This podcast sounded like it might be work-related (tech). Unable to follow along at all.

Learned a new phrase today. Not convinced it’ll be much help with daily conversation: 氨基酸

Podcast listening on the morning commute. I missed the overall topic of conversation but was able to pick out snippets here and there.

This one went over my head. Listened to a discussion on distributed finance. Only managed to pick up that there was lots of stuff being given away for free.

Podcasts at breakfast. Had a bit of a look around for alternative listening sources that have the convenience of a podcast but didn’t find anything yet.

Listening while cooking isn't the best. Too easy to zone out and let the conversation become background noise.

Tried listening while out running. Great environment for focus, but terrible if you want to look anything up.

This was a "year in review" podcast from last year. Being able to anchor the conversation in the odd English phrase really helps me follow the subsequent Chinese discussion. I still need my anchor points to get my brain into gear.

Another episode of The Avocado Toast 🥑 podcast. This one I was able to follow along a little better. Not sentence level, but topic level.

Avocado Toast Podcast - I'm 100% dependant on the odd acronym to tell me what is being discussed, but I am recognising the odd phrase here and there.
