Are there any good podcasts in Japanese? I’d prefer anything like news; I used to listen to JUNK, but it was a little annoying; I’m nowhere near at the level where I can understand them and I’d just like something mainly spoken anyway. Any recommendations I’ve found have either stopped or you have to pay for them now. Anyone have any suggestions?
I’m subscribed to NHK News podcasts, which are of a decent length, spoken in a very clear manner, and free. I’m also nowhere near the level of understanding, but I’ve found that of all the Japanese podcasts I’m subscribed to, I can pick up the most from these (read: still not a lot, but at times enough to tell what’s being spoken about anyway). I just leave it running while at work.
I’ve been downloading them off of iTunes Japan. There’s a ton of really good free ones there (I’ve actually not encountered a pay one yet). Don’t know if you have an iTunes Japan account, but I don’t think you can find the NHK one anywhere else.
For some reason I didn’t even think of iTunes…I had been looking for NHK podcasts everywhere; I read they finally had a Japanese one, but that was a while ago so I didn’t know if they had stopped too. Thanks!
