Students and/or Tutors: what are some of your favorite podcasts in Spanish?

My all-time fave is Radio Ambulante but I don't always have time to listen to their episodes, which tend to be around 40 minutes long. On the shorter side, I like El Hilo, which is more news-based, and Así Como Suena, great for hearing voices and accents from all around América Latina.

Know the answer?

My wife (Mexican - for her I know Spanish) likes to listen to one called "Relatos del Lado Oscuro" which deals with paranormal activity that happens from time to time all over Latin America but with a special focus on Mexico. A mi esposa (mexicana - por ella sé español) le gusta escuchar a un podcast conocido como "Relatos del Lado Oscuro" lo cual se trata de actividades paranormales que pasa de vez en cuando en toda Latinoamérica con un enfoque especial en México.

    Hola! Podcast para escuchar hay muchos! A mi me gusta mucho el cine y escucho el podcast de gente que hace cine. Es muy bueno. Hay uno sobre temas ambientales que se llama elemental y también los de Mongobay Latam son muy buenos. Con respecto a temas de alimentación soledad Barruti (es Argentina) tiene unos buenos. Hace poco escuché uno llamado Marcados, la comida infantil es una trampa y me gustó. También hay uno muy bello llamado radio tertulias de cocina que habla sobre gastronomía. Para aprender sobre política Colombiana a Fondo con Maria Jimena Duzán y si, coincido con que radio ambulante es muy bueno!

  • If you have just started taking Spanish lessons, podcastsinspanish.org is a good choice because the podcastass are short and arranged according to your level of the language. You can download them and get the transcripts. There are also worksheets for each podcast with their answer sheets. A good technique I have read about and encourage my students to apply is "shadowing" which consists of repeating what they hear in the podcast in a low voice. Just like parroting. In this site you will listen to Spanish from Spain. Have a nice day! ¡Hasta pronto!
