What it is
Unscripted multi-speaker conversation is the hardest listening skill and this is the best learner-oriented source of it: real interruptions, opinions and slang, but from teachers who keep things intelligible. Excellent preparation for native podcasts. Free on YouTube and podcast apps, with transcripts and vocabulary behind a paid tier; the pace will overwhelm you below solid B1.
