What it actually is
RFI's learner platform pairs real international news with a player that shows the transcript as it plays and lets you slow the audio down. Content is graded by level and comes with comprehension and vocabulary exercises added weekly. Entirely free and updated daily — probably the best free listening-plus-reading combination for French, and it doubles as a way to keep up with world news.
