In this episode of Filling the Sink, writer, publisher and director of the Institut Ramon Llull, Iolanda Batallé Prats, joins Guifré Jordan and Lorcan Doherty to discuss what makes Sant Jordi such a special day and explains how Catalan literature is going from strength to strength as more and more works are published in English translation.

The truth about Catalonia's witches and witch-hunts
Sònia Casas from the Barcelona-based history magazine Sàpiens joins Alan Ruiz Terol and Lorcan Doherty to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the story of witch-hunts in Catalonia.

Pau Castell, a historian at the University of Barcelona who has dedicated his career to studying witches talks about his research. "Filling the Sink" recreates the seventeenth-century trial of Elisabet Cerdana, which took place in the village of Castellterçol in central Catalonia.

The crown in crisis: Corruption scandals rock Spanish monarchy
Spain's royal family has been rocked in recent years by wave after wave of scandal and controversy. The former king, Juan Carlos I, fled to the United Arab Emirates last August amidst ongoing corruption investigations. In this episode of "Filling the sink", Swiss journalist Sylvain Besson describes how he broke the story of how Juan Carlos received 100 million dollars from Saudi Arabia and hid them in Switzerland. Cristina Tomàs White speaks to Albert Calatrava, one of the writers of "The King's Armor" ("L'armadura del rei"), a book that examines how Spain has protected its scandal-ridden monarchy for the past four decades, turning a blind eye to its sins. Guifré Jordan and Alan Ruiz Terol join Lorcan Doherty to discuss the rise and fall of the monarchy, the current crises engulfing the crown, and whether there could be a republic in the future.

First Catalan nanosatellite in space - small step, giant leap or a load of hot air?
As Catalonia launches its first nanosatellite, science writer and educator Joan Anton Català Amigó joins the "Filling the Sink" team to talk all things space. Catalan Digital Policies minister Jordi Puigneró defends the formation of the Catalan Space Agency and explains that it's clearly not "a Catalan Nasa". Alan Ruiz Terol takes a visit to Montsec Observatory and Astronomical Park in western Catalonia, where the nanosatellite -named Enxaneta- will be controlled from after taking off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. And with Nasa's Mars Perseverance rover toiling away on the red planet, Dr Carolina Arnau Jimenez tells Cristina Tomàs White how the European Space Agency's research at the Autonomous University of Barcelona could pave the way for humans to follow suit in the future.
