  • Excellent Podcast, Loaded with Interesting Info About Spanish Life, Politics and Culture

    In this age of content overload, this thoughtful and personal podcast manages to hold my attention completely. Daniel’s Voice—with a capital V—is strong, compelling, and his writing is thoughtful, well-researched, and actually nuanced. (Remember nuance?)

    As someone who spent a couple of decades producing public affairs talk shows for NPR before moving into podcast producing, I know good audio and THIS is it.

    Thank you Daniel!

  • Entertaining Listen

    I really enjoy this podcast about life in Spain from Daniel’s unique storytelling and sarcastic humor.

    While it’s mostly comedic for entertainment, it’s clear Daniel is very knowledgeable about Spanish culture and I appreciate what he has to say in each episode.
