I've enjoyed InnerFrench's "Intermediate French Podcast" which you can find on Spotify and iTunes, and I'm sure it's available on many other podcast apps. I'm at ~A2 listening level and I don't have any trouble understanding Hugo. He speaks slowly and conversationally without sounding stilted or scripted, and his podcast utilises simple sentence structures and quite a bit of natural repitition. The topics of each podcast are really interesting, too. I've had better luck with this than the Balades podcast, which I feel is more of a B1 level (i.e. I need transcripts to understand what's going on).


Edit: I see this podcast has already been mentioned, somehow I missed it. :) So this is just another plug!

Thanks zjones. Yeah, it's a really good podcast and what I've been listening to for the past few days.
