1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,080
For the second consecutive year I have
had the pleasure and privilege of taking podcasting

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,000
to my daughters' school thanks to
the cultural week and it has been a

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:13,640
real honor. Believe me, we
welcome you across the microphone. On the

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:17,440
other side of the microphone, a
project by Jorge Marín grandson in which you

5
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:22,280
will find your daily ration of metapodcasting, casting with news, events, tools

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:30,920
or episodes of opinion in just ten
minutes. Ten minutes, ten minutes starts

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:35,079
this week' s fourth edition of
the podcast. On the other side of

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,600
the microphone my space. I sound
that every day, in just ten fifteen

9
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:44,439
minutes offers you a new metapodcasting relationship
with news, events, curiosities and personal

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,359
experiences. Because today I want to
talk to you about an experience I lived

11
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:51,840
two three weeks ago at my daughters' school Let me introduce myself. I

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,600
am Jorge Marín, head of EOVE, producer and I am a complete fan

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:02,479
of podcasting and creation. Sonora said
a couple of weeks ago a very nice,

14
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,760
very beautiful experience, actually, taking
podcasting to my daughters' school.

15
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,680
Every week, each week, they
celebrate a week called the Cultural Week,

16
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:15,439
which I also lived as a child, where numerous activities are carried out for

17
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:21,319
all the resources that are taught there. And well, in these activities there

18
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,239
are sports activities, there are play
activities and there are meetings with some of

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,599
the grandparents that each of the grandchildren
that go to this school. Well,

20
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,120
then, they can invite their grandparents
to know what their classes are like,

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,159
to participate in one of these activities. And there is also another branch,

22
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:45,799
so to speak, of the cultural
week dedicated to communication, to the press,

23
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:52,560
to the field of definitive literature,
because to all the oral expression of

24
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,400
its students. And last year,
if you remember, I brought a chapter

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,719
because we made a podcast series with
the students, my eldest daughter' s

26
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:08,599
classmates, where they performed well every
class, every letter of their course,

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,159
made a different podcast. Some were
about animals, others about sports, others

28
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,319
about already. I don' t
remember exactly the four, but well,

29
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,400
four different podcasts. Each class did
it in a different way, with special

30
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,319
connections, with live music. Well
it was the rather curious truth to realize

31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,199
and on this occasion, this year, what the School Council, the coordinator

32
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,960
of the Cultural Week, Fernando,
if you are listening to me, decided

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,479
to connect this facet of inviting grandparents
to visit the school of grandchildren with the

34
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,919
recording of podcast and what is better
way to ask grandparents through podcast what their

35
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:54,039
education was like when they were young, how they were young, how they

36
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,840
connected with their school, with their
educators, how was life when they were

37
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,840
young? Before we continue, let
me simply leave a minute to tell you

38
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:12,120
about what the sponsor of this episode
is worried about, a program that addresses

39
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,000
issues that concern us and engages us
in our day- to- day lives,

40
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,759
all of us as a society,
from mental health to female empowerment,

41
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:25,719
through technology to their impact on our
lives. And this is just several examples

42
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,000
of everything you' re going to
find there. This project comes to you

43
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,400
every month by the hand of Argal
and through it will pass journalists, psychologists,

44
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,360
communicators, actors, directors, social
media experts, all of them and

45
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,759
they authorized voices and expert voices from
each of their fields. You can already

46
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,159
find the first episode of what concerns
us in Spotify, on the main podcast

47
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:52,000
platforms, on its YouTube channel and, as it could not be less in

48
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,280
the description of this chapter so that
you can subscribe comfortably said that the coordinator

49
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,000
of the cultural weeks had good to
coordinate these encounters with the grandparents. At

50
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:10,120
my daughters' school they invited a
total of up to four grandparents per class,

51
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,879
approximately in classes of twenty twenty-
eight students, because you can imagine

52
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:23,600
the madness that it is to control
twenty- six students between nine and ten

53
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800
years of age when some of their
grandparents are visiting them. When it starts

54
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,439
this cultural week, when it comes
to an activity let' s say more

55
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:34,519
playful, they slip a little of
the classes and do something special. Last

56
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:39,920
year, as I arrived with the
microphones and the speakers and everything, and

57
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,560
for them it was quite an experience
to record the podcast that they had been

58
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,120
preparing for a whole week and on
this occasion, what they had had to

59
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,560
prepare for a few days were questions
addressed to these grandparents who came to visit

60
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:57,399
them and the classes, although the
format was the same in the four classes

61
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,519
that they performed it hears, since
each one prepares a question throughout the class.

62
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,600
Or forgiveness in common. Throughout the
class we prepare questions and then we

63
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,519
' re going to ask the grandparents
who come to visit, because if I

64
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,199
' m honest with you, each
of the classes did it in a totally

65
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,920
different way. Some had an order, others had assigned questions, others asked

66
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,360
questions perhaps not at random, they
did not have them prepared, but they

67
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,040
were passing the microphone from one to
the other. Of course, grandparents also

68
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:31,240
intervened in completely different ways, as
some were more carried away by spontaneity,

69
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,360
others perhaps gave way to each other. There was more complicity among them,

70
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,600
others perhaps because they were less,
as they were easier to answer questions.

71
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,360
It is also true that there was
a certain problem for this, already at

72
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,920
the technical level, a certain problem
for them to be heard well between grandparents

73
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:58,079
and grandchildren, because there are times
that either, some did not approach correctly

74
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,279
the microphone, others maybe, even
had some hearing problem. Grandparents, above

75
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:04,600
all and or did not understand well
what the child embarrassedly wanted to say to

76
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:11,959
them good. The truth is that
they were recordings, that they had some

77
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,439
other difficulty, but nothing that could
not be fixed in edition I also liked

78
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,240
very much because in one of the
classes there is some student with hearing problems

79
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,279
and there was a device that the
grandparents had to put near them, near

80
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,759
the table, so that those people, those children, could listen to them

81
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:31,160
correctly. That was in addition to
the microphones I had put on them and

82
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,560
also, considering, that the children
themselves were also asking them questions. And

83
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,399
a technical challenge. The truth is
that it was a technical challenge on my

84
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,920
part, because listen is not the
typical environment where you record a usual podcast,

85
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,199
just as it happens to me with
the spont niy, for example,

86
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,480
when I will cover another event that
you do not know very well what you

87
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:56,839
will find until you are there on
the ground but if we put in the

88
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,240
equation children on one side and grandparents
on the other, because it is something

89
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,759
curious and the most beautiful of all
we go. I really liked this.

90
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:12,160
On the one hand, it was
the concern that the students showed asking questions,

91
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:16,360
because at first they were all a
little cut, except the grandchildren who

92
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:20,480
were talking to their grandparents, who
were eager to ask, but all,

93
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:24,879
the rest of the students, at
first, because they were more cut,

94
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:29,600
as the grandparents also went loose.
The children were asking, then, the

95
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,399
first thing that came to their mind. And in the end, as you

96
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:36,399
can imagine, because the questions and
imagination of the children overflows and ends up

97
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,639
becoming, therefore, a delight.
A delight for the curiosity shown by some

98
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,480
and for the affection shown by others, the grandparents, you can imagine what

99
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:54,079
it was like to be the protagonists
of these recordings, although for them,

100
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,959
even for me, in the end
the podcast didn' t matter, because

101
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,879
the important thing was that connection,
grandparents and children, of that curiosity that

102
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:13,120
showed some and that desire to tell
their experiences that others had, and it

103
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:15,920
was an incredible feeling to all classes. I ended up telling them because at

104
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:20,759
first it seemed like the questions like
it wasn' t going to give time,

105
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,079
it wasn' t going to be
enough or it was going to be

106
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,360
short of time, something very similar
to when you do a live podcast that

107
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:28,560
you don' t know how well
you' re doing in time. There

108
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480
are times that it is very fast, sometimes you go very slow and in

109
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,559
this case, in each and every
one of the classes. All the children

110
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240
were eager to ask more questions and, logically, the grandparents also told their

111
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,120
own experiences and anecdotes about when they
were young. And what I recommended to

112
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,120
all students is that all these questions
be kept for them to be asked no

113
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,759
longer only to their grandparents, no
longer only to their older uncles or anyone

114
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,080
close to them is an older person, to have conversations with them, to

115
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:05,919
chat with them, to have that
curiosity. Because I' m sure and

116
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,320
the teachers were also right, even
the grandparents themselves, that those grandparents are

117
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,960
eager, eager to chat with their
grandchildren to tell them those stories that they

118
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,679
have told to us all when we
were little and that many times, because

119
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,840
in the rush of the day,
because perhaps our grandfather has told us ten,

120
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,559
fifteen, twenty times, or our
uncle, our oldest, closest person,

121
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,000
has told us so many times that
we don' t pay attention.

122
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,200
However, when circumstances like these days
occur, these four hours of recording,

123
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,080
which some want to hear and others
want to tell, that connection is wonderful.

124
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:50,559
The truth I enjoyed. I enjoyed
the four recordings that were made there

125
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,919
a lot and I already say that
in the end the podcast, the recording

126
00:09:54,039 --> 00:10:01,080
was a simple excuse and they want
to carry false microphones, not to carry

127
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,399
them or connected or anything, planting
them there to the grandparents so that the

128
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,840
grandchildren only listen to them and also
the grandchildren, well, the students have

129
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:18,879
their own little bit of curiosity about
what these older people are telling them,

130
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,120
because there is no need for someone
to come to put some microphones there.

131
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,320
It is not necessary, simply because
you have to enjoy that special moment that

132
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,879
in this case, because it is
the cultural week and it is a special

133
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:33,480
visit that they make to their school. What happens is that on this occasion,

134
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,759
well, it was recorded to participate
in the contest of school podcast organized

135
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:43,279
by Radio and Nacional de España or
Forgive Radio Televisión española. The truth is

136
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:50,679
that I edit it later to fix
it, because you can imagine a wireless

137
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,240
microphone passing through the hands of twenty- five girls for four, good of

138
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,080
almost a hundred boys, because the
noises that were sneaking in. Okay.

139
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,440
We had to do a little cleaning
there about the saying, so that there

140
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:07,759
was something thin. But again listening
to all the recordings come on. It

141
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,240
made me happy. The truth is
that I hope and the school will publish

142
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,279
the whole recordings, or at least
pass them on to the students and grandparents

143
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:20,440
so that they will have them as
a nice memory, because for me it

144
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:22,080
was only my daughter visiting, but
there was neither my mother, nor my

145
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,879
father nor my in- laws.
With the grandparents' part. It was

146
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,200
quite an experience for the grandchildren who
were visited by their grandparents. I think

147
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,000
it would be a nice memory and
a nice detail and sure that the grandparents

148
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,759
also had very good that very good, one more experience, a connection between

149
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:48,519
creators and listeners of podcasts that can
make live and live. And of the

150
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,840
same thing, of this same example, I have spoken to you in the

151
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,919
first edition of my news letter.
Now that you can subscribe via eb is

152
00:11:54,399 --> 00:12:01,200
Barra news Letter. And in this
first edition I wanted to comment precisely this

153
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,879
that podcasting is going to connect people, in this case grandparents with grandchildren or

154
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,399
well, grandparents with students. But
I' ve put several more examples of

155
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,080
friends gathering around a podcast to get
to know new communities, communities that bring

156
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,120
in a podcast just to get the
chance to connect people. And the truth

157
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:28,879
that made me reflect to prepare that
newslette, I had nothing concrete planned.

158
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,080
I didn' t want to start
promoting services or any of this podcast.

159
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,440
And little by little ideas began to
emerge in my head and when I looked

160
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:41,559
back and saw that during the month
of March I had made three very different

161
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,879
live events, in which in all
events people had been connected thanks to this

162
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:52,679
podcasting. I saw it clearly I
said. This is what I have to

163
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,639
comment on in the news letter,
because I think it is the most valuable

164
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,559
thing I have learned, at least
during the month of March, and that

165
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,559
is what I want to transmit to
news letter. Everything I learn thanks to

166
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,480
podcasting, because I try to transmit
it in this case in writing. Thank

167
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:20,080
you for continuing there, as every
very good day and now I say goodbye,

168
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,879
and as every day I return to
that place where you are, right

169
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:31,399
now, across the microphone,
