This week we have a Summertime Vibe, a bright nostalgic front-yard audio space.10 hours of summer sounds: sprinklers, birds, lawn mowing, some drift and sounds inspired by the heard but never seen ice cream truck. (Anyone have kids? My kids never hear "do the dishes," but they can geolocate an ice cream truck 3 neighborhoods away based on the jingle volume)._____Summertime! Throw on Dove Shack or a summertime mix by Jazzy Jeff and Mick Boogie (after listening to this week's ambience). Or everything at once with Peruvian takeout and a karate kick to that rotten bastard who cut you off in traffic. Huzzah! Summertime!I hope everyone has a safe and memorable season. Maybe let the outside world do what it does and embrace some selective apathy. Take some time for yourself and those who are important to you. One easy step: turn off cable and commercial news. Cable news is a for-profit industry staffed by people who fill on-air time with content intended to hold eyeballs hostage so they can expose viewers to commercials of erectile dysfunction pills. Pretty easy task—just stage an on-air Chuck E. Cheese fight. Cable news producers invite hacks and debate freaks willing to put their reputations on the line to mock victims of war or shout at each other. “Get your ******* hand out of my face!” is a much simpler way to stack the ENPS rundown of their show than gather or vet stories.Has anyone ever sidled up to you with erectile medications during a restaurant fight? Maybe they should? In the real world, shouting “Bro, eat my fist!” is going to grab a lot of eyeballs—you could then conceivably sell stuff. Give it a try: initiate a ridiculous argument over at the Skee-ball machine. Then switch to, “Everyone! All of you should buy my **** pills!” No one would be okay with that.Look, when you flip your TV to cable news channels, you are not witnessing anything. They are actively taking your eyes through cringe and anger before mushing your face into banking ads and mounds of fast-food meat. And you still won't know what is actually happening in the world.**** them, it's summertime.

In this episode, host Jack Eidt delves into the groundbreaking archaeological discoveries at the Huaca Montegrande site in the Peruvian Amazon with guest Karen Gordon, an associate at ASICAMPE, the nonprofit Association for Scientific Research of the Peruvian Amazon [https://abundantearthfoundation.org/ancientcacao/]. They explore the ancient Marañon culture, their sophisticated agroforestry practices, and the origins of cacao, the plant responsible for the world's chocolate. Traces of cacao have been found in 6,000-year-old ceremonial pottery vessels from what is now recognized as the oldest monumental temple site in Peru, predating the pyramids of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Tune in to learn how these findings are rewriting the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Nominated as one of the Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries in the World, Montegrande is currently unearthing the story of the ancient Amazonian Marañon Culture and their sophisticated agroforestry practices, social structure, and cosmovision – 3,000 years before the more well-studied Inca and Nazca cultures. These findings completely rewrite the history of organized human settlement and spirituality in the ancient Amazon. Groundbreaking evidence from Montegrande points to the Marañon Culture as being the earliest human stewards of cacao in the world, tending its domestication, cultivation, veneration and trade.

A back-deck-of-the-tambo interview with Jeffrey Niemeier and Zach Kaminski, recorded in the Peruvian rainforest in February 2026.

Living near more large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs may raise cancer risk, according to a study from Yale researchers. With thousands of cows, pigs, or chickens packed in small spaces, CAFOs produce a lot of waste that pollutes air and water, which may explain the cancer association, though the study does not prove causation.    Also, North Atlantic Right whales were once so thoroughly hunted they nearly went extinct. When hunting these mammals was outlawed, they slowly started to bounce back, but today Right whales are dealing with newer deadly threats, such as fishing gear entanglement and warming in the Gulf of Maine. So, it's a relief to advocates to have a successful calving season like this year with 23 new calves, the most since 2009.    And in accounts of scientific expeditions into the remotest parts of our world, indigenous people can often be depicted as mere backdrop—part of a quote “exotic” landscape, or at best, helpful sidekicks. But for Dr. Rosa Espinoza, a Peruvian chemical biologist and conservationist, the traditional knowledge and worldviews of indigenous people could be the key to unlocking some of nature's greatest mysteries, if scientists are willing to listen—and collaborate. Her 2025 book is called The Spirit of the Rainforest: How Indigenous Wisdom and Scientific Curiosity Reconnects Us to the Natural World.  --  Find photos, transcripts, links to more information about these stories, and much more at the Living on Earth website, loe dot org!

In this episode, Niall speaks with Boyd Varty, a wildlife tracker, storyteller, and author of the bestselling books “Cathedral of the Wild”, and “The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life”. Boyd grew up at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, where he learned the ancient art of tracking from master Shangaan trackers. In this conversation, they explore: — How a near-death experience at eighteen revealed a state of consciousness beyond fear — Why tracking animals can teach us how to track our own lives and find what we're truly looking for — The link between disconnection from nature and the search for meaning — Why transformation begins with saying, “I don't know, but I want to” — How to follow a sense of aliveness in the body as a guide for decisions And more. You can learn more about Boyd's work, retreats, and books at https://boydvarty.com/ and boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass. --- The wildlife and literacy activist Boyd Varty, author of the memoir Cathedral of the Wild, had an unconventional upbringing. Born to a family of conservationists, Boyd grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in the South African wilderness, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 90 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty's father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn't just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he came to the reserve to recover. Since childhood, Boyd shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes, and elephants and has spent his life in apprenticeship to the wisdom of nature. Boyd survived a harrowing black mamba encounter, a debilitating bout with malaria, even a vicious crocodile attack, but his biggest challenge was a personal crisis of purpose. As a university student, he studied psychology and ecology, supplementing his education by learning martial arts in Thailand, hiking through the jungles of the Amazon, and apprenticing to a renowned tracker from the Shangaan tribe deepening his intimate knowledge of the natural world. Boyd grew up speaking the local language and learning the true meaning of coexistence between people and with nature. Boyd continues to, like a tracker, follow unconventional pathways. He has worked intensively over the past 7 years in ceremonial spaces as an apprentice to a Peruvian shaman while generating his own system of coaching called “track your life” with draws lessons from the ancient art form of tracking to help people find more meaning, purpose and motivation. At the core of his work is the impulse of life towards healing, wholeness and wildness. He works in both the USA and South Africa to connect people to nature and to their own true inner nature. Boyd Varty is a major voice of the new consciousness. He engages audiences across the world on the subject of forging connections in ourselves, in our communities and with the earth. He speaks to those who long for a way of interaction both simpler and more profound than the way most of us live in the world today. Boyd has a psychology degree from the University of South Africa. He is a certified Master Life Coach, the author of two books and a TED speaker. Boyd has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. Having taught his philosophy of “Tracking your Life” to companies and individuals all over the world he has been featured in the New York Times and NBC. --- Interview Links: — Boyd's website: http://boydvarty.com — Track Your Life Masterclass: https://boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass

For years, Colin Post lived and blogged from Peru and Colombia through his legendary (and politically incorrect) site Expat Chronicles. In this second appearance on the show, we go deep on Peruvian history — from the Inca Empire and Spanish conquest, through independence, the rise of modern Lima, class divides between coast/highlands/mestizos, political instability, and why Peru feels the way it does today.Colin brings his no-BS perspective after over a decade on the ground: the cultural undercurrents, the recurring patterns of collapse and resilience, and what outsiders get wrong about the country. If you're moving to, traveling in, or just fascinated by Peru, this is essential listening. Follow Colin: Blog: https://expat-chronicles.com/X: @ExpatChron or @ColinPost

On April 12, Peruvians took to the polls to vote in the first round of elections that would decide the country's next president. Some hoped the elections would help usher in an end to the country's long running political crisis where no president has served out a full term since 2016. However, delays and complications in counting the votes, and fraud allegations leveled by some candidates turned the April election into its own miniature crisis. In this episode, Henry Ziemer sits down with Mitra Taj, a freelance reporter based in Lima to unpack the results of the first round of voting. Together they explore the key figures and power brokers heading into the runoff, as well as how the two candidates, Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez, will likely approach key issues of economic development, security policy, and relations with Congress. They also explore the significance of the elections for ongoing U.S.-China competition in South America.

Titiminas Silver (TSXV: TITI) is advancing the past-producing Madre Sierra Silver mine in central Peru, with a 15,500-metre underground drilling program across three targets — Madre Sierra, Madre Sierra Norte, and the Titiminas CRD. CEO Luis Goyzueta told Mining Stock Daily that drilling starts in June. Goyzueta outlined the company's clear roadmap to a maiden mineral resource estimate by mid-2027 and a final investment decision by year-end, while also highlighting the potential of a historically significant high-grade molybdenum asset and the company's broader ambitions to grow into a multi-asset Peruvian silver producer through strategic M&A.

Coppernico Metals CEO Ivan Bebek provides an update on the Sombrero Project in Peru, focusing on the Tipicancha target, where trenching/channel samples returned 22 meters of 0.6% copper and recent test pits suggest the mineralized footprint extends kilometers south within a large hydrothermal system. Ivan says Sombrero now has 7 drill-ready targets and a minimum 65-hole program over 18 months, with drilling to begin at Fierrazo, then Tipicancha, and later Nioc, while awaiting a major drill permit that could allow a couple hundred holes. He discusses strong interest for a strategic financing, macro tailwinds from a tight copper market and disruptions like Grasberg, ongoing community programs, and limited impact expected from Peruvian elections, concluding with standard mining-risk disclaimers. 00:00 Intro 00:19 Sombrero Project Update 01:07 Tipicancha Target Breakthrough 03:35 Drill Plan Seven Targets 04:34 Copper Macro Tailwinds 06:10 Permits and Timeline 06:36 Marketing and Share Price 09:17 Financing Strategy 11:32 Peru Politics and Community 14:22 Upcoming Catalysts Recap Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF; FSE: 9I3 Press release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/coppernico-advances-multi-kilometre-tipicancha-copper-gold-target-ahead-of-initial-drilling/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Coppernico Metals pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Is it anthropology or a high-stakes hoax?In this episode of the Varn Vlog, we dive deep into the enigmatic life of Carlos Castaneda with author and visual artist Ru Marshall. Marshall's expansive new biography, American Trickster (OR Books), unearths the startling reality behind the man who convinced the world he was apprenticed to a Yaqui sorcerer named Don Juan.We explore how Castaneda transitioned from a UCLA PhD candidate to a global counterculture icon, selling tens of millions of books while living a life of elaborate reinvention—including claiming to be Brazilian despite being Peruvian. Marshall details the darker side of Castaneda's "Nagual" legacy: his transformation into a cult leader, his manipulation of academic elites like Harold Garfinkel, and the tragic disappearances of the women in his inner circle following his death.In this episode, we discuss:The Academic Scam: How Castaneda used "ethnomethodology" to seduce brilliant sociologists and anthropologists at UCLA.The Arana Family Secret: The "Mark of the Arana" and the dark Peruvian history Castaneda spent his life running from.Tensegrity and Cultism: The transition from bestselling author to a high-control leader who promised his followers they would never die.The Death Valley Mystery: The discovery of Nuri Alexander's remains and the final "flight into infinity" that turned fatal for his followers.Ru Marshall is an acclaimed writer and visual artist whose work explores the intersections of faith, identity, and cultural mythology. Their debut novel, Separate Reality, was a Lambda Literary Award finalist for Debut Fiction. Marshall's insightful non-fiction and essays have been featured in prominent outlets including Salon, n+1, Evergreen Review, and Kenyon Review. Their most recent work, American Trickster: A Biography of Carlos Castaneda, is the culmination of nearly two decades of research into one of the 20th century's most complex and controversial literary figures.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

rodeaban el sitio, creando un paisaje casi mágico bajo la lluvia persistente.En: The green, majestic mountains surrounded the site, creating an almost magical landscape under the persistent rain.Es:

frágiles hallazgos.En: When at the end of the second day, the sky broke into an unexpected storm, the team struggled to protect the fragile findings.Es: El deseo de Nayeli de recuperar todo lo posible

Ralph welcomes back Adolph Reed, Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College to discuss the latest Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. Then, Ralph and our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, talk about what ordinary citizens can do to pressure their reps to impeach Donald Trump.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives, No Politics but Class Politics (co-authored with Walter Benn Michaels), and Black Studies, Cultural Politics, and the Evasion of Inequality: The Farce this Time (co-authored with Kenneth W. Warren).I think the issues are a lot more complex than they seem to be or than seems to be the way that they are represented in the debate [over the Voting Rights Act]…To cut straight to the political case, I think there's a distinction between the Act's guarantee that black citizens and others (where pertinent) who live in areas where there's been a history of suppression of the right to vote have the support of the federal government to make certain that Black voters have the ability to vote for and to elect candidates of their choosing. Which is not the same thing as a right of Black individuals to be elected to office. And I think that's one of the confusions that characterizes, frankly, both sides of the debate at this point. And I think that's definitely something that needs to be clarified.Adolph ReedSome of my friends and I have been talking about this, and have been bouncing this idea back and forth since, frankly, even before the court handed down the [Louisiana v Callais] decision. In thinking about developments in black politics across the board, the idea that all that Black voters are supposed to get out of politics is the representation of people who look like them and share in the same racial identification has also fueled backward turns. Like how all of a sudden the biggest issue in Black American politics supposedly had become the racial wealth gap, which boils down to a complaint that rich Black people aren't as rich as rich white people are. So, yeah, shaking up or reshuffling the deck for how we might begin to try to determine the stakes of Black Americans' engagement in national politics is something that needs to happen. No matter what brings it about.Adolph ReedBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.My website is www.lawofficesofbrucefein.com and my email address is Bruce@feinpoints.com. And I'll respond and give you guidance as to how you can help be part of this effort to impeach and remove by far the most dangerous President in the history of the United States. And he's most dangerous to the world as well.Bruce FeinNews 5/8/26* Our top story this week comes to us from the Bulwark, which reports that dissatisfaction with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is reaching a fever pitch. Martin has faced criticism over the course of his tenure for reneging on his promise to release an autopsy on the 2024 presidential campaign and for his decidedly lackluster fundraising efforts. The DNC has reportedly “spent more money than it has raised” and “has more debt than cash on hand,” while the Republican National Committee enjoys a “roughly seven-to-one money advantage.” According to this report, high-level DNC members are now privately discussing ousting Martin, only tabling these discussions “after members failed to identify an alternative candidate willing to step into the role.” Martin's failures have even led Democrats to openly wonder “whether the 178-year-old committee should even exist anymore.” Martin was elected DNC Chair last year, beating out Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, who helped rebuild the party and raise tremendous amounts of money in that critical swing state.* Speaking of money in politics, this week POLITICO released a damning report on End Citizens United, the good-government focused 501(c)(4) that has in past years been a “fundraising behemoth” but has now faded nearly into complete irrelevancy. The issues highlighted in this piece will be familiar to many who have worked in this world. Despite raising $14.8 million, the group's PAC arm is burning through the money more quickly than it can raise it, having just $324,000 on hand at the end of March. What are they spending the money on? According to POLITICO, about $650,000 has gone to candidates and party groups and about the same amount has been bundled. Meanwhile, payments to fundraising firms have eaten up an astonishing $5.3 million. This is just another case of Democratic Party aligned consulting firms run amok and growing fat off of small dollar donations.* Another disappointing story comes to us from the Teamsters. According to Bloomberg, the union has forfeited a hard-won union foothold – the first ever unionized Chipotle – following three years of battling the company and failing to secure a contract. A Teamsters local president said in an email to the National Labor Relations Board that the union “officially withdraws and disclaims interest” at the Lansing, Michigan location. Legally speaking, this means the company will no longer be “required to recognize or negotiate with the union.” The employees of this location voted to unionize in 2022 by a margin of 11-to-3. Chipotle corporate has been decried for seeking to bust this union, with Biden NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo accusing them of employing illegal anti-union tactics like “withholding raises from the store's staff and telling workers that the union was keeping their pay frozen…[and punishing] a pro-union employee to discourage activism.” However, it was the Teamsters themselves who ultimately gave up, paving the way for the demise of the workers' heroic stand against corporate power. As the saying goes, with friends like these.* In more positive political news, during the Washington DC mayoral debate last week, the Washington Post reports democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Janeese Lewis George seemed to endorse the idea of opening municipal grocery stores in DC food deserts, including the impoverished and majority Black Wards 7 and 8. Asked about this topic, Councilmember Lewis George committed to bringing at least one more grocery store to Ward 7 and at least two more to Ward 8, noting that she would seek to shore up investor confidence with public dollars. If private options do not materialize however, she vowed that “we will work towards” a publicly-owned store. Municipally-owned grocery stores were a much publicized part of the Zohran Mamdani campaign platform and, if Lewis George is elected, his success or failure in carrying out that pledge is sure to impact her decision making on this issue.* Meanwhile, in media news, the New York Times reports Lupa Systems – the private holding company representing the interests of James Murdoch, son of conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch – is “in talks to acquire major parts of Vox Media.” Vox, founded in the 2010s by journalists Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Melissa Bell, now owns major media properties including New York magazine, the Verge, Eater and a podcast network featuring Kara Swisher and others. Murdoch, through Lupa, owns a “majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, the parent company of the Tribeca Film Festival.” Additionally, the Times notes that Quadrivium, the foundation founded by Mr. Murdoch and his wife, Kathryn, has financial interests in “The 19th, a nonprofit newsroom focused on gender and politics, and The Bulwark, a so-called ‘Never Trump' digital media company.” James Murdoch, along with his sister Elisabeth, are seen as far more liberal than the Murdoch patriarch and his other son, Lachlan, who together successfully ousted the other family members from control of the family trust in a recent legal battle.* Turning to international news, yet another deadlocked presidential election in Peru is looming. A new Ipsos poll, taken near the end of April, shows an exact 50-50 split between the two candidates in the runoff: the left-wing member of Congress Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori. This election was always going to be close – Peruvian politics have been deadlocked for years, resulting in ultra-narrow presidential victories frequently followed by impeachments. Fujimori has been a runoff candidate in every presidential election going back to 2011, losing each by extremely narrow margins. Most recently, she lost to Pedro Castillo by a margin of 50.13% to 49.87% in 2021. Castillo however was thwarted by, and ultimately ousted by, the Congress. The runoff will be held on June 7th.* In India, the Left suffered catastrophic defeats in this week's state elections, Al Jazeera reports. The state of Kerala – “the first in the world to have a democratically elected communist government” and “the last state in India where communists were in power” – will now be led by the United Democratic Front, a coalition headed by the Congress party, which won over 100 out of 140 seats. The Left bloc will likely capture around 35 seats. Beyond Kerala however, the Left has seen setbacks throughout the country, with no state now being ruled by the Left for the first time since 1977 and the national parliamentary Left bloc declining from 62 in the 2004 election to just eight seats today. Different factors are cited for the general decline of the Left in India, including an inability to adapt Marxist analysis to non class-related issues in the country, such as caste and gender, as well as the decline of industrial trade unions and a general trend towards Right-wing Hindu nationalism. Hopefully, the Left will take this electoral rout as an opportunity to rebuild itself into a viable force for 21st century Indian politics.* Turning to East Asia, the Financial Times reports North Korea has subtly revised its constitution to drop references to reunification of the two Koreas. Specifically, the new text reads “the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea includes the territory bordering the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation to the north and the Republic of Korea to the south, and the territorial sea and airspace established on it”. In acknowledging the existence of the Republic of Korea, more commonly known as South Korea, experts see a move away from the long-held North Korean contention that the peninsula is a single country illegally partitioned. The revision was “disclosed by an academic at a press conference hosted by the South Korean Ministry of Unification on Wednesday.” Though this article notes that “North Korea has not made any comment on the revised constitution and the source of the text revealed by the unification ministry was not disclosed,” it highlights that Kim Jong-un has increasingly moved in this direction in recent years, renaming Tongil (“reunification”) metro station in Pyongyang and dismantling an Arch of Reunification monument.* Our last two stories have to do with the People's Republic of China. First, Reuters reports China's Commerce Ministry has issued an injunction to “block U.S. ​sanctions imposed on five Chinese refiners accused ‌of buying Iranian oil.” Hengli Petrochemical, one of the five small “teapot” refineries primarily located in China's Shandong province, was slapped with sanctions last month, when the Trump administration accused the company of purchasing billions ​of dollars in Iranian oil. The other four have been sanctioned since last year. However, the Ministry now argues that the sanctions violate “international law and ‌the ⁠basic norms of international relations,” and with the injunction in place, “the United States cannot recognize, ​implement, or comply ​with the ⁠sanctions imposed on the aforementioned five Chinese companies.” This is perhaps the most significant challenge to the American-led international sanctions regime in decades and whatever reaction issues from the U.S. will surely inform other states on just how far they can go in flouting such sanctions.* Finally, in a stunning legal decision, Fortune reports Chinese courts have ruled that “companies cannot terminate employees just to replace them with artificial intelligence systems.” The case in question hinged on whether a tech firm in eastern China had acted illegally when firing one of its workers, a “quality assurance professional…identified only as Zhou” after he “refused to take a demotion” and a 40% pay cut, when his job was automated by AI. The court found that the termination did not meet established standards, such as business downsizing or operational difficulties, and the court separately stated that “Companies cannot unilaterally lay off employees or cut salaries due to technological progress.” This stunning legal victory for workers in the face of challenges by technology is bittersweet – heartening in that it's happening at all, yet at the same time depressing because it is almost impossible to imagine an equivalent worker protection regime being implemented in the United States.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this episode of the Mystic Dog Mama podcast, I'm joined by Shamanic Dog Trainer, Tamryn Fudge, for a deeply expansive conversation exploring what becomes possible when we move beyond behavior modification, and begin relating to dogs through connection, cooperation, nervous system awareness, and deeper listening.Together, we explore the space where science and soul meet in our relationships with dogs. From modern dog culture and the limitations of compliance-based approaches, to intuition, regulation, energetic awareness, and ancient wisdom traditions - this conversation invites us to reconsider not only how we work with dogs… but how we live alongside them.Tamryn shares how her path evolved from veterinary medicine into dog training, animal communication, and then into a more relational and shamanic approach. She shares what she has learned through her work with dogs, humans, and Peruvian shamanic lineage teachings. We discuss the difference between compliance and cooperation, what dogs may be communicating beneath behavior, and how our own nervous systems, emotional patterns, and presence shape the relationship far more than many of us realize.We also dive into the realities of living with challenging dogs - reactivity, fear, sensitivity, overwhelm - and the profound ways these experiences can become portals into our own healing, self-awareness, and transformation.This episode is not about abandoning science or practical support. It's about widening the lens and asking deeper questions. It's about remembering that dogs are not simply beings to manage, but conscious participants in relationship.Inside this conversation, we explore:What “shamanic dog training” actually meansThe difference between compliance, cooperation, and connectionWhy behavior is often communication, not simply something to stop or fixHow dogs respond to our nervous systems, emotional states, and presenceWhat modern humans may be missing in our relationships with dogsHow challenging dogs can become catalysts for growth and healingTamryn's experience studying within a Peruvian shamanic lineageWhat ancient wisdom traditions can teach us about relationship, healing, and interconnectionHow to begin listening to your dog differently in everyday lifeWhy deep connection with dogs begins within ourselvesWhether you're navigating challenges with your dog, longing for a deeper relationship, or simply curious about what dogs might be helping us remember in this moment in time, this conversation offers a grounded yet expansive perspective on living in partnership with our dogs.Connect with Tamryn:https://tamrynfudge.caConnect with me:Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

Interview with Luis Goyzueta, Chairman & CEO of Titiminas SilverRecording date: 1st May 2026Titiminas Silver is advancing the restart of the Madre Sierra mine in central Peru, positioning itself as a fast-moving entrant focused on reviving a past-producing, high-grade polymetallic asset rather than pursuing traditional exploration. The project hosts a 1.2 million ton historical resource grading 4–5 ounces per ton silver, alongside copper, gold, zinc, and lead, for roughly 20 million ounces of silver equivalent. With only three of six identified veins historically developed across a small area of a 2.2-kilometer strike, the company sees substantial upside for resource expansion.A key advantage lies in the project's strong infrastructure and permitting position. Madre Sierra is located near a regional airport, paved highway, and power access, while holding an existing 350-ton-per-day mining permit and a community agreement secured through 2032. These factors significantly reduce development risk and enable an accelerated timeline. The company plans to begin drilling shortly, targeting a maiden resource estimate within a year and a final investment decision by late 2027, potentially based on a preliminary economic assessment.Initial production is expected at 350 tons per day, yielding დაახლოებით 1.2 million ounces of silver annually, with capital costs estimated at $35–45 million. A second phase could expand throughput to 800–1,200 tons per day, increasing output to as much as 3.5 million ounces per year. The polymetallic nature of the deposit provides diversified revenue streams, enhancing project resilience.Led by CEO Luis Goyzueta, who brings decades of Peruvian mining and private equity experience, Titiminas is also pursuing a broader growth strategy. Leveraging proprietary relationships, the company aims to acquire similar high-grade assets in central Peru, targeting long-term production of 10 million ounces of silver annually. Additional upside comes from a high-grade molybdenum discovery on its northern property, which may offer future strategic value.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

They also touch on the role of AI in the music industry, why live music might be the last thing technology can truly replace, and the beauty of just saying yes to gigs and seeing where they take you. Don't lose faith.

When Michael Robinson Chávez first traveled to Peru with a camera in hand, he couldn't have known it would mark the beginning of a lifelong relationship with photography—and with the country that would become central to his understanding of himself. A native Californian and the son of a Peruvian mother, Chávez has spent decades building a distinguished career as a visual journalist, photographing stories across the globe with a rare combination of rigor, empathy, and clarity. Whether covering war, political upheaval, environmental crisis, or everyday life, his photographs are rooted in a deep respect for the people in front of his lens and a commitment to revealing the emotional truth within complex stories. That same depth of feeling runs through Mestizo, his long-term project on Peru and the subject of our conversation this week. Made over decades, the work is both a portrait of a country shaped by layers of history, culture, and contradiction, and a personal reckoning with heritage, belonging, and identity. These photographs do more than document place—they reflect an ongoing search for connection, a way of understanding how the mixed inheritance of Peru has also shaped the way Chávez sees the world and himself. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive, deeply personal yet resonant far beyond the boundaries of autobiography. Mestizo will be released as a monograph in early 2026 by Eyeshot.

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of The Healing Version, Deborah sits down with Cristiano Colla—a former personal trainer turned spiritual storyteller—to explore the journey from chasing perfection to embracing authenticity. Cristiano shares how his life shifted after a transformative experience in the Peruvian jungle, where he worked with ayahuasca to confront childhood trauma, emotional wounds, and limiting beliefs. Key Takeways: Perfection is an illusion—true growth comes from embracing imperfection Childhood wounds (like abandonment) often shape adult relationships Shadow work is about self-awareness, not self-judgment Triggers are mirrors—they reveal what needs healing within Overthinking can block your purpose—learning to trust your body and intuition is key Healing is your responsibility, even if the pain wasn't your fault

This episode examines the aftermath of Peru's first-round presidential election held on April 12, 2025, recorded just five days later with results still not fully finalized. Host Adam Isacson speaks with Cynthia McClintock, a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University who has studied Peruvian politics for over four decades. The conversation describes an extraordinarily fragmented and polarized electoral landscape. With 35 candidates on the ballot, the leading vote-getter—Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori—led the count with only about 17 percent of the vote. The race for second place remained too close to call between Roberto Sánchez, a leftist candidate running under the mantle of impeached former president Pedro Castillo, and Rafael López Aliaga, a right-wing populist who served as mayor of Lima. The runoff, between candidates who will combine for less than 30 percent of the first-round vote, is scheduled for June 7th. McClintock traces Peru's current political dysfunction to the period following the 2016 election, during which Fujimori's party discovered the power of congressional impeachment. Peru has cycled through nine presidents in ten years, and McClintock argues that a corrupt governing coalition has consolidated power, particularly since Castillo's impeachment in December 2022. The discussion highlights the deep geographic and cultural divisions in Peruvian society. The gap between Lima and "las provincias"—Indigenous-majority rural and mountainous regions—manifests starkly in voting patterns. This division traces back centuries and reflects ongoing perceptions of discrimination and exclusion, even as economic indicators have improved. Organized crime and security are voters' primary concerns. While Peru's homicide rate remains low by regional standards, it has more than doubled since 2021-2022. Extortion has become particularly urgent. Yet paradoxically, Peru's economy continues to grow, buoyed by high commodity prices for copper and gold, though much mining activity is illegal and environmentally devastating. McClintock expresses concern about the future of accountability and democratic institutions. The newly reconstituted Senate grants Fujimori's party approximately one-third of seats, with significant power over appointments. On U.S.-Peru relations, she notes the current government has stayed under Washington's radar and is proceeding with a $3.5 billion F-16 purchase, though the Chinese-built Chancay port remains a potential point of tension. The episode concludes with McClintock explaining how the chaotic 35-candidate field happened by design: Fujimori's party had previously canceled a primary voting provision that would have winnowed the field, calculating that extreme fragmentation would allow them to win with a small plurality. Despite the grim political outlook, McClintock emphasizes the resilience of Peru and its people. Download this podcast episode's .mp3 file here.

Sarah got an invite to attend the Enhanced Games (the competitive sports where anything goes in terms of performance enhancement). We find out how a crime was recently solved thanks to the nerdy expertise of a botanist. We hear why the Boston and Southern accents might become obsolete, and we're pretty sad about it. We lament the shallow nature of some online culture, and basically we want to bring back Peruvian bowler hats.00:00 - Reflecting on Our 1000th Episode Party & Interstellar01:59 - How the Linda/Louise Prank Taught Me About Love05:39 - Heartfelt Fan Gifts and Sarah's Lost Phone Adventure10:47 - Scientists Finally Map the Clitoris, 30 Years After Penis17:38 - Sarah Gets an Invitation to the Enhanced Games in Vegas23:27 - Why We Rebrand Simple Pleasures Like Forest Bathing27:38 - The Key to Restorative Sleep: Vivid, Immersive Dreams35:33 - How a Botanist Used Moss to Solve a Criminal Case39:30 - The Disappearing Boston Accent and a Matthew McConaughey Encounter 50:01 - Lamenting Homogenized Culture and Peruvian Bowler Hats54:08 - Can Robot Restaurants Replicate the 'Breath of the Wok'?58:23 - Supporting the Show and Leaving a Five-Star ReviewBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYHead to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

Ralph welcomes journalist and author Megan Greenwell to discuss her book "Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream." Then, Ralph speaks to James Zogby (co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute) about the recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon.Megan Greenwell is a journalist who has written or edited for publications including the New York Times, the Washington Post, New York Magazine, WIRED, and ESPN. She is also the deputy director of the Princeton Summer Journalism Program, a workshop and college-access initiative for students from low-income backgrounds. She is the author of Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream.The real trick with private equity (and this was the thing that made me want to write a book on it) is that when they take out those billions of dollars worth of loans (if you're buying a bigger company), the private equity firm is not responsible for paying those loans back. Only the portfolio company in whose name the private equity firm has taken the money out is on the hook for that money. And so what you end up with is this split in incentive where what's good for the private equity firm is not necessarily what's good for its own portfolio company.Megan Greenwell[Congress hasn't repealed the carried interest loophole] because Congress is in the pocket of the private equity industry. 88% of members of the House and Senate take donations from private equity. Interestingly, Donald Trump has called twice for the carried interest loophole to be closed. And still, even he, as much of a stranglehold as he has on the Republican Party, he can't build support for it among Republicans. Because they're all taking private equity money, as are the vast majority of the Democrats. So this is not a partisan issue.Megan GreenwellOne of the reasons I was really interested to write this book as a series of narrative profiles of people trying to do something about [private equity] is: none of them are trying to do something about it through the federal government. And I think when we talk about “Only the federal government can save us,” we really risk turning people away from trying to do anything. And I think we've seen on the private equity issue there has been some really interesting movement on the state level in several places—real reforms that are much easier to accomplish on the state level than on the federal level.Megan GreenwellJames Zogby is co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, and he is featured frequently on national and international media as an expert on Middle East affairs. Since 1992, he has written a weekly column— “Washington Watch” —that is published in 12 countries. He is the author of several books, including Looking at Iran: The Rise and Fall of Iran in Arab Public Opinion, The Tumultuous Decade: Arab, Turkish, and Iranian Public Opinion - 2010-2019, Arab Voices: What They Are Saying to Us, and Why it Matters, and Palestinians: The Invisible Victims.Not only are thousands being killed [in Lebanon], but there's a process underway of demolishing villages, obviously expelling lots of people, creating internal refugees and sectarian tension as a result of it. And clearly (as Israel has stated, and I think we have to believe them), that they actually want to annex the territory up to the Litani River and maybe even further. They call it a buffer zone, but we've heard that buffer zone stuff before. It's merely a way of taking new land and providing opportunities for settlements.James ZogbyAs we saw ourselves in Vietnam, as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel is now getting PTSD reports that are deeply disturbing to them. They're getting suicides. They're getting an exhausted military. They're not exhausted with the weapons that they're losing (because they're losing a lot and they're using a lot), they're getting emotionally and physically exhausted. Look, when the soldiers do what they've been doing—which is basically inhuman behavior, I mean, it's disgraceful behavior—it begins to eat away at the soul. You get these suicides. You get these emotional collapses. And what gets me upset is that—72,000 Palestinians dead, a few Israeli soldiers having PTSD and trauma and committing suicide becomes a news story? My feeling has to be with the Lebanese and Palestinians.James ZogbyWhen I hear on the DNC from other members who say to me, “When you talk about Israeli genocide, that's anti-Semitic, it makes me uncomfortable,” I said, “You know what makes me uncomfortable? That genocide is actually taking place. And it makes me equally uncomfortable that you won't admit it or even want us to talk about it.”James ZogbyNews 4/17/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani is delivering on yet another campaign promise thought impossible by mainstream pundits and beltway insiders: the creation of municipal grocery stores. Capping off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Mamdani delivered remarks in front of La Marqueta in East Harlem, the site of one of the original city-run grocery stores created under Fiorello LaGuardia. Mamdani laid out how the stores will operate, noting that while “A private operator will run the store,” they will “answer to the standards the city will set…[including] requirements that at our stores bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation. And workers will be treated with dignity.” Mamdani plans to have the first of these stores open in 2027 and stores in all five boroughs open by the end of his term in 2029. This from NBC4 New York.* Meanwhile, in New York's 10th congressional district, former NYC Comptroller and Mamdani ally Brad Lander is aligning himself with AOC and calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel. In a meeting with a group of local journalists, Lander said “We need to follow the Leahy Law and condition all of our foreign policy aid on human rights and international law compliance…At the moment, Israel is very far from complying with human rights and international law. So I would not vote for any more aid,” adding that he “hopes” Israel will “[get] there.” The Forward notes that this is an evolution from the position he took during his mayoral candidacy last year. At that time Lander opposed sending offensive weapons to Israel, but believed that the US should keep funding Israel's Iron Dome, per the New York Post. Through a representative, Lander's opponent in this race, incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, told the Forward he “will always support defensive systems,” like Iron Dome.* The liberal Zionist organization J Street is also shifting its position. The Middle East Eye reports the group is calling for an end to “direct” US military support to Israel, according to a new policy paper. To be clear however, while this does mark a shift from J Street's previous position that the U.S. should provide defensive weapons systems – like resupply for Iron Dome, at no cost to Israelis – J Street now argues that Israel should simply purchase these weapons instead. In short, J Street is arguing that Israel is rich enough to provide for its own defense and that the American financial subsidies are “unnecessary and politically counterproductive, creating avoidable tensions in US domestic politics and in the bilateral relationship.” This is in line with statements by Netanyahu himself, who has made it clear that Israel wants to reduce its reliance on U.S. military aid “all the way down to zero.”* In other news, Reuters reports Apple is closing several of its brick-and-mortar stores, including the first ever unionized Apple store. Over 100 workers at the store, located in Towson Town Center mall in Maryland, voted to join the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) in 2022; Reuters notes that “a similar union drive in Atlanta [around that same time] was withdrawn, ‌with ⁠Apple workers alleging intimidation.”At the other stores being shuttered, employees were offered the option to continue their jobs at other nearby Apple stores. At the Towson store however, Apple is claiming that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation. The union says this is “false” and is reportedly exploring all legal options. IAM also expressed “serious concerns that ​this closure is a cynical attempt to ​bust ⁠the union.”* Elsewhere in Maryland, the state legislature has passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. This bill, which Gov. Wes Moore has vowed to sign into law, is designed to prohibit surveillance pricing, the practice of retailers charging different shoppers different prices for the same item at the same time based on information the store knows about them as an individual. While crucial and innovative legislation, Consumer Reports – which “engaged on the bill…throughout the legislative process,” argues that it has been watered down to the point of inadequacy via lobbying by the Maryland Retail Alliance. Some of the added exceptions include failing to establish any baseline or standard price – given that “with no set standard price, everything can be marketed as a discount” — and exempting any pricing associated with loyalty or membership programs or subscriptions. The bill also does not contain strong enforcement provisions, such as a private right of action. So, while this bill is a start – and you have to start somewhere – we echo Consumer Reports' urging that “other state legislatures considering personalized pricing legislation to build in stronger consumer protections and avoid loopholes that weakened this bill.”* In more consumer news, the scourge of sports betting continues to metastasize. A new report from Siena Research Institute has produced staggering findings: “27% of Americans and [52%] of men ages 18-49…[say] they have an active account with an online sportsbook such as DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, or BetMGM.” And, while most respondents maintain that they bet because it is “exciting” and “fun”, “31% of bettors report having had someone express concern about their usage of online sportsbooks, [42%] of bettors...say they have felt that they bet more than they should…Fifteen percent of bettors…say they have called a problem gambling Helpline or sought other help with problem gambling, and 22% of respondents overall say they know someone that has or has had a problem with online sports betting.” Taken together, this represents a deeply troubling gambling wave cresting in this country. And, while legislators are beginning to take notice, the sports betting interests are beginning to fight back, with Bloomberg reporting that these companies – FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics Sportsbook – are beginning to dump money by the truckload into new Super PACs. Just this year, they have contributed $41 million to Win for America, according to new FEC filings, and show no sign of stopping there.* In our final domestic story, this week saw the implosion of leading California gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Eric Swalwell. Swalwell ultimately opted to resign his seat in Congress after it became clear that the Democratic and Republican House leadership was mulling a deal to expel him and flagrantly corrupt Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick along with two scandal-ridden GOP Reps., Tony Gonzales and Cory Mills. The fact that Swalwell's resignation was paired with that of Gonzales lends credence to the idea that some deal was worked out behind closed doors. Yet, deal or no, this leaves Cherfilus-McCormick and Mills in their seats despite general acknowledgment that they should be expelled, per the Hill. This constitutes congressional horsetrading at its most base.* Turning to international news, this week Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has for months governed the country with a plurality in the House of Commons, has successfully secured a majority for his ruling Liberal Party. This majority was secured via three byelection victories, but more significantly, by five recent “floor crossings” – elected MPs switching parties to join the Liberals. Having secured a majority, Carney is now confident in his ability to stave off a no-confidence vote and will likely remain in power at least until the 2029 general election. Unfortunately, the New Democratic Party (NDP) saw improvement in their share of the vote in only one “riding” despite their new leadership. This just proves the party has a long, difficult climb back to relevance in Canadian politics. This from the CBC.* Looking Southward, this week, Peru held the first round of their presidential election. The top two vote getters will advance to a runoff, but who those candidates would be remained unclear for an agonizingly protracted period of time. Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the former Japanese-Peruvian dictator and a perennial far-right candidate herself, came in first with 17% of the vote. And at first, it seemed like the second slot would be taken by ultraconservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga. However, following days of vote counting, Aliaga moved down to third place, with the second place finisher proving to be Roberto Sanchez, a figure of the Peruvian Left and ally of ousted former President Pedro Castillo. Sanchez however is also allegedly allied with the Andean supremacist movement led by Antauro Humala in Peru. The Peruvian political system has been rocked by instability, churning through “eight presidents in the past 10 years, including four who were impeached,” per France 24. Castillo, the last democratically elected president, was sentenced to over 11 years in prison in 2025; if elected, Sanchez would likely pardon the former president as other left-wing Latin American leaders including Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have urged. How long Sanchez, or for that matter Fujimori, might last in office is another question.* Finally, we turn to the United Kingdom where the dream of a new Leftist party – Your Party – is foundering. After a promising start, Your Party ultimately descended into infighting between the Grassroots Left faction, led by Zarah Sultana, and another faction, the Many, led by former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Your Party also chose to bar from participation any avowedly leftist organizations. These moves, alienating to the very constituencies most interested in backing the YP, paired with the meteoric rise of the Green Party under Zack Polanski and a threatened exodus by the Scottish YP segment, have rendered what could have been a substantial power in Parliament, pressing for concessions on issues if not achieving a majority itself, utterly toothless. An inside account of the internal battles is available at Counterfire.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

He suggests they are slow-walking democratic transitions to exploit oil deals, hoping to outlast the Trump administration's pressure and US midterms.8. Evan Ellis highlights Argentina's economic progress under Javier Milei and Luis Caputo, supported by a new IMF deal. Milei has cut spending to reactivate the economy while the Peronist opposition remains defeated.9. Andrea Stricker discusses Iran's chemical weapons program, including aerosolized fentanyl. Israel has struck research facilities at Imam Hussein University to degrade these capabilities, which Iran co-mingles with civilian academic programs.10. Andrea Stricker emphasizes targeting Iran's chemical supply chain involving China, India, and Mexico. She advocates international pressure through the Australia Group and UN 1540 Committee to prevent Tehran from restoring illicit weapons.11. Joe Pistrito and Phil Swan evaluate the Artemis 2 mission's success. They argue the space race with China drives NASA priorities, despite disagreements on the efficiency of commercial versus government architectures for lunar exploration.12.

He notes the growing popularity of Marine Le Pen as Europe faces economic uncertainty and concerns over Iranian maritime blockades.14. Simon Constable laments the decline of the Royal Navy, noting Britain has more admirals than warships. He criticizes Keir Starmer for resisting military budget increases despite rising threats from Russia and Iran.15. Mary Anastasia O'Grady debunks myths about Cuba's electricity crisis, attributing it to a lack of hard currency rather than the US embargo. The regime prioritizes power for elites and luxury hotels over ordinary citizens.16. Veronique de Rugy addresses common tax myths, explaining that the top 1% already pays 40% of US taxes. She argues that confiscating billionaire wealth would fail to eliminate the massive $25 trillion national deficit.

Born and raised in Punta Hermosa, Peru, José Plaza grew up steeped in surf culture — his father Miguel was a pioneer wave rider in Peru and Hawaii during the 1960s, befriending legends like Eddie Aikau and Greg Noll.  That legacy pushed José into the water early and eventually behind the camera. After a chance encounter with filmmaker Wes Brown deep in the Peruvian jungle, José transitioned into filmmaking, starting with surf films featuring top Peruvian athletes.  Today, he documents the raw beauty of Peruvian surfing, blending insider knowledge with a filmmaker's eye.  And he share some incredible stories with Kevin Miller and John Brooks.  Enjoy.

Today, they're achieving that vision at scale by empowering artisans in developing economies to sell their handmade goods directly to consumers. Since its launch over 20 years ago, NOVICA has sent over $142 million to more than 10,000 global artists.“We wanted to figure out a better way [for artisans] to access the market,” Roberto explained. “We built a system around being close to the artists through these Artisan Empowerment Hubs.”These hubs—located in countries like Bali, Brazil, Peru, and Guatemala—allow artisans to set their own prices, access 0% interest microcredit, and retain control over their creations. The model also preserves cultural heritage by sustaining endangered art forms while fostering economic independence for artisans, many of whom are women supporting families in their communities.Roberto's personal connection to this mission is rooted in his family history. “My grandmother on my Peruvian side was an artisan,” he shared, revealing his understanding of the challenges talented creators face. Artists are often geographically distant from buyers and hampered by middlemen, leading to slim profits despite their valuable craftsmanship. NOVICA addressed this gap by restructuring supply chains and creating digital tools to remove barriers for artisans.Now, NOVICA is raising capital for its next phase of growth by broadening investor participation through a StartEngine campaign. On the platform, anyone—not just accredited investors—can invest in NOVICA for as little as $300. Investors also gain perks like discounts or elevated customer status on NOVICA's website. “It's almost like democratizing on the investment side,” Roberto said, emphasizing how the crowdsourcing model aligns with the company's mission.Driven by their success, Roberto and his team recently launched Handmade.com, a complementary marketplace that leverages AI to help artisans manage their own product listings, allowing NOVICA to scale globally.“We're eyeing the $100 million mark,” Roberto shared. “With Handmade.com and other innovations, we're positioned to grow quickly while staying true to our mission.”By building solutions that uplift global artisans, NOVICA demonstrates how social entrepreneurship can make a lasting difference—preserving culture, creating livelihoods, and connecting communities.tl;dr:NOVICA empowers artisans globally, sending them $142 million via artist hubs in 10 countries.Roberto Milk's family connection inspired the creation of NOVICA to disrupt traditional supply chains.NOVICA is scaling through a StartEngine campaign, allowing anyone to invest for as little as $300.Handmade.com expands NOVICA's mission by using AI to help artisans self-manage product listings.Roberto credits “channeling empathy” as key to overcoming obstacles and driving social impact success.How to Develop Channeling Empathy As a SuperpowerWhen asked about his superpower, Roberto identified the ability to “channel empathy” as the key skill that drives his success. “The process of building a social impact company is really hard,” he explained. “Channeling empathy...has helped us push through and succeed because there was no plan B.”Empathy is at the heart of the NOVICA model. By deeply listening to artisans' struggles, needs, and dreams, Roberto and his team designed solutions that respect their craft, such as creating empowerment hubs that treat artists like “queens or kings.” These hubs provide not only financial tools like microcredit but also dignity, collaboration, and access to global markets, enabling artisans to thrive.One artisan, Leoncio Tinoco, an award-winning master weaver from Peru, struggled to make a living despite his expertise. NOVICA commissioned him to create a stunning tapestry depicting the iconic Afghan refugee girl from a National Geographic cover. The project brought Leoncio much-needed income and connected him with global recognition. The finished piece now resides at National Geographic's headquarters, symbolizing the power of empathy to change lives.Tips for Developing Empathy as a Strength:Listen Intentionally: Take extra time to fully understand others' words, emotions, and perspectives before responding.Practice Awareness: Be open to inspiration from conversations, meetings, or everyday experiences.Focus on Impact: Prioritize solutions that help others thrive while preserving dignity and culture.Build Relationships: Collaborate with individuals as partners in shared success, not just as contributors to your goals.By following Roberto's example and advice, anyone can make channeling empathy a skill. With practice and effort, this could become a superpower that enables greater impact in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileRoberto Milk (he/him):Co-founder & CEO, NOVICA & Handmade.comAbout NOVICA & Handmade.com: NOVICA is an established, mission-driven leader in the global artisan marketplace, with over $20M in revenue and global infrastructure already in place.

One topic that comes up quite often on Audio Branding is audio technology, and how far it's come over just the last few years. Whether it's choosing the right sound equipment, deciding if you should record with noise cancellation turned on (and just for the record, you shouldn't), or taking advantage of advanced recording options like 3-D audio and Dolby Atmos, there's a lot to consider when it comes to sound. But you might be surprised to learn that the science of sound optimization is a lot older than surround sound, or stereo recordings, or even audio recordings at all.Sound has been a part of our lives for as long as we've been around, and it turns out that we've been finding ways to boost sound quality and reshape the acoustic landscape around us for just as long. From ancient Roman amplifiers to prehistoric boulder harmonies, our ancestors explored the possibilities of sound in ways that scientists today are still trying to understand.Creating just the right sound experience can be a big enough challenge for modern-day concerts and movie theaters. How do you do it when you don't have any microphones or speakers? This was the problem faced by Greek and Roman architects, and the science of archaeoacoustics, of how sound was shaped and used in ancient times, hasn't entirely unraveled their solution. According to the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, they used “acoustic jars,” or “echea” in Greek, small brass cups built into the walls between each of the seats. He didn't invent them, though, so we aren't sure who originally came up with the idea. These echea were believed to resonate and amplify spoken voices, boosting their sound for each listener like a set of personal speakers. They were arranged according to precise mathematical rules that differed depending on the theater's dimensions.Did they really work? They must have worked well enough, since they were popular not only during antiquity but also in medieval times, with over a hundred cathedrals in France alone putting them to use. But research continues on just how they worked as well as they did. Some studies suggest that they didn't actually amplify sound, but instead absorbed some of the surrounding frequencies to muffle the background noise: the world's first noise-cancellation technology, more than two thousand years before headphones. But a 2011 presentation at the Acoustics of Ancient Theatres conference suggested that maybe their resonance effect did amplify sound. The verdict's still out.If you'd like to hear an echea's resonance for yourself, here's a clip of a sound sculpture by Michele Spranghero that puts one to haunting use:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb57mGHy4OERome wasn't the only ancient civilization to take advantage of sonic resonance. More than a thousand years earlier, and several thousand miles away, lies the Peruvian archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar, once the capital city of the Chavin civilization. Its temples, plazas, and surviving buildings have been studied for many decades, and lately that research has helped uncover the role that sound and harmonic frequencies played in its religious ceremonies.One artifact that's been consistently found there is the pututu, a wind instrument that's also known as a conch trumpet since it's made from the shell of a conch. This may be a little surprising since the ocean's well over a hundred miles away, but there might be a surprising reason why so many ancient conch trumpets have been recovered from the Chavin temples.A research team from the Acoustical Society of America, accompanied by Stanford researcher Dr. Chris Chafe, investigated the acoustical properties of their chambers and discovered that they're designed to resonate with the pututu's distinctively warbling frequencies, not only amplifying them but pulling two or more pututu players into a musical harmony that's felt as much as it's heard. This effect can be experienced elsewhere – it comes from the rhythmic “beats” that emerge from its natural interference patterns – but it's stronger inside the buildings. Some researchers have suggested this resonant harmony was a key part of the city's religious ceremonies and that the temple's soundscape was intended to create a profound experience for the musicians and their audience.If you're curious about what a pututu sounds like, here's a short clip:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5PkUXBo4NIThere are plenty of soundscapes and resonant frequencies all around us, of course, and one of our earliest encounters with them might have been as simple as tripping over a rock. They're called ringing rocks, or singing stones or sonorous rocks, and their discovery by prehistoric tribes all over the world led to one of the first musical instruments ever made, the rock gong or stone chimes.Ringing rocks are volcanic rocks, such as dolerite or basalt, and even though they aren't made of metal and they aren't hollow, they ring like bells when they're struck. Groups of singing stones can be found throughout the world, from Ringing Rock Park in Pennsylvania and the Bell Rock Range of Australia to sonorous stone fields in Africa and Europe, and the science behind their sound isn't as simple as you might think. According to a 1965 study by geologist Richard Faas, the rocks actually create a series of inaudibly low, or infrasonic, audio frequencies, but those overlapping frequencies constructively interfere with each other to create sounds that our ears can detect.But where do those low frequencies come from in the first place? Science is still working on that mystery, and some theories suggest it has to do with the rock's structural tension, making it a kind of stone guitar string that vibrates with a hard tap. And if that isn't mysterious enough, the Singing Stones of Brittany clearly didn't come from the place they're found today, but no one knows when or how they arrived. Did ancient people recognize their acoustic properties and relocate them as oversized musical instruments? Or were the stones, as legend has it, left there by the Devil?Check out this clip of a visitor at Ringing Rocks Park in Pennsylvania using six singing stones, each with its own distinctive note, to play a familiar melody:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKtkbH6ANykSound has connected us to each other and the world around us since the dawn of time, and we've been discovering new ways to harness its power for just as long. As we move into the future, learning those lessons could help us reshape the way we experience it in the years to come.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Two phrases spoken during this week's episode stand out because they represent how Ana and I approach our searches for new music. The first: “The only limit is the imagination.” In my constant hunt for the sound I have never heard, this thought is my mantra. The new music we're bringing this week really steps up to that challenge, from young upstarts like Broke Carrey to beloved veterans like Draco Rosa.The second phrase? “Latin music is a geography not a genre.” Ana put into words something she and I talk about often, the idea that the term “Latin music” is no longer adequate to reflect that amazingly eclectic forms of musical expression in the Spanish-speaking world. This episode features musicians from Argentina, Peru, the Dominican Republic and elsewhere -- but what they share is a distinct artistic expression that consistently blows our minds.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
