Mercedes' diction, enunciation, pronunciation and flawless delivery make the podcasts a joy to listen to.

I'd like to recommend la A-radio (http://www.laaradio.com/).  It's fast and humourous and slightly obscene at times, which makes for fun listening. Thanks for the tips, I’ll have a closer look asap.

I like them because: there are 5 levels they translate <em>and</em> analyse the speech content they are very productive (producing every weekday) they are great teachers with a very relaxed feel to the presentation. also a range of extra resources are available if you wish to purchase them Hi graham,
