I like to listen to podcasts while doing something else – gardening, cooking, exercising. I cover a number of topics – politics, technology, films, health, current affairs, history, German etc. Here are most of the podcasts I currently keep up with – but I don’t listen to any particular podcast if the topic doesn’t interest me. They are very loosely separated into categories:
FILM & REVIEWS
The Dusty Den – book and film reviews – only broadcast occasionally
http://www.empireonline.com/podcast/ – film and TV reviews from the UK, but covers US too
GERMAN
Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten – Deutsche Welle – http://www.dw.de/deutsch-lernen/nachrichten/s-8030 – comes with the script so you can read along
Was heißt das auf Deutsch – songs with English lyrics translated to German
DeutschTop-Thema – various themes in German, covered in two or three minutes
Germanpod101.com – short teaching podcasts
News des Nachrichtens – from Berlin about Germany but in English – I met the podcaster in Berlin once
Radio Spaetkauf – from and about Berlin but in English – http://www.radiospaetkauf.com/ – I once attended the live podcast in Berlin
Slow German – every couple of weeks or so, covering one theme for a few minutes
