Thread: Podcasts in Russian for beginners?

I know about A Spoonful of Russian - are there any others which I could try?

Well, how big is your spoon?

Answering my own question (I should probably get out more ) I have since found this: http://www.tasteofrussian.com/ which is about my level.

Especially the last one in the list.

This is an English joke. It comes from a Monty Python sketch in the 1970's. I can't remember it in full but it was very silly.

Luckily the nice people at Omniglot have included a quick explanation with a link to the video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6D1YI-41ao and the transcript is at http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/hungry.htm
