What it actually is

Experiments, explainers and how-things-work films made for a Brazilian general audience, not for learners. It earns its place on a learning list because the visuals carry most of the meaning: you can follow an episode on why earthquakes happen long before you could follow a podcast on the same subject. Free, enormous archive, several uploads a week, Portuguese auto-subtitles are reliable enough to lean on.
