What are your favourites? A podcast curating great short stories sounds interesting, done well


"Selected Shorts" is up there. My principle complaint is that episodes remain live for only a month or so. If you happen to catch an episode you like you'll have to keep it downloaded. All but certainly on account of copyright.

Various non-English pods as well, to maintain / increase fluency. Germany has a good set via Deutschlandfunk. I've found a few in other languages, though tending toward advertising-supported, which is less than ideal.

Searching for stories, literature, childrens' stories (a surprisingly good way to learn basic vocabulary, grammar, and culture), and history in your target language of choice tends to be a pretty good guide.
