Jorge Javier Vázquez dressed in a silk dressing gown, black boots and underneath as God brought him into the world. Jorge Javier Vázquez coming down the stairs of his house like a big star from the golden years of cinema. Jorge Javier Vázquez smiles, looks into infinity… It is the promotion of his new project, the podcast Los burros de Fortunato, dedicated to his donkey, the one who lives and roams in the garden of his house.
Not much else has been revealed, other than that it is a project far from the Mediaset universe, in the midst of the surprising changes that are taking place in the group with the veto of 13 of its most common faces and with the implementation of the new Code of Ethics of Alessandro Salem, who arrived a month ago at the position that Paolo Vasile held for more than 20 years, that of CEO.
A Code of Ethics that, as EL MUNDO announced, puts Sálvame on the ropes and suffocates, the program that Jorge Javier Vázquez has been presenting for 14 years. It should not be a coincidence that the presenter has announced the arrival of this podcast, of which its content is unknown at the moment, with the ‘swipe’ at the beginning of Mediaset España.
The Badalona presenter’s podcast, produced by Phi Beta Lambda, premieres this Thursday and will have new chapters every fortnight. The Phi Beta Lambda podcast will be available on all digital platforms.
“Los Burros de Fortunato is a video-podcast by Jorge Javier Vázquez. Fortunato is a donkey. The podcast is an after-dinner meal. The presenter is the most famous presenter in Spain. Fortunato”, affirms the program in the description of its official YouTube channel.
the director of the podcast is Carlos Cuevas. Jorge Javier Vázquez was in charge this Tuesday of announcing the new project with a brief phrase and a video: “Well, yes friends, a podcast is coming.” It was Carlos Cuevas himself who revealed some more detail as a result of Jorge Javier Vázquez’s announcement. “This is a podcast for Jorge to talk about what he wants with whoever he wants, and of course, there will be guests. The first one arrives on Thursday the 23rd, but I can’t tell you who he is yet.”
It is by no means the first project by Jorge Javier Vázquez outside of Telecinco. The presenter has written three books, the last one Before Oblivion, a book in which he opens up and that he began to write after the death of his great friend Mila Ximénez. In it he recounts the worst moments of him, but also how he has managed to get out of the hole in which he was.
In addition, Jorge Javier Vázquez writes a weekly column in the magazine Lecturas in which he expresses all his positions above all, something that since Monday is prohibited by the new Salem Code of Ethics. Precisely one of the most controversial sections of this new Code is the section in which the entertainment programs of the Mediaset España group are prohibited from talking about politics.
Only the News and the programs that have a political table can express political opinions, the rest of the programs cannot. In other words, Jorge Javier Vázquez or any of Sálvame’s collaborators will no longer be seen to take a political position or express political speeches.
however, from what is intuited, Jorge Javier Vázquez will be able to continue expressing what he considers in this new project.
