you could always buy copies of talk and news shows on DVD and then extract the subtitles. I don't
know how to do it but I know it can be done.

The link I posted is some Xiangsheng / 相声 audios. Sound quality is not really good.

Would "Xiangsheng" be suitable? I know it's famous in China, there must be some scripted audio out
there.....

To rip the subtitles and audio from a DVD..... good idea! I will look into that!

The frustrating thing about CRI is that the files are all streaming audio and can't be downloaded.
At least not as far as I can tell -- does anyone else know a way? I sure wish they would catch on
to the notion of podcasting.

Pretty advanced listening stuff, and focused mostly on US topics, but the Voice of America has
quite a few of their short newscasts in .mp3 format with transcripts. Same with the United Nations
newscasts (a bit more general in content).

Using FlashGet, I just downloaded an audio from there with no problems. I also have the FlashGot
plugin in Firefox, which works together with FlashGet. Hope that helps!

Use SDP. It works great.

iMandarinpod.com might be worth a look. Small number (so far) of downloadable audio files, with
PDFs, etc. No awards are going to be won for production values - dialogs are acted out by a single
speaker for a start - but you get a fair chunk of fairly simple Chinese spoken at a comprehensible
pace.

Had a listen to them yesterday. Liked the podcasts a lot -- though you're right, the production
isn't exactly state of the art. On the bright side, it's all free. Also noticed this on their
website:

"We also provide private lessons and group lessons. A private lesson is good for people who want
to learn Chinese systematically, especially want to speak correct Chinese fluently like a native
Chinese. We will make use of the advantage of internet to conduct the lesson; so that, you don't
need to travel to take part in the class personally. It is a great save of your time and money! In
addition, the private lesson is customized and meet your own requirement. It is on demand service,
and it is just for you!

For the small group lessons, we recommend 2 to 4 people at most. It is a great opportunity to
practice speaking among classmates. We will evaluate each participant to make sure they are at the
same level."
