Naked Cantonese (RTHK)

What it actually is

Cecilie Gamst Berg and Sarah Passmore made this for RTHK Radio 3: seven-to-fifteen-minute lessons on slang, swearing, food ordering and the phrases textbooks refuse to print, delivered as comedy rather than instruction. The full run of roughly two hundred episodes is free from RTHK and the podcast apps. It ended in 2021 and the audio quality shows its age, and it is a supplement rather than a syllabus — but nothing since has been this entertaining about spoken Cantonese.
