Wrapped up
Francoist marriage advice and the savior complex
From Marge Simpson to Liv Strömquist, passing through the Elena Francis advice column
09/10/2026 - 21:32 h.
Messy conversations about love (in all its forms), entanglements, and pop culture with cultural analyst and communicator Estela Ortiz and psychologist and sexologist Beti Badia.
In this first episode, we look at Marge and Homer Simpson's relationship as an example of the famous "I can fix him" myth (or how the savior complex makes us lower our romantic standards). Furthermore, we travel back in time to recover the most unusual responses from the Elena Francis advice column during the Franco regime and we finish by recommending the series Samuel and the graphic essay I Don't Feel Anything, by Liv Strömquist.
Every first Friday of the month you will find a new episode on all platforms: Ara.cat, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.
