I’ve ordered the Spanish podcasts below by level to help you decide which podcasts are worth trying for you.
Do scan over them all though as I’ve listed them for the level they ‘start’ being good for. Some go beyond that too. For example, some that I’ve listed as beginner are also great for intermediate and advanced learners.

Best Podcasts to Learn Spanish – Beginner
Radio Lingua – Coffee Break
Average length: 15 minutes
Level: Beginner
Probably one of the longest running language learning podcasts. The Coffee Break series is always very popular and recommended.

Average length: 1-5 minutes
Level: Beginner
The Survival Phrase series is no longer updated. However, it’s still very useful for getting to grips with a new language.
Language Transfer
Average length: 10 minutes
Level: Beginner
Brilliant project that reminds me of Michel Thomas style audio courses. A great collection of complete language courses, including Spanish.
News in Slow Spanish
Average length: 10 minutes
Level: Beginner to intermediate
One of the first podcasts for language learning that I discovered. This is a great beginner podcast if you’d like to use news to learn languages. There’s options for both Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish.
You’ll need a subscription if you want the transcripts and full episodes. However the podcast feeds have a shorter version of each episode, which is useful too.

Their podcast series features interviews in Spanish.
SpanishPod101 (my affiliate link)
Average length: 5-15 minutes
Level: Beginner to advanced
Another of my favourites and normally the first place I look when I’m starting a new language. You might think that because of the range of languages on offer, that dilutes the quality, but not so.
If you want to go further and get access to everything (we’re talking transcripts, quizzes, full video and audio content) then you can subscribe to SpanishPod101.
If that’s not what you’re after, they’re still got a huge range of free lessons in podcast form. Woop! Click here to go to the iTunes page for Innovative Language.

Best Podcasts to Learn Spanish – Advanced
You’ll notice I’m listing all here as intermediate to advanced. This is because I believe there’s value in listening and getting comfortable with Spanish you don’t understand before you’re ready.
However, generally, the themes and conversations include more advanced vocab than the previous podcasts listed.
So these are great for advanced learners who want to enjoy content mostly made for native speakers.
