July 2025 Listening Challenge

I gathered all my courage today and got on podbbang.com to find Korean podcasts.
I found this one: 영화속 그림이야기 and listened to an episode about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & George Méliès The Astronomer’s Dream (I think??). Comprehension level is abysmal, but I do try.

unsolicated 팟빵 recs for @monace:

우주먼지들의 하찮은 이야기 : 팟빵 a group of 20something women discuss life and things. their topics are very random but chill (e.g. things we’ve been up to lately, summer is reading season, weird but good smells, romantacising decorating your own room/apartment)

시골쥐 퀴엇쥐 Two 30something woman from Busan, discuss queer life as well as general life topics & interview guests. their convo topics are pretty accessable to learners like tv shows they were obsessed with growing up or how and where they tend to make friends.

Finished! I’m currently in Mexico so while I won’t be getting much podcast input, hopefully I’ll be able to get some comprehensible input by being here. Definitely going to be hearing a lot of Spanish, but the key word is comprehensible right :rofl:

I’m excited to see if my listening practice over the past couple months will help me know what is happening more than the last time I was here :slight_smile:

Oh wow thank you, these both sound great and right up my alley!! I’ll have a listen :grin:
The problem with podcast websites is that I never know what to listen to or even what to look for, so I appreciate the recommendations.

I’ve officially made my highest month stretch goal of 42 hours! :partying_face: It’s been a while since I’ve been able to! I’ve noticed myself listening to more than an hour on average per day this month, which definitely helped. I don’t feel like I was particularly trying to listen for so long for a majority of that, but some stars did line up in terms of listening material and work, so I’ll be curious to see what August has in store for me.

No listening this week, but my month total is 10h26, so I did reach my goal! On to the next one :partying_face:
