Arnau Pericàs (2005), Martí Salvia (2005) and Luana Rocha (2005), are three third-year audiovisual communication students at Pompeu Fabra University who are currently succeeding with their video podcast Guarres!, a program in which they weekly talk about sex frankly, without filters and without fear, in a bold and provocative way..Last year they took the radio class, in which they had to present an audio pilot, and they decided to talk about sex in a theatrical way, with characters from their own fantasy universe. That episode was very different from what we can find on their platforms now, and it received a grade of six out of ten. All three were left with a great desire to apply the professor's corrections, which is why last summer they decided to resume the project voluntarily and extracurricularly. Despite changing the program's structure, they kept the characters of Gina Bashina, Luz Phallus, and Consol Adó.

Although there are increasingly more podcasts dedicated to children, the figures are still far below what is offered to other age groups: only 2% of the podcast programming on the main general audio platforms in Spain is dedicated to children, according to the article. Audio consumption in childhood and adolescence: Radio and Digital PlatformsHowever, it is still unknown to what extent children listen to podcasts because the available data, such as that from the General Media Study (EGM), only includes listeners from the age of 14, which leaves out a whole age group about which almost nothing is known: whether they listen, when they do so, or what podcasts they listen to.

There are particular states of mind that are, in reality, widely shared by society. Exploring this collective dimension of certain ailments is what prompted journalist Antoni Bassas and psychologist Alba Alfageme to sit down together in front of the microphone to create the podcast.
