It is heard by about 3 million people every morning. a number that makes day by day your presence The undisputed leader of radio morning programs. It’s such a responsibility Angels Barcelona Assumes and channels sound from microphones. Today is Friday running the program from the studios of Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante.
What body do you wake up with in the morning and face a disaster like the earthquake in Turkey and Syria or the war in Ukraine?
Look, in those situations, they wake you up, you don’t wake up. I wake up for the 4 am bulletin. If you need to activate it normally again in an earthquake that you have activated in some way, you need to immediately insert your batteries and see how you turn them off when such a thing happens. And the worst is your hope, not the first day, the problem is the next day. For example, 15,000 deaths today.
You have taken your work to different conflicts and natural disasters. There, the value of the word has to be imposed against the power of the image, which is no easy task.
Yes, teacher, I noticed the difference when I quit TV and switched to radio. I was used to making news that we played with the support of images and on the radio with our voice and references. It was a little shocking at first, but now it seems almost better to have to tell, you can explain the nuances, you can explain a lot, these are things that the image does not convey.
Sometimes it must be hard to go from something very sad to something more fun.
It’s my job, we can’t be like that. The images of children in the wreckage are something that prevents me from breathing, but it is clear that life has many facets from day to day. It’s hard, but life goes on no matter what. We’re at such a point of tension that people need to breathe, and it’s nice for people to breathe and laugh and tell other stories. Proof that life isn’t just what causes us suffering.
“Men do not fully understand what sexual violence is. This also shows that the Yes is Yes law is fundamental”
Only the Yes, Yes law is an example of this tension. This week, he interviewed Justice Minister Pilar Llop about it. The truth is I didn’t understand anything.
I think the minister is having a hard time explaining the content of the reform the Socialist Party has presented. Well, I don’t know if you’re having a hard time explaining yourself because you have nothing to explain or because it’s too complicated. First you should know why the PSOE made the decision to change the law and then what the law consists of. Among other things, because the key is in consent.
The CIS released a survey on sexual violence on Wednesday, censoring that two out of 10 Spaniards who force a couple to have sex are sanctioned.
Very strong. To me, this is proof that we have problems with sexual violence in this country. Men do not fully understand what sexual violence is. And it also shows that the Yes law of Yes is fundamental. It is very important for women, apart from that, we focus on reducing the sentence. But there are key points for violence and sexual assault. If there is a problem, it must be resolved. Inexhaustible, but no one questions the law.
Don’t you get the feeling that a lot of bad things are happening?
On top of that, I get the feeling that we’re moving fast in life. I don’t know if the consumption of information with networks has changed the information habit; there is too much demand for something to happen and sometimes it seems to me that we have to meet that demand and that is detrimental to our profession. I don’t know if things are worse than before, but we consume everything very quickly. A shredder today. When I think about what we said on Monday on Friday, it’s like a full year and five days have passed.
Only now does he return unmasked to the Ciudad de la Luz with Hoy por Hoy.
Yes, I was already giving a concert there. There were restrictions with the pandemic, not now. And also in Ciudad de la Luz on the eve of Goya. So we have a lot of arguments to talk about cinema.
I think he will talk to Generalitat president Ximo Puig about the water issue, which is a major concern in this community.
There will be something to be said about the transfer and also about the Yes, Yes law because it is socialist. But it is true that Ximo Puig always responds to everything.
Is there anything left to do on the radio? It is more difficult to be original and create new chapters each time.
I talk a lot about it with my team, we talk about how we count, how we do it. However, I’ve noticed that most podcasts that work best are two people talking about a lifetime radio. That’s why I’m contradicting myself because on the one hand I’m trying to improve and change, and then I see that the podcasts that work are the conversational ones. But there is a lot of ground to work on and many ways of saying things.
“We’re at such a point of tension that people need to breathe, and it’s good that we laugh and tell other stories.”
Whatfor today or today or 25 o’clock?
It is very difficult to choose. I was very happy in at 25 o’clock, For me it’s the longest program I’ve done, and for me it’s both emotional and legendary. I’ve been through many things in 25 o’clock. HE day by day Part of that crushing piece I said earlier is very demanding because of the time, because of the audience. But I don’t know what to say. I like to do both because what I love is making radio.
What news would you like to open? day to day?
I would like to wake up in a different country and have to deliver news where people understand each other, there is consensus, no one shouts, no one lies, no information hollygans…
