The sixth episode, “Memory Boom,” discusses how grave exhumations, legislature, and media challenged the historical narratives that were created and sustained by Franco and the democratic transition.

6. The Memory Boom

The podcast project it is an exploration of the processes of forming, sustaining, and contesting national narratives and collective memories of history while highlighting the validity of individual memory as well. It dissects the deliberate actions Franco undertook in forming and imposing his ideal Spanish national identity and then traces how the national narrative of Spain’s 20th-century history has been sustained or changed in the decades following Franco’s death. Threads woven throughout the podcast episodes are the experiences and reflections of my own family members.
