After 215 episodes of Nihongo con Teppei – Beginners, I begin questioning if this content is worth it after the initial "super beginner" stage.
It's a 5 minute podcast with 1 minute intro and 1 minute outro, every single one of those segments is basically the same, he repeats the same phrases in each one, which is fantastic if this is your first contact with Japanese language but after that it becomes tedious. In any listening hour (12 podcasts) you are exposed to 36min of actual content, which is basically on the same level as anime.
Topics are also quite repetitive and it gets boring quickly, listening about Skype for the 5th time and good listening is for learning. At the same time I don't feel strong enough to listen to his intermediate content.
What are your thoughts and experiences? Does it get better later on?
