E o Resto é História (Observador)

What it actually is

A historian and a columnist take a historical episode apart each week; it is one of the most listened-to podcasts in Portugal and the reason many Portuguese people started listening to podcasts at all. For a learner it is hard: two people interrupting each other, heavy on names, dates and irony. Note that Observador does not publish a public RSS feed for this one — it is on Apple Podcasts and Spotify only.
