On episode 27 we decided to do a small homage to bookshops by sharing three bookshop stories:
The first one is a small bookshop and theatre in London called Calder Bookshop & Theatre.
The second one comes from a Cuban musician who discovered a book by Julio Cortazar, in a bookshop in Santiago de Compostela, that would led her to a very ambitious musical project.
The third one is from Spanish author & singer-songwriter Isabel Ros-Lopez who we interviewed on episode 19. Isabel talks about Pepe Negrete’s bookshop during the years of Franco’s dictatorship.
