DIAS EXTRAÑOS con Santiago Camacho
Vivimos en una época convulsa, el exceso de información genera desinformación y, a veces, las noticias más jugosas y significativas se quedan en el tintero de los grandes medios. La mayor diferencia entre nosotros y los medios de comunicación radica en los temas en los que nos centramos. Pensamos que muchos temas que potencialmente podrían cambiar nuestra manera de contemplar el mundo y la realidad quedan fuera del foco de los medios por ser considerados, demasiado controvertidos, demasiado extraños, demasiado desestabilizadores o contrarios a los intereses corporativos de los propios medios. Pues bien, son precisamente esos los temas que a nosotros nos interesan. Dias extraños quiere recoger los temas más extremos y controvertidos, tratándolos con rigor y credibilidad, en un lenguaje cercano y desenfadado. Las conspiraciones, los secretos de la historia, la ciencia de vanguardia, lo paranormal, el fenómeno ovni, los servicios de inteligencia, el crimen organizado, la geopolítica y las nuevas tendencias sociales serán algunos de los semilleros de los que tomemos nuestros temas. Nuestro enfoque será siempre crítico, no creemos en nada, dudamos de todo. Nuestro propósito es reconstruir la realidad que se nos presenta desde los medios para obtener elementos que nos acerquen un poco más a la verdad que se encuentra tras los titulares.

The Amazing Journey of the Three Kichis
In 1834, the Three Kichis were on a routine journey to deliver rice to Tokyo. But when a typhoon interfered, they were swept out into the Pacific for 5,000 miles — and became the first Japanese people in the Pacific Northwest. But that was only a single moment in one of history’s most amazing journeys. The trio would end up going halfway around the world and back again, seeing things they never could have imagined. Accidental pioneers in a world on the precipice of being transformed. * VERY SPECIAL CREDITSHosted by Dana Schwartz, Zaron Burnett, Jason EnglishWritten by Bess LovejoyProduced by Josh FisherStory Editor is Marisa BrownEditing and Sound Design by Jonathan Washington and Josh FisherMixing and Mastering by Baheed FrazierOriginal Music by Elise McCoyResearch and Fact Checking by Meredith Danko, Bess Lovejoy, and Austin ThompsonShow Logo by Lucy QuintanillaExecutive Producer is Jason English Thanks for listening!

Introducing Season 2: MEDBURG
Hi Stealing Superman Fans! Take a listen to the trailer of season two of SNAFU: MEDBURG with Ed Helms. About the show: Hosted by Ed Helms, SNAFU is a podcast about history’s greatest screw-ups. In Season 1, Ed digs into a story he can't stop thinking about: Able Archer 83, a 1983 NATO military exercise meant to prepare us for nuclear war that almost mistakenly started one. This story has a colorful cast of characters: from Ronald Reagan, to two treasonous spies, to a dauntless sleuth determined to get to the bottom of what really happened and why nobody knows about it.
