I only recently found this podcast (which was recommended in an article about podcasts for learning Japanese), but I can’t imagine going back! I was just looking for a language learning podcast, and instead found Tofugu. Here they cover everything from the Jet program to grammatical structures unique to Japanese. I’m so excited to continue learning with Tofugu! Thanks guys!

Apple Podcasts4小林カイマナUnited States9 months ago - Great podcast
I only discovered the Tofugu podcast this year & it has been a great way to learn new grammar as well as to maintain my interest level & motivation for learning Japanese. I’ve listened to every episode & am a little sad that they seem not to be making any more—I hope the podcast gets updated again someday soon!
