Chinesepod is a popular podcast to learn Chinese based in Shanghai. I love the lessons, for being fun and entertaining, and for the two main hosts, Jenny Zhu and Ken (the boss) who seem like happy fellows. It’s like listening to a radio brief talkshow, but you also learn a lot, as the lessons are very interactive.
They were completely free before, there was a fee only for those wanting to get extra materials like scripts, exercises and so on, but now, looks like you have to pay for all of the content.

Still, you can suscribe for a free 7 days trial (just need a valid email), and access to all the content. Give it a try, it’s really worth it! I feel sorry I didn’t know about them at my beginnings in China’s language jungle 🙁
Psst… you can also download 1G of lessons on torrent websites.
