Resources & Media What podcast recommendations do you have for someone trying to improve their Spanish?

I'm trying to learn Spanish and love listening to Reddit readers (AITAH, insane parents, confidently incorrect, etc) and true crime in the background while I work. It's just dawned on me that I can listen in Spanish to practice hearing it. Hoping to get more slang and casual conversation into my vocabulary so I don't sound like the formal "I just learned Spanish" speaker that I am. Any suggestions?

Different topics including a longer episode at the end of the week.

De mente abierta for true crime.

Españolistos is good for a big catalog and lots of varied subjects

I listen to a tutor and podcaster who calls himself Spanish Language Coach. He has four podcasts - Spanish for False Beginners, Intermediate Spanish Podcasts, Advanced Spanish, and Más Que Historias. There's a podcast for everyone B1 and higher. It's not true crime; however, because the topics vary so much, the podcasts are good listens. You're not actively being taught Spanish grammar concepts. You're simply listening to stories or hypotheses.

Additionally, the podcaster, César Rodríguez, does a great job at providing real-time transcripts in Spotify. He also provides free vocabulary cards on his website that relate to each episode.
