Personal Opinion

For me, this was the beginner podcast that stuck in my early days. Teppei’s speaking/presentation style was hard for me to listen to, but Shun was just the right pace for me to get into regularly listening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Shun tries to limit himself to Genki 1/2 level grammar
  • Decent variety of topics, a lot of the early ones are about Shun’s life and places he’s lived

Cons

  • Eventually Shun gets into his rhythm and the episodes get very formulaic. But I made it 100 episodes in before switching.
