The Alhambra: Uncovering the Secrets of Spain’s Moorish Masterpiece

The acclaimed Spanish-language science podcast “Catástrofe Ultravioleta” will return with a new season in early 2026, broadcast through elDiario.es, according to an announcement made Friday.

The podcast, created by Antonio Martínez Ron, Javier Peláez, and Javi Álvarez, initially premiered in early 2014 and quickly gained a dedicated following. It is known for its accessible approach to complex scientific topics, blending rigorous information with humor and artistic sound design. “Catástrofe Ultravioleta” received a prestigious Ondas Award in 2014, recognizing its innovative format and quality.

Each episode of “Catástrofe Ultravioleta” is described as a “small artistic composition,” featuring original ambient music and sound effects, sometimes evoking the style of classic radio theater. The creators aim to provide listeners with an immersive “mental and sensorial journey” that fosters a love of science and a sense of discovery.

The podcast’s return follows a period of anticipation among its fanbase. According to promotional materials, the show aims to approach reality from “unexpected perspectives.”

elDiario.es has not yet announced a specific launch date beyond “early 2026.”
