SBS Spanish - SBS en español

SBS Spanish - SBS en español is a Spanish-language program built around news, interviews, and cultural reporting. Its center of gravity is Australia, but its field of vision is wider. Recent episodes connect federal policy, global conflict, climate science, Latin music, football, and space exploration in a format that feels familiar to radio listeners. The show opens with bulletins and program notes, then moves into longer conversations when a story needs context. It can be brisk. It can also slow down, especially in the Slow Spanish format, where major headlines are delivered at a more measured pace. That slower version still carries weight: court rulings involving Meta and Google, petrol pricing laws, fuel disruption, and warnings from the World Meteorological Organization all appear in the sample. Politics is handled with detail, including coverage of Nicolás Maduro’s second New York hearing and discussion of figures in Venezuela’s governing structure. The program also makes room for cultural life. Mateo Lorenzo appears as a DJ, percussionist, music producer, and promoter based in Perth, speaking about salsa across Western Australia, Cuban nights, timba, and the difficulty of sustaining live music after COVID. Science coverage is similarly conversational. Ángel López Sánchez explains Artemis II, the lunar flyby, the far side of the Moon, NASA history, Chinese lunar probes, and the renewed perspective created by seeing Earth from space. Sport arrives through Hablemos de Fútbol, with Sergio Levinsky giving analysis of football controversies and institutional responses. The program’s most distinctive quality is this breadth without tonal whiplash. It moves from hard news to music to astronomy with the steadiness of a newsroom that knows its audience has many lives at once. For Spanish-speaking Australians, and for Spanish listeners interested in Australia, it offers orientation rather than noise.
