe como escudo para una de las redes de abuso más complejas del siglo XX. Un viaje a las sombras de la impunidad y el silencio que sacudió los cimientos del Vaticano.
"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."
In dieser Folge wird's emotional, ehrlich und – wie immer – auch ziemlich absurd. Christoph berichtet von seinem olympiareifen Kater-Wochenende (Curling und Couch inklusive) und Felix versucht, Dankbarkeit in Kindermägen zu implantieren – doch Joris kontert gnadenlos mit: «Zweimal hatten wir Sandwiches dabei!» Die beiden Papas diskutieren, ab wann Kinder eigentlich wirklich dankbar sein können (Spoiler: Mit vier nicht, mit sechs vielleicht – mit 35 sollte es klappen), ob zu viel Dankbarkeit nervt, und ob man in einer Beziehung eher mal danke sagt oder lieber schweigt und Blumen kauft. Mit dabei:

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe once again roll the dice—literally—to guide the conversation through fatherhood, fandom, and plenty of laughs along the way. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What's a weird talent that you have?” Joe admits to a surprisingly impressive (and mildly dangerous) skill—tossing food into the air and catching it in his mouth—while Charles confesses he is unnervingly good at towel snapping, a talent that may or may not have struck fear into siblings everywhere. With the dice deciding their fate, the show jumps first into Parliament of Papas, where Charles and Joe tackle a modern relationship dilemma: is it ever okay to skip ahead in a show you're watching with someone else? The discussion balances humor, honesty, and hard-earned dad wisdom, as they explore trust, spoilers, and unspoken TV-watching rules. Next up is the “How Do I…?” segment, where the hosts get real about helping kids with homework—especially when it's been years (or decades) since they last saw the material. From relearning concepts on the fly to modeling perseverance and curiosity, Charles and Joe share practical strategies that resonate with parents everywhere. Then the episode hits a high (or low, depending on your tolerance) point with Bad Dad Jokes, featuring a special guest appearance by Joe's son, Bob. Bob delivers a rapid-fire barrage of jokes so groan-worthy that the segment earns a new name: “Groans with Charles.” It's wholesome, hilarious, and peak Wise_N_Nerdy energy. The dice roll again, ushering in “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe dives into the anime Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord, praising it as a low-stakes power fantasy isekai that's perfect comfort viewing. Charles follows up by nerding out about something closer to home—recent snow days—and the unexpected joy and chaos they bring to family life. The episode wraps with “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” as Charles and Joe reflect on the fandoms that shaped them growing up. They focus especially on Star Wars and Star Trek, discussing how these universes sparked imagination, values, and lifelong connections that they now share with their own kids. It's a heartfelt reminder of why fandom matters—and how it bridges generations. Whether you're here for parenting advice, nerdy tangents, or laughs that make you shake your head, this episode invites you to Find your FAMdom and enjoy the ride.

Welcome back to another unforgettable episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, where hosts Charles and Joe once again blend fandom fun with real-life fatherhood wisdom. This week's adventure kicks off with the classic Question of the Week: If you could be a cartoon character for a week, who would you be? Joe dives headfirst into the world of anime by choosing Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, embracing alchemy, sacrifice, and epic character growth. Meanwhile, Charles goes full power fantasy by picking Sung Jin-woo from Solo Leveling, imagining a week of leveling up, shadow armies, and unstoppable strength. With the ceremonial roll of the dice setting the tone, the show jumps straight into “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe shares his recent reading marathon, revealing that since Christmas he powered through books 3–7 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. He describes the experience as an intense and wildly entertaining ride, while strongly reminding listeners that this series is definitely not kid-friendly. Charles balances things out with some tasty real-world wins, nerding out over all-you-can-eat sushi and his surprise movie night watching Mercy starring Chris Pratt through AMC's Screen Unseen program. Next, the dice unleash everyone's favorite groan-worthy segment: Bad Dad Jokes. With jokes supplied by Devocite and one delivered by Joe about a woman who completes 40 weeks of bodybuilding, laughter and eye-rolls abound in classic Wise_N_Nerdy fashion. The fun then turns practical with the “How Do I…?” segment, where Charles and Joe open up about their personal experiences planning for retirement. From long-term thinking to balancing family needs and future goals, the conversation offers relatable insight for parents navigating adult responsibilities while still geeking out. Storytime arrives with “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” and Charles delivers a gripping tale from his teenage years in the Civil Air Patrol, involving a surplus base and some questionable “souvenir collecting.” It's part nostalgia, part cautionary tale, and completely entertaining. Finally, the episode wraps up with a thoughtful Parliament of Papas discussion: At what age is it appropriate to let kids have social media accounts? Charles and Joe break down the pros, cons, safety concerns, and real-world parenting challenges that come with raising kids in a digital age. It's the perfect blend of humor, heart, and honest conversation that reminds listeners why they tune in every week to Find your FAMdom with this dynamic duo.

This episode of Wise_N_Nerdy brings together fatherhood, fandom, and mental health as Charles and Joe are joined by special guest Todd Sarner, a licensed psychotherapist, parenting coach, and the founder of Transformative Parenting. Blending nerdy fun with meaningful conversation, this episode is a perfect example of how pop culture and real-life parenting lessons can coexist. The show kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could have any two IPs do a crossover, which two would you choose?” The conversation quickly spirals into delightful chaos as the hosts imagine dream mashups like Star Trek meeting The Lord of the Rings, Quantum Leap crossing paths with Doctor Who, and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles teaming up with Demon Slayer. It's imaginative, passionate, and exactly the kind of nerdy debate fans love. As tradition demands, the roll of the dice sends the crew straight into a round of truly unfunny bad dad jokes—the kind that hurt to hear and somehow hurt even more to tell. Groans are plentiful, dignity is lost, and the tone is perfectly set for what comes next. In the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, Todd shares his personal and professional journey into therapy, opening up about what led him to create Transformative Parenting and why helping families navigate emotional growth has become his life's work. It's a heartfelt look at how experience, empathy, and intention shape better parents and healthier kids. That naturally leads into the “How Do I…?” segment, where Charles, Joe, and Todd dig into the benefits of therapy—especially for children. They discuss breaking stigmas, building emotional tools early, and how therapy can be a proactive support rather than a last resort. It's an encouraging reminder for parents that seeking help is a strength, not a failure, and a powerful way to Find your FAMdom through support, connection, and understanding. The dice then decree it's time for the Parliament of Papas, featuring a legendary parenting tale of epic revenge. The hosts unpack a story where a father proves a point by allowing his kids to “loot” his brother's house—turning a teachable moment into a hilarious and unforgettable lesson about consequences. To close things out, the episode dives into “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe offers a balanced and thoughtful take on the newly released Hytale, highlighting both its strengths and noticeable flaws while expressing excitement for its future potential. Charles passionately rants and raves about Tron: Ares, while Todd nerds out over the growing power of AI as a transformative tool—and shares some personal joy by talking about his upcoming nuptials. It's an episode packed with laughs, insight, and heart—bringing together expert parenting wisdom and unapologetic fandom in a way only Wise_N_Nerdy can.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In the first episode of this brand-new series, host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti, and together they discuss the classic psych band's entire recorded output with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 1 covers the incredible story of the band's early days, as the band coheres and releases one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: How Randy California wound up crossing paths with Jimi Hendrix in a life-changing moment as a teenager that set him on his path for the rest of his life; How a teenage kid wound up playing in a band with his 45-year-old step-father in an era when you were supposed to distrust anyone over 30; How Mamas & The Papas producer Lou Adler wound up taking the band under his wing; The lawsuit with Led Zeppelin over “Stairway To Heaven”, and the Spirit song which they allegedly stole for it; And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Spirit, their 1968 debut record.

Episode 409 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ilia Papas, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Band and Blue Apron. Do you know what the enchilada factor is? Probably not… unless you were part of the Blue Apron team that created a national brand and one of the pillar companies in the meal-kit food delivery category that ultimately went public. In this interview, Ilia shares the inside look at those hypergrowth years, including the company's use of machine learning for planning labor and food ordering, so they could fulfill those enchilada orders (also known internally as the enchilada factor) which always caused a spike when it was offered on the menu. Ilia's latest company is Band—and no, it's not the musical kind. Instead, the company is focused on a massive, underserved sector where trillions of dollars flow between businesses, yet technical innovation has been severely lacking. Band has built the smart operating system for B2B trade agreements, providing AI-powered rebate and incentive tracking for distributors, manufacturers, and purchasing groups. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * Ilia's background story, plus the details on his siblings and their collective success in the tech industry. * Interning at his brother Art's company, Bullhorn, and then building the foundation of his career at web consulting firms like Molecular and Optaros, where he worked on the original version of Rue La La. * How he met his co-founder, Matt Salzburg, and why they pivoted from a “Kickstarter for science” idea to food delivery in 2012. * Bringing on a third co-founder, Matt Wadiak, who brought the culinary expertise and why they names the company Blue Apron. * Their approach to growth marketing to compete against HelloFresh & Plated and scaling to millions of meals a week. * The story of the IPO in 2017 and the unique challenges of running a publicly traded company * All the details about Band and why Ilia chose this underserved industry, plus how his approach to building a company is different this time around. * And so much more!

This episode of Wise_N_Nerdy with Charles and Joe is a heartfelt, humorous, and very on-brand celebration of family, fandom, and the traditions that bring us together—especially during the holiday season. As always, the show blends thoughtful parenting conversations with nerdy joy, proving once again why listeners are encouraged to Find your FAMdom.The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite family tradition?” Charles and Joe reminisce about the rituals that make the holidays feel magical. From visiting an idyllic Christmas tree farm that feels like it was lifted straight out of a Hallmark movie, to making annual trips to Stone Mountain Park, to sipping eggnog while decorating the Christmas tree, the discussion is filled with warmth, nostalgia, and relatable family moments that resonate with parents everywhere.With the roll of the dice, the show jumps into the “How Do I…?” segment, where Charles and Joe break down the pros and cons of white elephant gift exchanges. They explore how, with the right group of people and expectations, these exchanges can be hilariously fun—or painfully awkward. Their practical advice and lived experience help listeners decide whether a white elephant exchange will spark joy or chaos at their next gathering.Next up is the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, which leans hard into the spirit of giving. Charles and Joe share stories about generosity, including meaningful traditions like angel trees and secretly doing the 12 Days of Christmas for a family in need. These stories highlight the power of quiet kindness and the lasting impact of teaching children the joy of giving rather than receiving.The dice then lead into “What Are You Nerding Out About?”, where Joe talks about the time-loop holiday movie Pete's Christmas, praising its heartfelt message about appreciating family and friends before it's too late. Charles follows up with an eclectic mix of nerdy passions—discussing Cult of the Lamb and confidently declaring how naturally gifted he is as a cult leader, before shifting gears to gush about his love for the Alien franchise and how much he enjoyed Alien Earth.Of course, no episode would be complete without bad dad jokes, and this batch is strong enough to earn even a reluctant chuckle from Charles—high praise by Wise_N_Nerdy standards.The episode wraps up with a spirited “Parliament of Papas” discussion tackling a classic holiday debate: Is Scrooge actually a villain? Charles firmly plants his flag on the villain side, while Joe pushes back, questioning whether Scrooge is truly evil or simply a deeply flawed man capable of growth. It's a thoughtful, funny conversation that invites listeners to reconsider a familiar story through a dad-lens.From family traditions and holiday generosity to nerdy obsessions and philosophical debates, this episode perfectly captures what Wise_N_Nerdy does best—bringing humor, heart, and fandom together for parents who love both.Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets FandomLinks - Devo creating the WNN gavel: https://youtu.be/VFKqTSmtoAQDevo's cupid shuffle: https://youtube.com/shorts/Z8SmRJlLJLo?feature=share
Merry Christmas! 'Tis the season to light your fireplaces and put out your colanders -- the 12 Days of Christmas are here! And of course you know, that means those pesky Kalikantzari (Christmas goblins) are back again, sowing mischief and cruel tricks. But it's not all bad news. Minos Papas' latest feature film* is making its rounds globally and featuring at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. I had the opportunity to screen the movie a couple weeks ago and chat again with Minos. This film is truly his love letter to Cyprus, its history and its heritage. In this episode, we chat about the performances, the themes and the post-production that went into the film. You'll also get to hear updates on how and when you can see the movie! *If you missed our first interview with Minos on the folklore and the making of Motherwitch, check out "Fantasy, Folklore & Film: 'Motherwitch' with Minos Papas" (October 2024) >>> https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2026/films/motherwitch
Tanto en las tiendas de souvenirs del Vaticano como en el corazón de los fieles católicos, conviven el recuerdo del papa Francisco como la presencia naciente de su sucesor, León XIV. RFI conversó con creyentes en la Plaza San Pedro acerca de este nuevo papado en vísperas de la Navidad. En la Plaza San Pedro, en el corazón del Vaticano, el pesebre ha sido montado y todo está listo para la primera Navidad del papado de León XIV. En los puestos de souvenirs, nadie diría, sin embargo, que la era del papa Francisco ha terminado. Las imágenes del pontífice argentino se venden tanto como las de León, que todavía sigue siendo algo desconocido para los fieles. “Este Papa es bastante reciente, no ha tenido el tiempo de exponerse también. Es un poco pronto para hablar, pensaría yo”, explica Sebastián, un joven colombiano. La italiana Martina reconoce que León XIV ha tenido poco tiempo para que su mensaje cale. Pero critica que no tenga la espontaneidad y valentía que tanto reconocimiento le valieron a Francisco. “Digamos que aún no lo conocemos muy bien, pero no sé, la diferencia respecto al papa Francisco se ve en cosas como el lenguaje o la toma de posiciones. Se expone menos que el papa Francisco. Lo creo yo y muchas otras personas. Algo en lo que León XIV se diferenció inmediatamente fue en la humildad, cómo apareció el primer día del papado. Hubo una gran diferencia”, opina Martina. Las diferencias en el estilo han quedado patentes en el primer viaje papal internacional. En 2013, Francisco eligió Brasil y acaparó titulares al abogar por la integración, y no la marginalización, de los homosexuales. León ha elegido países de minoría católica, como Líbano y Turquía. Aunque su mensaje ha sido de paz, se ha mostrado comedido y discreto. Con todo, algunos fieles latinoamericanos creen que dejará huella, a pesar de su menor carisma. “Francisco fue importante dentro de la religión católica en los últimos años, ya que unió harto a la Iglesia con las personas. Entonces, ojalá siga en la misma senda y que una a más gente. Pero bueno, el papa de hoy en día también es latinoamericano, tiene orígenes de Perú. Entonces igual nosotros como latinoamericanos, nos sentimos representados por su figura como padre”, estima Ignacio, chileno. La próxima gran ocasión para conocer a León XIV será en las festividades navideñas, cuando celebre su primera Misa del Gallo.

On February 4, 1941, Bronx police officers were called to the home of John and Catherine Pappas for a report of a homicide. Based on the evidence, detectives theorized that someone had been invited into the Pappas apartment while Catherine was home alone and that same someone had strangled her to death, then ransacked the apartment looking for valuables. To investigators the scene resembled a fairly straightforward robbery-homicide; however, to detective Ed Burns, there were elements of the crime scene that bore a striking similarity to another assault and robbery case he'd been assigned to just two weeks earlier in another part of the Bronx. What followed was an investigation that exploded in size from a single robbery-gone-wrong that resulted in a murder to a sprawling serial sexual assault case that would eventually involve more than eighty victims in eight states, all victimized by the same man. The hunt for the Aspirin Bandit is among the more remarkable cases in New York criminal history, not only because of the number of victims, but also because of the tremendous effort and coordination put forth to catch the killer—effort and coordination that, in 1941, was virtually unheard of.Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesBrooklyn Eagle. 1941.
