Not only does this podcast have the coolest title image ever it features some of the most laid back yet instantly useful Japanese lessons around. The lessons contain real samples of language as actually used by Japanese people plus commentary by host Alex Brooke, who is obviously having a good time recording the material - a point which makes the whole thing so much easier to listen to. Excellent stuff, available via iTunes or the Learn Japanese blogpage.
i'll vouch for the fact that alex is having a good time while making his podcasts, and so are the rest of us!
his japanese is pretty jouzu as well--something he never rubs in yer face as quite a few "experts" of the language often do. a very humble guy he is.

p.s. if you want to here more japanese in natural settings and pick up on the local culture and vibe, then watch our other podcasts on http://www.newsfromtheotherside.com
