The real story behind 'Succession', the return of Manuel Bartual and a plea against suicide, recommended podcasts of June

Against suicide

This project of journalist Pablo Montes began with a coup. A coup at nine o'clock at night one day in late March 2020. His upstairs neighbor, fifth A, had thrown himself into the inner courtyard. In Spain, 11 people commit suicide every day (more than 4,000 a year) and it is the leading cause of unnatural death among young people and adolescents. We have already told it once in this space, but it does not hurt to remember it and Montes does it very well in Sobre Vivir, which aimsto contribute to ending the taboo and stigma surrounding mental health in general and suicide in particular. With testimonies from survivors, relatives, psychologists, psychiatrists, associations, political representatives or journalists. The first chapter is now available on SER Podcast.

Latin America's Terror Myths

Manual para ser Juan Helsingis a mystery space that raises the fiction of an anthropologist, Juan Muñoz, who has answers to strange questions: what is the term of the favorite meat of a chupacabra, what toothpaste has to use a lobisón, things like that. From all corners of Latin America he has been called to calm the most disturbing monsters, ghosts and creatures. But John is no longer able to continue his work. Now he must hand that knowledge over to Simona Ojeda, a stubborn and haughty content creator who must get rid of a monster that changed her life forever. Produced by the interesting Studio Ochenta.

Daughters of his generation

Ciberlocutorio is not exactly new, but it never hurts to remember the contemporary classics of the conversational format of Radio Primavera Sound. And this one by Andrea Gumes and Anna Pacheco is. As good daughters of their generation, they tackle together their obsessions, fears and everything you can theorize about for hours, alone or with guests. In their most recent self-therapy they wonder about women's relationship with their own bodies. How do we relate to food? Can we learn to live with our image if we see ourselves every day in selfies and images? How do the canons of beauty of each era mark us?...

Hacker terrorism

Is Manuel Bartual the M. Night Shyamalan of the Spanish podcast (and Twitter)? He already has another job with which everyone can answer this question. It is entitled Titania and is a Podium Podcast project that he directs himself and that he has created and written together with Juanjo Ramírez Mascaró. Alicia is the protagonist of this sound thriller. She has a professional and emotional life that is not problematic, but she is not satisfied. One phone call changes everything, making Alice the perfect target for cybercrime. Data theft, identity theft and everything that leads to this matter serves its creators to turn and turn the plots of this story of which several episodes can already be heard.

Today in Focus looks at the real story behind 'Succession'

Succession fans are still mulling over the end of HBO's instant classic. In this same newspaper we have several articles about it. In the British The Guardian they are also and have gone to the genesis of the matter: analyze the Murdoch family, the real saga in which Jessie Armstrong's series is inspired. In one of the recent episodes of his daily space Today in Focus highlights the many parallels between the fiction of the Roy and the family of the nonagenarian tycoon. Paddy Manning, author of The Successor: The High-Stakes Life of Lachlan Murdoch, which focuses on the son best positioned to inherit the throne, tells newspaper correspondent Michael Safi.
