Hi everyone!
Since my Italian is getting worse (joking, it's for my girlfriend), I ask you advice
about Italian podcasts. The ideal is something aimed to the learner, but where everything
is in Italian and there are no grammar explanation (my model here is something like Daily
French or Notes in Spanish intermediate).
Do you know any? Thank you very much!

My recommendation: Rai - Il terzo anello ad altavoce.
I use the classics, but I'm sure there must be lots of other things.
Site navigation is not always very clear IMHO (that's the reason why I won't provide a starting link), but you're Italian, so there won't be a language barrier.

It seems to be more like audiobooks than podcasts?
Why no grammar btw? Is she learning it elsewhere? If she hates it, radio Arlecchino should make it more fun. that's almost the only Italian grammar resource I can tolerate.

This is the closest I could find to something like Notes in Spanish when I first started learning Italian (I still
enjoy listening to it):
Al Dente from Podclub

I've been looking for Italian podcasts also. I like that Arlecchino and Al dente both
have transcripts; I've downloaded a couple episodes and will check them out tonight.
I think your Italian is a lot better than mine, so RaiRadio3's Lezioni di rock
might work for you. It's a bit too hard for me, and I can only understand random parts
of the show.

I've found most RAI Radio podcasts suitable for intermediate (depending on your definition of intermediate of course). For something learner-oriented, I enjoyed The Italian Culture Show; unfortunately they stopped making new episodes a while ago, but there's a decent archive of old ones. It has episodes at different levels: the intermediate/advanced ones are all Italian while the more basic ones have English too.
I've never heard of Al Dente before but it looks great, I'll check it out myself.

Thank you very much guys!
The idea is something that she can download in her cellphone and listen when she takes
the bus to go to work. She needs to get used to spoken Italian, she already has a grasp
of the grammar. That's why I'm thinking at podcasts. Podcasts with grammar explanations
are too boring and require more focus so are not ok for the purpose.
I have to try myself the ones you adviced me :)
