I'm wondering what people do for listening material in Esperanto. Personally, I feel that listening comprehension is the core of language learning. But, being a constructed language, there's obviously not a lot of high-quality listening material for advanced or fluent speakers of Esperanto.

Radio Verda seems to have finished (although there is the back catalogue), and some of the other radio programs (like from Radio Poland) that used to be around seem to be gone now. Does anyone have any recommendations? Are there any high-quality audiobooks?

It would be interesting if very high level Esperantists would get together to discuss politics, literature, etc. and then release their discussions as a podcast.

That's actually the concept of our podcast. Check out http://kern.punkto.info. Our topics "tekniko, kulturo, socio" are maybe more focused to technology, internet culture rather than to literature and politics.

Audiobooks would be nice. Perhaps they already have been produced. Surely there must be professional actors in the Esperanto community. Maybe the association of blind Esperantists have organised something.

Trawling through YouTube sometimes throws up nice surprises, I mean audio recordings in Esperanto.

As you are in Europe, there will be plenty of Esperanto conferences and congress you might attend (funds permitting) details here Internacia kalendaro de Esperanto-aranĝoj

I have been enjoying your podcasts. The subject matter is more interesting for me than some of the other sources I've listened to. It's nice to hear conversation not (directly) about Esperanto itself (I enjoyed the duolingo discussion/interview).

I would highly recommend the app Muzaiko. Its available for Andrioid, iPhones or just on a computer. It has a compilation of most if not all the Esperanto podcasts as well as a show that plays music and has interviews etc.

But then you don't have all the other podcasts at your fingertips, that the app is suggesting you.

And a Librivox audiobook of Alicio en Mirlando is available for free here; I enjoyed listening to it.
