Corinna y el Rey es la increíble historia real de un amor que puso de rodillas a la familia real española. Cuando Corinna, una empresaria cosmopolita y bien conectada, se enamoró de Juan Carlos I, el rey de España, parecía ser demasiado especial para fracasar. Su romance secreto se extendió por todos los continentes, pero cuando todo se vino abajo, abrió la ventana a un mundo peligroso y lleno de codicia, corrupción y crimen. Enormes cantidades de riqueza oculta; espionaje internacional y conspiración; escándalo, caza de elefantes y lujuria imparable... todo se remonta a una de las familias reales más envueltas en secretos del mundo. Narrado por la estrella de “Orange is the New Black”, Laura Gómez, y co-producido por La Coctelera Music y Brazen. This podcast is also available in English.

Mark Lombardi, a conceptual artist on the cusp of international success, had everything to live for. So why was the 48-year-old found dead, and his death ruled a suicide? Was it the ultimate conceptual art, an afterlife laugh at those who doubted his brilliance? He did, after all, carry business cards eerily portending "death defying acts of art and conspiracy." Or was he ultimately overwhelmed by the subject of his work: the financial networks connecting some of the most powerful and corrupt people on earth? His intricate drawings traced hot money, from Cold War funding to the heroin trade. But his most dogged scrutiny fell on the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, a global money laundry bankrolling fraudsters, smugglers, and CIA operations abroad. Since his death, Lombardi's masterwork on the rogue bank has been held at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Could it be responsible for his demise? The answer can only be found within Lombardi himself. Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://brazen.fm/plus/

“The past is never dead. It's not even past.” Silicon Valley is an espionage innovator—it has been since its inception. During the dawn of the high-tech age, an engineer named James Harper begins his industrious climb. But as Silicon Valley blossoms into what it is today, so too does the dark side of all this newfound wealth and ambition—right as the cold war reaches its final crescendo. As Harper works to build his fortune, his ambition endangers his nation’s safety. He sells nuclear secrets to the Soviet Bloc—intelligence that might still help Moscow in a nuclear exchange today. It would become the chase of a lifetime for San Francisco’s FBI spy hunters. In this series, we’ll walk you through a maze. One of nuclear spying, technology theft, and double agents, and the too wild-to-be-believed events that placed James Harper at the center of this story.
