In part two, Eva and Maite dig into peanut-related idioms as they follow the legume into the modern age where it became a symbol of innovation, resilience, and identity. They talk peanut farming in the American South, George Washington Carver, and the rise of peanut butter as an American obsession.

Arthur Koestler, a huszadik század egyik legizgalmasabb és legsokoldalúbb közép-európai gondolkodója és írója. A szabadság megszállottjaként rendíthetetlenül kereste a végső igazságot, de végül rájött, hogy nem létezik egyetlen, mindenek felett álló igazság. A ’30-as években a Német Kommunista Párt tagjaként eljutott a Szovjetunióba, ahol szembesült a diktatúra kijózanító és húsbavágó valóságával, a szegénységgel, az éhezéssel és az elnyomással.

حضارة المايا القديمة ازدهرت في أمريكا الوسطى، وتميّزت بإنجازات مبهرة في العمارة والرياضيات والفلك. عاش ملوك المايا في مدن عظيمة مثل كوبان وبالينكي، حيث شيّدوا المعابد والأهرامات وزيّنوا جدرانها بالنقوش والرموز الهيروغليفية التي خلدت سيرهم. تكشف الأبحاث الحديثة باستخدام تقنيات الليدار وتصوير الميون عن شبكات مدن ضخمة ومقابر ملوك مفقودين كانت مدفونة تحت الغابات الكثيفة. أظهرت الاكتشافات أن اليَشْم كان رمزًا مقدسًا للسلطة والخلود، وارتبط بطقوس الدفن الملكي، فيما لا يزال الغموض يحيط بأسباب انهيار تلك

Y hoy nos vamos con la historia de un hombre que horrorizó a los Estados Unidos tan solo durante una noche, en la que se cobró la vida de más personas que las que muchos de los protagonistas de SerialMente se cobraron durante toda su vida criminal.

Norimberského tribunálu - jenž během uplynulého roku soudil největší nacistické zločince, které se spojencům po konci druhé světové války podařilo zadržet - čekají odsouzení na výkon trestu.

Today we will talk a lot about Matthias Corvinus, the legendary renaissance king of Hungary whose library outshone that of the Medici in Florence and whose standing army was one of the greatest – and most expensive - military forces in 15th century Europe. Why are we talking about a Hungarian ruler in a series about the Habsburgs?
