Reading some AJATT, I was inspired to find some countless hours of Japanese to listen to. Just people talking. Well, that search brought me to Japanese radio, and that brought me to http://www.mumix.net/, where there is a “Talk & Music” tab, where there are a bunch of “shows” where people just talk for about an hour. Multiple episodes per “show” with just a tad of music in between conversations. I have no clue what they’re saying, but man, I love it. I’ll catch a 「そうですね」 once in a while. :P

Get in on this if you’re interested. It’s pretty awesome. Currently listening to “MUSIC VOX”.

And I’m terribly sorry if there’s already a thread like this. :)

P.S. Feel free to add more of your favorite links to Japanese people talking. Gotta get that 10,000 hours in, right?

That is basically the whole purpose of this right? I don’t remember what AJJAT said about it anymore since I don’t use it frequently :p

Whenever I hear a word I recognize (recognize, not understand) I just look it up on jisho, and that happens about once every 5 or 10 minutes. That seems pretty productive, to me.

On a side note, any content that can actually be downloaded and put on mobile devices would be highly appreciated, or if anyone knows if there’s a way to download the content I posted. I’d love to have a couple hours on my iPod. :(

Though to be honest, I don’t think I’ve actually used it in about a couple of months :P

This appears to have a variety of professional podcasts:

A couple I tried appear to be able to be put on iTunes, so they’ll probably go on my iPod too. That’s at my office, though, so I can’t check it right now.

Did some searching, and this page has Hideo Kojima’s podcast, and some type of comedy. Awesome.

Though, they only list a few podcasts. I wonder why.

Although Keyhole is ok, the quality is very iffy.
