I'm halfway through Assimil Perfectionnement and Ilya Frank's stories and I'm feeling a bit of a burnout (I had been going through multiple Assimil editions of Russian so I did like 300+ lessons...), so instead I've been listening to podcasts. The list in the OP and the master thread is woefully short and barebone, so here's a more detailed list, complete with RSS feeds you can put into your podcast app.
Russian Podcast: approx. 10 min episodes. The speaker first reads out a dialogue, then explains the more complicated words. Relatively slow and articulated. Hundreds of episodes. Transcripts must be bought but the site provides a short vocab list for each episode. (

Comprehensible Russian Podcast by Max: 20 min episodes. The speaker talks about random themas from Russian culture and explain the more complicated words. Relatively slow and articulated. Hundreds of episodes. Transcripts must be bought. Very similar to Russian Podcast (

Next Level Russian: 20 min episodes. The speaker speaks somewhat quicker than the other two and the vocab is a bit more advanced. Random themes like CRP. New podcast, only a dozen episodes or so. Transcripts are available on the website for free. (

Easy Russian: 2 min episodes. Slow speaker but vocab is a bit more advanced. Very few episodes, you'll quickly get through it. (

Very Much Russian: 3 min episodes, each about a different idiom or expression. Transcripts show up with translation on the podcast app, very handy. For some reason only a handful of the latest episodes show up on the app and for the remaining hundred or so you have to use the website. (

Raketa Simple Russian: 3 min episodes, each being about a random person talking about their life a bit. Simple vocab, normal speed. A couple dozen episodes. Transcripts show up on the app, very handy. (

The best two are probably Russian Podcast and Max's Comprehensible Russian, the episodes are well-rounded and they clearly have professional experience doing this sort of thing so you easily follow along and learn. If you're in a bit of a bind the shorter podcasts are fine as well.
You should also definitely check out Mosfilm's channel (
https://www.youtube.com/user/mosfilm), a Soviet studio whose movies are freely and legally available on youtube. Even if you don't want to learn Russian, just check out the movies, there's a reason they're popular in Russia and they have subtitles in a bunch of languages.
