English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A clash of egos or a historic conversation?
Jordi Wild's interview with Jesús G. Maestro has drawn mixed reactions. While some call it "historic", others see it as a face-off between an "attention whore" and a "know-it-all". The exchange, already circulating on social media, stands out for its mentions of German idealism and Hitler, which have sparked criticism over coherence and depth.
The use of Hitler as an example
One of the most controversial points is the reference to Hitler to illustrate German idealism. Critics point out that Maestro adopts the Anglo-Saxon narrative about the dictator, the very one he later questions. Others defend the move as a nod to publishers so he can keep publishing. The discussion drifts toward Calvinist Protestantism and its ties to Central Europe.
Style and content
Despite the criticism, some praise Wild for letting the interviewee speak, something rare in Spanish podcasting. Maestro, for his part, is considered interesting though sometimes dense. According to some, the interview works as background listening without skipping. The debate over the authenticity and egos of both figures remains open.
