Durante décadas, geriu a rede de intermediários de crédito num dos maiores bancos portugueses. Viu o boom de 2000 a 2008, com créditos a 100% e prazos de 40 anos. Viu o colapso de 2008, a Troika, os anos de Euribor negativa e o choque de 2022. E hoje, com o Banco de Portugal a anunciar novas regras para apertar o acesso ao crédito à habitação, sentei-me com ele para perceber uma coisa: já vimos este filme antes?

Santiago González comenta el espectáculo de los ministros quitándose la palabra para atacar al juez Peinado y defender a Begoña Gómez.

This week the Troika finish their brief detour into Frauds and Con artists. This time it's the man who SOLD THE EIFFEL TOWER TO two PEOPLE, Victor Lustig. We also discuss wizard vans, oxy clean, and so on. Enjoy. (don't buy any mega structures).

Ouça aqui a segunda parte da conversa com o comentador e cronista Pedro Marques Lopes, que revela aqui os pormenores da sua grande guinada profissional e pessoal, por altura da Troika. E dá conta de que é um cantor e um ator frustrado, um sonho da juventude nunca realizado “por falta de coragem”. Sobre o futuro, afirma que não descarta a ideia vir a candidatar-se a um cargo político. Depois partilha algumas das músicas que o acompanham, lê um excerto do livro “O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis”, de José Saramago, e deixa várias sugestões culturais. Boas escutas!

This week, in an abbreviated episode, the Troika begins an examination of more than a few fraudsters! We begin with Cassie Chadwick, the bane of Andrew Carnegie. We also discuss beer dynamics and baseball and Chuck Norris' horrible ouevre (RIP). Enjoy.

This week, three of Congress's sharpest legal minds requested a deposition with Hillary Clinton, took a victory selfie beforehand, and proceeded to get absolutely folded in half by a 77-year-old woman before the first hour was up. A masterclass in prosecutorial precision, just not theirs.Kristi Noem, widely regarded as one of the great strategic communicators of her generation, spent $220 million explaining to America how great she was, and was rewarded accordingly. Her successor is a former MMA fighter who once attempted to resolve a Senate hearing in the parking lot. The transition of power is going smoothly.Elsewhere, the United States and Israel are conducting a perfectly normal military operation in Iran, the Arab coalition that was supposed to hate this idea is on board, and Trump is simply working through a to-do list that happens to include regime change in three countries.David also attempted to prove his humanity to a children's video game and was denied. Thrice. The monkey was not a bird. Better luck next time.

Something a wee bit special for episode #60! This is the first one to feature *other* humans, because this is a crossover with two other podcasts: One Footer in the Grave (who I co-host with Marcus Lillington & Andy Clarke) and Unfinished Business (Andy Clarke & Richard Rutter). Each of us chose and introduced three 'desert island' songs, and had a lovely little chat about all our tracks. Features music by Steely Dan, Meat Loaf, The Beatles, RIDE, Fink, Electric Light Orchestra , The Besnard Lakes, Hot Chip, Genesis, Brad Paisley, Stars of the Lid and Snapped Ankles.

For sixty years Washington and Havana have been having a geopolitical tango fuelled by obsession and ideology. The island nation of Cuba has been a socialist splinter in the finger of the Florida coastline, its regime infecting the region. Now, with the toppling of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan oil tightly controlled by the US, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could be next. To get into the finer details of the US's new found dominance in the Caribbean, Venetia is joined by The Telegraph's foreign reporter, Lily Shanagher.Plus, former national security advisor John Bolton, voices the need for regime change in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Coining the phrase ‘Troika of Tyranny' in 2018, Bolton has had Cuba in his sights for many years as a rogue state. So what should happen next in the region? John Bolton lays bare the truth about Trump's decision making and the need for swift action.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

This week, Kate Molleson explores the life and music of Sergey Prokofiev – a composer whose imagination shaped some of the most vivid music of the 20th century. From childhood stories in rural Ukraine to bold experiments at the St Petersburg Conservatory, from revolutionary Russia to the bright lights of New York, and finally to his dramatic homecoming, Prokofiev's journey is full of ambition, upheaval and colour. We hear music that tells tales – fairytales, fantasies and fragments of real life – revealing a composer who never stopped dreaming.Troika (from Lieutenant Kijé Suite, Op. 60) Cinderella Suite, Op. 87 The Winter Bonfire, Op. 122: IV–VIII Music for Children, Op. 65: Nos. 1–9 Peter and the Wolf, Op. 67 Four Études, Op. 2 Autumnal Sketch Piano Concerto No. 1 in D flat major, Op. 10 The Ugly Duckling, Op. 18 Cinderella Suite No. 1, Op. 107: IV.

Die minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, Ronald Lamola, het bevestig Suid-Afrika skakel met verskeie ambassades weens kommer oor Amerika se optrede in die G20. Lamola het in 'n onderhoud met SABC News beklemtoon Suid-Afrika, as 'n stigterslid van G20 en deel van die Troika, vra nie 'n boikot deur ambassades nie. Hy moedig lande aan om Washington DC te betrek en multilateralisme en G20-beginsels te steun:

Tre milioni di persone in strada contro una riforma che rende il lavoro più precario. (Goffredo Adinolfi - univ. Lisbona) 5) Il primo social media ban del mondo. In Australia milioni di bambini e ragazzi under 16 non possono più creare un account sui social network. (Stefano Girola) 6) World Music. Dal Portogallo Lina, l'artista di Porto che fa rivivere il fado. (Marcello Lorrai)

The Finest Hour: How the Assassination Attempt Secured Reaganomics and the Rise of the Baker-Deaver Troika.Max Boot discusses how on March 30, 1981, just 69 days into his administration, Ronald Reagan was shot after giving a speech in Washington and came very close to death. Boot describes the event as Reagan's "finest hour," as Reagan behaved heroically, maintaining his composure and humor, famously joking with doctors, "I hope you're all Republicans," and telling Nancy, "Honey, I forgot to duck." The immediate political benefit was a huge boost in popularity and a massive increase in the prospects for his first budget, which included tax and spending cuts (Reaganomics). Reagan's great strength was convincing people to see the world as he wished it to be, persuading himself that dramatically cutting taxes and raising defense spending would eliminate the budget deficit, though this proved incorrect as budget deficits grew. Reagan was a "great leader but a poor manager," requiring highly capable people to manage for him, particularly Jim Baker. Boot considers appointing Jim Baker as White House Chief of Staff Reagan's most important decision, creating the Troika structure with James Baker, Ed Meese, and Mike Deaver. Another significant first-term achievement was Reagan's appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court in August 1981, fulfilling a campaign promise to appoint a woman.

This week, the Troika begin to discuss the 20th president of the United States: James A. Garfield. We also make terribly childish jokes about how much he loved Lasagna and hated Mondays, because you know we 'bout that low hanging fruit. Also, russian cars.Enjoy.

      Saul and Jolene went to a game convention over Labor Day weekend.  Their first game there was a RPG called Troika.  Saul had seen this rpg mentioned quite a bit in various posts.  From "Best Ever Indie Game", to "Most Underrated RPG" and many other lists.   Even though Saul had bought the PDF of Troika he had not yet looked at the rules, but had been very interested in what the buzz was about this RPG.         So Saul and Jolene played Troika for the very first time.  It wasn't the "usual" Troika, the GM was using a setting about the world consisting of only a huge bridge.  We had 7 players in the game and though we didn't know anything about the rules this RPG is pretty light so it was very easy to pick up.       After Saul and Jolene discussed this game, they decided to do an  episode of Troika.

      Saul and Jolene went to a couple conventions in late August and Early September.  In late August they went to Galaxycon in San Jose.  It takes place in downtown San Jose at the McEnery Center.  It is the largest convention center in the South Bay.  Saul was really impressed with all the guest speaker, panels, activities that were available at Galaxycon.  This was Jolenes and Sauls first time attending a Galaxycon.  Both came away impressed with the con and it was a very fun experience for the both of them.      Pacifcon is over Labor Day weekend and Saul and Jolene went on a Saturday once again.   Saul and Jolene met up with old friends and made new ones  playing an RPG called Troika and Boardgames.   Pacificon strengths are War Games and Miniature Games.  They also have full days of boardgames, organized play, and Protospiel.  A nice little con over Labor Day weekend.         Thank you all for listening.   Website Art by Jim Foster Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones    No music for this episode.

This week on the Troika we complete our short, interruption-filled foray into "The Lavender Scare," a time in America where the US government used laws, and moral and nationalistic fear-mongering to preclude a certain group of people from being safe, employed, or legally American. No, not now, but more like 30-50 years ago. But, also now, yes. Enjoy while we still can :(

Three hardened criminals: A derivative dwarf, a member of the Peerage of Porters and Basin-Fillers, and a dog in a neckerchief are thrown into a deep well as punishment for their crimes. 

Happy Pride month, Happy Juneteenth! This week on the Troika we begin a multi-part discussion about "The Lavender Scare,' when several government officials(some of which who were gay themselves) decided that gay government employees who were not as powerful as them should be fired because how dare they! Or something like that - Steve explains it better if the other Steve would stop talking. Enjoy!

Crisis Cycle: Challenges, Evolution, and Future of the Euro (Princeton UP, 2025) John Cochrane Luis Garicano Klaus Masuch PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2025 Launched 26 years ago, the euro was never expected to have an easy life but it wasn't supposed to be this hard. A three-year solvency crisis, a string of bailouts, and a rescue by the European Central Bank (ECB) was followed by threats of deflation, negative interest rates, massive purchases of government debt, a global pandemic, a European land war, and an inflation surge. The euro area emerged from these tests but may not survive the next without reforms during this period of relative calm. In Crisis Cycle, economists John Cochrane, Luis Garicano, and Klaus Masuch call for critical reforms to rebuild the system's incentive structure and stop the ECB's unsought mission creep. "A beautiful ship was constructed," they write. "Out at sea, it ran into severe storms. Its captain and crew patched the holes as best they could. Now though it is time to return to the dry dock and fix the ship properly". John Cochrane is a professor of economics at Stanford University, best-known for his work on asset prices and the fiscal theory of the price level. Luis Garicano is an economics professor at the London School of Economics and former vice-chair of the Renew group in the European Parliament. Klaus Masuch recently retired from the ECB, where he was head of the monetary policy strategy department and a negotiator for the "Troika" of official creditors during the sovereign-debt crisis.

This week on the Troika we meander through the topic of Howard Hughes, intelligent nepo baby, dater of stars, bedder of bombshells, madman with OCD in isolation and lacking help while surrounded by the obsequious worship of his massive wealth by a cadre of sycophants. We also discuss, comfortable cigarettes. Enjoy?!
