I love the varied episodes and the guests that are invited to talk on various topics are experts in their fields and so knowledgeable. I am learning so much about history, politics, culture etc.. of Braxil and its apeople.

The presenter G Ribeiro is such a good interviewer and very knowledgeable himself.

I ocasiobally ' donate a coffee or two to the Brazilian Report who produce this podcast.

Well done! The discussions and material is top quality. 🙏🏽🇧🇷
