  • English Language Broadcast - Lilí Álvarez "La señorita": a pioneer in the Olympics - 27/06/24
    Jun 26 2024

    Next month the 2024 Olympics will begin in Paris. This year 5250 will participate in the games, the same number as men. A success in terms of parity, especially if we think about 100 years ago... In the 1924 Olympics, also in Paris, only 136 women competed, compared tp more than 2900 men. For our country those games were particularly special. Rosa Torras and Lilí Alvarez were the first Spanish women in the Olympics, paving the way for all female athletes who came after them and in particular for the 173 women who are expected to participate in this year's Olympic games.

    Now, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first time Spanish women participated in the Olympics and to celebrate the figure of Lilí Alvarez. The photography festival Photoespaña, in collaboration with the Fundación Ortega Marañón, organized an exhibition showcasing the story of Lilí Álvarez, her achievements and influence, not only in sports but in culture. To learn more about the exhibition "La señorita: Lilí Álvarez and the beginnings of women's sports 1915 - 1936" we visited the Foundation Ortega Marañon and Spoke with curator, Lucía Lain.

  • English Language Broadcast - Is Spain different? Asks The Penguin History of Modern Spain - 25/06/24
    Jun 24 2024

    "Spain is different" was a slogan promoted by the Spanish government to appeal to the masses abroad during the Francoist dictatorship. But how different is Spain, really? In today's broadcast, we'll be talking to historian Nigel Townson, author of The Penguin History of Modern Spain. The book covers Spanish history from the 1898 disaster, in which Spain lost the last of its colonies, up until today. So, today we'll be discussing the book, looking into the roots of some of the issues we see in Spanish politics and society today, and answering the question: Is Spain really different?

  • English Language Broadcast - The Science behind PIXAR: how math and art come together - 22/06/24
    Jun 21 2024

    "To infinity and beyond" is the famous phrase from the 1995 movie Toy Story, the first fully computer animated feature length film. Now, we're more than accustomed to seeing films of this medium, but what do we really know about how they're made? What exactly does 'computer animated' mean? What lies beyond infinity?

    An exhibition titled 'The Science behind Pixar' is currently running in the CaixaForum in Madrid, and in today's broadcast, the director of CaixaForum Madrid Isabel Fuentes tells us about everything that goes into a production made by the studio.

    On today's broadcast we also learn about the American fellows, the first community of fellows of Spain's Teatro Real outside of Spain.
