this podcast is definitely geared more towards advanced beginners and intermediate chinese learners since the podcaster does not offer an audio translation in the same episode but i believe transcripts are available if you become a patron. even so, you will still get a lot out ofthe podcast both linguistically and culturally. the podcaster speaks very clearly and slow enough that you will hear every word but not slow enough to be annoying. its also a very pleasant voice. the mandarin also sounds very standard which is a big plus
