About this listen
La frontera entre México y Estados se extiende a lo largo de poco más de doscientos años de historia y dos mil millas de terreno, equivalentes a 3,180 kilómetros. Esta línea creada por el hombre, protagonista de una complicada historia, se ha fortalecido y solidificado con el paso de los años. Sus significados también han cambiado. En un principio era una idea, el fin aproximado e inhóspito de un vasto imperio español y el inicio de la “tierra de nadie”. Después fue un trazo en un papel, una raya porosa, sin barreras físicas, que en tiempos de paz se convirtió en sitio de intercambio y cooperación, y en épocas de conflicto en terreno de choque no sólo de dos pueblos distintos, sino del Norte y el Sur de la geopolítica internacional. Hace dos siglos la frontera de Estados Unidos y México estaba formada por vastos desiertos y regiones peligrosas donde nadie quería vivir, una línea vagamente definida y poco vigilada. Hoy, en la segunda década del siglo XXI, a pesar de estar situada en uno de los hábitats más inclementes, es la más transitada del mundo; un país en sí mismo considerando el volumen de operaciones económicas que se llevan a cabo en sus proximidades, sin mencionar que se trata de una de las regiones más vigiladas del planeta, incluso una zona de “guerra de baja intensidad”, como la han denominado algunos expertos. Habría que considerar, tan sólo para comparar, la frontera entre Bélgica y Holanda, donde el cruce puede realizarse simplemente yendo de un café a otro, sin que nadie se dé cuenta cuándo se ha cambiado de país. O la de Polonia y Ucrania, cuya frontera abierta está formada por hermosas planicies verdes decoradas con figuras labradas en la tierra.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
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?

Story
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.

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story
The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

Mistakes
Overall pretty good but diminished by some egregious errors. Kennedy did not meet with any Mexican president in 1964; he was dead at the time! The US did not become and independent country in 1774 but declared independence in 1776 and Texas did not join the US in 1847 but did so in 1845. Don’t you guys ever proof read your work?
