Hmm. I find that paying for their pdf transcripts allows me to mimic how I learned the language in school, which I like.
Unfortunately, I still find many genuine media sources to be intimidating, opting still for the contrived dialogs on Cpod.
Also, I recommend Chinese in a Flash flashcards by Tuttle. They are my favorite.
While studying abroad in Shanghai, I was given the task of writing a report on the Tiananmen Square massacre. Finding my efforts stymied at every turn, I sought the advice of a compatriot. He then expounded upon the merits of an ISP which is oft maligned by nerds of every nationality....AOL. All I had to do was sign on and not only was my thirst for knowledge quenched, but all of my deepest carnal desires satisfied. And to cyberon, you foolishly speak of learning Chinese as if it is but an overnight endeavor. But what I find even more surprising is that a linguistic scholar of your caliber is not even aware of ChinesePod.com!
