This episode is the Spanish translation of a “Want Ad” that Frank Crane, an American writer, published in the U.S. at the turn of the 20th-century. I think it’s pretty neat. (Se busca is the way to say “Wanted” in Spanish ads.)

I’m putting this podcast in the INTERMEDIATE category even though it is filled to the brim with examples of the Spanish present subjunctive. The sentences are short and easy to understand so anyone at an intermediate Spanish level can understand this episode without much difficulty. Find the enhanced transcript, which contains the complete text, definitions of Spanish words, plus a written exercise to help you practice using the present Spanish subjunctive inside Cody’s online store.
