Good Japanese Podcasts? Audio material?
Hi everyone!

It doesn't have to be necessarily in this format, but some good audio or video material, which is practical to access via smartphone.

May plan is to listen to it during my morning walks or while doing the dishes at night.

About possible topics, I have interest in world news in general, language learning, Literature, Japanese History and Culture in general, religion... Well, the range is pretty wide.

Answer

I often listen to バイリンガルニュース. Their conversation is in English and Japanese and topics are interesting. Their topics would be much harder for me to understand if they speak only English, but because their conversation is mixed, it's easy to follow, and I am sure you will find lots of new words during their conversation. They speak a lot about cultures, too. I recommend it.

Hi Danny,
How about "TOEIC presents English upgrader"?
Although it is for Japanese English learner, the contents firstly go English speaking and secondly Japanese translation.
If you still need English interpretation, it might help you to learn Japanese.
It is also about 20 minutes, which might be suitable for your demand.

Good luck!
