Podcast El Programa de Sita Abellán

El Programa de Sita Abellán is a Spanish-language cultural conversation show built from nightlife, cinema, camp humor, and obsessive side paths. It behaves less like a tidy interview program than a table where everyone has arrived from a screening, a bar, a live show, or a rumor that needs retelling. The subject can be serious. The rhythm rarely is. Recent episodes move from Manuel Carvallal discussing anomalous phenomena, theology, criminology, illusionism, mysticism, and the practical problem of being fooled by mediums, into very different rooms where people talk about cinema clubs, venues, poker games, and lost audiovisual formats. That range is the point. EPSA treats underground culture as something made by people who remember where they were, who was there, what was projected, what format survived, and which room no longer exists. There is a strong archive instinct beneath the chatter. Betacam, VHS, DVD, Vimeo, FilmAffinity, IMDb, film-library storage, and subtitles are not just technical details; they become part of a larger anxiety about what disappears. The show also has a live-performance current through EPSA is Burning, Kika Halloween, ballroom memories, fashion references, sound checks, audience energy, and conversations that start before everyone is fully settled. Short bits can turn into songs, jokes, or mock phone patter. A grim internet-harassment story can sit near microphone banter and theatrical entrances. That tonal jump is part of its identity, though it may not suit listeners who need careful transitions. The show is at its best when it lets people be funny without sanding off their obsessions. It notices underground scenes without flattening them into museum labels. It likes local names, specific bars, old screening rooms, chaotic friends, handmade events, and the awkward machinery behind live culture. The result is intimate and restless. It is a show for listeners who want culture with social heat still attached.
