As I understand it, licensing music in Spain is very different in the UK - in Spain you need to license individual songs, whereas in the UK you pay the Performaing Rights Society for a single licence to play any recorded music. Which is why, with all due respect to the Spanish side of my family, Spanish discos tend to be wall-to-wall chunda chunda, whereas UK discos generally play pretty decent music (depending on the individual taste of the DJ...)

Wow so this is why it's so hard finding RSS links for spanish podcasts...
edit: nevermind, iVoox offer rss links.

Offtopic (and feels weird to ask in English) but I'm looking for good general-interest Spanish-language podcasts. Do you have any recommendations for ways to discover new ones?

A really good one is called La Ruina. It's a live podcast and the audience tells their worst experience.

Only superficially relevant but my favorite podcast of all time was Tom Segura's podcast en espanyol - i'm not sure why it left spotify but it was only there for a few months it seems. Seems it's on youtube now but accessing on spotify was convenient for me
One of the main advantages for the signed artists is that they can use licensed music (paying the canon to the official regulatory agency SGAE). The spanish-speaking podcast scene is, surprisingly, very different than the english-speaking one.
