TOUCHSTONE, WITH IÑAKI MAKAZAGA
Journalist, content producer, communicator, radio host and, above all —and above all—, a travel lover. This is Iñaki, the Bilbao native who is behind Touchstone , a project that started as a travel blog more than a decade ago and that went on to become a lively radio program broadcast on Onda Vasca between 2010 and 2016.

CARLA'S SUITCASE, WITH CARLA LLAMAS
In 2019 he made a long journey through USA , part of him alone. Account Carla, journalist and author of the travel blog Carla's Suitcase , that there came a time during that journey when she got tired of going everywhere listening to music and decided to try livening up her walks with some podcasts. The result? Not only was she completely hooked on the format, but she thought: “And why don't I do this?”.
That was how she, back home, immersed herself for days in a deep analysis that led her to become an expert in microphones and recording programs. Come September, she made the leap: she presented her first travel podcast, a project that in these months has become weekly —In the beginning she published every other Sunday— and in which it tries to accommodate all kinds of content related, not only to travel, but also to entrepreneurship and sustainable tourism.
Interviews, lively talks, advice, warnings, practical information and laughs, lots of laughs. Because if there is one thing Carla is clear about, it is that she wants her talks to be pleasant little moments that make listening happy and motivate you. That they make you have a good time, after all. And believe us: she gets it.

The funniest? what they do from Arminda, name with which they have baptized the latest addition to the family: a van with which they plan to tour Spain —they had already begun to do so, only they had to put their plans on hold until all this is over—and what lies ahead of them in that commitment to continue making travel their lifestyle.

THE TRAVELS OF PACO NADAL
One of the great communicators of our country in terms of travel also recently launched into the exciting world of podcasts. we talk about Paco Nadal, journalist and an absolute lover of radio, where he has been motivating and inspiring his listeners to travel for 16 years in his collaborations with Cadena Ser, the house where he has worked —and continues to do so— together with Carles Francino both in Hoy por Hoy and in La Ventana.
The reason for this jump? "I think it's a perfect means of communication to recount trips because it manages to transport you to distant worlds just with the evocation caused by sounds" he tells us.
That is why he was clear that his evolution would lead him, sooner or later, to bet on this fresh format to which he wanted to give a very personal touch: "Paco Nadal's podcasts are born as audio guides to my favorite destinations. Half an hour of practical and useful information in which I tell what I want and how I want, just as I would advise a friend who asks me for information for their next vacation”.
So far it has been published two episodes dedicated to two of his most beloved places: New York and Namibia. Although the list of corners that is to come, we have no doubt, is infinite. Paco Nadal himself tells us: “This has only just begun!”.
