Brazilianisms: a podcast about Brazil Travel Cast Network

Andreh is an American married to a Brazilian. He lives in Brasilia and teaches English there. We discuss his experiences in Brazil, his thoughts on Brazilian customer service, and the current political situation. (Please note that this was recorded a few months ago, so his views on Dilma's impeachment are not based on current information.)

I chat with Dayane, a self-taught English speaker who lives in São Paulo.

I chat with Zezinho about life in Rocinha, his favela tour company, the community center he's working on, and his cats. He's an old friend of the podcast. Last time we talked was back in episode 41.

Milton pops in to talk about his recent trip to Canada as well as his motorcycle trip adventures to some small towns in Brazil.

Coming out of a long hiatus, I talk about the 2014 World Cup, that was hosted in Brazil. Then I play clip of a neuroscientist's take on capoeira.
