What it actually is

Two writers take a theme — forgiveness, envy, being wrong — and talk around it for an hour with guests, jokes and a great deal of cultural reference. It won two Ondas awards and is among the most listened Spanish-language podcasts on Spotify in both Spain and Latin America. The Spanish is quick, ironic and full of allusion, so it is squarely advanced listening; there are no transcripts and the digressions are the whole appeal.
