JmhrmtNew episodes?I have really enjoyed this podcast. Unfortunately, it ended in May 2024 with no reason why and nothing on the website. I guess I need to find another podcast. If it were still going, I would give it 5 stars. Without any communication, I had to give it 3.

Jonny BlaikSpanish obsessed is the bestWhen I first started listening to this, I thought I didn’t like it because it was all in Spanish and I wasn’t expecting that. But then I realized that I liked it so much that I bought a monthly subscription, And it has worked out great. I really love the natural, interesting, and relevant topics that they talk about, and how they understand that love of Spanish comes with a love of the Latino culture. I tried to look for another Spanish conversational podcast, but I just couldn’t find one that was as good as Spanish obsessed, because Spanish obsessed is just the best.

Very237Love the intermediate podcastI have been learning Spanish for a number of years now. Listening to the Intermediate level podcast from Spanish Obsessed has really helped me improve my listening comprehension. It is my favorite Spanish conversation podcast to listen to. It is always interesting and I learn a lot. Thanks Rob and Lis!

LEC2033Amazing podcast! The best for practising SpanishI’ve dipped in and out of this podcast for the past 5 (?) years and it’s the best one I’ve listened to for improving my fluency. It’s so easy to follow along, clear to understand and I just really enjoy the normal day to day life topics. I also love the dynamic between Rob being English and Lis being Colombian and the different perspectives (both on culture and learning the language) that they both bring. They’re also clearly just really nice and great people! Couldn’t recommend this podcast more.

JimmoruRob and Liz are AwesomeSpanish Obsessed Intermediate is very well done all around. I’ve learned a ton of vocabulary and turns of phrase. The episodes are short and the hosts actually talk about interesting topics, which makes it easy to listen to one episode after another as part of a daily Spanish diet. Rob and Liz are clearly good, genuine people who have a passion for what they’re doing. They are a pleasure to listen to.

TammyTamRob and Lis are great!I studied Spanish in high school and college and was looking for a podcast to improve my Spanish skills. This podcast fit the bill perfectly! Rob and Lis speak slowly and clearly, but it is still challenging. I learn new vocabulary in every episode and I’d say I comprehend about 80% of the podcast. They discuss fun and interesting topics and they are both very charming. A great podcast for improving your Spanish listening skills!

Estone22Critical for my studyingRob & Lis are one of the 4 core podcasts I’ve been using to listen to comprehensible Spanish input. I chose them originally to have a Latin American accent to practice listening to, but they’re so cute & charming! I loved all of the Beginner episodes & at making my way slowly through the Intermediate as well now. Listen, copy down the key vocab you want to keep using, practice those words/phrases, then come back and listen again after a few weeks - you’ll understand a lot more without needing to stop.
-
nomoreloosepagesMachismoRob and Liz are my favorites because their affection for each other shine through. My suggestion for a future podcast (that also has to do with stereotypes) is the topic of toxic masculinity. What is the current situation, what are personal experiences, and what efforts are being made in Latin America to change things.

NemopoochieGraciasGracias por su conversación divertida y informativa!
-
Diego el super abogadoComment.Interesting topics. Clearly at the level advertised, and the couple speaking are charming and their romantic feelings for each other are touching. Lis, although a native speaker, needs to annunciate better, louder and not giggle over her words.
-
KielySpanishLearnerBig fan!I love that the episodes are so clearly marked at the appropriate level. The speed at which they speak is great. It’s perfect for me who’s trying to stay comfortable with speaking and listening to Spanish. Thanks guys!!
-
AsddfghhffdjwebfnxsnsjRob n Liz r koolIf you just want to constantly listen to Spanish in the background or while your really focusing on what Rob an Liz are saying this is a great podcast. I’m an English speaker and I’m just trying to constantly have Spanish around me so I can soak my brain in it, and the speed is perfect and i like how it’s just like 2 people conversing about different topics and stories. Great job Rob an Liz

Johnny1766Great learning tool and Interesting StoriesRob and Liz do an awesome job with this podcast. Listening to them has definitely helped me with my language skills (I do a little combo of their Intermediate and Beginner series, which I also recommend). The stories they tell are interesting too! Also, Rob is very approachable with questions/comments/suggestions and has answered me promptly in the past. Thanks guys!
-
djoinesInteresting and IntelligibleI have been studying Spanish for a couple of years, and listening is the hardest part for me. These podcasts are something I actually want to listen to, and I do not have much trouble following the intermediate episodes. For me, it is much easier to understand Spanish spoken with a slight English accent, and Rob does a good job of maintaining a rate of speech appropriate for the indicated skill level.
-
flyingdicsInteresting and usefulEasy to follow, accessible, but I always learn something, even with just the free version. Good stuff!
-
Fish Man71Awesome!Please keep making these! So helpful for me perfecting my Spanish. Thanks!
-
DeathWalksMy favorite Spanish speaking pair podcastRob and Liz are very fun to listen to. Their mannerisms make the entire thing fun, while their experiences that are shared are very welcome and interesting. The back and forth, helping each other explain or say words and phrases correctly, make it feel far more personal and heartwarming. Thank you both! I always look forward to each new episode, thanks for every moment you share with us!
-
VeroinaireHelping me remember my 1st language!Thanks so much for this guys! My Spanish is leaving me as I have lived in the US all my life and only speak Spanish to my mom. I found myself recently struggling to keep up a conversation with my mom and desperately wanted a resource to help me regain my Spanish, Spanish Obsessed is perfect and you guys are adorable to listen to
-
Sr. PeteGreat content but quietContent is great, but I think they're too far from the mics because in order to hear them well I would need earphones or external speakers.
-
elmartin<- Also obsessedGracias por todos!
-
StaceBirdStumpers!You two are lovely! This podcast is so well done: just casual, slow-enough Spanish so that I can find my way past this plateau of near-fluency I've been stranded upon for some time now. One question/suggestion: Would you mind explaining or defining (in Spanish) the harder or lesser known words you happen to pepper into the conversation? Not every one, but if you think it might be something that might really stump us..? Thanks for your great work!
-
Sonny PhilGreat chat, perfect length and interesting contentTried most of the intermediate podcasts out there, this one wins by a good distance...
-
Ian A.Intensely helpful for aural skillsReally has helped improve my Spanish and they talk about interesting things!
-
tljamezSuper helpful!I am really glad I found the existence of this Intermediate series. I went through a few directly from their website on-line, however, I then figured it would be handy to have their podcasts so that I can listen to them in the car or when I do not have internet access. Rob and Liz have done a first-rate job in aiding those of us beyond the beginner stage who have difficulty with most native Spanish speakers who talk rapidly without necessarily enunciating. Rob (especially) and Liz make an effort to enunciate clearly.
-
PmiddMY FAVORITES!I LOVE SPANISH OBSESSED. Truly, I am quite obsessed with it, being that I’ve listened to almost all of their intermediate podcasts. They seem to be really sweet people, and I always enjoys listening to them. In fact, I was going through a rough patch with my Spanish learning where I was getting extremely frustrated and just wanted to quit. But then after finding this podcast, I realized that you can’t just quit learning a language after 5 years of it! I just had to find things that I loved. And this is definitely one of them.
-
Ljo467Great audio with transcriptionRob and Liz’s podcast is really entertaining and educational. There are plenty of new words and native phrases to learn, and you can pick them up from the context of their stories. I generally listen in the car, but I’ve also found the transcription to be a really helpful reference. I hope they continue to add new episodes!
-
Chris E WCGreat PodcastAlways need to hear the language in conversation which I find to be the hardest part....understanding the native speaker. I'm always asking my patients to slow it down or repeat. This is great exercise for the ear!
-
StroziNCExercising with Rob and LizThanks to Rob and Liz for keeping me company in the gym. The time flies by! I love the topics and the pace is perfect. Muchas gracias!
-
Morggy101Awesome!I love these podcasts. They are an excellent way to improve listening comprehension while making it fun. The topics discussed are interesting and relevant. Spanish Obsessed is also very convenient. I always listen on the go! :)
-
JMACINCReally 5 StarsI only gave it four b/c I think we all discount the extremes of any rankings on social networks. I have been listening for a year to “RFI - Noticias de América” and Univision news on TV, but the Spanish Obsessed podcasts are the first good audio source I have found for true-to-life conversations with the accompanying text. I am grateful for your high-quality assistance to self-teaching students like me. Gracias.
-
FairbairnwLively, authenticThe conversations come across as the real thing -- real speech that lets you hear how people really talk. With the transcripts, it's especially useful.
-
lachatonneSo far so goodI was looking for Spanish conversation to help me get better at listening comprehension. Just started this one but it seems good for that.
-
Alabama docExcellent for Listening SkillsI've really enjoyed listening to conversations in the intermediate and advanced podcasts. Great practice. Length is just about perfect as well.
-
JdahansonGreat podcastThey use a great mix of vocabulary and they speak at a great pace for learning.
-
A real review by a real personExcellent! ¡Excelente!Highly recommended. This is an excellent tool to improve listening comprehension. You cannot improve listening comprehension without listening. Until now, I had been limited to listening to television or radio programming, which was frustrating and discouraging because of how little I understood (my speaking and reading skills are very good). It is amazing how different it is listening to these podcast versus regular broadcasting. Pick the right level for your skills and prepare to be amazed! I can follow the conversation easily because I understand most of the word. Because I can follow the conversation and, because the conversations are interesting, it is both fun and effective.
-
carminRIncredibly Helpful!One of the reasons I love Spanish Obsessed is the discussion of Latin American culture. This way I don't offend those that I know in North America who have been unable to adjust to my culture and I won't continue to offend those in Latin America due to my ignorance of what is common in their country.
-
Julia WhitekerAwesomeI love these guys and their podcasts!!!!! They're interesting and natural, and they speak slow enough for me to understand. I can't believe you can even download the transcripts for free.
-
T HauffGreat PodcastI’ve had a great time listening and learning to the podcast. I like their variety of topics and they speak at an intelligible pace.
-
RobynohExcelente!These conversations are wonderful. They cover a variety of interesting, fun, current topics, so not only am I improving my ear and vocabulary, I’m also learning about contemporary culture & experience. Highly recommend!
-
chris-csFun way to keep up your verbal comprehension!Love this series! Truly helpful + ¡Absolutamente entretenida!
-
KapohereSpanish ObsessedRob and Liz's podcast has helped me improve my listening comprehension by referring to their transcripts for words and phrases I didn't understand. By making and reviewing a list of what I missed, it is great for vocabulary study. Having included four levels of comprehension is impressive. They have a friendly, natural interaction which makes for an enjoyable listening experience. Their enthusiasm in helping us improve in Spanish, shows in their conversations. A big THANKS for the time they have devoted to making a terrific website. Fran

lillyfunExcellentI am learning spanish and after finishing duolingo and some workbooks I got stuck. I was struggling with my listening skills and knowing how to express myself in a conversation to a native speaker. Then I discovered Spanish Obsessed! I have found some other spanish audio but there is either no transcription or you have to pay for it. Spanish Obsessed gives you the transcriptions for free! Every time I listen to one of these podcasts I pick up more and more vocabulary and phrases and my spekaing skills are improving very quickly. I hope I can cross the bridge to fluency soon! Thanks Spanish Obsessed!
-
Mrs. EKBLove it!Rob and Liz have the best Spanish podcast on the web. Extremely helpful. I mostly listen to the intermediate and advanced versions, and especially identify with the way Rob (as a non native speaker) formulates sentences now that he is fluent. Thank you for your work!
-
SkippySkipperGreat resource for learningSpanish Obsessed has been a great tool to help me practice my listening skills. Slow enough that I don't give up. Also, the transcripts on the website help if I hear a word I cannot, for the life of me, figure out.
-
wonniexGreat HelpGracias a Rob y Liz! The pace of their podcasts is perfect, and I appreciate that they supply the text of their podcasts. This is one of the best Spanish podcasts, in my opinion, because they speak clearly, with intention, and discuss interesting topics. Although I am now in Costa Rica studying Spanish, I still listen to their podcasts because they are monumentally helpful. Si se puede con Spanish Obsessed!
-
Soco11Great real world SpanishRob and Liz have real world conversations about different topics. They speak a little slower than normal in this Intermediate level podcast. It is very helpful to download the transcript and notes from their site to follow along and learn the vocabulary! Thank you for providing this podcast!
-
ParkerUSAPractical And CharmingRelevant topics, very clear, effective style for both beginner and intermediate stages. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in improving. THANKS and best regards to Rob and Liz
