I’ve read a lot of Japanese short stories and novels written for native speakers. Although I’ve never taken the test, I’ve been told I’m about N1 (or close) at reading. So I’ve got a decent vocabulary.
However, I think I’m still around N3/N2 listening. I’d like to listen more, but can’t really get sucked in my any of the native content podcasts I’ve tried. Most of them are topics I would not listen to if they were in English, my native language.
The closest I’ve come is maybe this podcast, which reviews recent books in Japanese. It’s maybe sort of like a NYT review of books podcast or similar. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/%E5%A5%BD%E6%9B%B8%E5%A5%BD%E6%97%A5-%E6%9C%AC%E5%A5%BD%E3%81%8D%E3%81%AE%E6%98%BC%E4%BC%91%E3%81%BF/id1586762102
Does anyone have any suggestions on actually interesting Japanese podcasts that are directed towards native speakers? Maybe like a Japanese RadioLab, or discussions of interesting topics, or something like This American Life, a true crime podcast, or…?
