Thing 21

Here is a lession in why someone should look a head at the assignments, because in Thing 19 I said that I was not impressed with "Podshow" or "Odeo" Thing 21 changed my mind. I recently read the book Iberia from James Michener, the book was published in 1969. In Iberia Mitchener talks about his love of Spain and what is right and wrong with the country, he stated that if the country's power remains in the hands of the triangle consisting of the Church, the military and the land families the country would never modernize. Since finishing the book I have planned to see what is happening in Spain today. And there on Podcast.com was a podcast call Notes from Spain.

This podcast is done from a husband(who is English) and wife (who is Spanish) team and they discuss different aspects of Spain from food, business, culture and the Church. I loved it. The podcast that is linked here is about the Spanish tax system, and how each tax form has a spot where a person can give some of their refund to either the Catholic Church or for social issues. It shows that is some ways Spain has not changed much since 1969, but in other ways it has.
