This article aims to map the production of political podcasts about politics in Brazil. Since 2014, we have followed the growth of this type of media in the country, setting up a new field of information and political discussion. This research seeks to shed light on the main characteristics of these podcasts, such as: linkage, frequency, date of creation, specialty or topic discussed in the programs and political positioning. To illustrate the phenomenon, we propose an exploratory study that collects quantitative data (N = 125) from podcasts and qualitative data through in-depth interviews (N = 6) with those responsible for some podcasts. This work intends to present the field of this media as part of the communication ecosystem composed of different means of political information in the face of recent political crises and processes in Brazil. As main results, we highlight the dominance of the political podosphere by independent productions, linked to the left, released weekly and dealing with "National Politics" as a major theme in their episodes. In addition, there was a peak in the launch of programs in 2019, being this year responsible for almost half of the analyzed corpus.
