What is the best language podcast?

What is the best language podcast currently?

I have visited many language podcast websites, I think so far only Chinesepod and Jpod101 had truely impressed me. What do you all think?

For Chinesepod, they seem very dedicated to teach Chinese, the same apply to Jpod101 as well.

The other language podcast that is also pretty good is the French Pod Class, seems pretty dedicated. The downside is that they only have 90 lessons so far. And 1 new lessons every two weeks.

ESL pod seems pretty good as well, they did a good job by promoting English as a 2nd language.

The other podcast that is worth mentioning is the Learn French by Podcast, their PDF content is really impressive, probably the most impressive one among all the podcast, I hope Jpod101 can do the same thing and improve its PDF content.

What do you think can be improved on the Jpod PDF's?

I think the J-Pod PDFs are really good. I only started listening about 4 months ago, but the ones I've seen are pretty heavy duty.
What do you like about the Frenchy guy's PDFs? I never saw them.

I listened to Chinese Pod and that French Podcast and they are OK, but the sound quality is so cheap.
J-Pod sounds really good. Has anyone else noticed that?

Yep, and the couple k-class lessons that I've listened to have had really sounded good, as well. (I haven't looked at the pdfs there.) The last time I listened to anytime-english.com, it had a decent ammount of excess background noise, along with very awkward pronounciations in their dialog. (listening to it was suggested to understand what all goes into creating a lesson for learners of a second language)
