What it actually is

Relaxed studio conversation rather than journalism, so the Portuguese is closer to how people actually speak — interruptions, asides and slang included. Harder than the news in some ways and easier in others: the vocabulary is everyday, but nobody is enunciating for an audience. Updated very regularly.
