      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/4684b08c-5169-4391-b5e1-d67530bbad85_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x588y280.png" /></p><p>Three episodes of <em>No se n'ha parlat prou</em> have already been broadcast on La 2 Cat, a new format that, according to the press releases for its premiere, offers "a different look at current affairs, focused on what often remains outside the media spotlight." Considering the program's title and this approach, the topics they have addressed provoke a certain bewilderment: Sant Jordi, Donald Trump, and the Barça-Madrid match. It's fortunate that the look was supposed to be at what is on the margins of the media. It would be difficult to find topics that have been talked about more.They insist a lot on this “different perspective”: “a different space for conversation to approach current events in a different way too”, they say at the beginning. Or that it “looks for the cracks in current events and focuses on issues that remain in the background”. But no matter how much they repeat it, the harsh reality is that it is a discussion panel, which is not exactly the height of originality today. A conversation around a table, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, moderated by the always efficient Laura Rosel. Of the relaxed tone, we could also say “little effort” on the part of the participants. Some collaborators rotate, others repeat depending on the week or can perform complementary roles. One of the usual guests is Jordi Basté, omnipresent on the chain, who has placed himself among the cast of signings, because the program is from his production company. Since not enough has been said about anything on <em>El món a RAC1</em>, it needs an extra dose on La 2 Cat. This climate of relaxation has, however, some collateral damage: there is always a moment of what we could call conversational <em>cunyadisme</em><em>conversational</em>. With a few exceptions, the argumentative proposals are characterized by obviousness, commonplaces, and easy contributions. Perhaps the most original detail of the approach are the mobile phone holders they have on the table, which incorporate the phone as an undeniable appendix to the dialogue between humans.In the conversation, a prominent figure linked to the program's central theme is integrated in a second part for Rosel and the collaborators to interview. This is, undoubtedly, the most unique part from a television perspective. There is also an analysis section titled <em>Has it been talked about too much</em>, which serves to continue discussing the same topic, creating an infinite loop that contradicts the program's theoretical objective. Another cliché is the dose of humor that must season any format, performed by a street reporter, Víctor Lafuente, too worried about being funny. An informal musical performance serves to bid farewell to the program.The will to be different from <em>It has not been discussed enough</em> is limited to an aesthetic issue. The comfortable and elegant space, the warmth of the lighting, and a circular layout mark the visual differences. What is not discussed enough is the enormous difficulty for television to dare to talk about different issues and, above all, from an expert perspective.</p>]]></description>

Ten seconds of time. The new contest <em>Rescat</em> wants to make the viewer play with language, so that they test not only their lexical knowledge, but also creativity and the ability to bluff opponents. The new format from La 2, presented by actor Peter Vives in his debut as a master of ceremonies for a contest, will occupy the schedule from eight thirty to nine o'clock, every day from Monday to Friday until the summer. It premieres this Thursday and, for now, there will be 60 programs, awaiting whether this production by La Manchester, Ricard Ustrell's production company, takes root and gets renewed.</p>]]></description>

The former husband of Princess Cristina and former FC Barcelona handball player gives the interview after being released from prison, where he served time for the Nóos case. This is the first time Urdangarin has given a personal interview, away from the sports or institutional spotlight. Over 50 minutes, host Basté will attempt to create an unfiltered portrait of the former son-in-law of the King Emeritus. The goal is to capture real, spontaneous, and natural moments that allow viewers to get to know the guest as he is in his daily life. The program also features appearances by friends, family, and associates who will help to build broader and more human accounts of the interviewees. </p>]]></description>
