Acredito q o Marco foi muito preciso nos comentĂĄrios q fez. Acredito atĂ© q foram mais isentas q as opiniĂ”es da Alexa pq a janela de Overton polĂtico mudou bastante

I dont know if this message will reach you but I just discovered your podcast today and I love it. I listened to 8hrs worth today during work. I'm learning Brazilian Portuguese and I am able to understand a nice majority of what is spoken on your podcast so that means I'm improving. Also, I'm more interested in sotaque do Rio and most apps and other resources dont cover the Rio accent so listening to Alexia speak is helping me so much with that. thank you so much
