    Did someone actually give this podcast a one star rating?! I think it's a fantastic resource that ranges far and wide in tone and substance across many aspects of Spanish history. I've been learning Spanish for a couple of years and this is the perfect accompaniment.

  • You should keep doing this

    I am a spanish student at my leisure, so I was intrigued to come across this podcast. I have only listened through the first 2 episodes in English so far, but seeing that the show has zero ratings and reviews thus far, I’d like to take the opportunity to give the makers a little bit of constructive feedback.

    I would refrain from rating the show, but then iTunes won’t allow me to post. So I’ll give the show a reasonable start.

    The episodes have been very interesting to listen to, so great job w... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

La guerra como agente de globalización
Q: ¿Cómo contribuyeron sus guerras imperiales y la conquista durante este periodo a este proceso de globalización?
Los conflictos imperiales desplazaron personas y generaron conexiones imprevistas. Por ejemplo, prisioneros turcos capturados por los españoles fueron llevados por ingleses al Mediterráneo oriental para facilitar negociaciones comerciales.
La guerra como agente de globalización
Q: ¿Por qué crees que la guerra puede ser una fuerza globalizadora?
La guerra moviliza personas, impulsa contactos entre sociedades y difunde tecnologías e infraestructuras que luego adquieren usos distintos de los militares.
Lisbon and the Atlantic World
Q: Who was the Inquisition targeting in this period?
The Inquisition primarily targeted new Christian merchants perceived as beneficiaries of colonial trade and those involved in Atlantic commerce.
Lisbon and the Atlantic World
Q: How did the relationship between Portugal and England develop, and how dependent were the Portuguese?
The relationship deepened due to economic dependency on English naval protection and trade agreements, particularly the Methuen Treaty.
Lisbon and the Atlantic World
Q: What might it have been like to walk down the streets of Lisbon in the late 17th or early 18th century?
It was a very commercial, congested city, home to a diverse populace including various traders, enslaved people, and religious figures.
