I'm listening for the ear-training, and these guys swallow most of their consonants, so its of no use.

Just like the name says, but its just painfully slow, and no use for natural speech ear training.

Deutsch für Dichter und Denker
The speaker does not know how to use a microphone properly, and sounds like he's 5 feet away from it. He speaks fast, which is OK, but he doesn't enunciate well so all the words kind of mush together. This podcast would be great to test your listening skill under adverse circumstances, but is useless for the beginner/intermediate. Also, the video adds nothing but file size. Skipping this for now, probably forever.
