El crimen de Tailandia más famoso de España /The crime of Thailand better known in Spain
Descripción del Episodio
Before you start, HERE is the link to our new course "First Steps to Learning Spanish", if you buy it before Friday 17th, you will have a bonus of 2 Spanish lessons with me 😉!
When I was a child, I loved Agatha Christie novels. The crimes where the murderer seemed obvious, but where Detective Poirot always showed that appearances can be deceiving.
But as I grew up, I became less and less interested in detective stories. And in general the news about crimes etc... are not very interesting to me. They go unnoticed by me.
But it's difficult not to pay attention when something is happening and it's everywhere, in the news, in the magazines, on television....as we say in Spanish "está hasta en la sopa", the literal translation would be "it's even in the soup", and we use it to refer it's everywhere. It's impossible not to see it.
If you live in Spain, you probably know what I'm talking about; if not, I'll tell you in the podcast episode.
A crime in which reality surpasses fiction.
I know many of my students love these themes, so I hope you like it!

Cuando era niña me encantaban las novelas de Agatha Christie. Esos crímenes donde el asesino parece evidente, pero donde el detective Poirot siempre demostraba que las apariencias engañan.
Sin embargo, conforme fui haciéndome mayor, las novelas policíacas me fueron interesando menos. Y generalmente las noticias sobre asesinatos, etc... no me interesan mucho. Para mi pasaban desapercibidas.
Pero es dificil no prestar atención cuando sucede algo y aparece continuamente en todas partes: periódicos, noticias, tv, revistas.... Y eso es lo que ha pasado con el crimen de Tailandia. Como decimos en español, "está hasta en la sopa", que quiere decir que está en todas partes. Es imposible no verlo.
Si vives en España sabrás de qué hablo, sino, te lo cuento en este episodio del Podcast.
Un crimen donde la realidad supera la ficción.
Sé que muchos de mis alumnos son muy aficionados a esta temática, así que, ¡espero que os guste!

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
By shows
In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners.
