Welcome to the first podcast on Patreon! You told me you wanted one, and I promised I would do one for you. After we reached the Patreon goal last month, I spent a few weeks listening to lots of different podcasts…

Today's first guest, for these Conversations on Spain, is Simon Hunter, the editor of El País in English. We talk about:

• Spain;
• Spanish identity;
• Spanish symbols;
• Monarchies and republics;
• Catalonia;

And in the extra special section for patrons, we also talk about:

• Spain and Brexit
• The PSOE trying to dig up Franco

Thank you for you listening, thank you for your support on the Patreon—do become a patron now if you haven’t already done so, so that you can enjoy the extra section—and enjoy the podcast!
