Carlota Corredera was first the director of Sálvame and a presenter later. On the occasion of the broadcast of the last Friday Deluxe, the format that premiered in 2009 under the name of Sálvame Deluxe, on July 14, Corredera was the guest of La casa de mi vecina, the Nagore Robles podcast, on Podimo.
In this program, Robles chats with his guests, famous and anonymous, to find out about their vital experiences. In that conversation, which was published on Monday morning, July 17, Corredera confessed that in Sálvame they did "atrocious things" that "were not 14 years ago."
In the balance of her time on the Corredera program, she explained that she tried to make her own Sálvame, after arriving as the third presenter "in discord" after Jorge Javier Vázquez and Paz Padilla. Robles pointed out that she had several facets in her work as host of the program, and the Galician assured that these changes were due to an evolution.
"It has to do with my maturity and my approach to feminism. It seemed to me that we had done atrocious things in 'Save me', which seen from the perspective of time are atrocious, but 14 years ago they were not," he confessed.
Given this statement, Robles asked her if she regretted any decision she made in her day, in this case as a director. "I have always tried to make entertainment with as much dignity as possible," she replied. She explained that "there are things that are intolerable" and challenged any medium to "broadcast 4 or 5 hours a day" without making any mistakes.
Corredera highlighted that, for her, the "evolution of beginning to see the world with a gender perspective was an awakening". "It would seem to me that I was missing a wonderful opportunity because I think that Sálvame began to do pedagogy," she added, commenting that, despite that explaining to people the difference between machismo and feminism, and that feminism is equality, "is a very expensive but beautiful job."
In this balance for her professional career, Corredera stated that her commitment to feminism has meant a "very high" cost. "I think I continue to pay the consequences," she added, although she assured that she would do it again. In addition, she stressed that much of her commitment is due to her daughter, because she wants her to grow up in a world without machismo.
