Yeah, I listened to the first 40 or so of Jpod101, got really tired of the American guy and gave up. Might try again, but I'd really like some better listening material for the daily dogwalk. Yomiuri podcasts are a little too fast.
Early in 2006 chinesepod101.com had a series of Mandarin-learning podcasts for Japanese learners. Now those were fun: lots of repetition, and it was beginner-level Chinese so they translated to a lot of beginner-level Japanese. Unfortunately that section of the website is gone now, so I have to appreciate the 1.5 dozen I managed to download.
