Españolistos

Andrea Alger is a Colombian Spanish teacher and linguist. Nate Alger is her American husband who learned Spanish as an adult. Together they host Espanolistos, a show that conducts about 99 percent of each episode in Spanish while covering topics interesting enough to keep you listening even when your brain wants to give up. With 475 episodes and a 4.9 star rating from over 1,400 reviews, the numbers speak for themselves. The format is conversational but educational. Andrea and Nate discuss everything from travel and food to controversial social topics and grammar deep-dives, and Andrea naturally corrects Nate's mistakes along the way, which is hugely valuable for learners. You see a fluent non-native speaker making real errors in real time and getting gentle, immediate feedback. The Latin American Spanish pronunciation and expressions they use reflect how people actually talk in Colombia, which is helpful for anyone planning to travel or live in Latin America. Episodes run about 30 minutes and drop weekly. The couple also runs Spanishland School, which offers immersion programs in Medellin, Colombia, so the podcast serves as both a standalone learning tool and a gateway to deeper study. Their chemistry is genuine, the conversations feel unscripted, and there is enough variety in the topic selection that you will encounter vocabulary across dozens of subject areas. For intermediate to advanced learners who want to train their ear with authentic conversation that still has a teaching element baked in, Espanolistos delivers consistently.
