I listen to about half of a 故事FM podcast then go back to listen to that segment again, pausing to look up words, then listen to the second half. It helps a lot with getting used to regional accents.

Another episode from 故事FM, this one about a young woman wanting to change her name. Although she was talking fast, she had a relatively standard accent. And the topic was compelling enough to encourage listening and comprehension.

Listening to 故事FM podcast No. 454. Although the speaker has a regional accent he’s speaking quite slowly so I can get the gist of it.
