Alejandra Angulo, Cillian Shields, and Guifre Jordan take a nostalgic look back at the sporting memories, the opening and closing ceremonies, and the architectural legacy of the epic Summer Olympics of 1992, in the month of its 30th anniversary.
Our journey through the Olympics starts with a banger, the 'Barcelona' anthem by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé. In this episode, you’ll also hear from Olympic medalists, a volunteer during the event, and an official for the Olympic stadium.
This week's Catalan phrase is “això va vent en popa a tota vela”, which means that a project is going well.
