This touching episode is a tribute to one of the Grande Dames of Deia’s history, the social anthropologist Jacqueline Waldren and author of Insiders and Outsiders: Paradise and Reality in Mallorca. Two days before recording, Jacqueline passed away, leaving the village of Deia devastated. Talis Waldren, the oldest of Jacqueline’s daughters and a lifelong resident of Deia, agreed to meet with us despite her mother’s passing, seeing this as a way to honor her incredible mom. Talis’ strength, and the deep love she felt for her historical parents and community are everything and more in this excellent talk.

In this episode Matthew Williamson talks to Tara and Joseph about his transition out of fashion and into interior design, how moving to Deia fit into the big change, his artistic process and how Deia inspires it. We also get an inside look into some of his favourite things to do here on the island.

In this episode, Tara and Joseph talk to Didac, the owner of the world famous Sa Fonda bar and restaurant. We learn about what it takes to run this exciting operation in a small village, why Sa Fonda manages to be super glam and international while maintaining a small town vibe, and what’s in store for the Deia music scene. Tara also gets her first shot of almost using a profanity on the podcast.

In this episode, Tara and Joseph speak with Cecilie Sheridan, Deia artist and curator for the art shows at La Residencia. We learn about Deia in the 1960’s, what brought the artists and Americans here, the fabulous art collection that Cecilie and her husband George have hanging on the walls of La Residencia, and the current state of the Deia art scene. We also get some heartwarming insights into Arturo Rhodes, one of Deia’s beloved artists and characters who passed away shortly before this talk.
