Charlie Sheen Unfiltered: Life Lessons from Fame, Failure & Redemption
Descripción del Episodio
In this powerful and unexpectedly intimate conversation, Charlie Sheen sits down for a deeply human, humorous, and reflective discussion about his life, his rise in Hollywood, the challenges that broke him open, and the purpose he’s living for today.
From growing up around film legends in the Philippines during Apocalypse Now, to navigating fame, public mistakes, reinvention, fatherhood, humor, and legacy — Charlie shares raw insights, unfiltered stories, and the wisdom he gained from both triumph and chaos.
This episode is not about celebrity.
It’s about humanity, growth, identity, and resilience — through the eyes of a man the world has watched for decades.

Espías: clave secreta
By shows
Hay guerras que no aparecen en los libros de historia. Se libran en silencio, en los despachos más discretos y en las calles más concurridas. Sus protagonistas no llevan uniforme. Sus victorias no se celebran. Y sus derrotas, a veces, cambian el mundo. Espías: Clave Secreta es un podcast de Vicente Vallés sobre los hombres y mujeres que operaron en la sombra durante el siglo XX. Topos que pasaron décadas infiltrados en el corazón del enemigo. Operaciones diseñadas para engañar a ejércitos enteros. Traiciones que costaron miles de vidas. Y espías que, en secreto, evitaron una guerra nuclear. Cada episodio, un caso y cada caso una historia que parece imposible y que, sin embargo, ocurrió. Créditos Dirección y guion: Vicente Vallés y Cristina de Juan Narración: Vicente Vallés Diseño de sonido: Andrés Moraleda Una producción de Onda Cero Podcast y Antena 3 Noticias
