This is the fourth and final episode from our recording session with Spanky.

Brazilianisms 046: Spanky Brought Beer

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:38:00 +0000

Things get a little crazy as Milton and I enjoy the beer that Spanky brought us.

Word of the Day: Lúpulo

Brazilianisms 045: More Spanky

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:53:00 +0000

Spanky stays on. We talk about the Alta Vila Tower Mall, rock art in Gruta Rei do Mato (I gave the wrong name in the episode), and frustrating experiences with the Federal Police and at the airport. Also, I like Prawer chocolate.

Brazilianisms 044: A Visit from Spanky Claus

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:34:00 +0000

Spanky drops by to record with us, bearing gifts. Meanwhile, a neighborhood dog barks and barks.

Brazilianisms 043: Just a Little More Feedback

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 11 May 2010 04:47:00 +0000

We took such a long hiatus that we forgot that our previous episode was already dedicated to feedback, so you get two feedback shows in a row!

I know this wasn’t one of our stronger episodes, but don’t give up on us quite yet. Next week’s show has a special surprise guest.

Brazilianisms 042: Milton and the Motorcycle

tvindy@gmail.com — Thu, 06 May 2010 05:57:00 +0000

We do a bit of feedback, speculate on Spanky, and talk about Milton’s new motorcycle. Also, Milton is not gay.

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:01:00 +0000

This is footage from my roadtrip with Simone in the US.

Brazilianisms VIDEO 006: Oreo Comparison

tvindy@gmail.com — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:16:00 +0000

George Hrab and Slau conduct a blind taste test at Dragon*Con to determine whether or not Brazilian oreos are in fact inferior to American ones.

Brazilianisms 040: Back in Brazil

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:40:00 +0000

This is our first recording after Simone’s and my return from the US. Milton and I talk about the Brazilianisms live show at Dragon*Con and the road trip I took with Simone. Also, we finally have decent microphones. (Now if only Milton would learn to hold his properly.)

Brazilianisms 039: More on the Portuguese Language

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:45:00 +0000

Milton talks about soccer, and then we revisit the Portuguese language.

Milton and I talk about Brazilian holidays.

Brazilianisms 037: Live at Dragon*Con

This episode was recorded live at the podcasting track of Dragon*Con 2009.

Brazilianisms 036: Milton Finally Gets it

tvindy@gmail.com — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 07:21:00 +0000

Milton and I respond to more feedback, and we have a bit better sound quality.

Brazilianisms 035: Feedback

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:50:00 +0000

Milton and I catch up on various bits of interesting feedback.

Milton and I talk about Belo Horizonte, the city where we live. Be sure to visit the website for a complete list of links to just about everything we discuss: brazilianismspodcast.com

Brazilianisms Mini-Episode 001: Milton Eats Cheese

tvindy@gmail.com — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:42:00 +0000

We’re finally back. This is just a short mini-episode to get things started. The sound is very bad. Normally I’d just throw out the audio, but this is pretty short and is not something that could ever be recreated in a later episode. Future full-length episodes won’t have stellar audio, but they’ll definitely be better than this.

Brazilianisms 032: Porcaria

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:49:00 +0000

Finally we come out with a new episode! This was recorded back in December when I was still hoarse from my cold, so please excuse the rawness of my voice. Also, there’s a break in the audio at the very beginning, but after that it’s smooth sailing soundwise.

In this episode we basically talk about all the crap in Brazil and some of my frustrations living here. I sincerely hope this episode doesn’t offend, as that was not our intent.

Brazilianisms 031: Christmas

tvindy@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:50:00 +0000

We tried to do a show about Brazilian holidays and ended up just talking about Christmas.

Brazilianisms 030: News, Vocabulary and Mosquitoes

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:34:00 +0000

In this episode we talk about some interesting Portuguese vocabulary and then move on to some of the major Brazilian news stories of the past several months.

Brazilianisms 029: Rio and its Favelas

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:16:00 +0000

Prompted by a lively discussion in the comments, Milton and I discuss Rio and its favelas.

Brazilianisms 028: Fabíola

tvindy@gmail.com — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 01:52:00 +0000

Milton has been pretty busy of late, so I tried doing a brief episode without him. Simone’s cousin Fabíola takes his place.

Brazilianisms 027: The Brazilian Economy

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:05:00 +0000

We talk about the Brazilian economy, and Milton misses his bedtime.

Brazilianisms 026: Catching Up On Feedback

tvindy@gmail.com — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 05:38:00 +0000

We catch up on some of the feedback that’s piled up in our absence.

Brazilianisms 025: We’re Back!

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:18:00 +0000

After a harrowing experience in the Toronto airport, I’m back in Brazil and ready to podcast. Milton’s not so ready, but I finally convinced him to come over and record.

Brazilianisms 024: John of God

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:58:00 +0000

After a slight delay, we’re back with a new episode. I, Milton and my brother Frank do a show from Abadiânia, where we went to see Brazilian healer John of God. (If only Milton had been cured of his insanely loud sniffles.)

Brazilianisms 023: Feedback

tvindy@gmail.com — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:40:00 +0000

Milton and I record a bit of feedback before I head off to the US.

Brazilianisms VIDEO 005:

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:43:00 +0000

Here are some highlights from my trip with Milton, showing a bit of Brasília and Abadiânia. We’ll discuss the trip in detail in an upcoming episode.

Brazilianisms 022: A Visit from Scotty J.

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 04:05:00 +0000

Scotty J. stops by the show again, and we do an entire episode with him. Despite what we say at the beginning, this is actually episode 22 and not 21.

Brazilianisms 021: Just Another Feedback Episode

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:38:00 +0000

This is yet another feedback episode.

Brazilianisms 020: The B-Word

tvindy@gmail.com — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 04:01:00 +0000

For our twentieth episode, I give Milton a tour of the Brazilianisms website and tell more amusing stories from my past in Brazil.

Brazilianisms 019: The Portuguese Language

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:01:00 +0000

We talk about one of Milton’s least favorite subjects.

Brazilianisms 018: Electric Feedback Boogaloo

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 28 May 2008 04:01:00 +0000

We got a lot of feedback from our series on race. Strangely, most of it was about electricity.

Brazilianisms 017: Race (part 3)

tvindy@gmail.com — Thu, 22 May 2008 04:01:00 +0000

Bad sound quality strikes again. I think I’ve found the problem, so it won’t happen again. (Of course, that’s what I said last time.) In this episode, Milton and I talk a bit about the indigenous population of Brazil.

Brazilianisms 016: Race (part 2)

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 12 May 2008 04:01:00 +0000

In the second part of our three-part look at race in Brazil, Milton and I continue our discussion on how blackness is regarded in Brazil and how it came to be that way.

Brazilianisms 015: Race (part 1)

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 04 May 2008 04:01:00 +0000

This is the first of what will be at least a three-part series on race in Brazil. Unfortunately, gremlins once again attacked our sound equipment, and there seems to be no way to filter out the very annoying staticky crackle. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t even publish this, but it’s one of our best episodes. The next two race episodes (already recorded and without the crackle) really need the groundwork laid down in this one, so please give it a listen and accept my apologies. I’m taking measures to insure that nothing like this happens again.

Brazilianisms 014: Milton Gets Better

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:01:00 +0000

I Skype Milton to talk about his recovery and tell a couple of amusing anecdotes about Simone’s sister. This is clearly not our best episode, and if your main reason for listening is to learn about Brazil, you’ll probably want to skip this one. Next week we get back into the swing of things with the first installment of a three-part (at least) series about race in Brazil.

Brazilianisms VIDEO 004: What’s in the Fridge?

tvindy@gmail.com — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 01:36:00 +0000

Milton couldn’t make it this week, so we don’t have a regular episode. (We definitely will next week.) In the meantime, here’s a short video showing the contents of my refrigerator.

Brazilianisms 013: The Episode Where we Jump the Shark

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 04:01:00 +0000

In our unlucky 13th episode Milton and I go so far off-topic, that it’s not even funny. (Well, actually I suppose it is.) To make matters worse, serious back pain has delayed me getting this out, and I didn’t have a chance to record an intro, resulting in the episode beginning and ending rather abruptly. Next episode will be better. I promise.

Brazilianisms 012: Milton Wants to Climb a Tree

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

The only thing between this episode and number 11 was a pizza. Ustream stopped working, so there’s no video, but we managed to clear out a lot of feedback before getting distracted by old memories. There’s still a bit remaining, though, and we’ll finish it up next week on episode 13. Then we can get back to actual show topics.

Brazilianisms VIDEO 003: Highlights from our First Live Show

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

Episode 11 was our first attempt at a live show. It is a collection of some of the more amusing visual moments. Since this is recorded from what we streamed overseas to Ustream, the quality is not ideal.

Brazilianisms VIDEO 002: Easter Egg

tvindy@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

In Brazil there are no Easter baskets or dyed chicken eggs. Instead, people receive large hollow chocolate eggs with candy inside. This video features the egg I got for Simone.

Brazilianisms 011: Live Feedback

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

Milton and I had a lot of fun with this episode, mostly because we did a live video feed on Ustream while we were recording. Unfortunately, all we got were lurkers, so our hopes for viewer feedback on listener feedback went unfulfilled. Still, I think this was one of our better shows, and I may someday edit together a few video clips to make a short movie.

Brazilianisms 010: Feedback Extravaganza

tvindy@gmail.com — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 04:01:00 +0000

This is the second episode of our three-part feedback extravaganza. After episode 11, we’ll actually get back to having topics.

Brazilianisms 009: Too Much Feedback! ☺

tvindy@gmail.com — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 05:01:00 +0000

In this episode, Milton and I cover about a third of all the feedback we’ve accumulated over the past few weeks.
