1983: Portugal à Queima-Roupa

Observador

Narrado pela atriz Victoria Guerra e com banda sonora original dos Linda Martini, “1983: Portugal à queima-roupa” conta a história do ano em que dois grupos terroristas internacionais atacaram em Portugal. No espaço de apenas três meses, um comando paramilitar tomou de assalto uma embaixada em Lisboa e uma execução sumária no Algarve abalou o Médio Oriente. Issam Sartawi, um dos homens mais próximos de Yasser Arafat, líder histórico da Organização para a Libertação da Palestina, foi o primeiro a morrer. No dia 10 de abril, em pleno Congresso da Internacional Socialista, no Algarve, foi assassinado com um tiro na nuca no lobby do Hotel Montechoro, em Albufeira. O atirador saiu a passo do hotel, ainda de arma em punho e, apesar de toda a segurança montada no local, conseguiu desaparecer no meio da confusão. Três meses depois desta execução, reivindicada por um dos grupos mais temidos no Médio Oriente na segunda metade do século XX, um comando paramilitar arménio conseguiu não apenas entrar em Portugal mas tomar de assalto uma embaixada no centro de Lisboa — e fazer reféns. Foram atentados mortíferos e de extrema violência, num país que só estava habituado a ver o terrorismo ao longe, no estrangeiro e através da televisão. Que mostraram que Portugal não estava preparado para prevenir ou responder de forma eficaz a este tipo de ameaças externas, e, no final, obrigaram as autoridades a dar um passo que a maior parte dos países europeus já tinha dado há muito tempo: avançar para a criação dos serviços secretos.

The Telepathy Tapes

Ky Dickens

The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast that explores the origins of consciousness and the unexplained abilities of ESP through science, verifiable experience, formal testing, and human story. In Season One, non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.

Pablo Escobar: Escape from La Catedral

Spotify Studios

Pablo Escobar was one of the most powerful men in the world in the 1980s. Through terror and a network of corruption, he gained almost total control over the police, the army and much of the Colombian government while operating an international cocaine trafficking network. After a series of savage attacks which involved the downing of an aircraft, bounties for killing police and the bombing of government offices in broad daylight, the Colombian government was forced to act. Their solution was the negotiated surrender of Escobar in exchange for a series of concessions such as allowing the kingpin to choose where he would be imprisoned, a site called "La Catedral" in his native Envigado. Narrated by Univision nightly news anchor Jorge Ramos, Pablo Escobar: Escape from La Catedral is based on a mysterious set of audio tapes containing secretly recorded telephone conversations between Escobar, his cronies, and others during the months between the capo's surrender, eventual escape and death.

Scams are no longer run by individuals. Instead, the bulk of scams now come from a network of high-security compounds in SE Asia, where an estimated 400,000 people live in slavery and are forced to run scams 24/7. In this multi-part video podcast, we'll dive into the terrifying world of 'scammer farms'. We'll meet people who've been trapped and escaped — and others who are desperately trying to rein in this exploding new business model.
