Study Chinese Podcasts List

An important part of studying Chinese is listening to the language to learn new words and to get used to the sound flow for the words with their tones. One of the ways to help Chinese students do that is by listening to some Chinese Podcasts that can be found around the web. Since I've been asked about Podcasts a few times, I thought I'll collect all the links I know of into one list to make them easier to find.

Please note that all Podcasts are provided free and that their profit usually comes from selling Podcast transcripts and other extras built upon the Podcast content.

My wife and I have a podcast in Chinese. I am an intermediate student and our podcast is a good resource for intermediate/ advanced learners of Chinese. Although it is not a podcast to learn Chinese per se, it is funny and we talk about a lot of current events and more adult topics (still tasteful, don't worry!). You can find our feed at www.clickcaster.com/avt.
