The journey of Oh, campaneras to Italy, an analysis of the permanent crisis that young people face, the second investigative journalism project, a new production from the European WePod project and one of the sound spaces launched The Economist are the four podcasts recommended for November.
‘Oh, bell ringers’ in Italy
One of the great advantages that the podcast It is being able to launch ultra-personal, original projects that would hardly get the green light in the audiovisual field, no matter how many windows and screens have been opened in recent times. Lidia García’s is one of them. And if we recommend it, once again, it is because of the recent twist of the script that circumstances have forced.
Until now, its creator has combined this space dedicated to copla, cuplé, zarzuela and recent Spain with her academic work, as a researcher at the University of Murcia. When the opportunity came to take a one-year scholarship at the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome studying the copla’s connections with Italy, García had the idea of how to adapt his projects, including his podcast.
For the new (and mini) season of Oh, campaneras has recorded three episodes in which it tells the story of three of our most adored Cañís stars (Carmen Sevilla, Sara Montiel and Lola Flores) and their relationship with the elite of Italian cinema. The popularizer will reveal co-productions, romances and the challenges to Franco’s censorship in Italian lands. It premieres on November 27, one day before launching the book from which he has adapted these three audio stories: Italian tarantela.
Youth is not always a divine treasure
Colombian Laura Ubaté, pioneer of podcast in Spanish and jury of the recent Ondas Globales Podcast Awards, launches this month the sound project that she has been dreaming of since she was in her twenties: a guide to navigate the uncertainties that arise in the leap to maturity.
The seed was born precisely when Ubaté was 23 years old. “I had just left college and had no job. I was an unemployed person in Bogotá who felt that, in theory, something very important to me had to happen, although in reality nothing was happening. I was full of energy, but I didn’t know where to focus it. It generated constant anguish in me,” she recalls in a recent interview for EL PAÍS, of which it is a very universal story. The journalist defines it as a very collective, but at the same time very intimate, process in which each person resolves this conflict in their own way.
How does food get to your table?
Europe is on the brink of collapse. And in recent days we are experiencing another proof of this from Spain. In this context, there is a job that is essential for our society but in which, until now, we have barely shown interest. truckers It is a journalistic investigation that explains how it is possible for that device you bought online to arrive at your home in less than 24 hours and what the consequences are if this happens.
In four years there will be a shortage of more than 740,0000 professionals in this sector if nothing changes. Manu Tomillo tells it in this journalistic investigation space that launches a new episode every Friday starting November 29. It is the new production of the European project WePod, which is a collaboration of Ser Podcast and Europod.
