  • There’s a bug that makes the transcript scroll to bottom after about 1 minute. However it lead for me to notice you can click on any sentence and it will go back to that point in the audio. Great feature!

  • I liked the topic very much and was able to learn a lot about salt. I had a question about the pronunciation of Aveira (or one of the words with eira in it. It sounded to me more like “vera”.

    As I was reading the transcript (in Portuguese), the text was scrolling nicely until about the middle when it suddenly zoomed to the end.

  • Muito interessante. Não sabia que há salinas em Portugal. Se calhar vou visitar a salina no Aveiro

  • I really enjoyed this episode. Quite some time ago (in conjunction with the podcast on azulejos, which I listen to frequently), Rui noted that calçadas would be a good topic for a future episode. This would be great. Thank you so much!
