In this episode of Calla Oh, we share a couch and a conversation with José Miguel Menéndez Alonso — one of those people who do a lot… without making noise.

We talk about life and craft: about safety in Pola de Lena, the daily work in the Civil Guard, refereeing matches when no one else wants to blow the whistle, handling pressure, community, and basketball.
Amid laughter and reflection, Miguel reminds us of something essential: before giving an opinion, we must listen to every side; before judging, we must understand; and before anything else, we should try to be good people.
