Con razon 0001

This episode is the first of my new q&a series Con razón. sPod listeners will recognize the format; it's basically a continuation of the old Pa' que sepas show. My cohost is the lovely Nahyeli.
Thanks as always to the generous support of Tito of thsounds.com, who graciously provides the production music.
In this episode: What's the proper response when someone wishes you a good weekend? How can you magnify an adjective? What's the difference between "el mejor" and "lo mejor?" What are some colloquial ways to ask someone how they're doing? All that, plus a quick reference guide for "por" and "para."

Acentos 0001: Un viaje a Costa Rica

"Acentos" is just a personal podcast, where I interview friends and family. In episode 0001, my guest is my sister Heather. We recorded this one in Spanish; Heather is off to Costa Rica pretty soon, and will spend most of the summer there, studying Spanish. When she gets back to Seattle, we'll record another episode of Acentos to hear how her Spanish has improved (hopefully). In this episode, we'll talk about her upcoming trip, as well as drink a famous Pickleback.
