New 'Filling the Sink' social media profiles launched

Filling the Sink, the Catalan News podcast, has, as of Tuesday, its own profiles on Twitter and Facebook.

The launch coincided with the first anniversary of the project – Filling the Sink published its first episode on October 31, 2020, looking at the impact Halloween has had on the Catalan tradition of La Castanyada.

Presented by Lorcan Doherty, the podcast recently reached the 50-episode milestone. The latest episode looks at the pros and cons of living in Catalonia, with members of the international community having their say about topics including the climate, food, health care, rents, salaries and bureaucracy.
