Korean: Beginner podcasts suggestions

Hello, need some audio material to familiarize myself with how Korean sounds. When I started learning French, I listened to a lot of InnerFrench podcast, ie a podcast with clear pronunciation, just to get the gist of how the language sounds, what’s the rythm, etc. I was wondering whether there is something similar in Korean? I’m okay with importing it myself, or using another podcast app. Please, share your experience

You can just search for beginner podcast on YouTube, there are quiet a few. One I used on the beginner and now on the intermediate stage is Choi Susu (최수수):

YouTube is generally a good source, both for podcasts as well as videos explaining grammar. And korean native content is also represented there, like this:

This is pretty advanced stuff, of course, but with some help of ChatGPT you might get the rough idea of what’s been talked about once you’ve digged deeper into the language and the content is pretty interesting (true crime, historical events et. al.).

Oh, and this is hilarious:

This one is so wholesomely goofy… Slice of life is prob the best for learning everyday vocabulary. Love it.
