Ben,

Do you have the phone # of Cadena Ser?
I was a guest last year and wanted to
connect with them again.

Thanks,

Felicidades, Ben! eres el pionero en esto, y estoy de acuerdo con uno de los comentarios que he leido en la página (que me encanta, por cierto), que eres como el Hemingway de las nuevas tecnologías
He escuchado la entrevista en diferido, y me ha gustado mucho.
Animo!! y mucha suerte!!

I wonder if your dentist was listening and shaking her head at your poor accent

I actually thought you were kidding when you said you were not Spanish! I have taught Spanish in Australia for several years and, believe me, I haven’t got any student speaking Spanish as you do (even among those who have been studying for ages or have spent a long time there). Pol is right: you need to tell English people that CADENA SER is not just “a radio station” and the program “La Ventana” is indeed a very well respected program! If I have broadband Internet in Oz is because I couldn’t live without listening to it!
Congratulations on your website and podcasts.

Thanks for all the comments from those of you that heard the Ser interview. The whole experience certainly boosted my Spanish speaking confidence – if I can cope with that then I can cope with just about any Spanish speaking situation from now on! I’ll defintely follow up some of your ideas for the Bernabeu cast Pol, though it may not happen for a while yet, hopefully before Christmas I’ll get to a game.

Hi Ben,
Maybe you should’ve pointed out here, that Cadena Ser is not the local amateur radio station in the neighbourghood, in fact it is the biggest nationwide station in Spain, with, by far, more listeners than any other station here.
I can’t wait for your next podcast in the Bernabeu Stadium. I think you should consider focusing more on everything surounding the game (people going to the stadium, nearby bar conversations prior to the game, how to buy a ticket…).
Good luck.

Hey Ben, I just wanted to let you know that you did an amazing job in the interview. The first thing I thought was how hard it must be to be interviewed live over the phone in another language. I’m a native Spanish speaker who is fluent in English but I still don’t know if I could master an interview over the phone as you have. Then again I don’t know why a radio station would be calling me! It was a great way to promote your website and podcasts. I will make sure to tell all my friends who have great interest in Spain.
Zorionak (Felicidades)!!!!

Hola Ben, yo también escuché la entrevista en la SER. Entré en tu página al instante y, desde entonces, he vuelto a entrar varias veces, hasta esta ocasión en la que veo que has puesto la noticia de la radio, me ha hecho mucha gracia. Estuviste muy bien, y la web me parece una idea fantástica. Animo con ella!

Un saludo.

Ben, your podcasts and blog are doing for Spain what Hemingway’s books did! For those of who know Spain, listening to your podcasts makes us long for the day we return. For those who have never experienced Spain, they serve as living travel guide that capture the true essence of Iberia. Something that can never be related in any travel book.
Great interview.
Thanks for sharing Notes From Spain with all of us.
