Christmas cultural recommendations: the must-haves for 2025 | Today in EL PAÍS: your daily podcast

In this episode, we have compiled new recommendations for books, films, series and games. We recorded part of the podcast by walking through the editorial team and talking with comrades who, in addition, sent us audios with their proposals for these meetings.

We talk about some of the books coming to the editorial office, how to deal with current events, and putting together lists of the best books of the year. We also talk about cultural consumption habits, the anxiety of “seeing everything” and how to distinguish three-week fads and works that really last.

We also count on the participation of occasional guests such as the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun. Their recommendations complete this short cultural Christmas guide, designed for those who want to spend time every day, treat themselves to something or simply disconnect during their end-of-year holidays.

This episode features the participation of journalists: Eneko Ruiz, Andrea Aguilar, Ana Marcos, Alejandra Ronda, Juan Carlos Galindo, Antonio Nieto, Enrique Alpañés, Raquel Vidales and his daughter Candela.
