220. Beagles: El rescate

220. Beagles: El rescate

Author: Marta Ruiz Yedinak May 18, 2026 Duration: 17:43

Today we talk about a recent series of protests that resulted in the rescue of over 1,500 beagles. But, before we begin today’s episode, I want to give a small reminder that this story may be emotional for many listeners. It is a story that started a lot of conversations, not only in Wisconsin, but across the country.

Today we are talking about animals, protests, and a situation that made many people ask difficult questions. You may have already heard a little bit about it online or in the news… but maybe not the whole story.

As always, listen carefully and form your own opinion! Transcript here!

¿Estás buscando una forma natural y efectiva de mejorar tu comprensión del español? ¡Cuéntame! | Learn Spanish with Comprehensible Input es el espacio creado por Marta Ruiz Yedinak, una profesora certificada, donde el aprendizaje surge de la escucha relajada. Aquí no encontrarás listas interminables de vocabulario o reglas gramaticales complejas explicadas en inglés. En su lugar, Marta emplea un español claro, desde un nivel básico hasta intermedio, para narrar historias y conversar sobre temas cotidianos y curiosos. La idea central es que adquirir un segundo idioma ocurre de verdad cuando el "input" o lo que escuchas es comprensible y, lo más importante, te mantiene interesado. Así, sin esfuerzo consciente, tu oído se va adaptando a los ritmos y estructuras del lenguaje. Cada episodio de este podcast es una invitación a sumergirte en el idioma de una manera amable. Puedes escuchar mientras conduces, cocinas o descansas, permitiendo que el español te envuelva de forma gradual y orgánica. La variedad de temas asegura que siempre haya algo que capte tu curiosidad, haciendo que el proceso sea entretenido y sostenible a largo plazo. Marta ofrece un recurso valioso para quienes desean construir una base sólida de comprensión auditiva, un pilar fundamental para luego ganar fluidez. Para una experiencia más comunitaria, también existe un grupo de Facebook asociado donde los oyentes pueden conectar. Este podcast es, en esencia, un compañero accesible en tu camino hacia un español más natural y seguro.
