Historian Nagore Irazustabarrena, along with journalist Axier López, begins a new historical podcast. Every week they will focus on the past, turn history into a story and address the most well-known historical passages from where few look, and, if not enough, will voice those that no one has told us. In the first session, for example, he talks about the circumstances of the foreskin of Christ, a valuable relic.
