Looking for podcasts

None of these are anywhere close to your level, but they weren’t close to my level when I started either. I think it’s good to hear normal spoken Japanese, even if you don’t understand it. Over time you’ll learn to recognise words, and you’ll understand what they’re saying. It might take a long time until you understand what they’re even talking about, but you’re still hearing all kinds of words and getting proper exposure.

Yes, the below is just copied from one of my previous comments

Bilingual News
A young man and woman discuss whatever they find interesting in recent news. Often comes down to science news and politics. The man speaks mostly English while the woman speaks mostly Japanese. It’s one of my favourite podcasts, I just love the hosts.

Sokoani
Discussions and interviews about anime, completely in Japanese. Hard to understand for a beginner, but you get used to it with time and as you learn.

ひいきびいき
New to this one myself, but I’m really liking it. It’s basically two people, a man and a woman, speaking about whatever, it seems. Last ep was about yoghurt. It’s entirely in Japanese but the hosts speak quite clearly and not too fast, so It’s an easy listen.
