Thank you all for your feedback, I really appreciate it.
- Leñador: I don't agree with what Javier Conde says, I think you can have a deep flamenco sound if you study and practice, regardless of your birthplace, but that's his opinion. :)
- Piwin: thanks for your comment. I don't know if "effeminate" is the right word but I think that today flamenco is much softer, wich I don't enjoy very much
* Yes it's a computer generated voice (LOL) I couldn't find anybody to do that in English so I thought that could be funny
* Thanks for your advice on the "breaking news". I'm learning English by listening to some podcasts and radio stations and I took it from there, I thought it had a different sense. Is it ok if I say "let's talk about the latest flamenco news/events?" :)
* I also enjoy gossip and the personal stories, but they usually give you like...10 minutes for the interview, so the environment doesn't help, but I'll try it if I find the right moment. Once I tried to start an intervew with personal thoughts and stuff and it was a disaster, I'll tell you some day :)
- Thank you, Goldwinghai, I hope that next episodes will be better
- Thanks Paul Magnussen. I should have been more specific and say "a podcast in English" (because I already have a radio show in Spanish). "Nuestro flamenco" is more than a podcast, it's a radio show that you can find on RNE (the Spanish public radio station) and it's probably the best flamenco radio show. I met Jose Maria Velazquez-Gaztelu once and he is a very nice, polite and down-to-earth person. I respect him very much.
And yes, in Spain we don't use these <<quotation marks>> very much. We use "these ones" and we think that the English quotation marks are 'these ones' :)
Thank you very much for all your comments. Making that podcast was not easy because I don't even have a computer and I'm always asking for somebody to let me use his/her laptop, recording things with a cellphone and things like that :)
And now, let's start doing the second episode! ;)

Yeah I know what you mean about the "softer" play. I just don't think it applies to all contemporary players. To some, definitely. What I worry about more is how some players seem to get lost in the "technical" aspect of things to the detriment of any form of story-telling. For instance, the Habichuela nieto kid has amazing technique, but everytime I hear him play it just goes way over (or under) my head. It's like sure, nice picado, but what are you telling me with all of this? what's the story?
- to be fair, a lot of journalist today sound like they have a computer generated voice too! Some of the intonations just suprised me ^^
- Yeah "let's talk about the latest flamenco news/events" sounds find. You can also "cover", "go over", "run through" the news among other things. Your English is really good and as Lenador said it really wasn't a bother, I just find that, as a foreigner in Spain, you reach a point in a language where people stop correcting you so it makes it hard to improve. I have to ask people here repeatedly to correct me or else they just won't do it and I'll be stuck at the same level I'm at today.
-Oooh sounds like there's a juicy story there!  Yeah I kind of figured there were also practical constraint like time, was just a suggestion if it were possible.
Also, Kudos for managing to make a podcast without a computer!!
