"Game 40: The origin of videogame podcasts" a conference by Guillem Caballé and Manuel Martín-Vivaldi

On 17 March, the broadcaster and presenter Guillem Caballé, accompanied by Manuel Martín Vivaldi, gave a conference in the auditorium of UDIT, University of Design and Technology.

Under the title "Game 40: The origin of video game podcasts", Caballé spoke about the world of video game broadcasting in the media and how Los 40 principales, Spain's leading music radio station in the 90s, was the first in the national scene to dedicate a space to this activity at that time, Game 40.

Guillem Caballé is a freelance advertising and dubbing announcer at Guillem Locuciones, but he began working as a radio announcer at Los 40 Principales in 1988. He spent a large part of his professional life at this radio station, where he became the director and producer of countless programmes such as "Del 40 al 1", "El Gran Musical", "Game 40" and "En tu casa o en la mía", among others. In the early 1990s, he combined his work in radio with that of presenter of the music programme "Clip, Clap, Vídeo" and the video games programme "Bit a Bit", on La 2 and "Rockola 40" on Canal Plus. He has also hosted other television (MTV) and radio (MTV and COPE) programmes and award ceremonies (MTV Europe Awards in 2007 and 2008).

Manuel Martín-Vivaldi is one of the alma maters of Game40, and he worked alongside Guillem doing analysis and news related to the world of videogames in that programme.
