I hope you have your bags ready, as we are going on a specific
trip to Sweden today. Thanks to the podcast, Odin' s Patch welcome
you to the other side of the microphone. On the other side of the
microphone, a project by Jorge Marín grandson in which you will find your daily
ration of metapodcasting with news, events, tools or episodes of opinion in just
ten minutes. Ten minutes, ten minutes. Welcome to the daily meta podcast
par excellence, the one that comes to your players in small pills of between
ten and fifteen minutes daily to bring you news, events, curiosities, episodes
of opinion and also recommended podcasts, as every Monday I am Jorge Marín,
and every Monday I bring you a new podcast or several podcasts at once so
that you continue to expand your subscriptions so that you never, ever, never
leave without podcasts to listen to. And today I want to start the episode
by revisiting Nordic mythology, because I don' t know if you know the
case of Odin, the father of all the gods, the one who ripped
one eye, specifically his left eye, to obtain infinite knowledge. That was,
let' s say, the blackmail that made him pamper so that he
could lean into his well and thus grasp all the infinite knowledge of the whole
universe, of all mythology. And, well, a small Nordic account that
also gives name to the podcast that I bring to you today. Today I
want to talk to you about Odin' s patch, the project of Rubén
Pascual, an ophthalmologist of Spanish origin who moved to Sweden and once there decided
to start recording a podcast. Let' s say to compare society, culture
and living, being a resident of Spain comparing it to being a resident of
Sweden. Thus, comparing culture, society and the difference between these two countries
which, although we are close, logically differentiate us from many things that we
all belong to Europe, because Spanish society is in one way, Swedish society
is from another. And finally, in this podcast he talks about health,
culture, society, gastronomy, but also about his personal aspect. It is
a kind of personal diary that week after week brings us both thoughtful episodes,
as, for example, the last one that tells us about music. The
music that has changed in recent years, although about ten, fifteen, twenty
years ago, we all bought CDs and make a few more tapes and make
a few more vinyls. But nowadays no one or almost no one buys music
in physical format for not talking about movies or series or even video games,
video games. Maybe they' ll save a little bit. But let'
s say delegate to the streaming platforms this power and now it' s becoming
a little bit ours against this chapter. The truth has led me to reflect
a little, as did the previous one, which I devoted to taxes in
the case of Sweden. Well, the taxes are progressive, although in Spain
we also have something similar, but he compares us how it is taxed in
this country, unlike in Spain. And it does a little reflection on how
much is worth working, because already from x amount of money raised, because
you have to tax more, diputate less. And, well, I recommend
you listen to this chapter as well. How I also recommend you to listen
to the previous one dedicated to Swedish restaurants, which was why I arrived at
the Odin Patch. It turns out that Dani Aragay, through his podcast doing
the Swedish, asked a question to Rubén Pascual on Odin' s patch and
recommended his podcast. So, thanks to this little game Dani recommended Rubén.
Rubén has recommended another podcast and this little game has motivated me to recommend Din
' s patch for you to listen to. In this case, in the
Swedish restaurants they tell us a curious way that they have in Sweden to charge.
Let' s say to all the people who want to eat in a
restaurant, to all the customers who are going to go through these hotels,
they do it in a way quite different from Spain, although in Spain I
think we could not apply it for different reasons. In fact, here comes
another podcaster that is José in front of the client who gives Ruben more reasons
not to say the reasons why this system could not be applied in Spain.
But, well, I' m talking about the DN patch and I don
' t want to go over all this in chapters of ten, fifteen twenty
- five. There are no more than twenty- five minutes. There you
will have weekly episodes, I say between fifteen and twenty, twenty- five
minutes. With this comparison of Spanish society in Swedish society it has chapters of
everything, from the fauna urna, the thermal sensation that you live in a
country like Sweden, the ideology of that old Europe that you live there.
Being a foreigner in Spain and being a foreigner in Sweden, depending on the
use of the mobile phone. In short, as you always see, the
fact of the comparison between Spain and Sweden is present, but it is still
a personal diary, a personal diary that from here I recommend if they steal
a greeting from Spain to go to Sweden. I' m gonna send you
a bunch of listeners. Thanks to the Polding that you will find in the
notes of the episode so that whatever podcast platform you hear or rather, that
you consume you can listen to the Odin patch, the podcast recommended on this
Monday Podcastern Top. And now I say goodbye and how every day I go
back to that place where you are right now on the other side of the microphone.
