Japanese Podcasts
Posted on 23. Jun, 2008 @ 9:30 am by harvey in Language, Media
As part of my quest to not let my Japanese die while I spend the next few years in the states, I started hunting for some Japanese podcasts.
I found some fun stuff put out by TBS Radio 954.
If you’re coming straight through the iTunes Store, search for “TBS RADIO 954kHz”.
So far I’m liking the various JUNK comedy series.
Check it out!

Thanks for that. It’s been a while since I went Japanese podcast hunting. So long, in fact, that I’ve discovered many this time around. Now, if only I could understand more! I’ll get there eventually.
I have subscribed to the one you’ve pictured here, and I find that his voice is very clear. I just don’t know enough words to understand enough.

I went to the Japanese itunes store and went to Podcasts then the comedy section. I chose to download the top five. I’m sure they are funny, lol.
My old Japanese podcasts used to be unprofessional ones, a couple of teenage and twenty something girls talking, but they all stopped podcasting months/years ago.
I’m still searching for a good tv/movie based one. Found an interesting one teaching english to children. Useful phrases like “These pickled eggplants are tasteless”.

Also, I forgot to mention “Brain Food”. It’s just a short vocab video, with the english section sounding like a machine, but a nice short video pumping out vocabulary. Nice for people like me who want to expand vocabulary.
