The 15 Best Intermediate Spanish Podcasts in 2026 (B1-B2)
You’re past beginner Spanish, but most podcasts still feel too fast. These 15 aren’t made for language learners. They’re podcasts that native speakers in Spain and Latin America actually listen to, covering everything from ancient Egypt to unsolved murders to the philosophy of prayer. They just happen to be on the slower, clearer side. They’re split into two groups: podcasts that work well at B1, and podcasts that are comfortable once you’re at B2.
