Summary

The China232.com Podcast is produced by two Canadian brothers, Andrew and Addison, living in Shanghai. The quality of the podcast audio and the lessons is great, and they provide transcripts with explanations of idiomatic expressions! Podcast topics range from fun stuff like dating and sports to business English. The brothers speak slowly and clearly so that students can understand even difficult material more easily.

I received this link from a teacher in China who says he uses these podcasts for his classes and the students love them! Once you've listened to a podcast, you can participate in discussion on the site through the forum. Keep up with the latest from China232.com by tuning into the blog.
