Hi guys,
do you know any podcast in Spanish and possibly from Spain spoken at neck-breaking speed that is absolutely
not thought for learners but for natives?
Thank you very much in advance!

Try ivoox.com. There are many podcasts and I presume that they are for native speakers. The
big bonus is that they are free.

I second chrisphillips71's recommendation of ivoox. All of the podcasts are non-learner intended. Also Radio Nacional de España has a ton of their programs available as podcasts. My favorite RNE program is a high quality travel show called Nómadas. This show embodies everything that is good about radio as it paints pictures with words. Every week the Nómadas team goes to an exotic city and takes the listeners along their journey. ¡Vale la pena!
Democracy Now! is a US based newscast with a transcript. It is super fast and the regular announcer is Uruguayan. Amnistía Internacional de España has a weekly newscast with transcript. Both of these come from a left wing perspective.
¡Buena suerte!

I know for a fact that you are concentrating solely on Peninsular Spanish, so you
should only basically use Spain's national television company's media, RTVE:
RTVE: Canal 24 Horas
RTVE: Telediario
RTVE: La 2 Noticias
Informativo de
Madrid
TVE: Los desayunos
La noche en 24
horas
If a certain province of Spain (comunidad de España) interests you, they have
telediarios for each province,
Notícias Aragón
Notícias Castilla-La-Mancha
Notícias Castilla y León
Notícias Murcia
Notícias
Extremadura
Notícias Andalucía
Notícias Asturias
You really cannot run out of media from RTVE. If you are ever in doubt about more
material, keep going back to RTVE. The best thing is that it is all free, funded
straight from the Spanish government.
I am not sure about what "break-neck" speed you mean, because I find that Spanish is
spoken as faster than all of the other 7 languages that I study, and I still find it
quite fast despite it being my strongest language. But I am used to it, and even
though it is faster, it is not difficult to understand. I must inform you, however,
that Spanish in these news broadcasts are spoken much, much faster than anything in
Italian, so I hope that I have provided you with some good Spanish material.
All of the news/programmes that are above are definitely not made for learners or
those with a low level comprehension of Spanish, this is what natives use to get their
news, and I know that when I was in Spain that these are on national television.
Natives use this on a daily basis, thus everything is at native speed.

Thank you very much guys!
@1e4e6, thank you! My level of comprehension of Spanish is actually higher than my comprehension of French and
at the same level of English. Surprisingly, I noticed that since when I listen to Spanish my comprehension of French
has also improved significantly and without listening to any French outside the classes.
I will start to listen to these podcasts and I will let you know :)

For more stuff from a "left" (more specifically anarchist) perspective, there's the Madrid-based http://cabezasdetormenta.com/. Another podcast/radio i listen to regularly is http://lossonidosdemibarrio.blogspot.com, which interviews kids from the "neighborhood" (Hortaleza, in Madrid) about their experiences and projects. They talk about things the kids are into, like boxing, rap, graffiti, basketball, etc. or things that have directly affected them, like the "centros" (aka cárceles) de menores. usually in the form of an interview with one or more kids. There have also been programs with "Madres contra la droga" and other groups that work with kids. There's lots of informal speech and (more importantly) the content is really interesting.
I also enjoy Radio Onda Expansiva, which often has interviews with people who had a part in the history of anarchism, especially in Burgos, though there are other episodes, too, such as a series on the history of Catholicism in Spain, etc.
