Flannery O’Connor and other short story writers in ‘Literatus’
Flannery O’Connor, who was born almost a century ago, barely had time to live. She died before turning 40. But the author did have time to leave a handful of great writings about her surroundings, to build her particular chronicle of the deep south of the United States, and to do so with a sharp and acidic point of view. This is one of the analyses that the Colombian Federico Baraya Galán makes in Literatusa podcast which promotes the short story genre and its authors with no other resources than their voice and the exhaustive research they do on them.
From the American, she compiles in her own words her biographical and encyclopedic data, gives them context and shares advice on how to discover lesser-known texts and data from her work. At the end, read one of her creations, the story A good man is hard to find. Baya Galán has created a small community of loyal listeners who follow his stories by other literary greats, such as Borges, Kafka and Patricia Highsmith. His catalogue already exceeds fifty storytellers.
‘Tamayazo. The podcast’
At what point did politics take a path of no return towards anything goes? Many analysts date it to June 10, 2003, when two socialist deputies unexpectedly left the Madrid Assembly. Their escape altered the results of the polls. The flight of Eduardo Tamayo and María Teresa Sáez, who participated in the elections, in this podcast from RTVEopened an unprecedented crisis in Spanish politics. The script by Juanjo Cubero and Aitor Sánchez reconstructs in detail over 10 episodes events full of light and shadow that, more than 20 years later, still have many more areas of shadow than light. The narration is detailed down to the last detail, all of which are important.
The prequel to ‘Red Queen’
