Great learning tool
I’m really noticing my Spanish improve by listening to these podcasts. I’m living in Spain, so I love having the stories read in both a Mexican and Spanish accent, and at different speeds. Here’s my learning process with these; I’ve been taking one episode to listen to each week. I listen to it about 4-5 times. Then I read along with the transcription while listening. I then work on translating into English from the transcriptions as best I can, and if I get stuck or am unsure of the translation I use a translation app to understand the grammar and/or new vocabulary. After all this I listening to the podcast even more, maybe 4-5x more. Then I read directly from the transcript a number of times and I record myself reading so I can listen to what I sound like. I feel like I’m improving faster doing this than I had been prior to listening to this podcast. There are definitely other podcasts that I’ve tried listening to, but they were harder to go through this process with. Anyway, thank you for the great learning tool. My goal is to keep up with this process for the next 3 months, taking on one or two podcasts per week and evaluating my level of learning at that point. I imagine I’ll have made a lot of progress, and I’ll let you know how it goes!

Thanks for these great stories. I am really learning a lot from listening to them. Slow spoken, not to difficult but everyone learning new words.

I could spend a whole year listening to these episodes. Listen, listen again, write down what you’re hearing, and then check the transcription. Super useful for improving comprehension.
