Japanese Podcast Recommendations – Part 1

Posted on 05. Aug, 2010 @ 6:03 am by in Language, Media Views: 1,026

I’ve been meaning to put together a list of my favorite Japanese Podcasts for quite some time now, but never seem to get around to it. So, in order to stop the slack, I’ve decided to just do it one at a time and forget about organizing a pretty list. It’ll work out, I promise.

This first podcast is one of my favorites and I listen to it regularly.

Geek-out while improving your Japanese

The Shukan Nikkei Trendy podcast features two female hosts who talk about the latest consumer technology-ish trends. It’s very professional, and they speak very clearly.

For example, the podcast I’m listening to now just mentiond the Gundam Cafes! When the iPad was coming out they also discussed how they thought it would do in the Japanese market. Fun times. What more could you ask for? Really!?

Searching for “Nikkei” on the iTunes Store under podcasts will get you to this podcast. You can also try this direct link to the Nikkei Trendy Podcast on the iTunes Store. Use this link if you just want to snag the mp3 files individually rather than subscribing through iTunes.

Remember, listening above your language ability level is a GOOD THING. It will help you improve your Japanese. Promise.

Enjoy! Let me know how you like it. Also let us know in the comments if you have any other Japanese Podcasts you recommend!
