Which of these podcasts do you like best?

[mr tin]

Since Chinesepod stopped giving out free intermediate and above podcasts, I've been on a quest for the best free intermediate podcast. I read numerous posts, and came up with a long list. I threw out the sites that didn't have free podcasts, and posted my reviews of the remaining sites here (http://www.chinese-forums.com/showpo...ostcount=57).I spent more time with the best 5 of the podcasts, and narrowed it down to 3. I find all of these quite excellent. Although I can, and in fact may, use them all, I'm curious - of these 3, which one do you like the best? Please try a lesson from each before voting.I want a free intermediate Mandarin learning podcast. I use them for listening practice while I'm out walking. I don't use transcripts. Not including the three I list, do you have a different favorite? (Please don't mention textbooks, videos or native level materials.)Here is a copy of my reviews of the 3 podcasts:http://www.cslpod.com/English/Default.aspx600+ podcasts. Unlike chinesepod, the intermediate lessons are quite comprehensible, meaning they explain most of the non-beginner vocabulary in the dialogues, and use mostly beginner vocabulary in their explanations. Unfortunately, the dialogues are a little slow. But the majority of the podcasts are normal speed explanations. All Mandarin. Sound quality good, although occasionally just fair. The lesson I listened to was about 8 min. Free transcripts.http://www.imandarinpod.com/hoola/200+ intermediate podcasts. Quite comprehensible. Except for the occasional single english word translation, all Mandarin. Sound quality good, although just fair in some of the older lessons. The first lesson I completed was about 20 min. Free transcripts.http://www.chineselearnonline.com/There are hundreds of podcasts, divided into 5 levels. The level 3 podcast I tried was a little below my level. Very nice, pleasant Chinese voices. No banter, lots of repetition drills. The level 4 podcast I tried was about right. There were some repetition drills. No english in level 4, and a little bit of emotionless banter. In both cases, the lesson starts with a dialogue, thoroughly analyses it, then repeats it. Sound quality excellent. The level 4 lesson I listened to was about 20 min. About 20 free pinyin transcripts and 4 free complete transcripts per level.
