Blum (stylized as blum.) is a fiction podcast written and directed by Manuel Bartual and Carmen Pacheco and produced by El Extraordinario. The story follows a journalist investigating the disappearance of an art history student who was studying the fictional painter Ursula Blum.

Background[edit]

Blum is a fiction podcast written and directed by Manuel Bartual and Carmen Pacheco and produced by El Extraordinario.[1] The podcast is composed of nine 20-minute episodes, and in each episode the characters travel by train to visit a different city in Switzerland such as Basel, Geneva, and Lucerne.[2] Throughout the show, the characters visit 10 different art museums.[3] The show stars Jacinto Bobo, Nicky García, and Vicky Porque.[4]

The story follows the journalist Emma Castillo who is investigating the disappearance of an art history student named Clara Pastor who in turn was studying the painter Ursula Blum.[5] The podcast was later adapted into English and the protagonists names were changed from Emma Castillo and Clara Pastor to Emma Clark and Clara Torres respectively.[6]

Reception[edit]

Miranda Sawyer commented on the show in The Guardian, noting that the "start is a little slow, and occasionally the acting somewhat stilted, but the story gets more absorbing as the tension increases".[7] The show was nominates in three categories at the 2023 Ondas Awards and won best Branded Podcast.[8][9][10]
