I am looking for podcasts in Spanish. I am not looking for learning material, more like a radio show kind of. If any of you is familiar with Café Brasil, that is what I would like to find, but in Spanish, preferably American Spanish, but a mix of different accents would work best.
Any of you is aware of something good?

NHK World Radio broadcaster has some good podcasts with news about Japan in Spanish (and other languages). Here's the link to the Spanish page -

Oi, tambem gosto muito do Café Brasil! Nice to know that I'm not alone. There's just no one out there in the Spanish or English speaking world quite like Luciano Pires. I haven't been able to find any one podcast in Spanish that I enjoy as much as Café Brasil, and I've looked. Café Brasil has interesting topics and themes mixed with a healthy heaping of great Brazilian music, modern and classic. I agree with you, I'd love to find that in Spanish too, as well as English.
I quite enjoy the content from RTVE Spain which is high quality NPR/CBC comparable quality, but, Iberian Spanish. In the Americas, I find the content from Radio Nacional Argentina to be interesting and good quality Radio Nacional Argentina Archivo Too bad Luciano Pires doesn't have a brother in Colombia.

Thank you for the suggestions!
@iguanamon
I discovered Café Brasil because someone talked about it on this board, can't remember who. Could be you!
I'd love to find something similar in Spanish because it is a little high for my Portuguese level. I miss some bits here and there, but it still makes me progress a lot in oral comprehension.
On the other hand, I am past the stage of learning podcasts in Spanish and just want a weekly dose of casual conversation and music to listen to, as I don't get to practice too much these days.

Por nada, @g.polskov. Often, whilst I'm working, I listen to Radio 3 from Radio Nacional de España. Lots of great music in combination with discussion about the music. One of my favorites allows me to combine my love of Brazilian music in a Spanish speaking environment Cuando los elefantes sueñan con la música
Radio 3 RTVE has loads of good music programs in genres ranging from Tango, salsa, and jazz to rock and electronica. They did a wonderful hour long salute to Django Reinhardt on his 100th birthday. The podcasts are high quality and download-able to MP3.
I love Café Brasil and it is helping me progress with my Portuguese, combine that with my 3 times a week skype exchange and once a week in person exchange and I hope to be able to add Portuguese to my list soon.
