Nalini Sharma

A Canadian broadcaster, presenter, and storyteller whose career spans television, lifestyle media, and international cultural storytelling. Nalini first became known to audiences in Toronto through her work on CP24 Breakfast, one of Canada's most-watched morning news programs. Over the course of her broadcast career she has worked across news, lifestyle television, and entertainment coverage — including appearances on Citytv, guest hosting on CityLine, and red-carpet coverage during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Today she splits her time between Europe and Toronto, bringing that broadcast experience into a more global storytelling format as co-host of Made in Spain Podcast — and the journalist's instinct for the questions most listeners are quietly thinking.

Spain has so much more going on than what makes it into the guidebooks. I want to find all of it.

Laura Senior García

Half English, half Spanish — raised between two cultures and at home in both. Laura is the show's inside voice and cultural sixth sense: the one who knows which family runs which restaurant, why olive oil from Jaén tastes different to olive oil from Cataluña, and what's actually happening at a Spanish wedding after the ceremony ends.

She co-founded Made in Spain Podcast to tell a version of the country that feels closer to the one she grew up in — uncovering the stories travel writers tend to miss.

I wanted people to fall in love with the Spain that exists behind closed doors — the artisans, the flavors, the stories that aren't written down anywhere.

How we make the show

An episode is built
like a long lunch.

We open with something specific — a place, a person, a question. From there, the conversation moves through context and history, into the personal: a Slice of Life from one of us, a story from the road, a small thing that happened that week.

We end most episodes with a Spanish saying — the kind of phrase that doesn't translate cleanly but tells you everything about how Spaniards actually think.

The show sits somewhere between travel writing and a long phone call with a friend who happens to live in the country you're curious about.
