The People Will Talk Podcast

Roy hails from Sleepy Hollow, and he now calls Madrid home after a stint living in Manhattan. He is a keen reader and writer, with a book to his name as well as a successful blog and a huge following on Goodreads.
We talk about modern-day mummies, philosophy, culture, and eating sand!
Read his excellent blog and find his book on Amazon.

The story of those who fled. The story of those finding a home in Spain.
Music: Passion by Borrtex.

Yes, yes, we jumped on the bandwagon and did what everybody else is doing.
We asked Chat GPT to give us three ideas for a podcast, and it was duly delivered. So, we are talking about the future, hidden stories, and architecture. As a result, we get to talk about wickedly bad design, war, and the inevitable end of our species.
As an antidote to cold machinery, we recorded this episode in a park, and at the 40-minute mark, we allow a few seconds of bird-twittering soundscape (nod to the last pod) to wash over us.
Good times.
Music: Flute Fleet by Poddington Bear, Hope by Life Saturation, and Circles by Mr. Smith.

Alice in Wonderland has inspired artists endlessly since it was published. But what is down the rabbit hole?
We visit Fundación Canal exhibition "Alicia en el País de las Maravillas", showcasing the story's influence in Dalí, Ernst, Laurencin and Tenniel, all of whom illustrated different versions of the book, as well as their influence in our understanding of Alice.

Music: David Hilowitz - Whimsical Theme #2

We discovered that the great Cary Grant was in a movie that shared its name with our podcast.
With that flimsy premise, we went on a voyage of discovery, encountering German theatre, McCarthyism, flops, LSD and a romantic comedy that still holds up today.
Oh, and one of us mentions that Grant was in Guns of Navarone. In fact, it was Gregory Peck!
