'Tell him to come down, with Quique Peinado', the 'podcast' that makes neighborhood life the homeland

Quique Peinado, a 43-year-old from Madrid raised in Vallecas and a member of Rayo, does not forget that, to meet people, even those we have been dealing with for years, we have to go back to childhood.

His new

revolves around that idea.

If you understand the place and the moment where it all began for someone, if that person explains his past in his neighborhood or in his town, it will be easier to empathize with him.

In each chapter he speaks with time and calmly with his guests about his origins, remembering those moments before, in which the meetings began with a ring on the home phone and with a request to whoever picked it up: "Tell him to come down".

This is the name of this original spot on Spotify Spain produced by Podium Studios, which is already the second most listened to on the platform.

“

And I like the people of the neighborhood and town more.

Interviewing someone is trying to get to know a person you are interested in.

Those who go through

will be people who interest me especially, ”Peinado said last Monday by phone.

The episodes are released every other Thursday and it already has two aired.

The next one will arrive this Thursday, April 21.

Jordi Évole attends the first of them, with whom he talks about his class consciousness and how not to stop being oneself despite achieving fame.

The creator of this new sound space was clear that the Catalan should be his first guest.

“He is someone who has managed to reach the top with things that continue to be identified with his origin, in the aesthetics, the themes and the class perspective that he has”.

).

The 28-year-old Galician remembers her childhood in the Coruña town of Oleiros, known for her statue dedicated to Che Guevara.

His particular relationship with his grandfather, the connection with his mother and the institute where he was bullied, which made him want to go to Madrid to start a new life following in the footsteps of references in the world of humor and scripts such as Ana Morgade, backbone this conversation.

The testimonies about the different childhoods are "a formula that can have a long way to go, that is not exhausted".

Peinado moved years ago to Tetuán, a place half an hour by metro from Vallecas that is not his new neighborhood, but the place where he lives, he says.

But it is the childhood place of his children.

"It makes me sad that they speak of Vallecas in the third person, like the grandmother's neighborhood, but I will not move until they are older," she explains.
