Eixo do Mal (SIC Notícias)

What it actually is

A fixture of Portuguese political culture: Clara Ferreira Alves, Daniel Oliveira, Luís Pedro Nunes, Pedro Marques Lopes and Aurélio Gomes going at the week’s politics and culture. If you want to understand what Portuguese people are actually arguing about, this is the show — but four people talking over each other with heavy irony is about as hard as native audio gets. Advanced only.
