What it actually is

Two to three hours per episode, in which the hosts research a case and then argue about it — the appeal for a learner is that the same case vocabulary recycles for the whole episode, so comprehension climbs as you go. It is also the most concentrated dose of contemporary Mexican slang you can get. Free, with a very large archive. Crude, profane and often gruesome, and there are no transcripts.
