“Chad Powers: el polvo interrumpido de Disney+” Imagina que estás en medio de un gran polvo, todo entregado, sudoroso, preparado para el momento culminante… y de repente te susurran al oído: “pues ya estaría”. Ni orgasmo, ni cigarrillo, ni mimos. Nada. Eso ha sido Chad Powers. Una serie que te deja a medias como la sinfonía inconclusa de Schubert, como la Sagrada Familia o como la cara de Rosy de Palma: fascinante, sí, pero claramente sin terminar. Hoy en Televisión en Serio hablamos de esta sitcom deportiva de Disney+ protagonizada y producida por Glenn Powell, que nació casi como un primo lejano de Mrs. Doubtfire, pero en un campo de fútbol americano. Una estrella cancelada que se disfraza de paleto sureño para volver al juego.

En esta ocasión, el programa se sumerge en el recién inaugurado Año Gaudí 2026, una celebración oficial que pretende desentrañar —o quizá enturbiar aún más— la figura del arquitecto más enigmático de la modernidad. ¿Fue Gaudí un visionario adelantado a su tiempo, un místico consumado, un genio indescifrable… o todo a la vez? Para ello, Jesús conversa con el escritor y experto Juliá Bretos, una de las voces más autorizadas y mordaces en la obra del creador de la Sagrada Familia. Entre humor, ironía y reflexiones inesperadas, Bretos desmonta mitos, confirma rarezas, aclara exageraciones y abre nuevas grietas en el enigma gaudiniano: su carácter, su espiritualidad, el eterno debate sobre su lugar de nacimiento, su supuesta relación con sociedades iniciáticas y la intrincada historia entre Gaudí, la Iglesia y la construcción del templo expiatorio más famoso del mundo. Tras la entrevista, Teresa José Creus despliega sus habituales propuestas inquietantes desde el más allá, y el equipo remata con su sección favorita: un repaso al universo insólito, cargado de noticias paranormales, curiosidades extravagantes y fenómenos que desafían cualquier explicación convencional. https://www.edenex.es

En este episodio descubrimos que se liga más en un café modernista que en cualquier app, que Gaudí podría ser el típico niño repelente de clase y que los suelos modernistas tienen más personalidad que mucha gente.Nuestro admirado Brontë (aka La Suelos), cuyo padre celestial es el arquitecto Domènech i Montaner, llega cargado de mosaicos para hablar de modernismo, de la Sagrada Familia convertida en la iglesia más alta del mundo y del peligro de perder joyas arquitectónicas del neomudéjar como la Casa Caballero-Magán de Guadix. También nos lleva de ruta por el castillo de Santa Florentina (para Bad Gyal, un plató), por la Casa Navàs, la casa modernista mejor conservada del mundo, el exclusivo Círculo Industrial de Alcoy, los suelos de cerámica Nolla en Meliana o los contenedores de obra de Barcelona. Después de esto no quedan en pie ni las luces de Navidad de Barcelona ni las meninas callejeras madrileñas.Un episodio cargado de arquitectura, política y reflexiones en torno a la protección del patrimonio grabado en directo desde el Teatro del Barrio, en Madrid.

La Sagrada Familia celebrara en 2026 el centenario de la muerte de Gaudí con las obras casi finalizadas. Quedara por concluir la fachada de la Gloria en la calle Mallorca y también la escalinata de la que debería ser la puerta principal del templo, una escalinata que debe sobrevolar esa calle y que supondría, en caso de llevarse a cabo, el desalojo de numerosos vecinos. Casi 300 viviendas en su versión más desfavorable y 90 en caso de que los desalojos se limiten a poco más de dos grandes edificios construidos por Núñez y Navarro. Ayuntamiento y basílica negocian, los vecinos afectados están hartos de vivir en lo que técnicamente se conoce como "en precario", con su hogar afectado urbanísticamente, y acusan a la Sagrada Familia de turistificar la zona los no afectados se solidarizan con el resto.Y mientras en el barrio se discute sobre el proceso final de las obras por la afectación que supondrá a algunos vecinos, muchos turistas pasean por los alrededores con absoluto desconocimiento de la situación.Escuchar audio

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week's episode is mostly focused on an alien encounter known as the Sagrada Família case. A group of children find themselves face-to-face with unearthly one-eyed men who descended from a spaceship. Why did these humanoid, cyclopean extraterrestrials come to Earth? What exactly was their message to these children and what does it have to do with the moon? We also talk about the time 10,000 fútbol fans were witnesses to a flashy, unexplained UFO event. All this and much more!

(Día del Arquitecto en España) En la undécima carta de las veintiuna que conforman la biografía novelada que se titula Yo, Gaudí —escrita por el productor musical barcelonés Xavier Güell, tataranieto de Eusebio Güell, quien financió la mayoría de los proyectos del famoso arquitecto catalán— Antoni Gaudí le escribe a su joven amigo Alfonso Trías acerca del obispo Grau. Gaudí conocía a Alfonso desde su niñez, ya que Alfonso era hijo del abogado Martí Trías, su vecino del Parque Güell. «El obispo Grau fue mi consejero espiritual, además de mi amigo — escribe Gaudí—. Tenía un corazón de oro, y... en cualquier situación, por difícil que fuera, podías confiar en él.... »[Cuando yo me encontraba trabajando en el palacio Güell, Grau me dijo:] “El palacio episcopal de Astorga ha sido reducido a escombros.... Quiero construir un nuevo palacio cuanto antes.... Una vez le oí [a usted] decir que para edificar el templo de la Sagrada Familia se proponía seguir la tradición mediterránea.... Eso es justamente lo que me propongo hacer....” »Acepté el encargo... [y] meses más tarde le envié los planos.... [Pero los] expertos en arquitectura en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid... [consideraron] que en el proyecto había muchos defectos.... Viajé a Astorga bastante enfadado... [pero] a mi llegada... quedé sorprendido al descubrir sobre el terreno que mis cálculos iniciales, llevados a cabo a través de fotografías, estaban equivocados. No me costó reconocerlo, [así que] le dije que haría las rectificaciones oportunas. »Grau me miró complacido [y respondió:] “Compruebo que, además de tener gran talento, es usted humilde. ¡Alabado sea Dios por ello! ... Con [la humildad] la vida se ve de otra manera.... Lo contrario de la humildad no es la soberbia, como se piensa, sino el empecinamiento. ¡Hay tantos tercos en este mundo! ...” »[Yo] no estaba de acuerdo con la última parte de su reflexión —aclara Gaudí—.... Para mí, lo opuesto a la humildad sí es la soberbia. Esta es siempre gratuita y no reporta satisfacción alguna; cuando uno tiene la desgracia de creerse superior es que no lo es en absoluto. Por el contrario, la obstinación, cualidad si no igual al menos parecida a la de la terquedad, en múltiples ocasiones procura beneficios. »Mi vida es un claro ejemplo de ello.... He luchado por ir más allá de lo permitido.... Todo eso habría sido imposible sin obstinación. Te diré algo más: estoy convencido de que sin ella no se puede crear. No enfrentarse a las cosas con obstinación implica pereza, falta de carácter. Cuando uno sabe lo que quiere, se [llena de] entusiasmo; en cambio, cuando duda, no encuentra nunca la hora de empezar.»1 Quiera Dios que aprendamos, tanto de Grau como de Gaudí, que si queremos alcanzar metas grandes y maravillosas, más vale que seamos humildes, poniendo todo nuestro empeño con obstinación pero sin que importen nuestros propios intereses, pues la Biblia dice que «Dios se opone a los orgullosos, pero brinda su ayuda a los humildes».2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Xavier Güell, Yo, Gaudí (Narrativa) (Barcelona: Galaxia Gutenberg, 2019), pp. 135-46. 2 Stg 4:6 (TLA); cf. Pr 3:34 (TLA) y Fil 2:3-11

En total hay 47, siendo la Sagrada Familia de Barcelona y la Alhambra de Granada los dos más visitados.  El español no es el único idioma que se habla en España: en sus respectivas comunidades también se hablan otros idiomas cooficiales, como el catalán, el valenciano, el gallego, el aranés y el euskera, además de otros dialectos. El flamenco es uno de los símbolos españoles a nivel internacional y su origen es algo confuso. La teoría más aceptada es que se originó en Andalucía gracias al crisol cultural de gitanos, árabes, judíos y, obvio, andaluces. Es el segundo país con más viñedos de todo el mundo, ahora se entiende que en España el vino nunca falta! Las tapas son un orgullo nacional. Hay varias teorías alrededor del nombre, pero una de las más convincentes cuenta que en sus comienzos consistían en rebanadas de pan o lonchas de embutido que se servían para tapar las bebidas y así no dejar pasar a moscas y bichos. Cadiz es la ciudad habitada más antigua de toda Europa: la tacita de plata fue fundada por los fenicios alrededor del 1.100 a.C.

Hoy en día, el país cuenta con el rey Felipe VI, la reina Letiza, y sus dos hijas, Leonor, princesa de Asturias, y la infanta Sofía de España.

¿Cómo entender el mundo cuántico cuando no podemos verlo ni calcularlo con un ordenador? Este es uno de los grandes desafíos de la investigación científica, que ha encontrado en la simulación cuántica una de sus soluciones más creativas. Un campo que explora problemas fascinantes con consecuencias muy reales, como la protección de nuestras comunicaciones, la mejora en la precisión de las mediciones físicas o la comprensión de por qué algunos materiales conducen la electricidad sin ofrecer ningún tipo de resistencia. Desde las cuerdas con las que Gaudí diseñó la Sagrada Familia hasta las estructuras microscópicas y su construcción átomo a átomo, la creación de maquetas es un útil y eficaz recurso tecnológico que, además de permitir un elevado control experimental, ha ayudado a desentrañar algunos de los misterios mejor guardados de la naturaleza.A ello vamos con nuestros invitados hoy, Javier Argüello y Alejandro González, autores de Simuladores cuánticos. Construyendo las maquetas del mundo microscópico (Ed. Catarata / Real Sociedad Española de Física / Fundación Ramón Areces) . Investigadores punteros en física cuántica y también, como vamos a comprobar, excelentes divulgadores de este campo de la ciencia tan complejo como fascinante…Fijándonos en lo más microscópico y diminuto, conversamos con Don Víctor desde el Planeta Segovia.Escuchar audio

In one of his final official acts before he died, Pope Francis put Antoni Gaudí, Spain's most famous architect, onto the path to sainthood. Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, is a towering basilica, strangely designed and bursting with colour. It stands in the heart of Barcelona and its walls recount the entire story of the Catholic religion. After 140 years, having survived wars, arson attacks and dictatorship, it is still under construction. As Gaudí worked on it throughout his life, he became obsessive and it intensified his devotion. By the end of his life he was living like a monk. The BBC's Max Horberry has been to Barcelona to see Gaudí's work and speak to the people who have been working to finish the Sagrada Familia and campaigning for Gaudí's sainthood. He finds out more about the path to sainthood and how architecture, nature and religion intertwine in Gaudí's life. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

Payal just stepped into Surarquía's sun-lit workshop near the Sagrada Familia and straight into the story of two South-American dreamers who turned a Barcelona flat into a leather lab. Alejandro (Venezuela) and Felipe (Colombia) swapped architecture sketches for pattern-making, taught themselves to sew, and after kitchen-table prototypes, opened this atelier where every bag is cut, skived, and stitched by their own hands . In 2023 they finally moved the machines out of the apartment and into a purpose-built space, but the process is still gloriously slow and local In today's episode, Payal gets the founders'-eye tour: the vintage Adler stitcher, the splitter that hums like an old Vespa, and the stopwatch that shows why a single Surarquía piece takes an entire workday to earn its seams.

In 1965, a new fibre was discovered by Polish American scientist Stephanie Kwolek. It was called Kevlar and it was found to be five times stronger than steel. Since that discovery it's been used to save thousands of lives through its use in bulletproof vests, but it's also used in hundreds of other products from aeroplanes to protective clothing for motorcyclists. Stephanie was one of the only female scientists working for the chemical firm DuPont and was passionate about encouraging more women and girls into the field of chemistry. Tim O'Callaghan has uses archive of Stephanie Kwolek from 1996 to tell the story of her discovery. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In 1995, an international row broke out between Canada and Spain over fishing quotas. It started with gunfire and ended with a deal.The dispute began after Canada set up restrictions to protect fish stocks, including the turbot. A 320km (200 mile) controlled zone was placed around the country's north Atlantic coast. Fishermen also had to stick to quotas. But, according to Canada, some boats from the European Union were catching far more turbot than had been agreed. As a warning, the coastguard chased off one Spanish trawler, shooting machine gunfire over the bow and arresting the crew. But Spanish officials were furious and denied any wrongdoing. The Turbot War had begun. Brian Tobin was Canada's Minister for Fisheries and Oceans. He tells Jane Wilkinson about the part he played in the dispute.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

It was a week that brought the future of Greece and the Eurozone to the brink. Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending. Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece's young people were unemployed.The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels. He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece's biggest lender Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

When Eva Peron, Argentina's most famous First Lady, died in 1952, her body was embalmed. Three years later, her widower, Juan Peron, was deposed in a coup. But military officers feared her corpse would become a rallying point of protest against the new government. So they stole it. Over the next few decades, Evita's body was stored in several different places in several different countries, inspiring wild stories about its supernatural powers. In 2013, Linda Pressly spoke to Domingo Tellechea, the art restorer charged with repairing the embalmed body.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In 1985, Argentina's former military leaders were put on trial accused of kidnapping, torturing and murdering thousands of their own people. The ‘trial of the juntas' was the first major prosecution of war crimes since the Nuremberg trials following World War Two. Between 1976 and 1983, around 30 thousand people disappeared or were murdered in Argentina during the so-called Dirty War. Military leaders claimed the victims were left wing guerrillas plotting terrorist attacks against their dictatorships, but most weren't terrorists. They were trade unionists or protesters opposing the regime.Luis Moreno Ocampo was an assistant prosecutor during the trial and spoke to Jane Wilkinson about the case.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In July 1985, music legends Mick Jagger and David Bowie were asked to perform a duet with a twist at Live Aid, the biggest concert in pop history. Utilising the latest satellite technology, Mick would perform on the US stage in Philadelphia, while David would perform on the UK stage at Wembley Stadium. As the technical issues were being discussed, it soon became obvious that a half-second delay in the link between cities would prevent the live performance from happening, so a recording was planned instead. A short list of songs was discussed before the duo finally settled on the Motown classic Dancing in the Street. Live Aid press officer Bernard Doherty tells Des Shaw how the duet and video were recorded in just 18 hours and became a highlight of the benefit concert on 13 July 1985.

Judging by how often US President Donald Trump has repeated the slogan “Drill, baby, drill”, you might think he coined it. But the phrase actually dates back to 2008. It was at the Republican National Convention that former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele first used it, arguing the United States needed to become energy independent. The slogan, the result of what Michael describes as a late-night epiphany, quickly entered the mainstream of American politics - adopted by a range of politicians in the years that followed. He shares his memories of that moment with Marco Silva.This programme contains archive from: C-SPAN, PBS Newshour, Fox News, and CNN.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

When the Medellin Metro opened in 1995, the Colombian city had recently been called the “murder capital of the world” due to the high homicide rate caused by Pablo Escobar's drug wars. The network has grown to include a large cable car network which stretches to the neighbourhoods built into the sides of mountains that surround Medellin. It has helped transform the city into a tourist hot-spot – something unimaginable 30 years ago. Tim O'Callaghan has been speaking to Tomas Andreas Elejalde, who is the general manager of the Metro.

In 1949, the Gratitude Train arrived in the United States, made up of 49 wagons filled with thousands of gifts from France.The convoy was a thank-you to American families who'd sent food and supplies across the Atlantic, via a ‘friendship train' in the aftermath of World War Two.It was the idea of a French railworker called Andre Picard. In the same spirit as the friendship train, he asked families across France to make donations.The response was 52,000 gifts that filled 49 rail wagons or ‘boxcars', one for each US state, and to be distributed to American families. Some donations were valuable; a carriage used by King Louis XV. Others were handmade; a knitted scarf or a child's painting.June Cutchins tells Jane Wilkinson about the treasure her family received from the Florida boxcar.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

After the Second World War, in what was then East Germany, or the German Democratic Republic (GDR), tens of thousands of women and girls were forcibly detained and abused in sexual health clinics. In 1977, at the age of 15, Sabine was at a house party in Leipzig when police came for her. She was taken to a so-called ‘Tripperburgen' which translates to ‘gonorrhoea castle'. After 31 days she was told to leave. Research shows at least 10 of these wards existed in the GDR and 70% of the women had not been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Sabine tells Megan Jones about what happened to her, including being subjected to her first ever gynaecological exam. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.
