What it is
Each episode follows one real person's story, told in clear intermediate Spanish with an English host stitching the scenes together, so you never lose the thread even when you lose a sentence. Production quality is excellent and transcripts are free on the site. It stopped publishing after episode 151 in early 2024, but the roughly 150-episode archive remains one of the best free bridges from beginner audio to real speech.
Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Spanish podcasts →
