Brazilianisms: A Podcast About Brazil

This is the fourth and final episode from our recording session with Spanky.

Things get a little crazy as Milton and I enjoy the beer that Spanky brought us.Word of the Day: Lúpulo

Spanky stays on. We talk about the Alta Vila Tower Mall, rock art in Gruta Rei do Mato (I gave the wrong name in the episode), and frustrating experiences with the Federal Police and at the airport. Also, I like Prawer chocolate.

Spanky drops by to record with us, bearing gifts. Meanwhile, a neighborhood dog barks and barks.

We took such a long hiatus that we forgot that our previous episode was already dedicated to feedback, so you get two feedback shows in a row! I know this wasn't one of our stronger episodes, but don't give up on us quite yet. Next week's show has a special surprise guest.

We do a bit of feedback, speculate on Spanky, and talk about Milton's new motorcycle. Also, Milton is not gay. (If anyone is having trouble accessing the site at www.brazilianismspodcast.com, you can also get to it through tvindy.typepad.com/brazilianisms .)

We interview Deejay Zezinho, whose company provides in-depth tours of Rocinha, Rio's largest favela.

This is our first recording after Simone's and my return from the US. Milton and I talk about the Brazilianisms live show at Dragon*Con and the road trip I took with Simone. Also, we finally have decent microphones. (Now if only Milton would learn to hold his properly.)

Milton talks about soccer, and then we revisit the Portuguese language.

Milton and I talk about Brazilian holidays.

This episode was recorded live at the podcasting track of Dragon*Con 2009.

Milton and I respond to more feedback, and we have a bit better sound quality.

Milton and I catch up on various bits of interesting feedback.

We're finally back. This is just a short mini-episode to get things started. The sound is very bad. Normally I'd just throw out the audio, but this is pretty short and is not something that could ever be recreated in a later episode. Future full-length episodes won't have stellar audio, but they'll definitely be better than this.

Finally we come out with a new episode! This was recorded back in December when I was still hoarse from my cold, so please excuse the rawness of my voice. Also, there's a break in the audio at the very beginning, but after that it's smooth sailing soundwise.In this episode we basically talk about all the crap in Brazil and some of my frustrations living here. I sincerely hope this episode doesn't offend, as that was not our intent.

Prompted by a lively discussion in the comments, Milton and I discuss Rio and its favelas.
