Glad you’re back!
A very good way to stay in touch with what’s happening in Spain! I’ve missed you.
Welcome back!
I’ve been a long time listener and missed the show during its long COVID-induced hiatus. As a Spanish-American, this is a great and easily accessible way to keep up with current events in Spain. Simon and Melissa are engaging and fun while providing some context to events for those of us listening from afar.
