-Interview with British writer Daniel Tunnard about his latest book, a novel about Scrabble players and their conflict with a game-fixing mafia organization, in an alternative world in which Scrabble generates as much money as football or boxing. Daniel is a Scrabble champion himself and has represented Argentina in international competitions despite Spanish not being his first language.

-Some commentary and music about the October 12 Holiday, that here in Argentina is not marked anymore as a celebration or festivity but rather a day for reflection on the catastrophe 1492 meant for the aboriginal civilizations of the Americas.

-And music by Argentine poet and songwriter Gabo Ferro who passed away this week at 54.

Host: Fernando Farías
