RAB Ràdio - CONNEXIÓ

RAB Ràdio - CONNEXIÓ is a Catalan-world current-affairs and culture program with an international horizon. Its center of gravity is connection: between Catalonia and Mexico, between exile and present politics, between literary history and the conflicts still shaping public life. The format is measured and editorial. It usually starts from the day’s agenda, then expands into the systems and histories behind it. Mexico is a recurring lens. Recent episodes examine judicial reform, disappearances, the Fourth Transformation, Morena, electoral institutions, environmental challenges, and the cost of democratic processes. The program also makes space for cultural inquiry. A conversation on Carlos Fuentes’s Terra Nostra becomes a broader reflection on Spain, America, mestizaje, racism, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant erasure, and national narrative. The arguments are not hurried. They accumulate. Another episode turns to Lluís Nicolau d’Olwer as a figure of Catalan language, exile, liberty, history, and twentieth-century political culture. The show’s range is wide enough to move from COP30 and climate finance to Mali, Chilean elections, and global apathy in the face of crises. It can also shift into community life, as in its conversation with Fernando Cotera about Barça-Mérida-Yucatán and the experience of living Barcelona football culture from Mérida. That breadth gives the program a distinctive texture. It is not only a bulletin, and it is not only an interview show. It is a forum where news, history, identity, and civic argument share the same table. The tone is formal but accessible, often critical, and comfortable with long explanations. It best serves listeners who want Catalan connection to the world without losing the density of political and historical context.
