"We have dressed him as a teacher in 'History with Mario', a total of 25 installments in which Vaquerizo will tell in his own way the history of Spain necessary to pass the selectivity," said the head of Audible in Europe, Juan Baixeras.

And the reactions have not been long in coming.

Audible was born 25 years ago in the US.

as a start-up (emerging company) by the hand of journalist Don Katz, who was the first to put inside an MP3 many books that could be heard during the hours spent on public transport.

"It worked great,"

says Baixera, who explains that he later released it in Germany, where "it works like a real shot."

In fact, it is there, in Berlin that the subsidiary of Audible Inc., based in Newark (New Jersey, USA) was founded, which was acquired by Amazon in 2008.

However, in Spain there was no offer, despite the fact that "we are a very radiophonic country."

"But everything comes in due course", considers the executive, who contributes a singular fact: Spain is the second country in the world in consumption of podcasts per inhabitant, after South Korea.

This is due, in his opinion, to the fact that
