Well I doubt there is any trick to learning listening skills. You just have to listen to a ton of German. You might want to try however the Slow German podcast(that's what its called, Slow German).

Deutsche Welle has a good interview series called "Typisch Deutsch" where a range of well-known German people, from footballers to composers, discuss their life achievements.
There are also some interviews with people from other countries who live and work in Germany. Their German varies but I think it can also be a good thing to learn from non-natives. All available on YouTube. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The old fashioned techniques of listening to an ever increasing amout of input and repeating it seems work
for me - somehow forcing oneself to repeat back a long sebtence and then a paragraph or more seems to train the ear to be more attentive in the first place. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What I did was Harry Potter L & R for 3 weeks. I of course don't understand every word I listen to (I don't even know that many), but I recognize all words I know even if the speech isn't exactly clearly spoken.

You may want to use an audiobook instead, should be easier to find.
