3 APR 2018 · In this episode of Runnin' With Rosea, Max presented some of the musical groups and styles that have played during the show over the last several months, with stories and information about what we listened to.
20 MAR 2018 · This episode of Runnin' With Rosea is a tribute to the great Professor Stephen Hawking, who passed away last week.
Paola and Max were joined by Clara Castellanos, calling in from London, England. Clara is a physicist with a life-long interest in science and the work of Professor Hawking. She spoke to us about Hawking's innovative theories, his gift at explaining complex ideas about the cosmos to the general public, and the effect that his disability had on his life.
6 MAR 2018 · This episode of Runnin' With Rosea was, unfortunately, missing Paola's presence. However, Fernando filled in for the show, bringing his always-appreciated perspective and humor.
Max and Fernando celebrated International Women's Day in the program, which is celebrated on March 8. Max gave some of the history of the holiday, from its international inceptions in the early part of the 20th century to its worldwide adoption in the 1970s, to its continuing relevance today. Max and Fernando paid tribute to some of the women in their lives, and Fernando read a short poem he had written. We rounded out the celebration of Women's day with some music from the U.S. folk singer, Barbara Dane. In our English learning section, Fernando went into the intricacies of one of the most common, and diificult, words in the language: "get." Check it out to "get" more informed in your everday English!
27 FEB 2018 · On today's show, Paola and Max celebrated the life, times, and music of the inimitable Nina Simone, in honor of her birthday on the 21st of February.
Paola gave us the details about her biography (including her birth name), her life, and her involvement in the civil rights struggle in the United States. Paola and Max played some of her most iconic songs and discussed them in light of her fascinating biography.
In the middle of the show, fellow Rosea instructor and English testing guru Angela Gaitan came by with some great tips for English learners who want help dealing with anxiety. Check it out if you're planning on doing any kind of language assessment!
20 FEB 2018 · On this episode, Max and Paola explored the wide world of classical music, starting with a look at an experimental new work: a new concerto being performed by the New York Philharmonic which features two Olympic table tennis players as soloists. The piece, "Richochet" by the composer Andy Ahiko, employs the unorthodox rhythms of the ping pong players as the basis for its unique sound.
Next, Paola went on to explain some of the oft-heard but little-understood nomenclature of classical and orchestral music. Max discussed the works of Igor Stravinsky, particularly the controversial premiere of his ballet "The Rite of Spring," and Paola wrapped up the classical music discussion by filling us in on the recent rise of classical music in Colombia.
For our English learning portion, the illustrious Mark Bell joined us to point out some differences in North American and UK English pronunciation, and even went into some of the history of the linguistic divergence across the Atlantic.
17 FEB 2018 · Runnin' with Rosea orbited around the subject of space exploration this week. The News of the Week feature began with a discussion last week's news about Falcon Heavy launch, an ambitious new rocket launch from the company SpaceX that intends to carry very heavy objects into space. Paola and Max talked about the development and some of their concerns about, and the promises of, the project.
For Learning English on Air, Max described two types of metaphor, metonymy (in which something is identified by its property, or by something related to it), and synecdoche (in which something is identified by one of its component parts). Even though these words may be new, metonymy and synecdoche are everywhere!
Later, they were joined by Juan David Malvehy, a tech entrepeneur and space enthusiast who filled us in on more of the details and motivations behind the SpaceX project and its founder, Elon Musk.
6 FEB 2018 · Runnin' with Rosea is back after a long holiday!!!
The Tarapoto Lakes in the Amazon region of Colombia were declared Ramsar territory this month. So because of this, we dedicated today's show to explain what the Ramsar agreement is and why protecting wetlands around the world is important. We also shared part of "The Word for World is Forest", a science fiction novel written by the author Ursula Le Guin who recently passed away. Last, we had Fernando Paredes give a 10 min lesson about slang language in our new English Learning on Air section.
Enjoy!

12 DEC 2017 · After our first year of Running with Rosea we did a recap of the best 2017 moments !in the radiobooth. We talked about our first show; Christmas 2016, and some of our first sections like "Where in the World is Paola", "Words of the Week" and "Songs of the Week". We remembered some funny moments in the booth and replayed parts of the best shows and the ones with the most plays such as Languages, Yoga, Motivation, Twins, Halloween and Sleep.
We also played and mentioned short parts of our interviews with guests such as Menes La Plume, Mike Raven, Chan Shigematsu, Juliana Castellanos, the Cain press brothers, Brayan Arias, Joel Morris and others. We also heard and mentioned a couple of poems recited by Nicholas, Peter and Menes.
Last, we gave our most special thanks to Sebastian RÃos, the Urosario Radio director, to Mario Castro and Nelson Duarte the control masters and Jhon Alvarez who was also a control master at Urosario Radio for a large part of 2017 and to all of those who somehow made part of the show during this year; Brian, Nicholas, Christina, Daniela, Fernando, and all the Rosea students that participated on the show.
Enjoy!
