Movie of the Year: 2006VolverThe Volver Podcast Episode Enters the BracketThe Volver podcast episode brings Pedro Almodóvar's beloved ghost story into the full Movie of the Year 2006 bracket. This week, Greg and Mike hold down the fort while Ryan sits this one out. Fortunately, they have serious backup. New Yorker television critic Inkoo Kang joins the panel to talk grief, ghosts, and the women of La Mancha. Together, they ask whether Almodóvar's warmest film has what it takes to survive the tournament.The conversation covers the film's supernatural heart, its unforgettable women, and its thoroughly rotten men. Additionally, the crew builds a Mount Rushmore of It Girls and runs through The Five. As always, the bracket outcome stays a secret here. Consequently, you will need to listen to find out how Volver fares.About the FilmVolver is a 2006 Spanish comedy-drama written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Penélope Cruz stars as Raimunda, a working-class mother in Madrid whose life unravels after a sudden death at home. Meanwhile, her sister Sole discovers that their late mother Irene, played by Carmen Maura, may have returned from the grave. The film is set partly in La Mancha, the windswept region where Almodóvar grew up.Volver premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, where it won Best Screenplay. Notably, its six lead actresses shared the Best Actress prize, an almost unheard-of collective honor. Cruz later earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, a landmark for Spanish-language performances. Roger Ebert gave the film four stars and named it among his four-star movies of 2006. You can find full details on the film's cast and awards at IMDb.The 2006 field is stacked with heavyweights. Volver joins previous entries like The Prestige, Little Miss Sunshine, and Borat in the fight for the crown.Guest Panelist: Inkoo KangInkoo Kang is the television critic at The New Yorker, where she has covered TV since 2022. Before that, she served as a TV critic at The Washington Post and The Hollywood Reporter. Her byline has also appeared at Slate, MTV News, The Village Voice, and TheWrap over a career spanning more than a decade. In practice, that résumé makes her one of the sharpest working critics on storytelling, performance, and cultural memory. Her perspective on Almodóvar's women makes this Volver podcast conversation essential listening.Ghosts and Grief on the Volver PodcastVolver treats death with a shrug and grief with a casserole. The Taste Buds dig into how Almodóvar builds a ghost story without a single scare. Irene's return plays as domestic comedy first and emotional reckoning second. However, the laughs never cheapen the loss underneath them.Inkoo, Greg, and Mike explore how the film's La Mancha setting shapes its view of mortality. The village women tend graves like gardens and speak of the dead like neighbors. As a result, the supernatural feels less like fantasy and more like tradition. The panel asks whether that matter-of-fact approach to death is exactly why the film hits so hard. Ultimately, Volver argues that the dead stay with us because we keep setting a place for them.Mothers, Daughters, and Sisters on the Volver PodcastEvery meaningful relationship in Volver runs between women. Raimunda and her daughter Paula protect each other through the film's darkest turn. Sole and Raimunda circle each other with the friction only sisters manage. Above all, Irene's return forces three generations to confront secrets that shaped them all.The panel unpacks how Almodóvar stages forgiveness as the film's true climax. Specifically, they discuss the confessions between mother and daughter that reframe everything before them. Inkoo brings a critic's eye to Cruz's performance, which anchors the whole ensemble. Moreover, the group considers how the film honors caretaking as heroic labor. Cooking, cleaning, and burying become acts of love here, not background noise.Ugh, Dudes: The Men of VolverThe men of Volver are a rogues' gallery of predators, cheats, and dead weight. Consequently, the Volver podcast panel dedicates a full segment to asking a simple question. Why does Almodóvar write men this way, and what does their awfulness reveal?The panel argues that the film's male characters function as weather, not people. They cause damage, and then the women clean up after the storm. By contrast, the women get every ounce of the film's interiority and warmth. The crew debates whether this imbalance is a flaw or the entire point. Nevertheless, everyone agrees on one thing. The dudes in this movie? Ugh.Rushmore: It GirlsPenélope Cruz became a global It Girl on the strength of this performance. Therefore, the crew carves a Mount Rushmore of It Girls in her honor. Greg, Mike, and Inkoo each argue for the four faces that defined It Girl status across eras. The picks range from obvious icons to deep-cut favorites, and the debate gets appropriately heated. Listen to the episode to hear which four faces make the mountain.The Five on This Week's Volver PodcastThe episode also features The Five, a recurring segment built on movie archetypes. The panel receives five iconic character types and must argue for the 2006 star who best embodies each one. This week's archetypes are a murderers' row: Scout Finch, Batman, Ripley, Robin Hood, and Frankenstein's Monster.Consequently, the debate ranges across the entire 2006 landscape. Who carries Scout's wide-eyed moral clarity? Which star wears Batman's brooding armor? Moreover, who earns Ripley's steel, Robin Hood's roguish charm, or the Monster's tragic misunderstood soul? Greg, Mike, and Inkoo each make their cases, and the picks get delightfully contentious. The answers stay spoiler-free here, so hit play to hear who claims each archetype.Why Volver Still MattersVolver endures because it treats ordinary women's lives as the stuff of grand cinema. Twenty years later, its blend of melodrama, comedy, and ghost story still feels singular. Cruz's Oscar-nominated turn opened doors for Spanish-language performances in Hollywood's biggest categories. Furthermore, the film cemented Almodóvar's late-career run as one of world cinema's great streaks.The Volver podcast conversation makes the case that the film's warmth is its weapon. Plenty of movies mine grief for devastation. By contrast, Volver mines grief for connection, and that choice keeps audiences returning. The title means "to return" in Spanish, after all. Great films do exactly that.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movies of 2006: Intro Part 12006 Bracket Reveal and Sweet 16Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story2006 Mixtape Part I2006 Mixtape Part IIBrickThe Puffy ChairThe Devil Wears PradaLittle Miss SunshineThe PrestigeBoratAll Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: Volver Podcast and FilmWhat is the Volver podcast episode about?In this Volver podcast episode, Greg and Mike from Movie of the Year discuss Pedro Almodóvar's 2006 film with guest critic Inkoo Kang.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the value proposition that has his attention in 4 more advanced junior gold and copper exploration and development stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.   The companies we discussed in the interview are:   Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) – On August 4, the Company reported one of the highest-grade-thickness drill intercepts to date from the Joss area at the Company's Beartrack-Arnett located in Idaho, U.S.A. This year's 5,500-meter drilling program at Beartrack-Arnett targeted the potential expansion of high-grade underground sulphide Mineral Resources, last drilled in 2022.   Hole BT26-255D intercepted: 3.43 grams per tonne ("g/T") gold over 131.7 meters drilled width at 543 meters downhole; including a high-grade interval of 6.56 g/T gold over 42.5 meters drilled width at 632 meters downhole, including 11.58 g/T gold over 12.1 meters drilled width1 at 639 meters downhole.   Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG, OTCQB: WGLIF) - On August 4, the Company announced assay results and mapping interpretations for the first of three trenches completed over the SSD Target (“SSD”) at the Company's Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, NV. The 177-metre trench – part of Westward's 468-metre program in advance of drilling – was completed near the Roberts Mountains Thrust and five gold zones were identified in the trench (using a cut-off of 0.14 g Au/t); including a significant sub-interval of 13.4 metres of 6.55 g Au/t, within 34.8 metres of 2.84 g Au/t. The ability to produce high-grade gold is a notable characteristic of major systems in the Cortez District.   Miata Metals Corp. (TSXV: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQX: MMETF) – On July 29, the Company announced that La Mancha Resource Fund SCSp, a fund advised by La Mancha Resource Capital LLP, has via its subsidiary agreed to upsize its previously announced strategic investment in Miata accordingly. La Mancha will purchase, through a non-brokered private placement, 32,390,229 Shares at a price of C$0.41 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$13,279,994, to maintain its pro forma strategic investment of 19.9% of the Company.   Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF | Frankfurt: I91) On July 30, the Company announced the completion of the initial phase of its planned 2,500 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Osiris copper–gold project in central British Columbia, originally announced on June 8, 2026. Follow-up plans include testing additional, recently upgraded drill targets.   The Company has completed eight drill holes totalling 2,079 m at the Camp target within the Osiris Project. Based on this initial drilling, the Company interprets the Camp target to host an alkalic copper-gold mineral system with geological similarities to the Mount Polley and Mount Milligan mines in British Columbia.       Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website   * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Who believed in you before you could believe in yourself? In this Deep Dive, documentary filmmaker Christian Taylor makes a quiet case that we rarely overcome self-doubt on our own. Almost no one finishes anything hard alone. Someone has to see it in you first. This is a reflection on the power of belief, on the kind of encouragement that shows up right when you are ready to quit, and on how a few honest words can help a person keep going and change the whole outcome of a life.This Deep Dive grows out of Documentary First Episode 283 with Joe Amodei, the veteran film distributor who, after forty-five years of releasing other people's films, finally directed his own: Cold War in Philly. The seed is a story Joe told about his friend Morgan Spurlock, who looked at him and said, "Yes, you are," when Joe insisted he was not a director. Morgan died before filming began. Joe made the film anyway.From there, Christian follows the same pattern through her own life and through stories you already know: the producer Sandy Gordon, who told her she could tell her own story; C.S. Lewis's belief that helped J.R.R. Tolkien finish The Lord of the Rings; Emmy Werner's forty-year Kauai study on the power of one caring adult; Fred Shero and the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers; the BELIEVE sign in Ted Lasso; and the Christmas her young son Hunter talked her out of quitting The Girl Who Wore Freedom. The throughline: belief usually arrives from outside before it grows from within, it works by being repeated at the moment you want to give up, and it is something you can hand another person for the price of a sentence.In this episode, Christian explores:Why we so often cannot see in ourselves what other people can see plainlyThe difference between belief that gets you to the starting line and belief that gets you to the finishWhy encouragement has to be repeated, not announced onceHow Morgan Spurlock's belief outlived him and finished Joe Amodei's first filmWhat C.S. Lewis's encouragement had to do with Tolkien finishing The Lord of the RingsThe single factor that most helped at-risk children thrive in the forty-year Kauai studyWhat the 1976 Flyers and the BELIEVE sign in Ted Lasso have in commonThe Christmas her son Hunter believed in her when she was ready to walk away from her filmThe strange math of belief: nearly free to give, and one of the most powerful things we doTwo things to do this week: remember who believed in you, and become that person for someone elseCHAPTERS0:00 Before You Believe in Yourself2:49 Someone Has to See It First5:37 Encouragement When You Want to Quit8:34 Belief That Outlives Us11:14 How to Believe in OthersFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhy is it important to have someone believe in you?Because most of us cannot see our own potential clearly. We are too close to our own doubts. Belief from a credible person on the outside fills that gap and raises both effort and persistence, especially at the moment someone is ready to quit. Research on self-efficacy and on childhood resilience points the same way: one steady person who believes in you can change what you attempt and what you actually finish.How do you keep going when you want to quit a creative project?You borrow belief until you can make your own. Nearly everyone who finishes a hard project hits a wall where they are sure it is over. What carries people through is usually not one pep talk but someone who reminds them, again and again, that they can do it. Christian Taylor finished her documentary after her young son repeated his belief in her until she could go back to work.How do you believe in yourself when no one else does?You usually do not have to do it entirely alone. The honest move this episode offers is to remember that someone has already believed in you, even if you have forgotten them, and to borrow that belief until it becomes your own. Recall what they saw in you. And if you feel truly without support right now, become the encourager you needed: the same words that steady other people can steady you when you say them to yourself.Can one person really change your life?Yes. In Emmy Werner's forty-year Kauai study of nearly 700 children, about a third of the high-risk kids grew into capable, caring adults, and the strongest protective factor was having at least one steady adult who believed in them. One was enough. The same pattern shows up in creative work, where a single believer often decides whether a project is abandoned or finished.What does it mean that belief can outlive the believer?It means the encouragement someone gives you keeps working even after they are gone. Morgan Spurlock told Joe Amodei he could direct, then died before filming started, and Joe finished the film anyway. Fred Shero's line to the Flyers, "Win today and we'll walk together forever," names the same truth: the people who believe in us walk with us long after the moment itself has passed.ABOUT THE FILMS AND WORKS IN THIS EPISODECold War in Philly, directed by Joe Amodei (Virgil Films): the story of the night in 1976 the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Soviet Red Army. https://coldwarinphilly.comThe Girl Who Wore Freedom, directed by Christian Taylor: the documentary referenced throughout this episode.Also referenced: La La Land (2016, written and directed by Damien Chazelle); Man of La Mancha; Ted Lasso (Apple TV+); The Lord of the Rings and the friendship of J.R.R.

Send us Fan MailBefore we begin, let me emphasize that today I'll be talking with a wax figure that never existed– In this case, a figure from literature that was never flesh and bone, but the author of the literary work from which she came created a character that is extremely lifelike, and teaches us a great deal about human nature.I know that in the early 21st century, a group of 100 prominent writers selected Don QUIOXOTE as the greatest novel of all time. In the novel– If I remember correctly–the author Miguel de Cervantes shows the negative consequences of following a way of life that is completely out of touch. He reminds us that even a supposedly intelligent person can become completely foolish in the character of Don QUIOXOTE of La Mancha.I met that individual last night–or at least a wax figure of that character, and I knew that something was unusual when I saw that he was dressed in armor–that this could be a person or character who was following a way of life that was completely and unrealistically old-fashioned.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Why does it take between 150,000 and 200,000 flowers — and up to 470 hours of human labour — to produce a single kilogram of saffron, and why has the plateau of La Mancha been the place where that labour happens for over a thousand years? What did the Moors actually bring to Spain, and why does every Spanish cook who reaches for the azafrán, the arroz, or the aceite speak a culinary history that maps directly onto what happened in those Andalusian fields between 711 and 1492? And what is the specific, irreversible tragedy of expelling the people who know how to maintain an irrigation system?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Spain and the Arab Agricultural Revolution — the acequias, the Morisco expulsion, and the red-gold threads still harvested at dawn in La Mancha by the same method the Moors left behind...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

En Luxus Mensae viajamos esta semana a Canarias para descubrir una cocina única, moldeada por la tradición guanche, la conquista castellana, la influencia portuguesa y los intercambios con América. Del gofio a las papas arrugadas, los mojos, los quesos de cabra y los vinos de malvasía, recorremos la historia gastronómica de unas islas situadas en el gran cruce de caminos del Atlántico. En Lee la etiqueta analizamos una polémica sobre el queso manchego y los límites de las denominaciones de origen: ¿puede evocarse La Mancha sin pertenecer a su DOP? Y en El cierre regresamos al antiguo Egipto para conocer una factoría de procesado de pescado descubierta recientemente en el delta del Nilo, un hallazgo que vuelve a recordarnos la profunda conexión alimentaria de todo el Mediterráneo.

M51 La memoria de la tierra, secretos de la Mancha que aún respiran, VILLARUBIA DE LOS OJOS. Viajamos a Ciudad Real, a la llanura manchega, donde el paisaje guarda más de lo que aparenta. Una tierra de paso, de historia acumulada y de silencios que esconden capas de pasado. Desde este contexto, nos acercamos a Villarrubia de los Ojos, un lugar donde territorio, memoria y misterio se entrelazan en una historia que merece ser escuchada.

Dejamos atrás las cuestas de Almedina, nos quitamos el polvo de La Mancha de las solapas, y giramos el volante hacia el este. Vamos a hacer unos 90 kilómetros gloriosos, adentrándonos en una de las zonas más sorprendentes y desconocidas de la península: la Sierra del Segura. Cruzamos a la provincia de Albacete y, tras unas cuantas curvas en las que el Supermirafiori casi nos pide la jubilación anticipada, nos asomamos a un abismo espectacular. Bienvenidos a Ayna. Ayna tiene 582 habitantes y sus vecinos responden al orgulloso gentilicio de ayniegos. A este municipio se le conoce con el rimbombante pero acertado apodo de "La Suiza Manchega". El pueblo está literalmente colgado de la pared de un cañón profundísimo excavado por el río Mundo. Las casas están construidas en terrazas, unas encima de otras, y si a un vecino se le cae una maceta del balcón, le aterriza directamente en la sopa al vecino de tres calles más abajo. Pero si Ayna es un lugar de culto en la cultura pop española es por un motivo ineludible: aquí se rodó gran parte de la película "Amanece, que no es poco" del maestro José Luis Cuerda. Pasear por Ayna es pasear por un plató al aire libre del surrealismo rural. Tienen hasta un sidecar plantado en un mirador en homenaje a la película. Es un pueblo donde no te extrañaría que los vecinos brotaran de los bancales como calabazas. Históricamente, los ayniegos llevan aquí desde que el mundo es mundo. Literalmente. A pocos kilómetros del pueblo se encuentra la Cueva del Niño, donde hay pinturas rupestres del Paleolítico. Vamos, que hace 20.000 años ya había gente por aquí pintando cabras y ciervos en la pared mientras se quejaban de la humedad del cañón. Su patrimonio natural es apabullante, destacando el Balcón de los Mayas y el Mirador del Diablo, donde te asomas y sientes que te llama el vacío. Sus fiestas mayores se celebran a principios de septiembre en honor a la Virgen de lo Alto. Y lo más espectacular son sus encierros, porque las reses corren por unas calles tan empinadas y estrechas que el toro no sabe si embestir o pedir un piolet. En la mesa, Ayna ofrece comida de la sierra, contundente y honesta. Su plato estrella es el atascaburras. No os asustéis por el nombre: es un puré rústico hecho con patata cocida, bacalao desalado, ajo, nueces y huevo duro. Un manjar que, como su nombre indica, si comes mucho, te atasca hasta el alma, pero te da una energía que subes el cañón del río Mundo haciendo el pino. También bordan el cordero segureño a la brasa.

Salimos de Uclés con el estómago empachado de morteruelo y el alma encogida por el peso de la historia de la Orden de Santiago. Arrancamos el Seat 131 y ponemos rumbo sur. Nos adentramos de lleno en la llanura manchega, recorriendo unos 140 kilómetros atravesando campos de trigo y molinos, hasta entrar en la provincia de Ciudad Real, en la mismísima comarca del Campo de Montiel. Pero ojo, que nuestro destino rompe las reglas de la física manchega: llegamos a Almedina. Almedina cuenta con 489 habitantes. Su gentilicio es almedinense. Y digo que rompe las reglas porque en medio de una llanura donde puedes ver a un perro escaparse durante tres días, Almedina está construida sobre un cerro escarpado. Sus calles tienen unas cuestas que hacen que los abuelos del pueblo tengan unos gemelos dignos de Roberto Carlos en sus mejores tiempos. El nombre no esconde mucho misterio para los que sepan árabe nivel A1: Al-Madina significa "La Ciudad". Y es que esto fue una plaza fuerte musulmana de primer orden. Pero la verdadera explosión de orgullo patrio de este pueblo tiene nombre y apellidos: Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina. ¿Que no os suena? Pues fue un pintor del Renacimiento español que, agarraos, se fue a Italia y trabajó codo con codo con mismísimo Leonardo da Vinci. Sí, un tío de un pueblo de menos de 500 habitantes pintando frescos en Florencia con el genio más grande de la historia. ¡Chúpate esa, Silicon Valley! El patrimonio de Almedina, además de su entramado urbano de "rompepiernas", incluye una iglesia parroquial preciosa (Santa María Magdalena) construida sobre una antigua mezquita, y un puente romano que demuestra que por aquí, antes de los árabes y de Da Vinci, ya pasaban las legiones haciendo el paso de la oca. Sus fiestas grandes son en octubre, en honor a la Virgen de los Remedios, y destacan también por el antiquísimo "Baile de las Ánimas" en Carnaval, una tradición de esas de capa y sombrero que te ponen los pelos de punta de lo bonitas e históricas que son. Si hablamos de meter algo en la andorga, en Almedina la cosa es seria. Pisto manchego elaborado con los tomates de sus huertas (porque sí, en las faldas del cerro tienen agua y huertas, un oasis en La Mancha), gachas de harina de almortas con sus buenos tropezones de panceta, y un queso manchego curado que te pica en el paladar lo justo para pedir otra copa de vino de Valdepeñas.

Part-memoir and part-history, Virginia weaves personal reflection and her memories of growing up in La Mancha – the driest region in Europe – with a meticulously researched anthropological exploration of how water – both too little and too much – has shaped our species.  Mick chats with Virginia about water and how it connects us to our oldest ancestors, from where we were all born in Africa to migration, from myth-making and religion to what our relationship with water means today. English isn't Virginia's first language so a heads up that she pronounces drought “druth” the first couple of times she says it.  The Search for Water: A Human History of Thirst is translated into English by Thomas Bunstead, published by Pushkin and out now.

Olivia joins Justin this week for a Song of the Week special as they deep-dive the stories behind two of their favorite Elvis songs. Olivia's up first, examining Elvis' exellent 1970 cover of Anne Murray's classic country hit "Snowbird" and the tragic story of its songwriter, Gene MacLellan.  Then, Justin saddles up and goes tilting at windmills in an attempt to explore the fascinating history behind "The Quest/The Impossible Dream" from the Broadway musical "Man of La Mancha," which Elvis is most known for having have performed in 1972 at Madison Square Garden, but is also unique in being the only song Elvis ever used to close his shows post-1969 besides "Can't Help Falling in Love." Justin looks back to understand why the song resonated so much with Elvis, why he may have chose to feature the song when he did, what versions he took influence from, how his deeply personal interpretation varies from the many dozens that came before him, and ponder why he stopped performing it. Also explored are the song's explicit ideas of heroism, sacrifice and fearlessness in spite of impossible odds - and the tension and dissonance between that message and Elvis' own human shortcomings.  If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast. Your support allows us to continue to provide thoughtful, provocative, challenging and well-researched perspectives on Elvis's career, his peers and influences, and his cultural impact and legacy.

This is our quest--to follow this star throughout his amazing career: Kismet, No Strings, The Little Prince, and of course Man of La Mancha (and many rarities).

El rol protagónico de La Mancha en el mundo vinícola: "Somos la mayor denominación de origen de Europa, incluso del mundo"

Episodio especial 001 - Don Quijote de la Mancha de Miguel Cervantes - Conmemoración del día mundial del Libro by CCRTV

Mehy Lo Presti joins Payman on the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation that's equal parts origin story and quiet manifesto. Raised in the heartland of La Mancha by a Palestinian father and Italian mother, Mehy arrived in London in 2015 with barely any English, no NHS number, and — as it turns out — very little interest in following the conventional path. He's since built a reputation not just as a restorative associate but as one of dentistry's most creative event and experience designers, currently channelling that energy into Dent Town, a major immersive dental conference launching this September. The conversation ranges freely across the fear culture surrounding the GDC, the science of patient experience design, and the painful economics of putting on events that are actually good — before landing somewhere unexpectedly personal, as Mehy opens up about the impact of October 7th on his family and his mental health in the weeks surrounding his daughter's birth.In This Episode00:00:55 - Introductions00:01:50 - The outsider mentality00:03:05 - Palestinian-Italian roots and growing up in La Mancha00:07:15 - On parenting and giving children freedom00:10:30 - Problems with conventional education00:30:55 - GDC fear culture vs Spain00:37:10 - Moving to London from scratch00:40:20 - First steps in private practice00:41:25 - Master's in aesthetic restorative dentistry at King's00:43:20 - College of Extraordinary Experiences00:48:00 - Patient Experience Design00:49:30 - Designing the ideal squat00:52:55 - Reception as the heart of the practice01:02:10 - Google reviews and the "feel" factor01:04:05 - Associate vs clinic owner01:09:15 - The economics of running events01:17:15 - Events mistakes01:20:50 - Blackbox thinking01:25:00 - Setting patient expectations01:29:20 - Favourite resources01:32:05 - Fantasy dinner party01:36:25 - October 7th, Gaza, and personal impact01:43:00 - Faith, karma, and identityAbout Mehy Lo PrestiMehy Lo Presti is a London-based associate dentist with a master's degree in aesthetic and restorative dentistry from King's College London, currently practising at The Kensington Dentist. A son of Palestinian and Italian parents who met in Egypt and settled in Spain, he grew up in La Mancha before relocating to London in 2015. He is probably best known as the creative force behind Global Dental Collective and the Dental Rama brand, and is now co-founder of Denttown — an immersive two-day dental conference launching in September 2026.

El equipo de Más de uno ha salido a la calle una vez más para celebrar el Día Mundial de la Radio. Alsina recorre Torreburleque, el pueblo de la Mancha que no tiene radio, relata junto a sus vecinos cómo la historia de Luisito desencadenó la desaparición de este medio y asiste a la reinstalación de la antena que permite que se vuelva a escuchar.

Un pueblo que decidió dejar de escuchar la radio hace más de medio siglo… y una historia olvidada que explica por qué. En el especial del Día Mundial de la Radio, Más de uno se traslada hasta Torreburleque para contar cómo esta pequeña localidad manchega vivió 67 años desconectada del medio y cómo sus vecinos intentan ahora recuperar la señal.El programa reconstruye el origen del conflicto, ligado a la historia de Luisito Duque, un joven cantante del pueblo que perdió un concurso radiofónico en los años 50 y cuya derrota desató una indignación colectiva que terminó con la expulsión de la radio. Entre testimonios de vecinos, historiadores y voces míticas del medio, el equipo sigue en directo el intento de reinstalar la antena mientras resurgen tensiones, recuerdos y secretos del pasado.Todo en el marco de una radioficción en el que han trabajado vecinos de Manzaneque, el pueblo real, la compañía de teatro Atenea y algunos actores profesionales, como Emilio García Page."Toda esta historia de Torreburleque era mentira, pero ha estado pasando"

Alicia Parente nos trae la habitual ficción sonora

O início de um novo ano costuma trazer entusiasmo, esperança e muitos planos. Mas como transformar essa energia em ações concretas e significativas? Neste episódio, os professores voluntários Lucas Penna e Danilo Gomes conversam sobre a importância de cultivarmos, junto aos desejos de conquistas materiais, a aspiração por virtudes e transformações interiores. A partir de reflexões filosóficas, eles abordam a diferença entre fantasiar e imaginar, destacando o papel ativo da imaginação na construção de uma vida mais consciente e plena. Discutem também a relevância do autoconhecimento e da hierarquização de prioridades na hora de estabelecer metas — sejam elas espirituais, mentais, emocionais ou práticas. A conversa propõe ainda uma visão integral do ser humano, baseada em tradições filosóficas que compreendem os diversos planos da existência, e reforça que o verdadeiro planejamento deve considerar não apenas o fazer, mas também o ser. Assim, a busca por virtudes como coragem, generosidade e sabedoria torna-se um norte para os nossos ideais mais elevados. Com exemplos da vida cotidiana e referências a obras como Up – Altas Aventuras e O Homem de La Mancha, o episódio inspira uma jornada de aperfeiçoamento constante, com a filosofia como guia para transformar sonhos em realidade e tornar cada etapa da vida uma obra de arte. Participantes: Lucas Penna e Danilo Gomes Trilha Sonora: The Planets - IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity – Gustav Holst (Daniel Brusch)

In The Man Behind the Curtain, a bonus Close Readings series for 2026, Tom McCarthy and Thomas Jones examine great novels in terms of the systems and infrastructures at work in them. For their first episode, they turn to the book that invented the modern novel. Don Quixote, the ingenious man from La Mancha, is thought to be mad by everyone he meets because he believes he's living in a book. But from a certain point of view that makes the hero of Cervantes' novel the only character who has any idea what's really going on. Tom and Tom discuss the machinery – narrative, theoretical, economic, psychological and literal (those windmills) – which underpins Cervantes' masterpiece.
