Expresso da Manhã

What it actually is

Paulo Baldaia runs a daily briefing from Sunday to Friday, talking to Expresso journalists and foreign correspondents about the stories that outlast the day’s noise. Over 1,500 episodes and one of the most-listened news podcasts in Portugal. It is conversation rather than bulletin reading, so it is faster and more elliptical than Antena 1’s Noticiário — better once you can already follow the news in Portuguese.
