In this episode we talk about the benefits of this new sound tool: the podcast. It is an anglicism that is commonly used and has no equivalent word in Spanish. We congratulate each other for being part of 5 minutes of Spanish on the International Podcast Day, which is celebrated on September 30. This celebration is very new, it was first celebrated in 2014.

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening depending on where you are or what time you are listening to us.

 

Thank you very much for being here participating in this podcast about Spanish, a language that we love and that summons us today.

 

We are Malena and Eduardo, teachers of Spanish for foreigners, who every week we talk through this podcast about some topics of the language of García Márquez and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. If you want to learn Spanish click here and we will contact you.

 

What is our topic today?

 

Since September 30 was "International Podcast Day", we want to congratulate the 5 minutes of Spanish and those of us who are part of it, that is, you, the listeners and us: Congratulations, Bravo! This is the 164th edition. We have been together, week after week for 3 years and a half. Up! Toast! Chin chin!

A very good way to improve your Spanish quickly is to listen to common expressions, the ones you use every day and that's what we do in this podcast.

 

That's why it's good to have an international day for this new sound document: the podcast.

 

But....I have a little doubt...September 30 is also the "International Day of the Right to Blasphemy".

 

Oops, but we don't say "bad words" we are teachers! We can do a podcast with some ....do you think it's a good idea?

 

Maybe we'll become more popular!

 

Malas palabras – profanity / bad words

blasfemia - blasphemy

 

Let's get back to the subject: Where does the word podcast come from?

 

It is the union of Ipod, Apple's portable player, and broadcasting, “difusión” in English.

 

A word created by the journalist of The Guardian newspaper, Ben Hammersley, in 2004. In those years, we all downloaded or downloaded music and then listened to it, with what a thrill!

 

Descargar o bajar música- Download music

 

All of us who were born in the last century, that is, before the year 2000, remember the impact of the iPod...

 

Siglo pasado- last century

 

Is there a translation for podcast?

 

No, Pódcast is an anglicism with no equivalent in Spanish. It is written with a graphic accent “tilde” on the o. In the plural, no "s" is added, just like the word test.  In other words, the 164 5-minute Spanish “podcast”.

 

It can also be written in English, right?

 

Sí, en ese caso en cursiva o entre comillas / In italics or between quotation marks

 

What difference does a podcast have with a radio program?

 

Almost none, if the radio is live, there are differences, you have to have everything under control, in the podcast you can delete if you say a word wrong or the dog barks ....

 

Or a noisy truck pass by... it sounds familiar.

 

Actually, all radios have their podcasts and you have the possibility to listen to them at any time. It is said that the podcast gave a new life to radio, a more direct contact with its listeners.

 

As you know there are podcasts on many topics, not just improving your Spanish, economics, politics, sports, crime investigation and more. Most of the podcasts are two people talking, in many cases, there are guests.

 

Music is very important.... we don't have it. Neither does a video version that some podcasts do..... On the fourth birthday we will improve it, yes?

 

Why do you think the podcast is so popular nowadays?

 

I think that contact through voice achieves a very intimate communication with the listener, it is also direct, informal, it makes people imagine more. U.S. President Roosevelt already knew this in his "fireside chats", where he addressed his fellow citizens on the radio as if they were together, in slippers, with a simple language, speaking directly to the heart.

Pantuflas- slippers

 

Here in Los Cabos we are not in slippers, hey, it's too hot!
