“This has helped me so much with my conversational Spanish - thanks so much. Although, I have to say, Ben’s opinions haven’t aged well 😂. No need to worry about global warming? Print journalism will die?”

Although it is already a bit dated, some podcasts are about “new technologies” that have now become commonplace, it remains an...”Read full review »

“The couple's conversations are clear yet sophisticated with real expressions you don't necessarily learn in a textbook. The topics are engaging and present a valuable insight into Spanish life even 7 years after the podcast was made. Kudos for predicting video streaming in the last episode :)”
