Historyas
Historyas is a podcast for anyone who uses English to communicate or to learn, and wants to practice Spanish through storytelling, the way language has traveled through tales for thousands of years. Each episode is one story, a legend or an intriguing scene from history, with you at the center of it, whispered in your ear. Expect a supernatural, macabre edge: witches on trial in the Basque mountains, a werewolf standing trial in Galicia, ghosts, hauntings, and the things nobody could fully explain.

A story told in English and Spanish, for learners and for anyone who simply likes a good story.
