BrazilianPodClass

What it actually is

One of the oldest Portuguese learning podcasts, with several hundred lessons on conversation, vocabulary and the popular expressions textbooks skip. The podcast feed stopped publishing around 2020, so treat it as a large free archive rather than an active show. The audio podcast is free in any app; structured course bundles and lesson materials are sold through their Teachable site, which is now the main web presence. Production is basic and the archive is organised by episode number rather than by level, so plan on some digging.
