Podcast de Font de Misteris

Podcast de Font de Misteris is a program about the places where history, legend, document, and doubt overlap. It has the shape of a Sunday radio hour: greetings to the team, a date on the calendar, a brief look at the wider world, and then a steady turn toward older stories. The range is unusually wide. Artemis II and the long dream of returning human beings to the Moon can sit beside a papyrus in a Biblical Museum, Mesopotamian tablets, or the question of what counts as the oldest preserved document in Mallorca. That mix gives the show its character. It is curious without rushing. Episodes move patiently through archives, books, museum pieces, newspaper reports, old magazines, and oral tradition, letting each source add another layer before the point is made. Some installments lean toward folklore. Follets, barruguets, fairies, rondalles, and shadowy figures near caves are treated as stories with local texture, not as disposable curiosities. Others move into harder historical ground. A program on hidden treasure follows a 1368 document from Mallorca and considers how legend and expense can become tangled. A program on testaments and inheritances reaches into fifteenth-century Menorcan material and later writing marked by religious hostility. The episode on Elisabeth’s captivity among corsairs is especially stark, tracing fear, humiliation, negotiation, and survival through a remembered account. The show’s recurring team gives the material a conversational frame, with questions, recaps, technical pauses, and occasional dry jokes about opened threads that may need another episode. Irene Font’s Contes i Rondalles segment gives the folklore side a familiar return point. Sergio Rigo often appears around historical exposition and source detail. Borja Rigo helps keep the program moving from summary to discussion. The effect is not flashy. It is a layered, local, source-minded hour for listeners who like mystery grounded in place names, dates, documents, songs, and the stubborn residue of old belief.
