"Tamayazo. The Podcast and '100 Years of Radio' - nominees for Prix Europa 2025, as featured on our site"
In a captivating exploration of Spain's radio history, the Lab of a renowned website has launched a digital escape room named '100 años de radio'. This innovative project, a production of RNE Audio, is a celebration of the centenary of radio in Spain.
The podcast is not explicitly attributed to a specific person in the provided search results, but it values radio narrative and pays tribute to outstanding radio voices such as Luis del Olmo, Elena Francis, and Cirilo Rodríguez.
'100 años de radio' reflects the passage of time through the aesthetics and technology of its rooms, taking the user on a journey from the birth of radio to the present day. Each room offers interactive objects and riddles guided by several audios, creating an immersive experience.
The digital escape room, in collaboration with the Archive of Radio Nacional de España, travels from 1924 to 2024, showcasing over 150 audios, including ads from the era and voices of renowned figures like Albert Einstein, Juan Ramón Jiménez, and Dolores Ibárruri.
However, '100 años de radio' is not just a historical journey. It is also a political thriller that delves into one of the biggest political scandals in Spanish history. On June 10, 2003, two Socialist deputies, Eduardo Tamayo and María Teresa Sáez, left the Madrid Assembly before it was constituted, preventing Rafael Simancas from becoming president of the Community of Madrid.
The podcast, a 10-episode series, investigates the never-investigated escape and the questions that have remained unanswered for more than two decades. It features the voices of more than 60 interviewees, including Eduardo Tamayo, María Teresa Sáez, Rafael Simancas, Esperanza Aguirre, and Fausto Fernández.
'Tamayazo. The Podcast', as it is titled, has received critical acclaim. It won the Global Ondas Podcast Award in the Best Script category on July 9 and is nominated for the Prix Europa 2025 awards in the category of Best Audio Investigation. The jury praised the podcast for its "deep look at a historic episode with a script that maintains its relevance 20 years later."
In a testament to its quality, 'Tamayazo. The Podcast' was produced by Juanjo Cubero and Aitor Sánchez. The podcast is part of a production from the Lab of the website, demonstrating the Lab's commitment to creating engaging and thought-provoking content.
'100 años de radio' consists of 11 independent rooms, each set in a different decade and focusing on the history of radio. The project allows the user to immerse themselves in the history of radio and witness its transformation from a classic radio to a cassette radio, an iPod, or a virtual assistant. This unique blend of history, mystery, and technology makes '100 años de radio' a must-listen for anyone interested in Spain's radio history and the Tamayazo scandal.
