What it actually is
A hugely popular Japanese podcast about language: etymology, writing systems, why a construction feels wrong, with frequent detours into Japanese grammar as native speakers experience it. For a learner it is the rare native show whose subject matter directly feeds your study, and the explanatory format means points get restated more than once. It is unscripted, fast and full of puns, though, so it is a genuine B2-plus listen; the YouTube version has Japanese subtitles that make it considerably more tractable.
