Some of the most important battles in history, the ones that changed the course of civilizations, are often very small battles. In 1532, a battle, really just a skirmish, took place, which completely changed the future paths of Peru, Spain, and the entire continent of South America. Despite the importance of this battle, few people have ever even heard of it. Learn more about the Battle of Cajamarca and how it changed the shape of the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Work on the worksite is no joke. But on this trip to Peru, God showed up in a powerful way. Tune in to hear how a miracle helped lighten the load and gave our Builders the strength to keep going.
In this insightful episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee prepares for a road trip with his dog Bear to the Ozarks and reflects on a deeper truth: nothing in life is truly free. From time and energy to peace of mind and love, everything you pursue or maintain has a cost—and the real question is whether the return is worth the currency you're investing. Baylor breaks down how to evaluate the value exchange in your life: in relationships, careers, goals, and everyday decisions. He also shares stories from his travels in Peru and Napa to challenge you to consider whether you're simply in the wrong environment—or playing too small. Key Takeaways: Every Reward Has a Cost: The best things in life may not cost money, but they always require time, energy, and intention. Know Your Currency: Identify the traits, habits, or values you bring to the world—love, discipline, leadership, creativity—and find environments where those are appreciated. Evaluate the Exchange Rate: Are you undervalued where you are? Maybe it's not you—maybe it's the context you're in. Set Personal Litmus Tests: Start tying your investments (time, effort, sacrifices) to measurable returns in your life to determine if you're on the right path. Small Adjustments Unlock Bigger Vision: Sometimes, reevaluating how you operate leads to exponential growth—both personally and financially. Notable Quotes: “The best things in life aren't free—they just cost something other than money.” “If the currency you're offering isn't valued where you are, you might just be in the wrong place.” “You're not broken—you might just be priced in the wrong market.” “Tie your time and energy to something meaningful, and watch your life recalibrate.” “A life well-lived is when the currency you give out comes back in abundance.”
In Episode 129 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Mike and Cameron explore key updates in the points and miles space and take a deep dive into premium travel credit card comparisons. They begin by discussing a community post on whether it's better to use points or pay cash for travel—highlighting that the decision depends on factors like point balances, ease of replenishing, cents-per-point value, and potential devaluations. News updates include Amex offering a 15% transfer bonus to LifeMiles, the Alaska Companion Fare now working on Hawaiian flights, upcoming changes to the Amex Biz Platinum Dell credit, and Bilt preparing to launch new credit cards with Cardless.The main topic centers around comparing high-end cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR), Venture X, Amex Platinum (personal and business), AA Executive, and United Club. The hosts break down annual fees, travel credits, lounge access, and additional perks. For example, while the Venture X remains a value play with its $395 fee offset by a $300 travel credit, the Amex Platinum carries a hefty $695 fee but includes a long list of lifestyle credits and lounge access. They also discuss how each card aligns with different spending patterns and travel habits, including elite status benefits, points multipliers, and authorized user costs. The episode includes both hosts reflecting on their recent travels—Mike's trip to Nashville and Cameron's in-depth Peru itinerary—and sharing useful travel tips, like using airline apps and tools like Flighty to manage flight disruptions effectively.Episode Links:Amex to Lifemiles 15% BonusAlaska Companion pass for Hawaii flightsAmex Business Plat Dell creditBilt Upcoming changesChase Sapphire Reserve personalChase Sapphire Reserve businessCapital One Lounge Access ChangesCapital One Venture X personal vs businessCiti AA Executive United Club cardWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.

God has given all of us an amazing ability to “dream,” and he encourages us to do just that! Indeed the Bible includes some great examples of godly “dreamers”. We'll be looking at some of those in detail, as well as some solid biblical principles for understanding, developing, and fruitfully using the God-given gift of our imaginations. With some frequency the Lord has called Paul and Pris Gossman to embrace new places and challenges, and always he has proven himself gracious faithful, and present as they have followed his lead. Over the years they have served God in the Philippines, Peru, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis, where Paul served as the Executive Director of the World Mission Prayer League. Together they enjoy hiking, travel, photography, and trying new foods. Now working part-time in “semi-retirement,” they like to dream of what the Lord might have next for them, and Paul feels especially called to help other followers of Jesus use their “sanctified imaginations” in discerning God's plan for them.

Jacqueline Flores (Asháninka Indigenous People, Peru) thinks that being a plant doctor is not a title—it is an ancient science of direct encounter. One must take the plants, ingest them, allow them to move through the body, and speak. This is a knowledge revealed slowly, through dreams and disciplined diets, where the plants themselves become teachers.As a traditional healer of the Asháninka people—one of the Amazon's most profound guardians of medicinal plant wisdom—Jacqueline embodies a way of healing rooted in time, reciprocity, and deep attention. She speaks critically of urban worlds that have severed their ties with nature, trading connection for chemical quick fixes that soothe but do not truly cure.True healing, she reminds us, is a slow unfolding. It asks us to relearn how to listen—to the plants, to the forest, to the more-than-human voices that have not stopped speaking.

Are you ready for a deep dive into cinema history?That's certainly not the last acquatic pun you'll get from us as we hunt down one of cinema's most impactful movies: Jaws! The big-mouthed killing machine (literally ... the many breakdowns the "shark" experienced on set are legendary at this point) turns 50 this year and is as relevant as ever a half-century after essentially creating the concept of a summer blockbuster.Dori and Kpolly fire up the engines and chug out into the waters off the coast of Amity to get their hooks into why Jaws remains a must-see movie. Our hosts dig into all of the ingredients that give the film its staying power, from memorable one-liners to sneaky pop-culture references to brilliant casting (particularly the scene-stealing Robert Shaw).They also explore the enduring horror of a shark attack, the iconic John Williams score, and the indelible impression of seeing Jaws on the big screen. Plus, you'll hear what else they've been watching, including The Shark Whisperer and Paddington in Peru.Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

Guiding Question Why does God allow Christians to suffer, and how should we respond when we face ridicule or rejection for living a godly life? Summary In this compelling sermon, Dr. Robert Lewis explores the often-unspoken reality of Christian suffering—not the kind caused by general hardship, but the unique suffering believers face simply for following Christ. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:12–19, he unpacks why this suffering is inevitable, what purpose it serves, and how we are called to respond. With honesty, humility, and clarity, Dr. Lewis addresses the emotional and spiritual challenges that come with being mocked, misunderstood, or even reviled for the mere name "Christian." Using real-life stories—from Bob Dylan's conversion to personal moments of shame and boldness—he helps believers understand that such trials are not strange but deeply meaningful. They test our faith, shape our character, and identify us with Christ's own suffering. And ultimately, they prepare us for joy—now and in eternity. Whether you're enduring peer pressure, workplace opposition, or quiet loneliness for your faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to rejoice and entrust your soul to a faithful Creator. Outline: Introduction The context of 1 Peter and Peter's own martyrdom. Today's suffering may not be physical—but it is real. The Inevitability of Christian Suffering (v.12) “Fiery ordeal” is not strange—it's to be expected. Christian suffering is promised (2 Tim. 3:12). The “bed of roses syndrome” many young believers fall into. The Reason for Christian Suffering (v.12) It tests our faith and proves its authenticity. Real-life example: a Christian in Peru losing his job over integrity. The Benefits of Christian Suffering (vv.13–14) It aligns us with Christ's suffering. There is joy now and joy to come. It brings power and anointing (Spirit of glory rests on us). The Boundaries of Christian Suffering (vv.15–16) Not all suffering is godly—don't suffer for wrongdoing. Avoid becoming a "troublesome meddler." The Perspective of Judgment (vv.17–18) God's judgment starts with the household of God but extends to unbelievers. Suffering reveals both the saved and the condemned. The Proper Response to Suffering (v.19) Entrust your soul to a faithful Creator. Do what is right—stand firm in faith. Conclusion & Prayer Encouragement for those who've faced rejection for their faith. A call to endure joyfully, just as Christ did. Key Takeaways Christian suffering is not optional; it's promised. Living godly in Christ will bring opposition. Suffering is a test. It reveals whether we truly follow Christ or just admire Him from afar. There is joy in suffering. Rejection aligns us with Jesus and assures us of future glory. Suffering brings spiritual power. When we stand up for our faith, God's Spirit strengthens us. Not all suffering is righteous. We must guard against self-inflicted trouble and judgmental attitudes. Eternal perspective is essential. Our present trials are nothing compared to the judgment awaiting those who reject Christ. Scriptural References 1 Peter 4:12–19 – Main passage on Christian suffering and response. 2 Timothy 3:12 – “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” Hebrews 12:1–2 – Jesus endured suffering for the joy set before Him. Romans 8:1 – “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Matthew 5:11–12 – “Blessed are you when others revile you… rejoice and be glad.” Recorded 10/26/80

Bitter Babe takes the second half of RA.997, revelling in the fullness of the Latin electronic continuum. As part of our countdown to the 1000th edition of the RA Podcast, a milestone in the 18-year history of Resident Advisor's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. This week, following heady excursions through Lagos, Kampala, Detroit and Chicago, our focus shifts to Latin America—arguably the story in underground electronic music since the pandemic. After years of being all but ignored internationally, the glut of special club sounds coming out of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and beyond have finally received their flowers. Among the movement's great success stories are two artists who exemplify its refreshingly undogmatic energy: Verraco and Bitter Babe. Bitter Babe, naturally, takes the B. As a DJ, she reflects the fullness of the Latin electronic experience—"diverse, messy, emotional, political and full of contradictions," as she says in her interview. Her rollicking rides through guaracha, dembow, cumbia, techno and everything in between are powerful counters to anyone who believes the culture begins and ends with Shakira and Bad Bunny. And, as she'd like to remind everyone, "not every offbeat rhythm with Latin percussion is reggaeton." Skip through the 60-minute mix and you'll hear wildly different rhythms at every juncture. Surely, you might assume, at the expense of flow? And yet enjoyed (as intended) from start to finish, the tunes gel like milk and honey, each silky transition subtly phasing in fresh tones and percussive flourishes. It's fast, feverish and intensely riveting. Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1001

This week, following heady excursions through Lagos, Kampala, Detroit and Chicago, our focus shifts to Latin America—arguably the story in underground electronic music since the pandemic. After years of being all but overlooked internationally, the explosion of distinctive club sounds emerging from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and beyond has finally begun to get its due. Among the movement's great success stories are two artists who exemplify its refreshingly undogmatic energy: Verraco and Bitter Babe, and the former handles the A-side of RA.997. Is there a more compelling electronic artist around right now? Both in the studio and behind the decks, the Medellín-based DJ and producer currently sits in that coveted creative sweet spot, where every fresh musical morsel feels like a moment. To bask in any of his singular tracks on VOAM, Timedance and now XL Recordings, is to be bowled over by their rhythmic brilliance, madcap hooks and whirlpool basslines. ("Basic Maneuvers," anyone?) His mix is tough to pin down—a blend of dubby techno, tribal atmospheres, slanted bass and sharp edits. Or, as he puts it in the accompanying interview: “an intersection between dub-infused techno but with some flow, reduced atmospheric tribal, edgy bass cuts, mental emo-tek.” There's plenty of unreleased TraTraTrax material here, alongside tracks from artists like Virginia, A Made Up Sound and a euphoric flip of Ploy's “Ramos.” Slippery, emotional and surgically precise, it's Verraco doing what he does best.

In this episode, social media chef and queen of potatoes, Poppy O'Toole, explores the world of her favourite ingredient, the Potato. Last year, Poppy appeared on Mastermind, choosing the history of the potato as her specialist subject. Let's just say… it didn't quite go to plan. So now, she's joining the team at The Food Programme to fill in the gaps in her knowledge.Along the way, she meets historian Professor Rebecca Earle from the University of Warwick, who explains how potatoes travelled from the Andes to Europe. She visits Lima, a Peruvian restaurant in London, where she speaks with sous chef William Coz about how potatoes remain central to Peruvian cuisine. Dr Stef de Haan from the International Potato Center shares how Peru continues to cultivate thousands of potato varieties.In Suffolk, Poppy visits James Foskett's farm to discover how he grows both organic and conventional potatoes. And she speaks with Dr Jean Beagle Ristaino—known by some as “the Sherlock of Spuds”—about her work investigating the pathogen behind the Irish Potato Famine.The programme includes archive from Mastermind which is co-produced for BBC 2 by Hindsight and Hat Trick.Presented by Poppy O'Toole Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

In 2017 a strange discovery shocked the world when an alleged humanoid mummy was unearthed in a cave near Nazca, Peru. Possessing strange eye sockets, an elongated skull and three fingers, it quickly mesmerized hopeful believers. But was it actually real? As time passed interest in the controversial mummy faded. But then in 2024, Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast José Jaime Maussan, presented half a dozen more of these alleged “alien mummies” to Mexico's congress, and a firestorm of interest in the topic erupted again. In this episode I sit down with Will Brown - a former history teacher turned explorer, researcher, and now author of the book “Enigmatic North America: Legends, Oddities and Controversial history" to break down the truth regarding these entities. In this interview, Will shares about his expeditions to Peru to investigate these strange mummies where he attended the press conference, interviewed researchers and saw some of the mummies with his own eyes. Are these "alien mummies" elaborate hoaxes or real hybrid entities? Or, might they be something else altogether? Will breaks it all down.GET WILL'S BOOKJOIN ME ON A TOUR
Inedia is a disquieting and psychologically charged dramatic feature exploring a young woman's descent into a dangerous online fasting movement. Filmed on Salt Spring Island, Inedia tells the story of Cora (Amy Forsyth), a desperate young woman who signs up for an alternative lifestyle community to escape her mounting food allergies. At Sun Haven, they practice “breatharianism,” subsisting on light and air. The group's charismatic leader (Susanne Wuest) and peaceful vibes give Cora hope, but it's not long before she realizes there are tensions beneath the surface. At its core, Inedia is an eerie study of emotional and psychological disturbance and the way it manifests outwardly. Filmmaker Liz Cairns joins Sabrina in the YVR Screen Scene studio to discuss her journey with Inedia and her experience visiting a breatharian retreat in Peru.

This discussion covers the global impact of digital health technologies in making healthcare more sustainable and improving health outcomes. The conversation centers on a fundamental question: should we prioritize building better healthcare systems or cultivating healthier populations? Bogi Eliasen, a sought after keynote speaker and advisor for health leaders globally, stresses the urgency of early intervention, particularly in the context of chronic diseases, to ease the growing burden on healthcare systems. He advocates for a shift from reactive to preventative care, emphasizing the role of digital technologies in enabling this transition and improving outcomes at scale. Key barriers to progress include political and commercial inertia, short-term policy thinking, and the escalating costs of acute care. The interview draws on success stories, such as the Nordic Health 2030 Vision, which aims to redesign healthcare to be more preventative, personalized, and data-driven. Innovative applications of existing technologies in regions like Latin America and Africa are also highlighted, showcasing how local solutions can deliver significant improvements in access and care delivery. The conversation further explores the need to reimagine workforce structures in healthcare and underscores the importance of embedding dignity at every level of care. Looking ahead, the focus is on harnessing advanced technologies holistically and strengthening public-private partnerships to accelerate meaningful, equitable change in global health systems.

Rep. Robert Garcia was recently elected as the ranking member of the powerful House Oversight Committee by his fellow House Democrats. He won a top job that usually goes to a senior lawmaker who has spent many years (sometimes decades) in line, dutifully waiting for a turn. And his win might be a sign that the unofficial seniority system of congress is eroding under the weight of young Democrats itching for a bigger seat at the table. This is only his second term in Congress, but Rep. Garcia, who came to the U.S. from Peru as an undocumented immigrant when he was a child, has already shown that he's a skilled communicator who can find an audience online. He and Kara discuss the power of the Oversight Committee, the future of the Democratic Party, the strategy behind investigating Trump family scandals, the Big Beautiful Bill's impact on ICE, and more.

Father Robert Prevost, O.S.A., has long been recognized as a bridge builder—a pastor who listens deeply, builds consensus, and seeks unity without imposing authority. In the third and final episode of our first-ever “Inside the Vatican” Deep Dive series on Pope Leo XIV, we follow his extraordinary journey—from his early years as pastor and formator in northern Peru to the chair of St. Peter. Pope Leo's ministry in Peru was marked by his dedication to empowering lay leaders and nurturing vibrant communities amid challenging circumstances. After returning to the United States, he served briefly as provincial of the Augustinians in the Midwest before being elected prior general, leading the order worldwide from Rome for over a decade. During this time, his bridge-building leadership caught the attention of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who would later become Pope Francis. In 2014, Pope Francis appointed Prevost as bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, where he served for eight years. Before ultimately calling him back to Rome in 2023 to lead the Dicastery for Bishops, Francis made him a cardinal and then elevated him to cardinal-bishop—the highest rank in the College of Cardinals—paving the way for his election as Pope Leo XIV. Many pin their hopes on him to renew a polarized church. Studying Robert Francis Prevost—as a priest and canon lawyer, Augustinian prior general, bishop, cardinal, and Vatican prefect—reveals who he has become, what his priorities might be, and how he may choose to lead the Catholic Church's 1.4 billion faithful today. In this episode, you'll hear from: Arthur Purcaro, O.S.A. – Augustinian priest who worked with Pope Leo XIV in Peru and later served on his order's leadership council when Prevost was Prior General. Christopher White – Author of Pope Leo XIV: Inside the Conclave and the Dawn of a New Papacy (Loyola Press, 2025) and former Vatican correspondent for National Catholic Reporter. Emilce Cuda – Argentine theologian and Secretary of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Julia Oseka – Student at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia and one of the youngest voting members of the Synod on Synodality. Socorro Cassaro Novoa – Lay leader from Monserrate community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo XIV helped establish the parish and served as first administrator. Nila Ruiz Gonzales – Lay leader from Santa María community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo XIV directed the Augustinian formation house and served as pastor.

These mines are primarily located in western states, with Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Montana accounting for over 99% of domestic copper production. The tariff, announced to counter imports (primarily from Chile, Canada, and Peru, which supply over 90% of US refined copper imports), may incentivize domestic production but won't immediately resolve capacity issues. Posts on X suggest US producers might see fatter margins without significantly increasing output due to the time required to develop new mines (years) and smelting constraints. Current Production Capacity: In 2024, US copper mine production was approximately 1.17 million metric tons, a slight decline from previous years (1.3 million tons in 2022). Major producers like Freeport-McMoRan, Rio Tinto, and Grupo Mexico (Asarco) operate key mines such as Morenci (Arizona, 399,100 metric tons in 2023) and Kennecott (Utah, 169,300 metric tons in 2023). These mines are fully operational, but some face challenges like declining ore grades (averaging 0.4% copper compared to 0.6% in Chile) and labor shortages. : While the US has significant copper reserves (estimated at 48 trillion tons), production is limited by long permitting timelines (often decades), environmental regulations, and insufficient smelting/refining capacity. Only two primary smelters operate in the US (Rio Tinto's Kennecott and Freeport-McMoRan's Miami), and about 30% of mined copper is exported for processing due to this bottleneck.

Father Robert Prevost's early years in Peru shaped his ministry and vision for the church—but few know the brutal reality he encountered there in the 1980s and 1990s. In this second episode of our Inside the Vatican Deep Dive series on Pope Leo XIV, we follow the future pope to northern Peru. He first served in Chulucanas as a canon lawyer, helping establish the new diocese after its elevation from an apostolic prelature. Following a brief return to Rome to defend his doctoral thesis, he came back to Peru as a formator for diocesan and Augustinian seminarians and as a pastor in Trujillo. There, he and his fellow Augustinians ministered amid escalating violence and an approaching dictatorship—an experience that shaped the man who now leads the global Catholic Church. Peru in the late 1980s and early 90s was torn by conflict but also strangely alive with hope. The Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) and MRTA (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru), two violent rebel groups, terrorized communities while economic collapse paved the way for Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian rule. Amid it all, Father Prevost and the Augustinians in Northern Peru pioneered a new model of parish life. They opened a formation house for young men discerning religious life with the order and helped staff parishes, establishing new chapels and parish communities. They divided sprawling parishes into small zones led by lay teams responsible for prayer, outreach and community life. Two women who worked with him describe how this model empowered the local community. His ministry in Peru didn't just shape parish structures; it shaped him—teaching him to lead with humility, courage and deep concern for the marginalized. In this episode, you'll hear from: - John Lydon, O.S.A. – Augustinian priest and friend of Pope Leo, with whom he served in parish and formation ministry in Trujillo, Peru - Socorro Cassaro Novoa – Lay leader from the Monserrate community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo helped establish Nuestra Señora de Monserrate parish and served from 1992 to 1999 - Nila Ruiz Gonzales – Lay leader from the Santa María community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo XIV directed the Augustinian formation house and served as pastor in the 1980s and 90s And don't forget to come back for the final episode in this series.

Life is pretty wild over here at the Allwood house! Between kids getting married, going off to volunteer for three weeks in Peru, and juggling multiple businesses all during the heat of summer, there's never a dull moment. Today, Jason and I finally got the chance to sit down, catch our breath, and reflect on everything that's happening in this season of life. We talked about where we are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, and how each of us is navigating through these big transitions and exciting (yet sometimes overwhelming) moments. Our hope is that this episode gives you a real, honest glimpse into our lives. We also pray that it brings you a sense of comfort and encouragement, especially if you're walking through your own season of change or uncertainty.
