This thread is six years old. Any new suggestions on this topic? This is my preferred type of Spanish and there is not much out there. Anyone know if the Dominican telenovela Tropico can be found online? All I can find is the abridged version for sale. I'd love to watch the full unedited telenovela.

You probably get tired of seeing my advice all the time, James29, but I do live in the Caribbean- next door to Puerto Rico on an island with plenty of Dominicanos and Puertoriqueños. So here goes my attempt. Try having a look at La Tremenda Corte. La Tremenda Corte is a fifty year old plus comedy radio show from Cuba. Believe it or not it is still broadcast daily on several radio stations throughout Latin America, including WPAB Ponce, Puerto Rico M-F at 2:00 pm AST. I often listen to it in the car if I happen to be out at that time. You can listen live here: WPAB en vivo. The episodes can be downloaded in mp3 and there are at least three transcripts available- a few more can be found by google search.
La Tremenda Corte continued on for a short time after the Cuban Revolution, as a tv show filmed in Mexico (black and white). The humor of the show is timeless, despite its age. "Tres Patines", the main character, plays with the Spanish language like a toy. La Voz del Centro has a series of podcasts available for download. The podcasts feature talks about PR culture, politics and society. WAPA América is a cable channel on many US systems. The website has videos. Many of the programs are locally produced in San Juan, PR, although the telenovelas aren't. For other listening, my local radio station La Nueva 98.3 has a morning talk show from 0800-1000 AST and Spanish Caribbean music throughout the day. Though during Christmas and Carnival there's more of a Caribbean English Soca, Jump-up Carnival music playlist.

I love your suggestions, iguanamon. I appreciate it. I also think to myself... "that guy must be living the dream" whenever I read your posts... living on the islands speaking Spanish, etc. I'll check out your links.
