Podcasts about Serbia

In episode 256 of Talk Eastern Europe, hosts Adam,Alexander and Nina mark the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine with a heavy week of reflections – as well as some other news from the region. They discuss ongoing protest movements across the Balkans (includingfresh demonstrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina following a deadly tram derailment), tensions in Serbia, and what these cycles of civic anger say about corruption and accountability.The episode then features an interview with Nedim Useinow - a Crimean Tatar originally from Crimea and now a program manager with the German Marshall Fund. Adam and Nedim discuss where the war stands after four years, why current “peace talks” feel hollow, what occupation has meant for Crimea and Crimean Tatars, and how Ukrainians' resilience has shifted from shock to long-term adaptation. The conversation also touches on Poland's evolving public mood, disinformation, and why continued support for Ukraine still matters for European security.Read online: “Tortured into confession.

La banda regiomontana Serbia tocando Desde Diablopolis… Chismecito Tlacuachero… tocando en vivo…. Déjanos tiesos en El Tlacuache Tenebrudo… Todo sobre autos con Franky Mostro en “El Tlacoche”…. Háblanos y dinos donde está la mejor garnacha en “El Huitlacuache”

Broadcast from Serbia, this episode dives into the Balkans, the most misunderstood, most underestimated corner of Europe, and one with the biggest upside if it can ever stop tripping over its own history. We look at why Serbia sits so close to Russia, why Kosovo still blocks the country's European future, and how war, sanctions, hyperinflation, and decades of bad leadership turned a natural crossroads into an economic cul-de-sac. A new generation is pushing back against corruption and state capture, and culture may be moving faster than politics, from packed derby stadiums in Belgrade to a runaway rom-com hit about a Croat-Serb wedding that's quietly rewriting the story. If the Balkans can turn rivalry into cooperation, it could become one of Europe's great comeback economies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For the Ottoman empire the French Revolution to Waterloo have a definte arc, and it isn't pretty, and there is some coverage up to the Crimean War.The start of the Revolution coincides with the Rule of Selim 3rd in 1789.  And he was a reformer as was his father, he was raised to appreciate the West.  The end of this period will see the 2nd Serbian Revolution, which will end with limited autonomy for Serbia, and the subsequent  political fragmentation of the Ottoman empire.  The Ottoman empire is not a state like any other in Europe.  It's not merely that it is ruled by Moslems.  It is also has a traditional culture.  Traditional in this case can be heard as code for backward.  And it is true the Ottoman Empire was far from the Technological frontier.  And the institutional frontier. It surprising because like many traditional societies it had been at or near the frontier in the past.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic. Despite getting sidetracked for a bit on today’s episode, below you’ll find my extensive coverage of last night’s SOTU, including a timestamped breakdown of my live observations while watching.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

Viajamos entre Madagascar, La Reunión, Grecia, Serbia y también con encuentros entre músicos persas, burkineses, franceses y canadienses.

Jerman, Swedia, Slowakia, dan Serbia mengimbau warganya untuk segera meninggalkan Iran menyusul meningkatnya ketegangan di wilayah tersebut. Imbauan ini muncul seiring berlanjutnya perundingan nuklir antara Amerika Serikat dan Iran, serta pernyataan Presiden AS Donald Trump yang menyebut kemungkinan opsi serangan militer terbatas terhadap Iran. Kedutaan Besar Jerman di Teheran memperbarui peringatan keamanan, menyoroti situasi sangat tidak stabil, potensi eskalasi militer, dan kemungkinan penutupan ruang udara. Pemerintah Swedia menetapkan peringatan perjalanan tertinggi, sementara Slowakia dan Serbia juga meminta warganya keluar segera dan menunda seluruh rencana perjalanan ke Iran.

In this episode of #EuropeanTalks we are talking to Jeta Xharra, Country Director for Kosovo and Editor-in-Chief at BIRN., We examine the state of the Serbia–Kosovo dialogue following the 2023 Agreement and its limited implementation. From symbolic breakthroughs to stalled commitments, the discussion explores what has (and hasn't) changed on the ground — including license plates, energy, and mutual recognition. The conversation also tackles nationalism, regional security concerns, the role of the EU and the U.S., and whether genuine normalization is possible in today's political climate.

Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

0:00 - You know how much Sean Payton loves the hypotheticals! Riley Moss' name keeps popping up in all these hypothetical trades involving the Broncos. Do we really want to get rid of him that badly? Why is everyone so eager to ship him out of town?16:09 - As we get deeper into Olympic hockey, are you rooting for the USA Men's team or Canada? You'd root for USA for obvious reasons (shoutout 'Merica), but so many Avs players are on team Canada? How is this situation any different from USA men's basketball vs Serbia in the 2024 Summer Olympics? 31:33 - Oh, by the way...Happy 31st Birthday, Nikola Jokic! How much longer will he dominate the NBA? How mnay more years does he have left? Oh, by the way...did you see the Chicago Bears are most likely building their new stadium in Indiana?

A lot of new faces for Serbia's national team going forward, or so I expect. Will the younger, less experienced players finally get their time to shine? I think the answer is "yes"#Sports #Sport #SportsPodcast #SportPodcast #Football #FootballPodcast #SoccerPodcast #Serbia #DusanVlahovic #AleksandarStankovic #VasilijeKostov

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: From Slopes to Heartstrings: A Ski Tale of Rediscovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2026-02-18-08-38-20-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Копаоник је био покривен белим плаштом снега, рој скијаша клизио је низ падине, док су вековна стабла борова штитила планину.En: Kopaonik was covered with a white blanket of snow, a swarm of skiers glided down the slopes, while century-old pine trees protected the mountain.Sr: Светлана је стајала на врху почетничке стазе, чудећи се овом спокојству и лепоти.En: Svetlana stood at the top of the beginner's slope, marveling at this tranquility and beauty.Sr: Недавно се вратила у Србију после много година студирања у иностранству и желела је да поново открије живот који је оставила иза себе.En: She had recently returned to Serbiju after many years of studying abroad and wanted to rediscover the life she had left behind.Sr: Долази Марко, локални инструктор скијања, са широким осмехом.En: Marko, a local ski instructor, approached with a broad smile.Sr: Његово самопоуздање и страст према природи су очигледни.En: His confidence and passion for nature were evident.Sr: "Здраво, Светлана! Спремна за данас?" питао је весело.En: "Hello, Svetlana! Ready for today?" he asked cheerfully.Sr: Светлана се осмехнула нервозно.En: Svetlana smiled nervously.Sr: "Имам помешана осећања, бојим се да не паднем."En: "I have mixed feelings, I'm afraid I might fall."Sr: Марко је климнуо, разумео је.En: Marko nodded, he understood.Sr: "Сви смо ми једном почели као почетници. Покушајмо полако, урадићемо то заједно."En: "We all once started as beginners. Let's try slowly; we'll do this together."Sr: Склон радио, хладни ваздух и топлота сунца помогли су Светлани да се опусти.En: The sound of the radio, the cold air, and the warmth of the sun helped Svetlana to relax.Sr: Марко је био стрпљив, показивао јој је како да одржи равнотежу и савлада технику савијања.En: Marko was patient, showing her how to maintain balance and master the technique of bending.Sr: Временом, на њено изненађење, Светлана је почела боље да се осећа.En: Over time, to her surprise, Svetlana started to feel better.Sr: Једног дана, Марко ју је позвао да проба мало изазовнију падину.En: One day, Marko invited her to try a slightly more challenging slope.Sr: "Можеш ти то, Светлана," рекао је охрабрујуће.En: "You can do it, Svetlana," he said encouragingly.Sr: Светлана је била уплашена али и радознала.En: Svetlana was scared but also curious.Sr: Одлучила је да се ослони на Маркову стручност и охрабрење.En: She decided to rely on Marko's expertise and encouragement.Sr: Док су се спустили са веће висине, Светлана је осетила како страх попушта.En: As they descended from the higher altitude, Svetlana felt her fear subside.Sr: Почела је да верује у себе и у Маркове савете.En: She began to trust in herself and in Marko's advice.Sr: Када је коначно стигла до дна стазе без падања, осетила је огромно олакшање и понос на себе.En: When she finally reached the bottom of the slope without falling, she felt immense relief and pride in herself.Sr: "Успела си!" узвикнуо је Марко, пружајући јој високи петак.En: "You did it!" exclaimed Marko, offering her a high five.Sr: Светлана се смејала, осећај њене новооткривене самопоузданости био је неописив.En: Svetlana laughed, the feeling of her newfound confidence was indescribable.Sr: Касније те вечери, док је сунце залазило изнад планине Копаоник, Светлана и Марко су стајали гледајући српски пејзаж пред собом.En: Later that evening, as the sun set over the Kopaonik mountain, Svetlana and Marko stood gazing at the Serbian landscape before them.Sr: У тишини и лепоти тог тренутка, Светлана је схватила да није само савладала уметност скијања, већ је отворила своје срце новим могућностима... и Марку.En: In the silence and beauty of that moment, Svetlana realized that she had not only mastered the art of skiing but had also opened her heart to new possibilities... and to Marko.Sr: Њихови погледи сусрели су се, осмех на уснама говорио је више од речи.En: Their eyes met, and the smiles on their faces spoke more than words.Sr: Тако је Светлана, са новооткривеним самопоуздањем, осетила да је ово био управо почетак нечег посебног, и у животу и у срцу.En: Thus, Svetlana, with her newfound confidence, felt that this was just the beginning of something special, both in her life and in her heart.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Unveiling Kalemegdan: The Secret Beneath Serbia's Snow Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2026-02-17-23-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Кроз снегом покривени Калемегдан ишао је мален тим од троје људи.En: Through the snow-covered Kalemegdan, a small team of three people walked.Sr: Весна, историчарка пуног срца, Марко, њен колега с мало страсти али истим циљем, и Славко, чувар парка с боговима мислима.En: Vesna, a historian full of heart, Marko, her colleague with little passion but the same goal, and Slavko, a park guard with godlike thoughts.Sr: Сециран пејзаж Београдске тврђаве цртао је слику спокоја, али испод површине крио се пећински лавиринт мистерије.En: The dissected landscape of the Belgrade Fortress painted a picture of tranquility, but beneath the surface lay a cavernous labyrinth of mystery.Sr: Веснино срце куцало је јаче него иначе.En: Vesna's heart was beating harder than usual.Sr: Осећала је да су на прагу великог открића.En: She felt they were on the verge of a great discovery.Sr: Гласине су шапутале о давно изгубљеном артефакту који би могао променити ток историје Србије.En: Rumors whispered about a long-lost artifact that could change the course of Serbia's history.Sr: Весна је желела да докаже снагу своје стручности, не само свом ментору већ и самом себи.En: Vesna wanted to prove the strength of her expertise, not only to her mentor but also to herself.Sr: "Морамо брзо радити," рекао је Марко, горд на идеју славе која их чека.En: "We must work quickly," said Marko, proud of the idea of the fame that awaited them.Sr: Док је његов поглед пролазио преко снегом прекривеног пејзажа, мислио је како би његово име могло постати део великог историјског записа.En: As his gaze passed over the snow-covered landscape, he thought about how his name might become part of a great historical record.Sr: Али, Весна није осећала исту жудњу за славом.En: But Vesna did not feel the same yearning for fame.Sr: Њена је страст била дубља.En: Her passion was deeper.Sr: Славко, човек из сена са својим тајнама, водио је својим познанством са парком.En: Slavko, a man of shadows with his own secrets, led them with his knowledge of the park.Sr: „Постоје стари тунели овде,“ промрмљао је као да говори самом себи.En: "There are old tunnels here," he murmured as if speaking to himself.Sr: Желудац му се стезао са сваким кораком, јер је знао да је овај артефакт могао донети мир његовој рањеној души.En: His stomach tightened with each step because he knew that this artifact could bring peace to his wounded soul.Sr: Док је олуја почела да завија, тројац је открио стару капију, једва приметну испод снега.En: As the storm began to howl, the trio discovered an old gate, barely noticeable under the snow.Sr: Весна је чучнула и погледала је боље.En: Vesna crouched down and looked more closely.Sr: Једва видљиви петроглифи наговештавали су пут напред.En: Barely visible petroglyphs hinted at the path ahead.Sr: Снег је био све гушћи, али Веснина решеност је била непоколебљива.En: The snow was getting thicker, but Vesna's resolve was unyielding.Sr: Уз помоћ Славкових упутстава и Маркове непрестане жеље за открићем, коначно су пронашли просторију где је артефакт лежао скривен.En: With the help of Slavko's guidance and Marko's relentless desire for discovery, they finally found the chamber where the artifact lay hidden.Sr: Била је то прелепа стара реликвија, више симбол мира него моћи.En: It was a beautiful old relic, more a symbol of peace than power.Sr: Тамо, Весна је схватила да је права моћ у знању и сарадњи.En: There, Vesna realized that true power lies in knowledge and collaboration.Sr: У хладној, али мирној просторији, Марко је одахнуо, а Славко је с осмехом прихватио ново поглавље.En: In the cold but peaceful room, Marko sighed with relief, and Slavko embraced the new chapter with a smile.Sr: Изложен снегу и ветру, Весна је коначно осетила сигурност и испуњење.En: Exposed to snow and wind, Vesna finally felt security and fulfillment.Sr: Немања га је однела у познати и пријатељски загрљај. Тиме су оставили део историје за будуће генерације и нова открића.En: They took it in a familiar and friendly embrace, leaving a part of history for future generations and new discoveries.Sr: Јер, као што је Весна научила, тајне су скривене да би их, с временом, открили они са чистим срцем и чврстим одлучивањем.En: For, as Vesna learned, secrets are hidden to be uncovered over time by those with pure hearts and firm determination.Sr: Весна се вратила, сигурна у своје способности, спремна да воли сваки делић историје који открије њеним путовањима.En: Vesna returned, confident in her abilities, ready to love every piece of history she uncovers in her journeys.Sr: Снег је падао све тише док су се враћали у стварност, али артефакт са својим мистеријама остао је као сећање на дан који је променио све.En: The snow was falling ever more quietly as they returned to reality, but the artifact, with its mysteries, remained as a memory of a day that changed everything.

Bill Powers interviews Lara Exploration President and CEO Simon Ingram, highlighting Ingram's prior success leading Reservoir Minerals from $0.65 to $9.40 per share and creating roughly US$500 million in shareholder value at the time of the buyout by Nevsun Resources. Ingram recounts Reservoir's Serbia discovery—described as the world's 13th largest copper discovery since 1990—and notes the resulting mine now generates about 2% of Serbia's GDP. Lara Exploration is applying the same model and team while transitioning from prospect generator to developer through its 100%-owned flagship Planalto copper-gold project in Brazil. The 2025 PEA outlines an open-pit project producing about 36,000 tonnes of copper per year and processing about 8 million tonnes of ore, with estimated capex around $550 million. Using a $13,000/ton copper price, Ingram says the project value is about $1.2 billion at today's spot prices. The discussion covers Lara's valuation gap versus its market cap (~US$100–110 million), plans to de-risk via infill drilling and advancing to pre-feasibility, and exploration upside. Ingram emphasizes Brazil's infrastructure and permitting advantages in its operating region, including nearby major mines, access to low-cost power lines crossing the project, proximity to highways, a skilled mining workforce, and a government royalty structure where a significant portion returns to local municipalities. Powers and Ingram also discuss capital efficiency and shareholder alignment: ~50 million shares outstanding (about 53 million fully diluted), no warrants, ~2.7 million incentive options, management owning ~20%, and G&A under about C$1 million. 00:00 From 65¢ to $9.40: Reservoir Minerals' Serbian success story 01:29 Prospect Generator 101: Partnering to reduce exploration risk 03:32 Lara Exploration's flagship Planalto project Brazil: PEA, scale, and copper price leverage 06:00 De-risking plan: Pre-feasibility, infill drilling, and high-grade upside 06:41 Return on capital & timing the copper cycle (why now matters) 08:18 Jurisdiction & infrastructure: Why this Brazil project can get built 09:05 Portfolio, royalties, and capital discipline (50M shares, no rollbacks) 12:55 Team edge: Technical background, copper scarcity, and demand drivers 14:40 How the project stacks up: peers, capex, metallurgy, and simple processing 25:29 PEA rigor: Cost levers, power pricing, and engineering due diligence 28:24 Near-term catalysts & funding options: New license drilling and next steps 31:55 Wrap-up, tickers, and final podcast disclaimer https://laraexploration.com/ TSXV:LRA -- OTC:LRAXF Sponsor Lara Exploration pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

Kevin Lewis and Oliver Trevena are the director and producer duo behind Misdirection, a contained neo noir thriller with Frank Grillo that builds a surprisingly big world inside a single location. Misdirection follows a couple driven to carry out a series of high-end heists to pay off a dangerous mob debt. When their latest break-in spirals out of control, the pair find themselves caught in a web of secrets, deception, and deadly consequences. Misdirection is now available on Digital from Cineverse. Shot in Serbia over fifteen nights on a small budget, the film is a case study in fast prep, actor focused directing, and the kind of persistence it takes to pull an indie feature across the finish line.Here, without further ado, are Kevin Lewis and Oliver Trevena.Key TakeawaysRelentlessness is a producing skill, not a personality trait. Misdirection went through consistent bouts of turbulence. Funding gaps, broken promises, Murphy's Law persisted all the way up to roughly five days before shooting. Oliver was told by multiple people to forget about the project and let it go, but he didn't. The takeaway is that persistence isn't just motivational jargon, it's a core production competency. If the producer stops pushing, the movie collapses. Misdirection took years to get off the ground, and the film only exists because Oliver and Kevin refused to let it die. Many people think movies are bought and sold based on the market itself, but that's not always the case. Sometimes beating a movie into production through sheer will and force is the only path forward.Speed unlocks instinct. Shooting in fifteen nights removed hesitation. With no time to overthink, decisions became intuitive and committed. That urgency created momentum and helped performances and directorial choices feel alive rather than labored. It's always ideal to have more time, but there's creativity in limitations, and some casts and crews work better under pressure.Prep is freedom: obsess early so you can adapt fast later. Thrillers demand airtight logic. Kevin mapped character movement, information reveals, and physical continuity in advance so nothing unraveled under pressure. Thorough prep made the fast pace possible. Kevin calls himself a “big prepper”—months of notes, multiple contingency plans (A/B/C/D), then recalibrating once they were on set. He also describes basically hermitting in his hotel room instead of socializing because every hour on set equals money. The lesson isn't to “be rigid”—it's the opposite: deep prep lets you pivot without breaking story logic when the location or constraints change. As Churchill said, plans can be useless but the act of planning can be priceless.Show NotesMovies and Projects MentionedMisdirectionParadox EffectJohn WickWick Is Pain (John Wick documentary)Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?DriveWerewolvesFollow Kevin Lewis at:IMBd: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507425/

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

Today's episode cuts straight through the noise to examine allegations of deep-rooted corruption in Colorado's judiciary and beyond, centered on claims raised by Christopher Gregory and lawsuits involving figures like David Beller. We explore how power operating behind closed doors has led to real consequences for people who didn't deserve it, while trust in institutions continues to erode. This isn't about hopium or headlines; it's about confronting uncomfortable questions around accountability, immunity, and who actually represents the people.Joining the show is Ann Vandersteel, bringing firsthand insight into the pressure points shaping the national conversation from the appetite (or lack thereof) for confronting corruption, to the complex web of relationships in politics, media, and influence networks. We unpack testimony, whistleblower claims, and the broader geopolitical narratives being invoked from Venezuela and Serbia to the World Economic Forum while separating verifiable facts from speculation and fear-driven rhetoric. The goal: clarity over chaos.We also take a hard look at President Trump's inner circle and the concern that some around him may be working against his stated agenda, modern-day Brutus and Judas moments that complicate leadership in a hostile environment. From national debt myths to factional splits (MAGA vs. MIGA), from broken systems to the resolve to fight rather than fold, this episode argues that the voice of the American people is the hill worth defending no matter how messy the fight gets.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick delves into the cataclysmic events of 1912-1913 that shattered the Ottoman Empire and set the stage for the First World War.Following the humiliating loss of Libya to Italy, the Balkan states—Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, and Bulgaria—sensed weakness and struck. We explore how this coalition of former subjects mobilized a massive army of over 700,000 men to drive the Ottomans out of Europe.Drawing on Eugene Rogan's The Fall of the Ottomans, Nick examines the internal chaos of the empire, from the violent coup led by Enver Pasha at the Sublime Porte to the desperate siege of Edirne. Why did the "Sick Man of Europe" fight so poorly in the Balkans but so fiercely later at Gallipoli? And how did the loss of its European heartland radicalize the Young Turk regime?Plus: Important announcements about our upcoming live masterclasses for history students in February, March, and April!Key Topics:The First Balkan War: How a coalition of small states defeated an empire.The Raid on the Sublime Porte: Enver Pasha's violent seizure of power.The Loss of Europe: The economic and psychological blow of losing Macedonia, Albania, and Thrace.Schrödinger's Empire: The paradox of Ottoman weakness in 1912 vs. resilience in 1915.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Turning Trauma into Power with Lurata Lyon, Co-Author of a new book titled The Strength of Resilience In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Dr. Gregory Williams interviews Lurata Lyon, author of Unbroken: Surviving Human Trafficking. The conversation explores Lurata's harrowing survival of kidnapping and organ harvesting gangs, her journey of self-healing through writing and fitness, and the profound realization that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but about choosing love over bitterness. Detailed Summary The Philosophy of Brokenness and Resilience Dr. Williams opens with a medical analogy regarding broken bones, noting that during the healing process, a callous forms that temporarily makes the broken site stronger than it was before. This sets the stage for a discussion on trauma. Lurata reflects that despite the horrors she endured, she would not change her past because it forged her current identity. She emphasizes that healing requires a conscious choice to reject the path of self-destruction and instead embrace love, stating she has become "walking love" to ensure the cycle of hate stops with her. Writing as a Mechanism for Healing Lurata shares the origin story of her book, Unbroken. Inspired by the character Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, she began typing her traumatic memories on a laptop simply to mimic the character's routine of "closing the day." This exercise unexpectedly acted as therapy; by externalizing her memories onto a screen, she gained a new perspective—viewing her life as a reader rather than a victim. This process significantly reduced her nightmares and eventually formed the skeleton of her published memoir. Reality of Human Trafficking Lurata details her specific traumatic experiences, including being kidnapped by an organ harvesting gang in Kosovo and later held in solitary confinement for six months by soldiers in Serbia. She describes human trafficking as a "pandemic" and the biggest business in the world, surpassing the drug trade. The conversation touches on modern recruitment tactics, such as bribing parents in war zones (like Ukraine) or luring people with false promises of work, only to strip them of their passports and force them into begging, prostitution, or organ harvesting. Regaining Trust and Taming the "Monster" Recovery for Lurata involved relearning how to trust, starting with her uncle and eventually moving into the fitness industry. She became a successful personal trainer in London by focusing on making clients "feel good" rather than just losing weight. A significant part of her mental recovery was "taming the monster"—the internal rage and defensive aggression she developed to survive. Through mentorship and self-forgiveness, she learned to control her reactions to daily stressors, using breathwork to prevent small problems from triggering survival-mode panic. Future Endeavors Lurata is currently co-authoring a new book titled The Strength of Resilience with an athlete named Fatima, expected to launch in mid-2024. She is also expanding her work into the digital space with online courses on public speaking and mental fitness, and has established a mental health retreat in Marbella, Spain, focusing on hiking, breathwork, and healing. Trauma does not have to define one's future. As Lurata Lyon demonstrates, even the darkest experiences—such as human trafficking and captivity—can be transformed into a source of immense power and purpose. By choosing forgiveness, controlling one's internal narrative, and breaking the silence, victims can transition from surviving to thriving.

On this episode of the Below the Radar B-Sides, we're joined by Ivana Filipovich, a Serbian-Canadian artist with a background in educational media, architecture, archaeology and design. We discuss her journey as an artist and her first graphic novel ‘What's Fear Got To Do With It?'

After a 20-year hiatus, during which she worked in educational media and communications at a Canadian university, she returned to cartooning. In the last few years, her comics were published in Sweden, Slovenia, and Serbia and were exhibited at the French Institute (L'Institut français) galleries in Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, and at the NOVA comic arts festival in Serbia. Deeply interested in psychology, her work aims predominantly to portray complex female characters and other underrepresented persons and groups. Mainly focused on slice-of-life stories, she occasionally ventures into other genres. Stylistically close to French and Italian cartooning, she uses both traditional and digital tools. Most recently, the Canada Council for the Arts has supported her exploration of 3D storyboarding.

The Paveway bomb, invented by Texas Instruments in the 1970s, was the first truly precise munition.  It revolutionized America's air campaign in Vietnam and allowed whole new kinds of “limited” U.S. wars in Libya, Iraq, Serbia, and beyond.But Paveway's true legacy was psychological: it seduced generations of U.S. leaders into believing that tactical precision creates strategic victories with few costs.Jeff Stern, an intrepid chronicler of modern conflict, tells this story in his new book The Warhead: The Quest to Build the Perfect Weapon in the Age of Modern Warfare.  He joins Jon Bateman on The World Unpacked to explore the past, present, and future of precision warfare.

Thomass Jackson has built a sound through bands, traditional instruments and massive raves held in Buenos Aires. From releases born in friends' studios, world tours as a bassist for Capri on Gigolo Records, and a steady run of releases on Gomma, Correspondant, Multi Culti and La Dame Noir – Thomass clearly knows what he's doing. By the late 2000s his sound blended to more psychedelic and percussive rhythms, which developed into playing across countries that include China, Lithuania, Serbia, Bolivia, Mexico and Germany to name a few - along with sharing booths with the likes of Manfredas, Jennifer Cardini, Tiger & Woods, In Flagranti, Blond:ish, Horse Meat Disco and Mike Simonetti. Based in Mexico City, Thomass Jackson delivers  a mix that contains bass-first selections, weird corners and slow hypnosis into full-body motion. Music that doesn't chase drops and trusts the listener to stay. For The Ransom Note Mix, it felt right to hand him the controls.

New court filings in Coomer v. Byrne are raising serious questions after years of denials. Patrick Byrne revealed to Emerald Robinson that the filings now acknowledge Eric Coomer had contact with foreign nationals regarding Dominion voting system source code—including overseas contacts and foreigners working in Denver offices. Byrne says this directly contradicts long-standing public claims that Dominion's software was strictly American and tightly controlled, noting that election code is supposed to be handled only by fully cleared personnel. At the same time, Coomer is reportedly asking the court to bar questions about Venezuela, Serbia, and China, even as these foreign contacts are now on the record. The judge has not yet ruled, and the case is rapidly developing.
