Hi, everyone! Welcome to our first episode! We are so grateful you’re here, listening to us babble. First things first: (TW) this episode discusses violence against women, particularly rape, on two separate occasions. If that’s not something you can hear right now, we completely understand if you wanna skip this one. Second thing: SOMEONE did not record the first couple of minutes of the episode, so the audio is a little funky – it normalises real soon. Third: this episode was recorded on International Women’s Day, right around the day when Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the United States’ primaries. Why does that make a difference in a Brazilian politics podcast? Because we discuss mandatory voting, yaaayyyyy! So, stick around, listen about IWD, Elizabeth Warren, the existence of a ginger sloth, and how Brazilians cast their votes!

If you like the episode or if you like us personally, please like, rate, subscribe, all that good stuff that puts us up on the rankings and gets more people to listen to us. If you don’t like the episode and you don’t like us, can you still do it? Please? It’s good karma, we hear.

Also if you REALLY liked it and if you can, you can buy us a coffee on our Ko-fi page! Isn’t that fun?

Larissa and Gareth would, as always, like to thank Uoster Zielinski for the graphic design, and all the essential workers out there, who go out, so we can stay home.

Podcast music is: “Corta-jaca” by Chiquinha Gonzaga


Brazil Nuts: an insane journey through the world of Brazilian politics is a weekly exploration of the forces that have shaped, and continue to shake, the nation. Hosts Larissa and Gareth guide you through a landscape where triumph and tragedy are inseparable, finding the compelling stories within the chaos. Each episode connects the dots between past and present, examining how events like the 1970 World Cup victory or the long, complex process of abolition resonate in today's political climate. This isn't just a history lesson; it's an ongoing conversation about power, identity, and the sheer unpredictability of life in South America's largest country. You'll hear analysis that makes sense of the headlines by understanding the deep cultural and historical currents beneath them. The podcast thrives on the specific details-the bizarre scandals, the beautiful acts of resilience, and the bad policy decisions-that collectively tell a bigger story. Tune in for a perspective that is as informed as it is engaging, offering clarity on a subject that defies simple explanation. The journey is indeed insane, but it's one that makes the fascinating complexity of Brazil accessible, episode by episode.
