Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Spanish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Spanish and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Mexico, Peru, or Puerto Rico? Maybe you want to speak Spanish with your abuela from Cuba? Our podcast will give you the cultural…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T18:21:51.778018+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428"},"episode":{"title":"Laughter in Scrubs: A Duck's Tale of Humor and Healing","slug":"laughter-in-scrubs-a-duck-s-tale-of-humor-and-healing","published_at":"2026-07-16T07:51:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428/laughter-in-scrubs-a-duck-s-tale-of-humor-and-healing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-spanish-5973428","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/es/episode/2026-07-16-07-38-19-es","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73010786/2026_07_16_07_38_19_es_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - Spanish : Laughter in Scrubs: A Duck's Tale of Humor and Healing Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/es/episode/2026-07-16-07-38-19-es Story Transcript: Es: En medio de un campamento más colorido de lo habitual, el hospital de campaña bullía con actividad.
