En este episodio, que abre la segunda temporada, conversamos con el artista Gato e' Monte.Gustavo Casallas nació y creció en Bosa rodeado de grunge y punk. Sin embargo, en un momento de su juventud se distanció de estos géneros para perseguir el lenguaje oculto de instrumentos como la bandola en la música llanera, en la que vio una promesa de originalidad y de mayor cercanía con ese contexto que lo rodeaba.Tras sumergirse por años en una investigación empírica en los Llanos colombianos, Gato e' Monte creó su propio instrumento, el Chiflamero, y empezó a conquistar desde hace unos años la escena local con músicas que no se habían escuchado antes en los bares de Chapinero o Bosa. Tomando elementos de la cantautoría, las músicas campesinas que han narrado este país, el grunge, y la cumbia, Casallas empezó a forjar un universo sonoro que intenta captar el talante indomable de esta ciudad capital.Entretejiendo estos sonidos, Gato e' Monte le canta a Bosa, a la pollería que su familia montó hace más de 40 años, a los ídolos de Millos, su equipo del alma, al desamor, a la amistad, a la noche y a la voluntad mística que llega con ella. ¿A qué le quiere cantar ahora? Sobre esto, y sobre su próxima presentación en esta edición del Festival Estéreo Picnic, hablamos en esta conversación.

De bizarre ontknoping van de Giro d'Italia ligt pas net achter ons, maar de gedachtes van het peloton zijn alweer bij de volgende grote ronde. Niet gek, want over vier weken begint al de Tour de France 2025. De aanloop daar naartoe is begonnen en daar staan we in de WielerFlits Podcast uitgebreid bij stil!Deze podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MNSTRY, producent van hoogwaardige sportvoeding. Zij verkopen nu ook ‘s werelds eerste Bicarb Gel 40. Bicarbonaat en koolhydraten in één kant-en-klare gel voor tijdens jouw race of training. Gebruik in de webshop van MNSTRY de code ‘BICARB20WF' en krijg tot en met 15 juni 20% korting op deze nieuwe Bicarb-gel.Wat zit er in de show?Maxim en Youri stellen vast dat dit Critérium du Dauphiné een volgende stap is in het plan van de topteams naar de Ronde van Frankrijk. De topfavorieten voor die wedstrijd - Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard en Remco Evenepoel - staan vanaf komende zondag allemaal aan het vertrek in de Dauphiné en met hen ook al bijna hun gehele Tour-selecties. Dat maakt het een heel interessante wedstrijd. Volgens Youri ligt de druk vol op Vingegaard, die dit seizoen het minst van alle drie heeft laten zien. Maar veel conclusies vastbinden aan deze voorbereidingskoers doen ze niet.Wel vinden beide heren het een beetje jammer dat de Ronde van Zwitserland een week later valt. Voor de wielerfans thuis op de bank biedt het twee weken lang dagelijks kijkplezier, maar de klimtijdrit op de slotdag in Zwitserland had - met het oog op de klimtijdrit in de Tour - toch een boel klassementsrenners kunnen trekken. Nu blokkeert ‘de vierde grote ronde ‘ (zoals men de Tour de Suisse ook wel noemt) een tweede hoogtestage richting de Tour. Het toptrio in het Critérium du Dauphiné kiest allemaal voor die weg. Mogelijk ook zonder kampioenschappen.Dat geldt tevens voor Mathieu van der Poel, die ondanks een breukje in zijn pols acte de présence geeft in de Dauphiné. De organisatie van het WK Gravel hoopt dat later dit jaar ook. Zuid-Limburg is op 11 en 12 oktober gastheer voor dat wereldkampioenschap; MVDP is titelverdediger in die discipline. Parcoursbouwer Bram Tankink ziet het alvast graag gebeuren. Woensdag werden de omlopen door Beek, Beekdaelen en Maastricht voorgesteld. WielerFlits is de exclusieve media-partner van het WK Gravel en zal de komende maanden genoeg aandacht aan dit WK schenken.

It's episode 40(!!) of Indieventure, and this episode, we're checking in with what we've all been playing recently and turns out it's a fantastic bundle of indies! Who would have guessed!   Our May 2025 list includes the bonkers immersive sim Skin Deep, the cutesy mystery adventure The Beekeeper's Picnic: A Sherlockian Adventure, the introspective, interactive essay Many Nights a Whisper, Rusty Lake's secret-stuffed The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show, nostalgic slice-of-life Despelote, and yes-we-know-it's-not-strictly-indie-but-it's-double-A-so-we're-yapping-about-it Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.   We then launch into our opinions on the second (and final) chapter of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. A lot of mixed feelings here, but the overall consensus is that we love Bloom and Rage, but Don't Nod needs to chuck their stealth sections in the bin. Thanks in advance Don't Nod, love you though oxoxo. If you'd like to avoid (minor) spoilers, we talk about the game between 1:05:00 - 1:39:00.   We round off the episode with some hyperfixations! Rachel's pick is the Thinky Direct, a very cool showcase celebrating thinky games which you should definitely watch, PUH-LEASE (6pm BST, 29th May, and if you missed it, it'll be on YouTube). Liam has been falling back in love with the Switch before the release of the Switch 2. And finally, Rebecca talks about about Game Performance Matters, an initiative formed by a group of voice actors who are pushing back against studios using AI in the VA space - a disgusting practice which is becoming scarily more common in the video games industry. She's been chatting voice actor Kit Harrison, who has provided important resources for those who would like to support Game Performance Matters and the ongoing voice actors' strike in the games industry. We'll link them all below.   Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic.

Els primers dies del setembre del 1994 coneixiem una resolució de la direcció general de costes, que denegava al Club de Mar i a l'Ajuntament la sol·licitud de concessió per ocupar l'immoble (la concessió del Club de Mar havia finalitzat el 31 de desembre del 1990 i l'Ajuntament intentà recuperar l'espai) i ordenava a la demarcació de costes de Catalunya a iniciar els tràmits per a l'enderroc de les instal·lacions, i per a la retirada de les mateixes del domini públic. Aquella resolució iniciava un recorregut als tribunals que ha arribat fins avui, i no fou fins 20 anys després, el 2014, que l'edifici del Club de Mar seria declarat Bé Cultural d'Interès Local. Us oferim dos audios de dues entrevistes realitzades els dies 5 i 6 de setembre de 1994. Intervenen l'aleshores president del Club, Josep Ballester, i l'aleshores regidor de platges de l'Ajuntament, Armand Paco, qui a la vegada advertia que Kansas i Pic-Nic podien seguir el mateix camí, perquè havia finalitzat la concessió del primer i la del segon arribaria aviat.

CLOSE OF THE COLD WAR:     4/4: The Picnic:A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain by  Matthew Longo  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Picnic-Dream-Freedom-Collapse-Curtain/dp/0393540774/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic―it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German “vacationers” packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. Drawing on dozens of original interviews―including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary―Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls? Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken―and the opportunities we failed to take―in that pivotal moment. 1967 BERLIN

 In this episode, Fred shares two intense encounters from the Bristol Bay area in Alaska. Kelly's story from the early 1960s recounts a frightening run-in with what her cousin called a 'Harry man' while berry-picking near Lake NCA and Lake Beverly. This vivid narrative details their initial playful adventure turning into a nightmare as they come across the creature hunting a caribou. The second story, from Marty in 1995, describes his and his friend Lewis's eerie experience while on a fishing trip near Mount Tick Chick. After hearing unsettling whoops and strange noises, they are confronted by a large, humanoid figure. Marty's account delves into their attempts to stay safe and their ultimate retreat to their plane. Both stories highlight the mysterious and potentially dangerous presence of unknown beings in the Alaskan wilderness.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AM00:00 Greetings from Alaska 00:04 Kelly's Story Begins 00:45 The Picnic and Berry Picking 02:59 A Strange Encounter 05:55 The Harry Man Revealed 11:06 Panic and Escape 13:51 Reuniting at the Beach 18:07 Wrapping Up the Beach Encounter 19:39 Marty's Aviation Adventure Begins 21:15 Fishing Trip Takes a Turn 23:35 First Signs of Trouble 25:05 A Night of Unsettling Encounters 30:11 Deciding to Retreat 36:20 Morning After and Departure 38:03 Final Thoughts and FarewellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
