About this listen
Más allá de vencedores y vencidos, con una mirada que permite al lector acercarse de una manera distinta al pasado reciente, Alejandro Rosas y Sandra Molina concluyen su apasionante y perturbadora revisión de la Historia de México. Su trabajo inicia con el recuento de una fallida democracia -la de Madero- y finaliza con una crónica no menos triste, el retorno del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) a los Pinos.
De la administración de la abundancia petrolera a las crisis sexenales; del terremoto de 1985 a los escándalos de la fuga del Chapo y su recaptura; los autores nos adentran en la vida de un país que soñaba con un futuro prometedor donde la alternancia política fuera una realidad y la estabilidad social una constante; donde sus ciudadanos dejaran atrás los amargos recuerdos de la Revolución para instalarse en la comodidad del milagro mexicano.

Story
Érase una vez un cura que tocó una campana la madrugada de un domingo y levantó en armas a todo un pueblo cansado de trecientos años de opresión. Vendrían una guerra que duraría más de una década, una monarquía, golpes de Estado, la república, un caudillo apostador, la pérdida de la mitad del territorio, un zapoteco que llegó a ser presidente, la exclusión de la Iglesia y la consecuente batalla entre liberales y conservadores, otra intervención y otro imperio, un dictador afrancesado y el inicio de un nuevo conflicto armado. Así fue el convulso siglo XIX mexicano.

Nos gustan las mentiras. Tenemos la facultad de mentir, la capacidad de construir mentiras y la maravillosa inclinación de creer en ellas. Ese es el inicio y la premisa de Falsificar la historia. Un recorrido de miles de años por la historia, la filosofía y la religión; una aventura a través de la psicología individual y la de las masas, un viaje que no deja de moverse entre la realidad y los mitos, y que nos lleva a cuestionarnos TODO LO QUE HEMOS CREÍDO.

México bizarro 2 es un viaje alucinante por distintas épocas y personajes de nuestro país. Julio Patán y Alejandro Rosas te cuentan qué hay detrás de la fortuna de un pepenador millonario, un portero secuestrador y un poeta caníbal. O aquella vez que vino Queen y odiaron tanto la burocracia mexa que juraron nunca volver. Pero eso sí, fuimos fans de Tohuí hasta el punto de cantar con enjundia «Osito panda, que aún no andas...». Ya entrados en gastos, ¿un taquito de manatí o un pozolito humano? Ambos: platillos del menú bizarro de nuestra historia.

El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco.

Va de Teotihuacán a Roma , del mundo maya al valle del Nilo, de Mesoamérica a la India, de la toltequidad a la filosofía griega, y ante todo del pasado que debemos superar al presente en el que tenemos una última oportunidad para tratar de vislumbrar el futuro. Si descifras a Quetzalcóatl podrás salvar a México de hundirse en su inframundo.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement.
