Julio Iglesias is cancelled, the future of Greenland is up for grabs, and the EU doesn't want to do anything about it. In this "Random Thoughts" episode of the Spain to Go podcast, we talk about one of the most famous Spanish singers being accused of sexual assault, about geopolitics, and much more. Take a look at the article on the blog for links: https://expatmadrid.com/julio-iglesias/

It's a strange time to be an American in Spain, with the Spanish media pushing an anti-American narrative almost constantly. In this episode I talk about Donald Trump, Nicolás Maduro, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and what it's like waking up to the hatred of a large part of your adopted country. Interesting times!
