Another great podcast and the accompanying pictures illustrate it well. I was not suprised by the number of times that you have family occasions over Christmas and the New Year in Spain. I’m sure alot of other cultures/countries do as well. It’s just that we Brits have never been good at that sort of family thing and a Christmas Day and Boxing Day with the family inevitably leads to arguements and bad feeling – probably the drink thing again.
I’m looking forward to the New Years Eve podcast.

I enjoyed the podcast. It sounds like it’s getting quite festive in madrid right about now. I hope we hear from you again before the holiday season is over. Very Nice.

Hello Ben!
I jsut can comment this podcast now because I finally got internet again.
Well, I have been to Madrid at the beginning of december and I went to Plaza Mayor with a friend of mine. Both of us are German, I must say, so there was no way we were prepared for what was there to be seen.
I think for us it boiled down to pretty much 3 things, Carneval, Street Party and Christmas market. it was really strange. I have never seen such a thing before.
It was nice ot see different things though.
one question: what do you use to record your podcasts?
