Podcasts about Iberian Peninsula

This week, we travel back to the Iberian Peninsula in the 11th Century CE and begin our discussion about one of the most formative events in the Western European historical tradition: The Reconquista. Traditionally, at least to Western historians, this has been a tale of the centuries long triumph of Christianity, Civilization, and Enlightened European Values over the despotic domination of the conquering Muslim hordes. This week we will introduce perhaps the most famous culture hero to emerge from this tumultuous era, El Cid, and explore the world into which he was born.   Please consider checking out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/leftunread Follow us: @leftunreadpod @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung Email us: leftunreadpod@gmail.com Theme music courtesy of Interesting Times Gang, who have tons of cool tunes for sale here: www.itgang.bandcamp.com Happy Juneteenth :)

Christianity is often considered prevalent when it comes to defining the key values of late antique society, whereas 'feeling connected to the Roman past' is commonly regarded as an add-on for cultivated elites.  Roman Identity and Lived Religion: Baptismal Art in Late Antiquity (Cambridge UP, 2025) demonstrates the significant impact of popular Roman culture on the religious identity of common Christians from the fifth to the seventh century in the Mediterranean world. Baptism is central to the formation of Christian identity. The decoration of baptisteries reveals that traditional Roman culture persisted as an integral component of Christian identity in various communities. In their baptisteries, Christians visually and spatially evoked their links to Roman and, at times, even pagan traditions. A close examination of visual and material sources in North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and Italy shows that baptisteries served roles beyond mere conduits to Christian orthodoxy. New Books in Late Antiquity is presented by Ancient Jew Review. Stefanie Lenk is a postdoc the university of Göttingen, and she's held other postdocs and fellowship at the Universities of Bern and Hamburg.

Snuggled up next to Spain on the Iberian Peninsula and perched on the westernmost edge of Europe, Portugal has a long love affair with the sea. The Age of Discovery, launched in 15th-century Lisbon, carried Portuguese sailors to far-flung lands and brought sugarcane, tobacco, cotton, coffee, gold, spices, and chocolate back home. Today, the traditions of the colonies — and a Moorish invasion or two — are integrated into Portugal's cuisine, music, architecture, and the azulejos that tell stories of Portuguese life in colorful ceramic tiles. Portugal has treasures to offer every kind of traveler: the fortified wine of Madeira and the port of the Douro Valley, ancient Roman ruins and crenelated medieval castles, lush hilltop gardens and one-of-a-kind beaches, savory fried snacks and perfectly-sweet pastries — and bookish delights including a baroque library, a literary hotel, and a church-turned-bookshop. In this episode, we hit the high seas with Portuguese explorers, take a virtual visit to the world's oldest operating bookstore, and learn the multifaceted story of the Portuguese poet Pessoa. Then we recommend great books that took us there on the page, including a punch-you-in-the-feelings thriller, a charming history of Lisbon, a different kind of WWII story, a swashbuckling adventure starring a language-loving ape, and a memoir-cookbook hybrid that reads like the best kind of travel guide. Two Nights in Lisbon_ by Chris Pavone Queen of the Sea: A History of Lisbon by Barry Hatton Estoril by Dejan Tiago-Stankovic The Night in Lisbon by Erich Maria Remarque The Murderer's Ape by Jakob Wegelius, Peter Graves (translator) My Lisbon: A Cookbook from Portugal's City of Light_ by Nuno Mendes For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Spain and Portugal will be sending joint letters to the EU energy commissioner and French energy minister, urging them to apply pressure on the current plans for interconnections, following April's blackout in the Iberian Peninsula. But are high costs, local resistance, and fears over the impact of cheap imports stiffening Paris's opposition  to further power links with Spain.This week we speak to key Spanish and French market experts to unpack some of the issues that the topic of further interconnection raises for the two countries. And for the rest of Europe.Presenter: Richard Sverrisson Contributors:Muriel Boselli - France Correspondent, Montel NewsBelen Belmonte - Spain Correspondent, Montel News          Guests:                     Ana Barillas - Managing Director, Iberia and LATAM at Aurora Energy ResearchEmeric de Vigan - Managing Director, 42 Advisors Editor: Oscar BirkProducer: Sarah Knowles

2025 is your year to level up your Brazilian Portuguese—agora é a hora!

[Dr Alexander MacDonald]We've been lucky. The day could come where most of the world loses electricity at exactly the same time. So we have to modernise electricity centred around the supergrid that protects the flow of electricity because it is life-giving.[Nick Breeze]In this ClimateGen episode, I'm speaking with Dr Alexander McDonald, a former head of climate research at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, NOAA. Alexander outlines the need to urgently upgrade electrical energy generation in the US and around the world using supergrids. The vulnerability of existing grids was illustrated recently in Spain and Portugal, where an outage hit the entire Iberian Peninsula in May 2025.Without a massive transition to resilient electrification, we are all exposed to huge risks posed by power outages. In the next episode, I speak with Dr Sumitra Das about the proposed cooling plan for India. What we have found last year, 37 cities crossed 45 degrees Celsius and with humidity that means 55 degrees to 65 degrees Celsius, real fill that you'd have.90% of the people do not have air conditioning today. Dr Sumitra Das and his colleagues have proposed a national cooling policy plan in an effort to counter the deaths caused by extreme heatwaves. This includes geoengineering techniques that many will find controversial.And yet, as the emissions keep rising, so do the temperatures and the humidity. Thank you to all members and subscribers for supporting this channel. There are more episodes in the pipeline covering interrelated climate topics from experts across the globe.Thank you for listening. Alexander, thank you very much for taking the time to speak to me today. We're going to talk about the whole supergrid proposal that you're very involved in.And I just wanted to ask you to give a brief status quo in the US for electricity generation and transmission and also considering the future demand for, especially when we're talking about new technologies like AI, for example.

With its new carried interest regime offering a 50% tax rebate, Spain is making a bold play for private equity talent. Clearer rules, competitive rates, and a lifestyle that blends world-class cuisine, culture, and climate are turning heads, and portfolios, toward the Iberian Peninsula. Could a move to Spain cut your carried interest tax bill in half, without the usual legal grey zones? What if your next bonus came with sunshine, sangria, and a 50% rebate from the Spanish tax authorities? This episode in the Tax Lyrical mini-series breaks down Spain’s new carried interest regime and asks whether a five-year holding period is a gateway to major savings or a hidden pitfall waiting to catch fund executives off guard. To unpack Spain’s new carried interest regime, Ashurst’s Patricia Allen is joined by Javier Hernández Galante. Together, they explore the key requirements, tax benefits, and common pitfalls of the new framework, as well as how it compares to previous treatment under Spanish law. “The goal is to bring clarity where there was once uncertainty,” explains Javier, highlighting why Spain may now be a serious contender for fund executives looking to optimise both tax and lifestyle.

SPAIN SUFFERS COMMUNICATIONS OUTAGE AMONG EMERGENCY SERVICES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Spain: This morning a widespread communications outage struck the nation, resulting in a nearly total loss of emergency communication networks throughout the Iberian Peninsula. No word yet on what caused the outage.-HomeFront-Missouri: A $25,000 reward has been posted for any information pertaining to various acts of vandalism that occurred throughout the Kansas City metro area over the weekend. Authorities state that vandals cut internet communications cables at multiple sites throughout the city, which resulted in localized internet outages.California: This morning a bomb threat was reported onboard Hawaiian Airlines Flight 15. A passenger reportedly stated that they would detonate an explosive device on the aircraft shortly before takeoff, prompting the pilots to abort takeoff and initiate an emergency response.

Hey Loopers!Welcome back to another episode of Spanish Loops.So today, Fran and I are talking about something kind of surprising: the evolution of Spain's railway system. And get this... it didn't even start on the Iberian Peninsula! Nope, the first tracks were actually laid overseas. Wild, right?Soon after, though, the very first railway line did pop up in Spain mainland, and from there it just kept growing. Fast forward to today, and Spain is now one of the top countries in the world when it comes to passenger train travel. Like, seriously world-class.But here's where it gets interesting: foreign companies have entered the game. That whole state-run monopoly thing? Yeah, not so much anymore. And while competition can be good—more trains, better prices, more destinations—it's not all sunshine and smooth rides.The downside? More trains + same number of tracks = traffic jams. We're seeing delays on departures and arrivals that we never used to deal with here.So the big question is: was it a smart move to invite all this competition without first upgrading the infrastructure? Should Spain have built more tracks before opening the doors?In this episode, we break it all down—past, present, and what the future might look like.Trust us, you're not gonna wanna miss this one!

We're back with another episode of Sake On Air, and this week we're headed to Spain - where sake is making some exciting moves! In this episode, our hosts Cindy Bissig and Sebastien Lemoine sit down with Mayuko Sasayama, sake educator, author, and the driving force behind Iberkanpai, the first sake and Japanese gastronomy fair on the Iberian Peninsula. We talk about how Mayuko's journey into the world of sake began, her passion for connecting Japanese food and beverage culture with new audiences in Spain, and what inspired her to create Iberkanpai. With the inaugural event just around the corner in Madrid (held on the 12th and 13th of May 2025), she shares with us what to expect and why this moment is so meaningful for the future of sake in Spain and beyond. Whether you're curious about sake's presence in Europe, passionate about cultural exchange, or just love hearing from people doing bold things in the sake world, this one's for you.

Last week, Europe experienced its worst blackout in living memory, which plunged tens of millions of people across Spain and Portugal into darkness for up to 18 hours. Life screeched to a halt, with trains, traffic lights, ATMs, phone connections, and internet access failing. In the aftermath, many important questions have arisen, including: what caused such a widespread grid failure, and how can Europe and other nations prepare for the next time an event like this happens?  In today's episode, Nate is joined by Pedro Prieto to discuss the recent blackout in the Iberian Peninsula, exploring its causes, impacts, and the role of renewable energy in the stability of the electric grid. Prieto highlights the societal and infrastructural challenges that his home country faced, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to energy management, as well as the interconnectedness of energy systems and societal resilience. The discussion delves into the complexities of energy demand and supply, the importance of backup systems, and the future of renewable energy in Spain. Are developed countries more vulnerable to blackouts than those that are still developing? How does renewable energy act as a double-edged sword, adding stability or fragility to energy infrastructure, depending on how it's used? How might developed countries learn lessons from this widespread blackout, including policy changes or reducing energy dependence in the face of future energy challenges? (Conversation recorded on May 1st, 2025)   About Pedro Prieto: Pedro is the vice president of the Asociación para el Estudio de los Recursos Energéticos (AEREN). AEREN is an open space for debate and communications on energy issues and their role in demography, development, economy and ecology. Pedro was a member of the board at ASPO International with AEREN representing ASPO in Spain. Since 2004, Pedro has led several solar photovoltaic projects in Spain, a leading world country in solar PV penetration. Pedro co-authored Spain's Photovoltaic Revolution. The Energy Return on Investment, that challenged the conventional energy boundaries considered up to the moment for calculations.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

What happens when the lights go out across an entire region?This week, we talk about the massive blackout that plunged the Iberian Peninsula into darkness and the strange psychological aftermath that followed. Balder shares his experience from the ground in Madrid, while we reflect on how quickly panic and rumors—especially of World War III and our last episode on the fear of war—spread through a society gripped by fear. From people raiding grocery stores to others flocking to parks, the reactions say as much about our modern mindset as they do about the incident itself.We also look at how the blackout is already being politicised, reigniting old debates about renewables, nuclear energy, and infrastructure security, despite the fact that, as of recording day, we still don't know what really happened.This podcast is published with the help of RAIA NOW gUG but is an individual project between the Director of RAIA Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

Authorities are still trying to understand what triggered the massive power outage that left the majority of the Iberian Peninsula without electricity on Monday. To understand what might have been at play, and whether there's any truth to claims that renewable energy sources were to blame, Ian Sample hears from Guardian energy correspondent Jillian Ambrose. And Guardian European community affairs correspondent Ashifa Kassam explains what it was like to experience the blackout and how people reacted.

Simon Hunter, freelance journalist in Madrid, describes the extent of the electricity outages across the Iberian Peninsula as the restoration of power continues.

Amnesty International accuses Israel of 'live-streamed genocide' in Gaza Amnesty International, in a report, accuses Israel of perpetrating a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza, underlining systematic mass slaughter, starvation and ruthless displacement of Palestinians. "States watched on as if powerless, as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multigenerational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals, and schools,""Amnesty's Secretary General Agnes Callamard said. With 1.9 million Palestinians driven from their homes, Amnesty described Israel's invasion as an “engineered humanitarian apocalypse.” Amnesty also highlights escalating violence and apartheid in the occupied West Bank. UNHCR slams UN Security Council for 'chronic failure' to stop wars The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees chief Filippo Grandi criticised the UN Security Council for its chronic failure to prevent global violence, accusing the body of neglecting its responsibility to uphold peace. "This is a season of war. This is a time of crisis. From Sudan to Ukraine, from the Sahel to Myanmar, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Haiti, violence has become the defining currency of our age," Grandi said, pointing to escalating crises across the world. He warned that cuts to humanitarian aid are already costing lives and jeopardising millions. Grandi demanded urgent action, urging the Council to stop hiding behind diplomatic failures and take real risks to end conflict and protect civilians. Pakistan warns of imminent Indian incursion after Kashmir attack Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warns of an imminent military incursion by New Delhi following last week's deadly attack on tourists in India-administered Kashmir. Tensions between the two neighbours have escalated, with Asif citing India's growing aggressive rhetoric. The attack, which killed 26 people, triggered calls for action against Pakistan, despite a lack of proof of involvement, while Islamabad called for a neutral investigation. While Pakistan remains on high alert, Asif stressed that nuclear weapons would only be used in self-defence. International calls for de-escalation continue, including from Türkiye and China. Liberal Party secures victory in Canada's election: projections Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won Canada's election, according to projections from CBC and CTV News. While it remains unclear whether the party will secure a majority, Carney's team is expected to form the next government. The election saw US President Donald Trump's comments, including a suggestion of Canada joining the US, influence the race. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criticised Trump's interference, reaffirming Canada's sovereignty. Carney, who recently replaced Justin Trudeau, has emphasised the need for stability and calm leadership. Iberian Peninsula in chaos as power outage hits Spain, Portugal A colossal power outage plunged Spain, Portugal, and Andorra into chaos on Monday, disrupting daily life across the Iberian Peninsula. By Tuesday, Spain had managed to restore power to half the country, with a full recovery imminent. Portugal's Prime Minister Luis Montenegro hinted that the catastrophe likely stemmed from Spain, though the cause remains shrouded in mystery. European Council President Antonio Costa dismissed any cyberattack claims, but the hunt for answers continues. The unprecedented blackout also sent shockwaves through parts of France, leaving authorities scrambling for answers.

Europe Editor, Tony Connelly reports on the latest news regarding the Iberian Peninsula power outage.

Parts of Spain and Portugal shut down on Monday as the Iberian Peninsula experienced a rare mass power outage. While the lights are coming back on in parts of some cities, investigations continue into the source of the blackout.

Millions of people in Spain and Portugal are without electricity after the power grid went down across the entire Iberian Peninsula. The disruption could last a week, and the cause is still unclear. Also: President Putin announces another temporary ceasefire in Ukraine. And the trial has begun of ten men who are accused of stealing millions of pounds worth of jewellery from Kim Kardashian.

In this packed episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold gears up for GART Week while breaking down the latest major stories. He covers Trump's upcoming executive orders aimed at bolstering immigration enforcement, including mandating English proficiency for truck drivers. Jon also digs into the suspicious death of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, media manipulation around illegal immigration, and the absurd narratives surrounding the deportation of U.S. citizen children with their illegal immigrant mothers. He discusses Trump's playful but pointed call for Canada to become the 51st state, analyzes a Telegraph report tracking Trump's progress on major campaign promises, and highlights the continuing collapse of the Ukraine war narrative with Russia's bizarre pre-planned ceasefire. Other topics include the brewing tensions between India and Pakistan, a massive DEA-led nightclub raid involving illegal immigrants and active-duty soldiers, a shocking power outage across the Iberian Peninsula, and the exposure of Wikipedia's political bias. Jon ties it all together with sharp commentary, humor, and a call for vigilance as the regime's propaganda continues to crumble.

AP correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports on when power could be fully restored to the Iberian Peninsula.

David Wacks, Romance Languages, and 2024–25 OHC Faculty Research Fellow. In this project I study medieval translations, chronicles, legends, and plays based on the Hebrew Bible from the Iberian Peninsula's three religious traditions. I show how Muslim, Jewish, and Christian authors draw on shared languages and traditions, stage the religious polemics of the day, and how, under the surveillance of the Spanish Inquisition, clandestine Jews and Muslims read their own traditions into Christian retellings of the Hebrew Bible.

How were Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures depicted in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography during the Rif War and what did this portrayal reveal about conflicting visions of Spanish identity? Runner-up for the 2017-18 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize Spanish National Identity, Colonial Power, and the Portrayal of Muslims and Jews During the Rif War (1909-27) (Boydell & Brewer, 2021), examines how anxieties about colonial power and national identity are reflected in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography of Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures during the Spanish colonisation of Northern Morocco from 1909 to 1927. This understudied period, known as the Rif War, is highly significant because of its role in shaping the identities that came into conflict in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Furthermore, the book makes a key contribution to Spanish colonial studies by offering a comparative analysis of Spanish representations of the Iberian Peninsula's cultural and historical relationship with Moroccan Muslims and Jews in this context, showing how conflicting visions of Spanish identity are portrayed through and in relation to them.

In 711 an Arab and Berber army crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and invaded the Iberian Peninsula. Seven years later, their conquests had birthed the Muslim kingdom of al-Andalus. This marked the beginning of roughly 8 centuries of Moorish rule, during which al-Andalus became a conduit for the transmission of knowledge between the Islamic world and Europe.Joining us today is Brian Catlos, a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder and the author of 'Kingdoms of Faith: A New History of Islamic Spain'. He takes us through the history of al-Andalus, from its inception and expansion through to its dramatic downfall.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Max Carrey.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
