Looking to learn german, and I figure since I've barely even heard the language spoken, having a podcast would be helpful. Any recommendations? I've found a few that are for language learning, but I'd be curious for one thats just people talking, maybe about leftist stuff.

recommendations?

    I know many people in corner späti are in DEand speak German. It’s an English language podcast (with German bits), but I know they’ve had on people who run a Dutch language politics podcast.

    I’m guessing they probably run in German-language circles too, but I don’t have a good idea for how to look thru their discog/whatever

    @ciaran_cornerspaeti comes around sometimes, they might know

      YO it's me 5 months later :/

      So German language pods that I can recommend HölleHölleHölle which I use to practice my German listening https://hhhcast.carrd.co/ 99zuEins which I think is mostly on youtube like a video podcast (that we've been on) https://99zueins.fireside.fm/ Halb Zehn is more serious and dry but good, our cohost Julia has been on before https://twitter.com/halbzehnFM

      Podcasting, especially on the left is in it's infancy here in Germany. It's quite strange.

    While I myself can’t speak German, you might dig the podcast 99 Zu Eins. They’ve done some crossovers with leftist podcasts in english which is how I found them, but for the most part their episodes are in German. It kinda reminded me a bit of TMBS.
