A whiff of Musk 1:08:43

4M ago1:08:43

1:08:43

We're back! Nothing like Supreme Court justice and an unhinged billionaire fighting for the soul of Brazilian democracy to get Gareth and Larissa back on the metaphorical airwaves.This was recorded just when things kicked off, with X-Twitter getting banned, fines being imposed on those who attempt to circumvent it, and the creation of the verified …

Break in our Nuts 6:40

3+ y ago6:40

6:40

Hello, friends! We are taking a break! It's not you, it's us, we promise. As you all know, we are an indie pod, and both of us have full-time jobs. At the moment, other things beyond those full-time jobs have been draining our time and we just can't deliver a good episode for the next few weeks. We are coming back! In two months! With brand new epi…

Bad translations with Justine Houyaux 49:51

3+ y ago49:51

49:51

Hi, friends! Sorry we're late! This week we had a wonderful guest, translation expert Justine Houyaux! And when we have cool people on the pod, of course, we like to make them play a silly game! So Larissa rounded up a bunch of Brazilian expressions and asked Justine to guess what they meant - Gareth gave his best shot? As always, we'd like to than…

A Covid update for Brazil 46:50

3+ y ago46:50

46:50

Hello, friends! We got a nice, light topic this weekend. As David Tennant cracks jokes for the BBC about the genocide going on in Brazil due to the mismanagement of the pandemic, a joke that would never have happened about the United States, it becomes obvious that updating our audience with actual data is definitely of the highest order. We talk c…

4y ago1:20:56

1:20:56

Hi, friends! So, for this week, Larissa and Gareth decided to torture themselves by watching the Netflix docu-series (ugh) 'Killer Ratings'. We did it out of love, so now you don't have to!

Carnaval: Partying with politics (Part 1) 51:51

4y ago51:51

51:51

Hi, everyone! Today's episode is about how political Carnaval can be, so much so that we made it into a two-parter! And since it is also a BIG topic, we talked about the Carnaval in Belo Horizonte, where Larissa lives. Of course, with festivities cancelled this year - for a very good reason - this is very bittersweet. This week was also Larissa's b…
