The Olive Press gang – minus Walt – return for the fifth episode of the Rest is Spain podcast, in association with Staysure Insurance.
This week, Jon and Caroline reflect on a busy couple of weeks – including the Lionesses' fabulous Euros victory over Spain where one former expat played a pivotal role. But attentions soon turn to more serious matters as the pair delve into a recent supermarket shootout that has rocked sleepy Estepona. The team then cast an eye over the scandals that have rocked Spanish politics – including allegations that PM Pedro Sanchez profited off his father-in-law's sex empire – before exploring what possible links the infamous Epstein files may have to the Iberian peninsular (plus an explainer on how Jon was the first journalist to link the now-dead paedophile to President Trump, back in 2000).
