Thank you so much!
I've tried Japanese Pod 101 before, but I didn't like it enough to buy a subscription.
However, the TBS Radio is just PERFECT. This is exacly what I needed.
I especially like:
http://www.tbsradio.jp/so/
They're easy to listen to and genuinely interesting if you're into "slice of life" topics.
Even if I can't understand the conversation word by word, I can still grasp the general meaning.
And:

The podcasts often feature some medical terms, but in a way that a "regular" person can understand what's going on.
I just finished listening to one about high blood pressure, and I learnt some interesting things (my mum has high blood pressure so I found them useful too).
I also checked out the Nihongo no Mori channel and it looks very promising!
I wish I knew about podcasts and stuff like that when I first started learning English; I hate the fact that I need to consentrate real hard now when watching a movie in English (especially British), and if I forget my headphones, I'm basically doomed for the first half an hour (until it "clicks"). I'd really love to avoid that with my Japanese xD
