Miguel Ángel Santolaria tiene de invitado especial al director gerente del Auditorio de Zaragoza, "Princesa Leonor", Miguel Ángel Tapia, para hablarnos de las representaciones en la Sala Mozart del citado recinto, del 18 al 21 del mes actual de la ópera póstuma de Puccini, Turandot, de la que en el pasado 25 de abril, se cumplió el centenario de su estreno en el Teatro allá Scala de Milán, por parte de nuestro paisano el legendario tenor, Miguel Fleta. También nos informa de la programación de la próxima temporada de grandes conciertos con importantes acontecimientos.
Parmi les 25 milliards d'euros annuels alloués au budget de la culture, moins d'un tiers irrigue réellement les territoires. Depuis quarante ans, le ministère, ses DRAC et ses technocrates parisiens promeuvent une culture hors-sol centraliste. Il est temps de passer à l'offensive. Le Puy du Fou (2,5 millions de visiteurs, 96 % autofinancé), Nadau qui remplit le Palais des Congrès sans France Inter, le succès de la Feria d'Arles et du festival photos de la Gacilly, quelle que soit l'étiquette de leurs maires, montrent bien qu'une autre politique est possible. La vraie fracture n'est pas partisane au sens du clivage gauche-droite, mais bien idéologique : entre ceux qui transmettent une civilisation vivante et ceux qui la diluent, entre ceux qui rassemblent et élèvent le peuple par le Beau et les fossoyeurs de tout cadre éthique et esthétique commun au motif que tout serait culture. Donc plus rien ne l'est.Reste encore à définir clairement ce que serait une véritable politique culturelle enracinée. Car la culture-gadget, propre à la société de consommation, domine, et il devient de plus en plus difficile de savoir ce qui relève de l'accessoire de la réelle culture, enracinée par définition.Cette nécessité obligera enfin le camp identitaire et patriote à entrer dans l'arène, où il devra prouver que ses intentions ne relèvent pas d'un attachement poussiéreux et réactionnaire aux vieilles pierres, mais bien d'une architecture pour l'avenir, solidement ancrée dans les fondations pluriséculaires de l'Europe.Viendra alors le temps de l'action. Oser prendre des initiatives dans un contexte hostile où, il faut le dire, la droite manque singulièrement d'audace, d'imagination et de curiosité. Sans parler d'une stratégie.Nous mettrons sur la table un certain nombre de sujets : les alliances culturelles au-delà des étiquettes : reniement ou intelligence ? La multiplication des initiatives (Les Murmures de la Cité, l'association Arcade, les festivals de musiques traditionnelles) : les coordonner ou les laisser essaimer ? Face au harcèlement de la gauche (pétitions, retraits de subventions, intimidations) : contre-attaquer ou contourner ? Les outils disponibles (DRAC, 1 % artistique, mécénat, budgets municipaux) : les réformer ou simplement s'en emparer ?Ensemble, nous mènerons un débat concret sur les possibilités réelles qui s'offrent à nous dans les champs locaux, nationaux et européens. De quoi esquisser, peut-être, un véritable manuel de combat culturel. Pour en discuter, nous recevons deux spécialistes de ces questions :Marguerite Frison-Roche : diplômée de Sciences Po, de la Sorbonne et de la Scala de Milan, et fondatrice du think tank Disruptif. Elle travaille sur la réforme des politiques culturelles par les institutions, et plaide pour réinvestir l'échelon local comme levier décisif.Hubert Calmettes : spécialiste du marketing de l'offre, essayiste, contributeur d'Éléments et de Polémia, intervenant aux colloques de l'Institut Iliade, il plaide pour une autre voie : assumer une contre-culture, reconquérir le peuple par une offre dissidente forte, sans attendre que les institutions bougent. Il est l'auteur du Guide marketing de la dissidence aux éditions de La Nouvelle Librairie.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Avec son seul en scène « Mérou », qui se joue actuellement à la Scala de Paris, l'humoriste Lou Trotignon devient l'un des premiers comédiens français à consacrer un spectacle entier à la transidentité, via son expérience personnelle. En plus de cette représentation fraîche et intimiste, une collection d'archives sélectionnée en collaboration avec le Centre d'archives, des mémoires et des cultures LGBTQI+ est également visible sur place. « Les minorités, et pas simplement les LGBTQIA+, ont cette capacité à prendre soin des archives de manière différente, de manière plus collective et de manière communautaire », explique le spécialiste des transféminismes Sam Bourcier, quant à la nécessité de l'existence en France d'un centre d'archives LGBTQIA+. Objets, documents et même des archives orales sont récoltées par le Centre d'archives LGBTQI+, logé pour le moment à Césure (dans le 5è arrondissement de Paris), pour lequel Sam Bourcier œuvre à la programmation. Contrairement à d'autres archives plus conventionnelles, n'importe qui peut alimenter et consulter ces archives, pour la simple et bonne raison que « chaque archive compte », d'après Bourcier, pour qui la France est encore en retard sur la conservation d'archives LGBTQIA+. C'est l'une des raisons pour laquelle l'humoriste Lou Trotignon a décidé de collaborer avec le Centre d'Archives LGBTQI+ de Paris et de les mettre à l'honneur autour de son stand-up sur la transidentité. « Le stand-up, l'humour, c'est juste raconter son histoire et il s'avère que mon histoire, c'est que je suis trans », précise le comédien. J'ai créé ce spectacle pour que des gens comme moi ne se sentent pas seuls. Je parle de transition mais les autres peuvent également se sentir concernés. Trouver son chemin dans ce monde peut être difficile. — Lou Trotignon Trotignon a d'ailleurs choisi de nommer son spectacle « Mérou » en référence à la nature hermaphrodite du mérou, un poisson au sexe indéterminé pendant les premières années de sa vie. « Être trans, pour moi, c'est l'identité du doute, si on doute, c'est qu'on avance », ajoute-t-il. Invités : Lou Trotignon, comédien et humoriste. Son spectacle « Mérou » se joue actuellement à la Scala de Paris, du 9 au 19 juin 2026. Sam Bourcier, sociologue, figure de l'activisme queer, spécialiste des subcultures sexuelles, des féminismes et des transféminismes, collecteur d'archives orales, responsable de la programmation du Centre d'archives LGBTQI+ de Paris et professeur des universités.

In this episode, I explore the dark and fascinating history of digitalis, the powerful toxin derived from the foxglove plant. For centuries, foxglove has been admired for its beauty, growing wild across the British countryside and in cottage gardens, but hidden within its distinctive purple flowers is a substance capable of disrupting the human heart and causing death.From its discovery as a revolutionary heart medication to its reputation as the perfect murder weapon, digitalis occupies a unique place in both medical history and true crime. I examine how the poison works, why it became so attractive to killers, and how its symptoms could easily be mistaken for natural illness, making murder incredibly difficult to detect.This episode also explores the mysterious death of medieval ruler Cangrande della Scala, the notorious Foxglove Murders, healthcare killers who exploited access to medication, and the unsettling possibility that many victims of digitalis poisoning were never identified as murder victims at all.Was digitalis one of history's most effective poisons? And how many deaths attributed to heart failure may have been something far more sinister?Join me as I uncover the history, science, folklore and true crime surrounding one of the world's most beautiful and deadly plants.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.Don't miss an episode - follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

In this episode of OPERA Road Trip, host Sebastian F. Schwarz turns to Belgium—a country whose operatic culture emerged at the crossroads of Europe's great linguistic and political traditions. From the Habsburg courts of Brussels and the French influence on eighteenth-century musical life to the revolutionary atmosphere surrounding Belgian independence in 1830, the episode traces how opera became deeply interwoven with the cultural identity of the young nation. At the centre of that story stands La Monnaie / De Munt—one of Europe's most influential opera houses and a leading force in contemporary music theatre today. The episode features a conversation with Christina Scheppelmann and composer Iain Bell, whose opera Medusa recently received its world premiere in Brussels. Together, they discuss the realities of commissioning new operas in the twenty-first century, the collaboration between institutions and composers, and the importance of understanding the human voice not merely as a dramatic medium, but as one of the composer's central instruments. Special thanks to Iain Bell, La Monnaie / De Munt and Palazzetto Bru Zane for their support and participation in this episode. Opera Road Trip is hosted by Sebastian F. Schwarz who is Casting Director of Milan's Teatro alla Scala and whose curriculum as an opera manager includes CEO and Artistic Director and Administrator positions at Theater an der Wien, Glyndebourne, Teatro Regio Torino, Festival della Valle d'Itria, Hamburgische Staatsoper and Wexford Festival Opera. He is Vice-president of the International Richard Strauss Society, member of the board of the European Musical Theatre Academy and co-founder of the Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera.

Pendant plus de trente ans, un prédateur insaisissable a terrorisé le nord de la France et le Hainaut belge. Entre 1988 et 2018, des dizaines de femmes et de jeunes filles sont agressées selon un mode opératoire glaçant, toujours le même. Pourtant, malgré les plaintes, les indices ADN et les témoignages concordants, l'enquête s'enlise dans les dysfonctionnements policiers et judiciaires. En juin 2022, l'ouverture du procès de Dino Scala révèle l'ampleur vertigineuse de l'affaire : 56 faits de viols, tentatives de viols et agressions sexuelles attribués à un homme que personne ne soupçonnait. Père de famille, éducateur sportif apprécié, voisin serviable, Scala incarnait le visage ordinaire du mal. À travers les témoignages bouleversants des victimes, les erreurs d'enquête, les rivalités entre services et la traque menée des deux côtés de la frontière, ce récit revient sur l'une des plus grandes affaires criminelles françaises contemporaines. Une plongée glaçante dans les failles d'un système qui a laissé un prédateur agir pendant trois décennies. Mais aussi l'histoire d'un combat acharné mené par des femmes, des magistrats et des enquêteurs qui ont refusé de laisser le silence triompher.

Davide De LucaDirettore Fondazione Artea"Città in Note"www.fondazioneartea.orgSei giorni di musica diffusa, giovani talenti e grandi protagonisti della scena internazionale: torna a Cuneo Città in note. La musica dei luoghi, il festival che trasforma la città in un palcoscenico aperto, capace di intrecciare tradizione e contemporaneità, ricerca e spettacolo, formazione e divulgazione.Dal 20 al 25 maggio 2026, teatri, chiese, piazze, spazi monumentali e luoghi naturali accoglieranno un ricco programma di concerti, incontri e performance che coinvolgeranno artisti affermati, ensemble, orchestre e giovani musicisti, in un dialogo continuo tra generi, epoche e linguaggi.La rassegna è ideata e promossa da Fondazione Artea con il Comune di Cuneo, e la direzione artistica di Claudio Carboni coadiuvato da Carlo Maver. Alla sua sesta edizione, Città in note si consolida sempre più come un ecosistema musicale diffuso, capace di coinvolgere pubblici diversi e valorizzare spazi storici, naturali e culturali attraverso una proposta che intreccia qualità artistica e accessibilità.Per informazioni, prenotazioni e biglietti consultare il sito www.fondazioneartea.orgCome nelle passate edizioni, il Teatro Toselli, simbolo culturale della città, sarà il palcoscenico su cui si esibiranno gli ospiti più attesi del festival. Mercoledì 20 maggio, alle 21, ad aprire Città in note sarà l'ensemble de I Virtuosi del Teatro alla Scala, formato da dieci strumentisti in una combinazione originale di cinque archi e cinque fiati. I musicisti porteranno in scena un programma che unisce brillantezza virtuosistica, eleganza melodica e raffinata ricchezza timbrica. Dal brio teatrale di Gioachino Rossini, con le sue pagine scintillanti e piene di humour musicale, fino all'inconfondibile lirismo contemporaneo di Nino Rota, celebre tanto per le sue colonne sonore quanto per la sua produzione cameristica, il concerto racconterà l'evoluzione dello stile musicale italiano.Giovedì 21 maggio alle 21, sarà il musicista acclamato a livello internazionale Raphael Gualazzi a calcare le scene del Toselli. Accompagnato da Anders Ulrich al contrabbasso e Gianluca Nanni alla batteria, l'artista marchigiano regalerà un raffinato omaggio alla musica acustica spaziando da ispirazioni del repertorio africano – americano a divertissements su celebri temi della canzone italiana e tradizione operistica così come una selezione delle sue composizioni personali. Non potranno mancare rivisitazioni di alcuni temi scritti da grandi compositori italiani per il cinema.Sabato 23 maggio, alle 21, la cantautrice e polistrumentista Carmen Consoli, tra le artiste più influenti e premiate della musica italiana, porterà sul palco del Toselli “Territori d'arte”, un concerto che attraversa con naturalezza sonorità acustiche ed elettroniche, dalla musica popolare, al rock anni Settanta e all'indie anni Novanta, fino alla canzone d'autore e al blues, sperimentando e mantenendo un legame costante con la sua terra, la Sicilia, con la sua cultura e le sue tradizioni.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
This week, I'm joined by bass Barnaby Rea for a longer-than-usual opera special I mean if we're doing opera, we've gotta go long, right?!), recorded backstage at the Royal Opera House, London.Barnaby is a British/Irish bass who trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the National Opera Studio. He was a Harewood Artist at English National Opera and a member of the Oper Frankfurt solo ensemble. He has also appeared with companies including the Royal Opera House, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Zurich Opera, Teatro Real, Opéra de Lyon, Scottish Opera and Opera North.We recorded this while Barnaby was performing Doctor Grenvil in Verdi's La traviata, in Richard Eyre's long-running Royal Opera production.This episode was also partly inspired by a recent visit to Milan and the extraordinary Teatro alla Scala, which got me thinking about opera not just as music, but as architecture, social ritual, commerce, class, spectacle and power.So this is partly a conversation about opera singing, partly a look at the machinery of a major opera house, and partly an attempt to understand why opera can feel both thrillingly immediate and socially intimidating.We talk about opera vs musical theatre, why singers train for so long, how a voice can fill a huge theatre without amplification, what “placement” and resonance mean, and why vibrato is not just decorative wobbling.We also get into opera's social context: boxes, gods, stalls, ticket prices, access, prestige, and whether opera's elitist reputation is entirely fair.There's also a wider reflection on live music now: why huge arena shows can dominate the public story of the music industry while smaller venues, grassroots promoters, festivals and independent musicians are struggling.This is a longer episode than usual, but that feels fitting for opera: there is a lot of voice, history, scale and backstage machinery to get into.In this episode00:00 – Steve introduces the opera special, Barnaby Rea, the Royal Opera House and the Milan / La Scala inspiration01:35 – Barnaby's route into opera: school swing band, musical theatre, Sweeney Todd, Guys and Dolls and early training07:30 – Guildhall, opera school, learning the craft, and why opera takes so long to train for properly12:30 – Singing in different languages and understanding what you are actually saying15:40 – Opera vs musical theatre: amplification, stamina, acting, dancing and vocal demands20:45 – Inside the Royal Opera House: backstage scale, sets, docks, ballet and multiple productions24:45 – La Scala, opera boxes, social hierarchy, standing tickets and opera as mass entertainment30:05 – Arena economics, struggling grassroots venues, festivals and why smaller gigs matter36:50 – Is opera elitist? Ticket prices, access, class, prestige and opera culture in Europe42:35 – Entertaining Noises: Barnaby demonstrates the bass voice43:00 – Breath, resonance, placement, formant, range and preparing different roles50:15 – Show days, double casting, vocal recovery, travel, jump-ins and the pressure of saying yes55:00 – Berg, volume, singing without microphones, working with the room, and breathing with the orchestra01:00:30 – Vibrato: what it is, why it exists, and why it is not just decorative wobbling01:03:10 – Steve attempts a brief opera lesson01:07:40 – Learning roles, memory, punctuality, preparation and what performers can control01:12:45 – What is music for?

Now he is bringing the HEAT and bringing the JAM to Winter Park and Winter Garden. Was great to reconnect with Andrew and talk about the transition of opening a new spot and how the opportunity to open at Plant Street Market came to be. We talked Magic basketball and just balancing and growing his Hot Chicken business. Lunch with Biggie is a podcast about small business and creatives sharing their stories and inspiring you to pursue your passion, with some sandwich talk on the side.

From building Ghana Party in the Park for 20 years without corporate support to losing deals worth millions when artists failed to show up, and why the brutal truth about building a legacy in UK entertainment is that you compete against your own people wasting money you don't have when you could have worked smarter together, the man who ran events that became institutions but never got the corporate backing that Ghanaian promoters in Ghana receive from telcos and banks because the Ghanaian community in the UK is a very small percentage, the 100 percent openness to partnership that brought smiles when Western Union and MoneyGram sponsored events wishing they had done even more because that support validated the work being done, the conversation with his friend David that hit hard about how a lot of us don't like systems thinking we just like to do things and sometimes it looks like ego, the church example where the usher says sit here and you start looking funny because you spotted somewhere you want to sit but for the church and the usher she's thinking this will align with the camera position proving we don't like systems thinking, the fear of change that held him and others back when change is good and change is necessary for growth, the Bissakele show at the Forum in London that sold tickets at incredible speed but could have been twice as big if the venue choice was better, the 696 form system that forced black event promoters to assess every DJ and attendee because of knife culture and fighting at clubs putting everyone in one bracket and making it harder to book certain venues, the Scala venue in King's Cross that said no they don't want to do a black event forcing him to find the next alternative when over 200 people were left outside while inside was jam packed proving they could have filled a space twice that size, the mistakes made that he's learned from because you've got to be able to make mistakes to correct them and life you could always do better, the recounting of what he would have done better including getting more people involved in the work and having better understanding with artists he worked with because some of them were personal friends who don't need to speak to you anymore because things didn't go their way, the money wasted by competing against promotional partners like Aloudia, West Coast, DJ Abramship, and Stuk DJs when there were times they had about three events on the same night and could have done one big event instead, the ego and pride that stopped them from working smarter alongside the reality that competition is healthy but if he thinks about it now they could have done better which they are correcting by working closely together now, the discussion about Ghana Party in the Park becoming like Wireless Festival which he 100 percent agrees with but the business decision of whether to take Ghana out of the title when 80 percent of the niche market was the Ghanaian community, the offer that came in 2020 where he was happy to take away the Ghana from the title and had COVID not come in it would still not be Ghana Party in the Park it would have been a different title, the reality that everything he does is Ghana related and maybe that's wrong of him but that's the foundation he built, the wisdom that Ghana starts a lot of things but doesn't own it and somebody else takes it better and he's part of the system that got it wrong, the experience working with legend Daddy Lumba who was very difficult to work with doing three shows successfully in the UK before the fourth show where Daddy Lumba called just days before to say he's not coming just like that with no fault of the promoter, the heavy loss already made at that time with tickets sold and people ready to attend Guest: Dennis Tawiah (Aqualva UK Founder) Host: Derrick Abaitey

Vittorio De Martino"Ne fodias" (Non scavare!)Nuove avventure del protagonista dei "misteri della Rue Bruyère"La Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.comNon scavare, qui ci sono dei morti di peste: così è scritto nel cimitero di un'isola disabitata vicino a Venezia, dove un quadro è stato trovato, nascosto in un pozzo. Roberto Carli è storico dell'arte, deve identificare l'autore. Per Valérie, sua moglie, quel nudo sensuale di un uomo è un ritratto, parla di desiderio, l'ha dipinto una donna. Sbaglia, nel Settecento le pittrici non potevano assistere alle lezioni di nudo, i modelli erano uomini, le donne non imparavano a dipingere i nudi. Roberto scaverà dov'era proibito, e scoprirà una storia dimenticata.Nel secondo racconto torna alla luce un'altra storia speciale, appresa anni prima dal conte Dolfin. Un avo infelice del conte, prigioniero in Turchia, usciva ogni giorno per incontrare una ragazza a Venezia. Il conte aveva otto anni, inventava, erano le fantasie di un bambino. Per fortuna Roberto crede alle favole, hanno il potere di rimediare al dolore. Quell'avo uscivadavvero dalla prigione…Vittorio de Martino storico dell'arte specializzato nelle arti decorative francesi del XVIII secolo. Ha vissuto a lungo a Parigi. Ha pubblicato con La Lepre un romanzo storico, Calma e quieta è la notte, vincitore del Premio Nicola Zingarelli (2020) e il romanzo giallo I Misteri della rue La Bruyère – una casa dimenticata a Parigi il cui protagonista, lo storico dell'arte Roberto Carli, torna in Ne Fodias. Il percorso professionale di Vittorio de Martino è eterogeneo: è stato danzatore al Teatro della Scala, assistente di Eduardo De Filippo, regista d'Opera, autore di programmi televisivi, guida turistica.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Milano, 1946. La guerra è finita da poco, le ferite sono ancora aperte, ma il Teatro alla Scala risorge dalle macerie. Questo episodio ci porta dentro una sera irripetibile: l'11 maggio, quando i milanesi si radunano per ascoltare l'Opera che torna a risuonare, risvegliando la vita. Liliana, diciotto anni, protagonista della nostra storia, assapora una Milano povera ma ostinata, che si riconosce di nuovo nella sua “gente”. Toscanini dirige, Verdi e Puccini si diffondono nelle piazze e nelle vie del centro. Non è solo un concerto: è un gesto di riscatto, un inno collettivo, il momento esatto in cui, dopo tanto dolore e tanta sofferenza, si ricomincia a cantare. Learn more about your ad choices.

Maria Callas n'a jamais vraiment quitté la scène. Celle que l'on surnommait « la divine » continue de hanter les coulisses de l'opéra, bien après sa disparition. Née à New York sous le nom d'Anna Maria Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulous, elle grandit dans l'ombre d'une mère exigeante et d'un père absent, entre rêves brisés et premiers triomphes. Enfant prodige, privée d'enfance, elle forge sa voix comme une armure contre l'adversité. De la Grèce à l'Italie, des salles obscures aux lumières de la Scala, Maria Callas impose son timbre unique, sa fougue et ses failles. Amours tumultueuses, métamorphoses physiques, scandales et passions : sa vie se confond avec les héroïnes tragiques qu'elle incarne. Jusqu'au bout, Callas a cherché l'absolu, sur scène comme dans l'amour, brûlant d'un feu qui ne s'est jamais vraiment éteint.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

It's almost Family Day here in British Columbia, and to celebrate, we've got a tenuously connected episode theme! By request, we listen to "Christmas Must Be Tonight" as performed by SCALA and Kolacny Brothers, a song about the son of a carpenter. Then we pair it with "Let's Make a Baby King" by Wynnona Judd, a song about that same guy and also his mom and also his cousin, and also maybe the concept of an infant-based form of government. The ranking music in this episode is "Nothing But a Child" by Steve Earle. Thank you to Liam for requesting this version of "Christmas Must Be Tonight"!

If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "Another thing which I also observed is that there is some benefit to be able to run your load test in your native... using your native platform, libraries, protocol access; those type of things. Because in our case, for example, we use Orleans and it's a proprietary protocol which doesn't exist in in Java in Scala language. The same about, almost the same, was about Signal R: Microsoft released SignalR for Java, but the quality of this library was different."— Anton Moldovan Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, we're joined by Anton Moldovan to talk about load testing, advice for testing strategies, and how NBomber can help you to load test your applications. Are you sure that your application can handle 4 million users at once? Better load test it before you start boasting. "We call this type of test, like, "user journey." Like, end-to-end simulating user journey across entire applications. So end-to-end, end-to-end flow, end-to-end tests. But this type of test they they have some downsides."— Anton Moldovan Along the way, we talked the different types of testing involved in getting your application for production, the many different ways that NBomber (or other load testing suites) can help you prepare for that, and Anton helps us understand a little more about functional programming.

The musical mind of Barry Adamson was so cinematic he created soundtracks for movies that didn't exist. Until they did. He starts out with the essential post-punk band Magazine, who released some of the best albums the genre had to offer. He was restless though and after time in Visage and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, he committed the music in his head to tape with the solo album, Moss Side Story and never stopped. Barry's music has always had a heavy cinematic quality which lead to him eventually scoring films, of course. Last week he released his new album, SCALA!, which is the soundtrack to the new documentary on the legendary art-house cinema in London which was a gathering place for him and artsy people like him for decades. We get to hear stories about all the stops along the way in his musical journey, working with people like Nick Cave and Midge Ure, growing up bi-racial, and more. Enjoy!

"Scala" It's hard to explain everything Barry Adamson did before he was thirty. By then, his resume' was so packed with highlights it was hard to believe there was room for more. But there was. Like, a lot more. Let me explain. The Manchester-born Barry Adamson got his start in music in the late '70s by playing bass for Magazine, a band led by ex-Buzzcock Howard DeVoto. Adamson, who was briefly in the Buzzcocks himself, went on to play with Visage and Luxuria before joining Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Adamson played on legendary Cave albums like From Her To Eternity and Kicking Against The Pricks and from there, he stepped into the Iggy Pop fold and toured with Mr. Pop in '87. By then, Adamson was close to thirty and in many ways, that's the point where he really started to spread his musical wings, realizing he liked being on his own than being one of the guys in a band. From there, Adamson started to explore electronic and dub-fueled soundscapes and he moved effortlessly from strength to strength, releasing classic solo albums like Moss Side Story, the 1992 Mercury Prize nominated Soul Murder and his new one, La Scala. More on that in a minute. Over the course of his winning career, Adamson has played with The Birthday, Party, collaborated with everyone from Pulp's Jarvis Crocker to Billy McKenzie of the Associates, contributed to movie soundtracks like David Lynch's Lost Highway and done remixes for everyone from Depeche Mode to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. His new album La Scala is the original score for the 2023 documentary Scala!!! Or, The Incredibly Strange Rise And Fall Of The World's Wildest Cinema. The film is a stirring and rousing homage to the legendary London arthouse movie theatre and Adamson's inventive score uses elements of jazz, funk and post-punk noir to detail the rise and fall of a building that meant a lot of people whose lives were saved by the freedom and spirit of life in the counterculture. www.barryadamson.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG + Bluesky: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

SHOW1-8-2026THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE SARCASTIC INVENTION, THE DON-ROE DICTRINE..SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 1COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 2THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MYTH OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Richard Epstein challenges the view that the Roberts Court blindly supports a "unitary executive." He argues the Court is correctly questioning the constitutionality of independent administrative agencies, like the FTC, which insulate officials from presidential removal. Epstein contends that relying on case counts ignores the specific legal merits regarding separation of powers. NUMBER 3TRUMP V. ILLINOIS: LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL POWER OVER THE NATIONAL GUARD Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Discussing a recent unsigned Supreme Court order, Epstein notes the Court upheld a decision preventing the President from deploying the National Guard without a governor's consent. This ruling contradicts claims of judicial bias toward the executive, affirming that the President cannot simply declare an emergency to override state sovereignty. NUMBER 4ONE YEAR LATER: ANGER AND STAGNATION AFTER THE PALISADES FIRE Colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch. A year after the Palisades fires, Jeff Bliss reports that residents remain angry over government inaction. Rebuilding is stalled by the Coastal Commission's strict regulations, and fuel loads in canyons remain high due to environmental restrictions on brush clearing. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds, highlight systemic bureaucratic failures in Los Angeles. NUMBER 5#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers. NUMBER 6LANCASTER COUNTY: AMISH SPENDING AND DATA CENTER GROWTH Colleague Jim McTague, Author and Former Barron's Editor. Jim McTague reports that the Lancaster County economy remains robust, evidenced by heavy Amish spending at Costco and thriving local businesses like Kegel's Produce. Despite some local protests, data centers are being built on old industrial sites. McTague sees no need for Fed rate cuts given the stable local economy. NUMBER 7THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil. NUMBER 8THE SIEGE OF 717 AND THE VOLCANO OF THERA Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. In 717 AD, Arab forces besieged Constantinople but failed due to the city's massive walls and "Greek fire." Professor Watts explains that a subsequent volcanic eruption in Thera was interpreted as divine punishment for the empire's sins, leading to a spiritual crisis and the rise of iconoclasm to appease God. NUMBER 9THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 10THE CRUSADES: FROM COOPERATION TO CONFLICT Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Relations between East and West collapsed during the Crusades. While the First Crusade cooperated with Rome, the Second and Third turned hostile, with Crusaders seizing territory rather than returning it. Watts notes that the theological schism of 1054 and cultural distrust entrenched this division, setting the stage for future betrayal. NUMBER 111204: THE SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE END OF CONTINUITY Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. The Fourth Crusade, diverted by Venetian debt, sacked Constantinople in 1204, burning the city to quell resistance. Watts argues this marked the true end of the ancient Roman state. The meritocratic system collapsed, and elites like Nicetas Choniates lost everything, severing the 2,000-year political continuity of the empire. NUMBER 12VENEZUELA: THE REGIME SURVIVES MADURO'S EXIT Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal. Despite Maduro's removal, the Venezuelan regime remains intact under hardliners Delcy Rodriguez and Diosdado Cabello. Mary Anastasia O'Grady notes that repression continues, and European oil companies are hesitant to invest. The regime feigns cooperation to avoid US intervention, but genuine recovery is impossible without restoring the rule of law. NUMBER 13RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 14EUROPEAN FREEZE AND THE MYTH OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND Colleague Simon Constable, Journalist and Author. A deep freeze hits Southern Europe while commodity prices like copper rise. Simon Constable reports on the UK's bleak economic mood and dismisses the feasibility of British or French "boots on the ground" in Ukraine. He notes that depleted military manpower makes such guarantees declarative rather than substantial. NUMBER 15ARTEMIS 2 RISKS AND THE SEARCH FOR LIFE IN SPACE Colleague Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com. Bob Zimmerman urges NASA to fly Artemis 2 unmanned due to unresolved Orion heat shield damage, arguing safety should trump beating China. He also dismisses concerns about lunar methane contamination and highlights a new study suggesting ice caps could allow liquid water lakes to exist on Mars. NUMBER 16

BONUS: Swimming in Tech Debt — Practical Techniques to Keep Your Team from Drowning in Its Codebase In this fascinating conversation, veteran software engineer and author Lou Franco shares hard-won lessons from decades at startups, Trello, and Atlassian. We explore his book "Swimming in Tech Debt," diving deep into the 8 Questions framework for evaluating tech debt decisions, personal practices that compound over time, team-level strategies for systematic improvement, and leadership approaches that balance velocity with sustainability. Lou reveals why tech debt is often the result of success, how to navigate the spectrum between ignoring debt and rewriting too much, and practical techniques individuals, teams, and leaders can use starting today. The Exit Interview That Changed Everything "We didn't go slower by paying tech debt. We went actually faster, because we were constantly in that code, and now we didn't have to run into problems." — Lou Franco Lou's understanding of tech debt crystallized during an exit interview at Atalasoft, a small startup where he'd spent years. An engineer leaving the company confronted him: "You guys don't care about tech debt." Lou had been focused on shipping features, believing that paying tech debt would slow them down. But this engineer told a different story — when they finally fixed their terrible build and installation system, they actually sped up. They were constantly touching that code, and removing the friction made everything easier. This moment revealed a fundamental truth: tech debt isn't just about code quality or engineering pride. It's about velocity, momentum, and the ability to move fast sustainably. Lou carried this lesson through his career at Trello (where he learned the dangers of rewriting too much) and Atlassian (where he saw enterprise-scale tech debt management). These experiences became the foundation for "Swimming in Tech Debt." Tech Debt Is the Result of Success "Tech debt is often the result of success. Unsuccessful projects don't have tech debt." — Lou Franco This reframes the entire conversation about tech debt. Failed products don't accumulate debt — they disappear before it matters. Tech debt emerges when your code survives long enough to outlive its original assumptions, when your user base grows beyond initial expectations, when your team scales faster than your architecture anticipated. At Atalasoft, they built for 10 users and got 100. At Trello, mobile usage exploded beyond their web-first assumptions. Success creates tech debt by changing the context in which code operates. This means tech debt conversations should happen at different intensities depending on where you are in the product lifecycle. Early startups pursuing product-market fit should minimize tech debt investments — move fast, learn, potentially throw away the code. Growth-stage companies need balanced approaches. Mature products benefit significantly from tech debt investments because operational efficiency compounds over years. Understanding this lifecycle perspective helps teams make appropriate decisions rather than applying one-size-fits-all rules. The 8 Questions Framework for Tech Debt Decisions "Those 8 questions guide you to what you should do. If it's risky, has regressions, and you don't even know if it's gonna work, this is when you're gonna do a project spike." — Lou Franco Lou introduces a systematic framework for evaluating whether to pay tech debt, inspired by Bob Moesta's push-pull forces from product management. The 8 questions create a complete picture: Visibility — Will people outside the team understand what we're doing? Alignment — Does this match our engineering values and target architecture? Resistance — How hard is this code to work with right now? Volatility — How often do we touch this code? Regression Risk — What's the chance we'll introduce new problems? Project Size — How big is this to fix? Estimate Risk — How uncertain are we about the effort required? Outcome Uncertainty — How confident are we the fix will actually improve things? High volatility and high resistance with low regression risk? Pay the debt now. High regression risk with no tests? Write tests first, then reassess. Uncertain outcomes on a big project? Do a spike or proof of concept. The framework prevents both extremes — ignoring costly debt and undertaking risky rewrites without proper preparation. Personal Practices That Compound Daily "When I sit down at my desk, the first thing I do is I pay a little tech debt. I'm looking at code, I'm about to change it, do I even understand it? Am I having some kind of resistance to it? Put in a little helpful comment, maybe a little refactoring." — Lou Franco Lou shares personal habits that create compounding improvements over time. Start each coding session by paying a small amount of tech debt in the area you're about to work — add a clarifying comment, extract a confusing variable, improve a function name. This warms you up, reduces friction for your actual work, and leaves the code slightly better than you found it. The clean-as-you-go philosophy means tech debt never accumulates faster than you can manage it. But Lou's most powerful practice comes at the end of each session: mutation testing by hand. Before finishing for the day, deliberately break something — change a plus to minus, a less-than to less-than-or-equal. See if tests catch it. Often they don't, revealing gaps in test coverage. The key insight: don't fix it immediately. Leave that failing test as the bridge to tomorrow's coding session. It connects today's momentum to tomorrow's work, ensuring you always start with context and purpose rather than cold-starting each day. Mutation Testing: Breaking Things on Purpose "Before I'm done working on a coding session, I break something on purpose. I'll change a plus to a minus, a less than to a less than equals, and see if tests break. A lot of times tests don't break. Now you've found a problem in your test." — Lou Franco Manual mutation testing — deliberately breaking code to verify tests catch the break — reveals a critical gap in most test suites. You can have 100% code coverage and still have untested behavior. A line of code that's executed during tests isn't necessarily tested — the test might not actually verify what that line does. By changing operators, flipping booleans, or altering constants, you discover whether your tests protect against actual logic errors or just exercise code paths. Lou recommends doing this manually as part of your daily practice, but automated tools exist for systematic discovery: Stryker (for JavaScript, C#, Scala) and MutMut (for Python) can mutate your entire codebase and report which mutations survive uncaught. This isn't just about test quality — it's about understanding what your code actually does and building confidence that changes won't introduce subtle bugs. Team-Level Practices: Budgets, Backlogs, and Target Architecture "Create a target architecture document — where would we be if we started over today? Every PR is an opportunity to move slightly toward that target." — Lou Franco At the team level, Lou advocates for three interconnected practices. First, create a target architecture document that describes where you'd be if starting fresh today — not a detailed design, but architectural patterns, technology choices, and structural principles that represent current best practices. This isn't a rewrite plan; it's a North Star. Every pull request becomes an opportunity to move incrementally toward that target when touching relevant code. Second, establish a budget split between PM-led feature work and engineering-led tech debt work — perhaps 80/20 or whatever ratio fits your product lifecycle stage. This creates predictable capacity for tech debt without requiring constant negotiation. Third, hold quarterly tech debt backlog meetings separate from sprint planning. Treat this backlog like PMs treat product discovery — explore options, estimate impacts, prioritize based on the 8 Questions framework. Some items fit in sprints; others require dedicated engineers for a quarter or two. This systematic approach prevents tech debt from being perpetually deprioritized while avoiding the opposite extreme of engineers disappearing into six-month "improvement" projects with no visible progress. The Atlassian Five-Alarm Fire "The Atlassian CTO's 'five-alarm fire' — stopping all feature development to focus on reliability. I reduced sync errors by 75% during that initiative." — Lou Franco Lou shares a powerful example of leadership-driven tech debt management at scale. The Atlassian CTO called a "five-alarm fire" — halting all feature development across the company to focus exclusively on reliability and tech debt. This wasn't panic; it was strategic recognition that accumulated debt threatened the business. Lou worked on reducing sync errors, achieving a 75% reduction during this focused period. The initiative demonstrated several leadership principles: willingness to make hard calls that stop revenue-generating feature work, clear communication of why reliability matters strategically, trust that teams will use the time wisely, and commitment to see it through despite pressure to resume features. This level of intervention is rare and shouldn't be frequent, but it shows what's possible when leadership truly prioritizes tech debt. More commonly, leaders should express product lifecycle constraints (startup urgency vs. mature product stability), give teams autonomy to find appropriate projects within those constraints, and require accountability through visible metrics and dashboards that show progress. The Rewrite Trap: Why Big Rewrites Usually Fail "A system that took 10 years to write has implicit knowledge that can't be replicated in 6 months. I'm mostly gonna advocate for piecemeal migrations along the way, reducing the size of the problem over time." — Lou Franco Lou lived through Trello's iOS navigation rewrite — a classic example of throwing away working code to start fresh, only to discover all the edge cases, implicit behaviors, and user expectations baked into the "old" system. A codebase that evolved over several years contains implicit knowledge — user workflows, edge case handling, performance optimizations, and subtle behaviors that users rely on even if they never explicitly requested them. Attempting to rewrite this in six months inevitably misses critical details. Lou strongly advocates for piecemeal migrations instead. The Trello "Decaffeinate Project" exemplifies this approach — migrating from CoffeeScript to TypeScript incrementally, with public dashboards showing the percentage remaining, interoperable technologies allowing gradual transition, and the ability to pause or reverse if needed. Keep both systems running in parallel during migrations. Use runtime observability to verify new code behaves identically to old code. Reduce the problem size steadily over months rather than attempting big-bang replacements. The only exception: sometimes keeping parallel systems requires scaffolding that creates its own complexity, so evaluate whether piecemeal migration is actually simpler or if you're better off living with the current system. Making Tech Debt Visible Through Dashboards "Put up a dashboard, showing it happen. Make invisible internal improvements visible through metrics engineering leadership understands." — Lou Franco One of tech debt's biggest challenges is invisibility — non-technical stakeholders can't see the improvement from refactoring or test coverage. Lou learned to make tech debt work visible through dashboards and metrics. The Decaffeinate Project tracked percentage of CoffeeScript files remaining, providing a clear progress indicator anyone could understand. When reducing sync errors, Lou created dashboards showing error rates declining over time. These visualizations serve multiple purposes: they demonstrate value to leadership, create accountability for engineering teams, build momentum as progress becomes visible, and help teams celebrate wins that would otherwise go unnoticed. The key is choosing metrics that matter to the business — error rates, page load times, deployment frequency, mean time to recovery — rather than pure code quality metrics like cyclomatic complexity that don't translate outside engineering. Connect tech debt work to customer experience, reliability, or developer productivity in ways leadership can see and value. Onboarding as a Tech Debt Opportunity "Unit testing is a really great way to learn a system. It's like an executable specification that's helping you prove that you understand the system." — Lou Franco Lou identifies onboarding as an underutilized opportunity for tech debt reduction. When new engineers join, they need to learn the codebase. Rather than just reading code or shadowing, Lou suggests having them write unit tests in areas they're learning. This serves dual purposes: tests are executable specifications that prove understanding of system behavior, and they create safety nets in areas that likely lack coverage (otherwise, why would new engineers be confused by the code?). The new engineer gets hands-on learning, the team gets better test coverage, and everyone wins. This practice also surfaces confusing code — if new engineers struggle to understand what to test, that's a signal the code needs clarifying comments, better naming, or refactoring. Make onboarding a systematic tech debt reduction opportunity rather than passive knowledge transfer. Leadership's Role: Constraints, Autonomy, and Accountability "Leadership needs to express the constraints. Tell the team what you're feeling about tech debt at a high level, and what you think generally is the appropriate amount of time to be spent on it. Then give them autonomy." — Lou Franco Lou distills leadership's role in tech debt management to three elements. First, express constraints — communicate where you believe the product is in its lifecycle (early startup, rapid growth, mature cash cow) and what that means for tech debt tolerance. Are we pursuing product-market fit where code might be thrown away? Are we scaling a proven product where reliability matters? Are we maintaining a stable system where operational efficiency pays dividends? These constraints help teams make appropriate trade-offs. Second, give autonomy — once constraints are clear, trust teams to identify specific tech debt projects that fit those constraints. Engineers understand the codebase's pain points better than leaders do. Third, require accountability — teams must make their work visible through dashboards, metrics, and regular updates. Autonomy without accountability becomes invisible engineering projects that might not deliver value. Accountability without autonomy becomes micromanagement that wastes engineering judgment. The balance creates space for teams to make smart decisions while keeping leadership informed and confident in the investment. AI and the Future of Tech Debt "I really do AI-assisted software engineering. And by that, I mean I 100% review every single line of that code. I write the tests, and all the code is as I would have written it, it's just a lot faster. Developers are still responsible for it. Read the code." — Lou Franco Lou has a chapter about AI in his book, addressing the elephant in the room: will AI-generated code create massive tech debt? His answer is nuanced. AI can accelerate development tremendously if used correctly — Lou uses it extensively but reviews every single line, writes all tests himself, and ensures the code matches what he would have written manually. The problem emerges with "vibe coders" — non-developers using AI to generate code they don't understand, creating unmaintainable messes that become someone else's problem. Developers remain responsible for all code, regardless of how it's generated. This means you must read and understand AI-generated code, not blindly accept it. Lou also raises supply chain security concerns — dependencies can contain malicious code, and AI might introduce vulnerabilities developers miss. His recommendation: stay six months behind on dependency updates, let others discover the problems first, and consider separate sandboxed development machines to limit security exposure. AI is a powerful tool, but it doesn't eliminate the need for engineering judgment, testing discipline, or code review practices. The Style Guide Beyond Formatting "Have a style guide that goes beyond formatting to include target architecture. This is the kind of code we want to write going forward." — Lou Franco Lou advocates for style guides that extend beyond tabs-versus-spaces formatting rules to include architectural guidance. Document patterns you want to move toward: how should components be structured, what state management approaches do we prefer, how should we handle errors, what testing patterns should we follow? This creates a shared understanding of the target architecture without requiring a massive design document. When reviewing pull requests, teams can reference the style guide to explain why certain approaches align with where the codebase is headed versus perpetuating old patterns. This makes tech debt conversations less personal and more objective — it's not about criticizing someone's code, it's about aligning with team standards and strategic direction. The style guide becomes a living document that evolves as the team learns and technology changes, capturing collective wisdom about what good code looks like in your specific context.

Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel
SHOW 11-13-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT BUNDESTAG COHESION AND STABILITY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 1/2 Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, noting the new Russian unit RubiKon hunting drone operators and the slow Russian advance on Pakovsk, aided by both innovation and old factors like fog. The conversation also covers Germany's military rearmament plans and the significant, rising influence of the populist right AFD party in German politics, which is strongly anti-immigrant and largely anti-rearmament. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1/2 915-930 2/2 Anatol Lieven details UK Prime Minister Starmer's genuine political troubles concerning domestic policy drift and significant potential losses in upcoming regional elections. Starmer maintains prestige supporting Ukraine, though funding remains a question. A back channel to Moscow has been opened by Jonathan Powell to discuss peace, dropping the prior insistence on a ceasefire, indicating a shift in London. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 2/2 930-945 Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 |
