Great listening practice...

“Once you gain some knowledge of a language in a classroom setting, I think it's important that you spend a lot of time listening to the language if you want to gain any sort of proficiency. These podcasts offer such an opportunity that you can take advantage of with very little trouble or expense. As advertised, the Spanish is slow enough to provide word separation, and even if you don't know all of the words, it's still good practice to capture the words you do know while noting the ones you don't. And if you're aware of the news, you may learn some new words in the process.
Not all of these news stories are top headlines, so some of them will be coming at you with no background at all in the story. Those are fun opportunities of a different kind. It's fun when you hear about it in your own language later on, and you realize you heard about it first in Spanish.
Aside from the news stories, which you can read about independently, the podcasters break into commentary and conversation about the news stories. That's also an interesting challenge, because there's no independent source to help you verify what you think you heard.
I have listened to many hours of radio Spanish, and I know that listening is a skill that you will improve upon if you do it often. These podcasts are more kind and gentle than a radio station. Need to practice listening? Recommended!”Read full review »

“Switching to headlines only makes this podcast irrelevant as a free to listen option. I suppose the paid version is much better but too expensive for me as a recreational learner.”

“It's great for people wanting a continuous conversation in español but can't hear a native speak on a daily. It's slowed down which is also great for picking up on words.”Read full review »
