๐ŸŽง Podcasts & Radio Dramas [with scripts]

Reading and listening concurrently is great for learning, such as books with audiobooks and tv shows with subtitles. Other useful resources are podcasts and radio dramas that have accompanying scripts/transcripts.

Letโ€™s discuss the shows we listen to and share some recommendations!

Please note: the series should be mostly/entirely in Korean.

Yeah, TTMIK has really been pulling back on their free stuff lately and things distributed off their platform. They just took their podcast off of apple podcasts.

Itโ€™s understandable they need to make money, and they do produce really good resources, but itโ€™s a shame that they went from having a huge library of free lessons to pretty much everything behind a paywall. :pensive:

Iโ€™m not big on podcasts, but hereโ€™s some YouTube podcasts I know of and sometimes listen to.

I think some people also use the app Audioclip. I tried it out, but it was too difficult for me.
