El cafè de la república (The republic's café)

This is the name of my favorite radio show on Catalunya Radio. They broadcast it every weekday night between 9 and 11 p.m. It is a program in which the host, Joan Barril - with a deep, mellow voice - comments on stories in the news of the same day. On some stories they give a lot more information than the regular news programs. They have a part in which they make a poem of some of the news. They have expert columns, some music and a part that is called "today in numbers". In contrast to other formats on Catalan media they have a wider focus than just Catalonia or Spain. And they do not include as many commercial breaks as other programs.
