The aerial bombardment that rained down on the Spanish city of Guernica in 1937 was one of the most shocking atrocities of the Spanish Civil War. Dan and David Brydan - historian of Modern Spain at King's College London - explain why this Basque town was targeted, how the attack unfolded and what it meant for civilians on the ground. They explore the political motives behind the raid as well as its enduring impact on Europe and trace how Guernica became a symbol of the horrors of modern warfare.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

What if spirits had been trying to reach you your entire life?"I saw things no one else could see. I talked to them, too. At first, I thought it was normal—until I realized no one else could hear them."For as long as she can remember, Jackie Kenner has lived between two worlds. In Parked By the Exit, this psychic medium lifts the veil, sharing firsthand encounters with Spirit, multidimensional beings, and the unseen forces that shaped her path.What began as whispers and visions in childhood led to the awakening of her mediumship abilities, the discovery of soul memories, and undeniable proof that reality is far more expansive than most people realize.But awakening comes at a cost. What happens when you know things others don't? When the world tells you to doubt yourself? When your gifts challenge everything you've been taught about life and death?With raw honesty and an unfiltered, direct style, Kenner explores the family disapproval, societal skepticism, and personal struggles that come with embracing a calling most refuse to understand.This is more than a memoir—it's a mirror for those awakening to their own intuitive abilities. If you've ever wondered whether your visions, dreams, or gut feelings mean something more, this book is for you.Inside, you'll explore:Firsthand accounts of spirit communication, ghosts, and multidimensional encountersThe truth about mediumship—what it really feels like to open up to SpiritThe emotional and social cost of psychic awakening—and why it's worth itPast lives, spirit guides, soul memories, and what they reveal about the afterlifeFor readers of:Dr. Michael Newton, Robert Monroe, Dolores Cannon, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Henry, Suzanne Giesemann, Laura Lynne Jackson, Sonia Choquette, Brian Weiss, and anyone fascinated by mediumship, the afterlife, reincarnation, spiritual awakening, and the unseen world.BioJackie Kenner is an established Psychic Medium and Spiritual Business Consultant in Dallas.

This week, Jannese is joined by Victor Zeledón (@ourjourneywithless) a husband, dad, and Airbnb mentor who proves you don't need six figures, a trust fund, or a fancy investing background to build wealth through real estate.Victor started with what most of us already have: a home, two extra rooms, and a need to build an emergency fund. Fast forward seven years and those two rooms turned into five cash-flowing rentals, a fully retired wife, homes in multiple states, and a roadmap to financial freedom.This convo is packed with gems, game-changing strategies, and the kind of transparency that our comunidad NEEDS to hear — because real estate is not “just for other people.” It's for us, too.What We Get Into04:30 — Who's actually renting rooms on Airbnb? (It's not who you think!)05:50 — How they scaled from 1 room to 5 properties.06:40 — The real talk on hosting strangers: Safety, locks, boundaries, and vibes.08:15 — Airbnb vs. traditional renting: Why Airbnb was the wealth-building accelerator.09:20 — The Airbnb landscape in 2025: Regulations, fees, and why boring listings get no love.13:00 — Wild host lessons: What every new host should prepare for (yes, including tias who leave surprises).14:30 — Emergency funds + financial safety nets: How to protect your pockets.16:20 — Is Airbnb still worth it today? Victor breaks it down.17:30 — Why they bought in Waco & Tulsa: Out-of-state investing made simple.19:10 — How they bought a house in Tulsa with $0 out-of-pocket.20:40 — How to manage rentals remotely without losing your mind.24:00 — The family vision: From paying off debt → replacing his wife's income → full financial freedom.26:00 — How Victor mentors new Airbnb hosts for FREE through the Airbnb Ambassador Program.Top TakeawaysStart where you are.

In this special Season 3 recap, Heather and Kent McKean sit down to reflect on the episodes, guests, and themes that most deeply impacted listeners this year. They revisit standout conversations with therapist Carrie, veteran Matt, and client Molly, highlighting the profound shifts Mind Change has brought to issues like PTSD, long-term counseling burnout, and identity-level transformation. Heather and Kent also share how they tackled “big” topics—anxiety, ADHD, menopause, narcissism, autism, chronic pain, intimacy, and masculine/feminine dynamics—through the lens of emotional drivers and real-world healing. They celebrate major milestones in the Mind Change world, including the Spanish release of Heather's book, a growing global audience, and the launch of their new community platform. Finally, they offer a heartfelt thank you to you and to everyone who has been listening, and they pull back the curtain on what's ahead in 2026: retreats, workshops, a new book on femininity, and fresh ways to work with them more closely.Episode topics:

Priscilla Ward joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how true healing happens not through fixing or rescuing, but by learning to sit in discomfort, lead with curiosity, and create consistent communities where survivors can feel safe enough to begin their journey at their own pace. https://youtube.com/shorts/Jsi6YO3zobw?feature=share   Priscilla Ward Priscilla Ward, LCSW, is the Founder and Clinical Director of Compass Rose Psychotherapy in Fullerton, California. With over 18 years in the helping profession and 15 years of clinical experience, she has dedicated her career to supporting youth, young adults, and families through trauma, anxiety, substance use, and grief. A graduate of the University of Southern California with a Master's in Social Work, Priscilla brings extensive experience from nonprofit agencies, community mental health clinics, correctional facilities, and school-based programs. She has led mental health teams for the Orange County Department of Education, developing trauma-responsive programs and training professionals in high-stress environments. Her bilingual Spanish fluency and cultural responsiveness make her a trusted ally across diverse communities. Beyond direct practice, Priscilla serves as a consultant and trainer, equipping educators, faith leaders, law enforcement personnel, and mental health professionals with trauma-informed, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing frameworks. Key Points People heal in community and relationship, not in isolation, and this healing process is rarely linear—it's complex and messy, especially for those who have experienced trauma. The shift from "what's wrong with this person" to "what happened to this person" is foundational to trauma-informed care and creates space for dignity and compassion over judgment. Harm reduction is a philosophy grounded in meeting people where they are, honoring their dignity even when they aren't ready to stop certain behaviors, and recognizing that small steps matter because keeping people alive and safe creates opportunities for future healing. Faith communities can love people well by learning to sit in discomfort and resist the urge to fix or rescue, instead focusing on building belonging without requiring behavioral compliance as a prerequisite. Understanding the stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and sometimes relapse) helps helpers meet survivors appropriately at each stage rather than imposing expectations they're not ready for. Secondary trauma and burnout are real costs of caring, and taking care of our own wellness is critically important because we need to be healthy people in the room to truly serve others without reinforcing harm. Trust is the bridge for change, and consistency creates safety that literally rewires the brain—centering connection over correction leads to systemic change in how we support survivors. Listening to voices of lived experience is essential; helpers should ask "what do you need" rather than assuming they know what survivors need. Resources Compass Rose Psychotherapy Transcript [00:00:00] Priscilla Ward: what harm reduction looks like in my community might be very different than yours, but the spirit of harm reduction can be applied. Anywhere and everywhere. [00:00:11] Delaney: You know that uncomfortable space where things aren't neat or solved, what if that's where the real healing starts? Today's conversation leans into that gray area. The space where our instinct to fix meets the deeper need to simply be present. [00:00:25] When we let go of control and step into curiosity, we make room for safety, dignity, and real connection. That kind of community can change everything. Hi, I'm Delaney Menninger. I'm a student here at Vanguard University and I help produce this show. Today, Sandy talks with Priscilla Ward, a licensed clinical social worker who trains faith leaders and community team...

Spain is the European Union's largest fruit and vegetable producer, with exports topping €18 billion in 2024. Yet those whose work sustains this lucrative sector face widespread underpayment and labour rights violations - with some facing extreme exploitation bordering on modern slavery.As Eoghan tells Alan, this model should not be seen as some antiqued part of the Spanish economy but rather in its employment of digital surveillance techniques and with the growing financialization of the agricultural sector, Spain is at the cutting edge of European farming.If you like what we produce, and want more, please think of contributing and making the podcast sustainable going forward:⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/thesobremeyThe investigation discussed in this episode:1.

Let's explore the Christmas season in Spain, a celebration shaped by faith, family, and a sense of continuity that feels both ancient and vibrant. While American Christmas traditions tend to revolve around a burst of excitement on December 25, the Spanish holiday season stretches across weeks, layered with rituals that wind through Advent, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Epiphany. In many ways, Spanish families see Christmas not as a single day but as a long path of reflection and joy, filled with moments that bring communities together and call back to centuries of tradition. For readers whose ancestors came from Spain, these customs offer a glimpse into the rhythms their families once lived by—rhythms that often endured even after crossing the Atlantic. Spain's Christmas roots run deep into its Catholic heritage. Churches glow with candlelight and echo with hymns that have carried through generations. Families gather for quiet meals on Christmas Eve, attend midnight services, and continue celebrating into January. Yet the season is not solemn from beginning to end. It bursts with color and festivity when the Three Kings arrive, turning Epiphany into a joyous event centered on children. The mix of devotion and delight creates a holiday that is uniquely Spanish, where the story of the Nativity shapes the season just as strongly as local customs and regional identity. Across Spain's diverse regions—from the rugged hills of Galicia to the coastal villages of Catalonia, from the plains of Castile to the streets of Andalusia—Christmas feels slightly different in each place. These local variations hold clues to ancestry. Everything from the foods served at Christmas Eve dinner to the style of Nativity scenes displayed in homes reflects regional history. When families emigrated from Spain, they often carried these traditions with them, adapting them gently to new cultures while quietly preserving the memory of their homeland. The Spanish Christmas season unfolds slowly, drawing people into its meaning step by step. Let's follow this path from Advent to Epiphany and see how faith, folklore, and family come together to shape a celebration that has endured for centuries.

Discover what makes high-quality Spanish EVOO stand out as Daniel and Ben from Titin share their family story, explain harvest timing and flavor differences, and offer simple ways to elevate your cooking with better olive oil.   In this episode, I'm joined by Daniel Danes and Ben Aguilar from Titin EVOO, a Boston-based, family-owned company importing high-quality extra virgin olive oil from Spain's renowned Jaén region. Daniel shares the inspiring story behind the brand, rooted in three generations of women who started harvesting olive oil in southern Spain more than a century ago. We also explore what truly sets great olive oil apart — from harvest timing and terroir to traceability and polyphenol levels. Ben and Daniel walk us through the differences between early harvest and November harvest oils, how to decode olive oil labels, and why the Picual variety delivers such vibrant, peppery flavor. They also share simple ways to use both their Universal (everyday) and Finishing olive oils to elevate salads, pasta, roasted vegetables, fried eggs, desserts, and more. Whether you're a home cook or an olive oil enthusiast, this episode offers practical tips for choosing and using high-quality EVOO. Includes a tasting of Titin's oils and ideas for bringing more Mediterranean flavor into your home cooking.

In this episode of The Yard Sign, Florida's most important relevant podcast, hosts Johnny Torres and "Evil" David Cabrera welcome back veteran correspondent Travis Horn for a lively post-Thanksgiving deep dive into global and domestic hot topics. Kicking off with lighthearted banter on Florida's overlooked role in the first Thanksgiving—courtesy of Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés in 1565—the trio quickly pivots to the explosive rumors swirling around Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. With Trump signaling aggressive action against narcoterrorism, including potential strikes on Maduro as an enabler of drug trafficking, the hosts speculate on the dictator's flight risks, possible escapes to Russia or Cuba, and the billions siphoned by the Chávez family. They dissect the U.S. military's "double-tap" boat interceptions in the Caribbean, mocking media portrayals of narco "fishing vessels" as high-speed death traps, and question the timing of Admiral Alvin Holsey's abrupt retirement amid reported clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the strikes' legality—dismissing Democratic outrage as desperate deflection from real border threats like Mexican cartels. The conversation heats up on foreign policy ripple effects, from China's stake in Venezuelan oil to a potential domino for right-leaning regimes across Latin America, with calls for guests like Josh Bergen for deeper analysis. Shifting gears, they roast Rep. Emmanuel Sánchez's (D-OH) push to ban dual citizenship for lawmakers, branding it performative red meat unlikely to sway voters despite echoes from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Wrapping with the Tennessee special election, where a Democrat who once trashed Nashville's party scene won 72% in the district she now represents, the hosts lament blue-state transplants turning red strongholds purple, joking about balkanizing Virginia or annexing Canadian provinces to balance the electoral map. The episode closes with bold wagers on resolutions to Venezuela and Ukraine-Russia by year's end, underscoring Trump's troll-mastery in global chess. Packed with unfiltered hot takes, historical nods, and Florida flair, this installment reminds listeners why socialism crumbles and why backing the right strongman matters—now more than ever.
