Historias: The Spanish History Podcast


Several thousand Spaniards were imprisoned in the notorious Nazi concentration camp of Mauthausen.

Cuando en los años ochenta los capos colombianos buscaban ampliar su negocio más allá del continente americano e introducirse en el mercado europeo, en los gallegos encontraron los perfectos socios para trasportar la cocaína, no solo por su condición de marineros innatos, sino también por su experiencia en el contrabando y, sobre todo, por su discreción. En este episodio con Sabrina Laroussi, profesora titular de estudios hispánicos en el Instituto Militar de Virginia, hablamos del origen del tráfico de drogas en el noroeste de España y cómo se fraguó la colaboración entre los cárteles colombianos de Medellín y Cali y los clanes amateurs gallegos. En este contexto, no podemos dejar de hablar de la narcocultura y sus manifestaciones en la televisión, las plataformas digitales de streaming, el cine, y la literatura.…

In this episode, we begin by discussing the origins of the Crown of Aragon. Then, we transition into a conversation about the role and treatment of religious minorities in the Late Middle Ages not only in the Crown of Aragon, but across medieval Europe more broadly. Within this broad topic, we focus on the role of royal processions and what they can tell us about religious minorities and their place within medieval societies. Finally, we explore some of the sources, archives, and techniques that historians use to engage with the past, and we hypothesize about where the field might go in the future.…
