So I think like many people around here that getting as much oral exposure to a language as you can is definitely one of the key components of reaching some kind of fluency in that language.
However, unless you want to sit down and watch anime all day, you are probably going to want content that you can consume like a podcast (no image, something that you can just put in the background while you are walking or doing anything).
Now, while I think there are a lot of fantastic beginner/intermediate level podcasts for Japanese (Yuyu nihongo podcast, the real Miku Japanese podcast, …), when you start wanting to consume content that is not made for Japanese learners but for actual natives, things start getting tricky. As a matter of fact, I never found a native podcast that interested me and it's a big problem cause if you have no interest in the topic, your attention can easily shift to something else.
For this reason, I've been looking around about the "condensed audio" method that has notably been presented by Matt vs Japan (extracting the speech from an anime episode and turning it into an audio file you can listen to anywhere). The problem here is I have no idea how to get the audio files without piracy and piracy is not an option for me. So please let me know how you legally managed to create condensed audio.
