Hi everyone, one of my hobbies is to listen to the radio shows of my favorite radio talk show hosts, which I download from their websites in mp3 format. (The thing l like about these mp3 files is they take out all the advertisements). There is a small monthly subscription fee for this.

I was thinking, if I could get something similar in Japanese I could try listening to these (I could benefit even though I would understand very little at this stage).

So does anyone know of any Japanese radio talk shows with mp3 files that can be dowloaded? Thanks.

Itunes obviously has plenty of those, you just have to set the store to Japanese. It's usually free. I don't think they come in mp3 format though, but you can always convert them down the line.

This thread also has a few recommendations.
