oct 09 2026Some interviews happen in a rush, courtside with the clock ticking. Others call for a table, a coffee, and time to spare. José María Santiago has spent eleven episodes championing the latter approach on his YouTube channel Café y Canastas, with the latest episode dedicated to Xavi Saisó.
Saisó has practiced journalism for over four decades—long enough to have witnessed nearly everything change: the way games are covered, relationships with players, the media landscape, and basketball itself. That's what this conversation explores. It's a retrospective of his career without a rigid script, where personal experiences matter more than dates, and where you discover the person behind the professional.
This is the format that gives the channel its purpose: long-form conversations in a relaxed tone, where Santiago sits down with people who have lived basketball from the inside. They're not chasing quick headlines. Their value lies in listening to someone thoughtfully—something increasingly hard to find.
