0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

Brazilian President Lula will not go to a TV debate on Thursday. The debate is on Globo, a big TV channel in Brazil.

Instead, Lula will talk on a podcast called Flow. He will do this at the same time as the debate.

This is not the first time Lula has done this. He has used this strategy before.

In Brazil, people are getting ready for the 2026 election. A candidate is a person who wants to win the election.

Many candidates think about going to TV debates. They must decide if a debate is good for them.

Some candidates choose other ways to talk to voters. A podcast is one way to do this.

Lula thinks the podcast is a good choice for him right now.

TV debates and podcasts both help candidates talk to many people. But they are very different.
