The Spanish ArPodA

Sarah and Peter are great together at blending facts and humor to make history interesting! I had no knowledge of Spanish history and now I’m looking forward to every new episode!

Really great podcast which makes this complex country and region a lot easier to understand! But please get this podcast on the Sticher network as soon as possible! It will really help me access it more easily. Podbean has really annoying ads that interrupt the audio sound of the episode while the episode is still playing.

Very informative. Great hosts with a good balance between engrossing information and hilarious banter. I’ve only been listening for the past few days, but I can’t get the name out of my head and every time I think of it, it makes me smile, and it makes my day brighter! I listen to a lot of Rexy pods this one and potafacts (probably didn’t spell that right, but the one about the popes) are probably my favorite if I was forced to choose . Also amazing music ques! I really wish I could learn to play castanets now!

First off, I am embarrassed at how long it took me to remember my high school Spanish to write that title. Second, off, WOW, what a great show! And not just another show in the mold of Rex Factor (although I do love all #rexypods). One difference between this show and many others is that the main presenter, Sarah, has a broad and deep pre-existing knowledge of the history of Spain, so she’s able to give a basic overview of the story while also skimming through the academic side of the history (sources, manuscript history, etc) in a manner that’s much more similar to Saga Thing (also hosted by academics) than to other more casual podcasts in the Rex factor format. And, I’ve gotta say that Peter is one of the funniest co-hosts in the business - his sarcasm really works well in contrast with Sarah’s more matter of fact tone, and it’s also great that he seems to have a very solid memory for stuff discussed in previous episodes (no shade to Ali from Rex factor, but it’s nice to have the cohost help you as a listener remember older information). I just started listening last week and I can already tell I’ll be done in a couple of days, and when that happens I’ll be eagerly awaiting new episodes as they come out!
