Can’t tell you how thrilled I am to see Qué podcast back. The dulcet tones of Simon and Melissa bringing us their take on Spanish news and current affairs - it was like coming home when I tuned in again - brilliantly presented, so informative, interesting, witty and amusing to boot. What not to like?! Keep the podcasts coming - we’ve missed you!
Very useful

After 10 long years living in Spain I can’t believe I’ve only just found this podcast!! Very useful for understanding Spain’s latest new stories so I can finally know what’s going on in this crazy country! Keep up the good work! X

The interview with Simon Manley is just so nice, so gentle. A couple of chums having a chat. And yet it still manages to be informative. I've no idea what the option to gazpacho was though and who wants to eat percebes anyway - my wife always contrasts them, unfavourably, to a form of human mucus.
Educating the expats

Try and listen to you both regularly on Talk Radio Europe but it’s not always possible to tune in at the right time so am ever grateful for this podcast. It’s important for expats, especially those in business here, to have some understanding of the Spanish news. Woefully few bother on the Costa del Sol but I live in eternal hope that your podcast (and TRE) will increase the numbers of those with at least a gist of what is going on in this country we’ve chosen to call home.
