Have you been on vacation and a bit disconnected? In the first episode of the sixth season of the podcast Revelation or Scam, we review everything pop culture had to offer during the summer break.
We talk about Spain’s victory in the World Cup and how it drew international listeners to Aitana’s ‘SUPERESTRELLA’. We touch on Rosalía’s controversy in Argentina. We debate whether we had a ‘Madonna summer’ or if it wasn’t that big a deal. We cover series such as ‘Tip Toe’ and all the shows that won at the Emmys. We discuss films like ‘Obsession’ or ‘The Loved One’. We examine the controversial adaptation of ‘The Odyssey’. We talk about the best albums that have been released. We recount the concerts by Lily Allen, Morrissey, Kanye West, Nick Cave or Lorde. We discuss disappointments like FKA twigs. We remember those who left us such as Dolly Parton, Bonnie Tyler or Víctor Coyote. We also touch on Lady Gaga’s motherhood.
And finally, at popular request, on the anguished current political situation, on what has happened in Ceuta—from the central government’s mismanagement to the migrant crisis that has claimed the lives of 141 people who seem to matter to no one. Or on the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran’s tour due to Macklemore’s expulsion for projecting images of the genocide in Gaza. We remind you that one of the NGOs helping Palestine cope with the genocide carried out by the State of Israel is UNRWA.
