What it is
Each episode tells a short story set in Brazil, then goes back through it one sentence at a time alternating Portuguese and English, so you get the meaning without reaching for a dictionary. Over 340 episodes and a new one most days, which solves the usual beginner problem of running out of material at your level. The podcast is free; a paid Plus tier adds transcripts and vocabulary lists. The site does not say who writes or narrates the stories, and the format is formulaic by design — useful as daily volume rather than as your only listening.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Portuguese podcasts →
