Ran into Japanese super immersion recently. I feel like their level changes a lot but probably at lower end.

I wonder if that kind of stuff could live here?

I’m curious now what @taiyousea would add to the list :innocent:

Added it to the list, thanks!

Ooh, that’s a cool channel. I put N4-N3 since it might vary.

I’ve been enjoying SoundLibrary, which I see in that thread you posted (thank you for linking to that!), and SokoAni! Both are N2-N1 level. SoundLibrary is a storytelling podcast that uses some fun atmospheric sounds and music to add to the story’s ambience. And SokoAni is an anime review podcast that started all the way back in 2007 and still publishes pretty frequently.

Not a podcast aimed at Japanese learners - more a podcast for expatriate Japanese living in Australia but probably excellent for people wanting to get better at listening to formal “news” level Japanese. Usually 10-12 minutes long, has a weekly news wrap & general interest stories. A familiarity with Australian news would be an asset especially when listening to the weekly news wrap. I’d rate this N2 - N1. Definitely not easy listening but short and sweet.

Recently I’ve been enjoying the Badonkadonk Podcast. Not sure where their comedic banter fits on the list, but it’s entertaining – there’s a dose of Kansai dialect as well.
