¿La Tauromaquia es Cultura… o Crueldad? con Manuel Azcona (Sin Filtro) | Mavericks Podcast

There are topics that divide opinions… but few generate as much passion, hatred, and controversy as bullfighting. In this episode of Mavericks, we speak with Manuel Azcona Segovia: businessman, passionate about bullfighting, and one of the most vocal defenders of this tradition in times when many seek to abolish it. Is bullfighting art? Is it culture? Is it cruelty? Are we losing traditions… or evolving as a society? An uncomfortable, profound, and brutally honest conversation about identity, social pressure, legacy, masculinity, discipline, and the price of defending what you love even when the world judges you. ----------------------------------------------------- Mavericks Podcast is a space where we explore how people who are doing things differently think.
