I've recently lost my podcast list do to an unfortunate smart-phone crash. My google-fu is good.

I was trying to get back all the podcasts in French & Italian I've been listening to, and add some Mandarin ones. I've found a couple of old threads, which seemed to only have links to learning a language with a podcast, not listening to native stuff with podcast media.
Old Podcast Thread
I found a well maintained list of learning a language with podcasts by a HTLAL member.
Language Podcasts
and finally I found the Super Challenge recommendations for French and for Italian but they are both sadly lacking in PODCASTS!!

So I'm asking very nicely if anyone knows of an interesting podcast in French, Italian or Mandarin please post it here. I really want to listen to interesting stuff, not just listen because it is in an interesting language. Also it would be WONDERFUL if people could populate some more of the Super Challenge recommendations using the links above.

Finally if anyone has the link to "Lezioni di Musica" in Italian I would appreciate it.

On a more general note, if anyone knows how to edit the Wiki, I believe it would be good to have one single page, broken down by language (e.g. a table) where people can put in new podcasts and links. This is good for everyone TAC teams, Super Challengers, and just for use to generally point people to that page.

Try downloading some of the podcasts for reports on the website RTS.ch for French. It's
Swiss French, but that shouldn't matter to you.

Mandarin intermediate level:

- The Chairman's Bao: http://www.thechairmansbao.com/
- Slow Chinese: http://www.slow-chinese.com/


For kids:

- yumiaomiao: http://yumiaomiao.com/
- 虹巴伦: http://www.hongbalun.com/
-兒童之路: http://www.childroad.com/


Mandarin advanced level (search their title in your favourite podcast application):

- 时尚玩家(interesting and sometimes not too complicated: talk show about people who do
interesting stuff)
- 友聊
- 开卷八分钟 (literature)
- Skeptoid (science, no longer updated)
- 声形漫步
- 汇爱听悦读
- 锵锵三人行 (video show with transcripts)

Also: BBC news and the Deutche Welle have podcasts with transcripts, in addition to their
normal programmes.

The TV station 凤凰卫视 has programmes with transcripts.

And of course, there are podcasts that are rather Mandarin lessons: ChineseLearnOnline,
ChinesePod, Popup Chinese, cslpod, iMandarinPod, etc.

A few Italian ones I like (most are from the RAI):

Eta Beta: about technology startup companies and culture.

Radio 3 Scienza: science.

Life - Obiettivo Benessere: health and well-being.

Il disinformatico: computing, aimed at a general audience.

I had never heard of Digitalia nor Radio24 so I'll look into these!

Here’s the archive where you can download the episodes one by one starting from the 2012 season.

Lessons from 2011 can only be streamed online. Watch out for the link to “Lezioni 2011” on the same page.

If you prefer to let your gadget do all the work, here’s the Rss feed to download the episodes automatically (the available episodes are those from the 2012 season to yesterday).
