The Blue Side of Madrid: Getafe CF with David Pugh
Real Madrid and Club Atlético de Madrid dominate Madrid's footballing landscape, whilst clubs like Rayo Vallecano have the punk football vibe many crave. But a new book from sports journalist David Pugh brings the story of overlooked Getafe CF to the page.
We sat down with David to talk the changing nature of football and what Getafe's rise says about Madrid's changing demographics. You can purchase the book here at :

Firefighters against Evictions: Notes from Puerta del Sol (Housing Protest)
We had a brief chat with Amaya , speaking on behalf of the group Bomberos contra los Desahucios or in English 'Firefighters against evictions' (who were all very shy in English). We found out how the group came to be and the changing nature of evictions in Spain.

Inside Madrid's Housing Protest: Voices from Puerta del Sol.
We spoke with one of the many people camping out in Madrid´s Puerta del Sol in the shape of full time worker Pablo Puertas, as the Government's response to the Maricarmen housing protest starts to dominate the political agenda. We spoke to Pablo about trying to buy a home whilst living somewhere with actual employment, changing Spain's tourism model and what he hopes can be achieved.
Recorded in the evening of Sunday 27th September
