虹巴伦: podcasts with transcripts

[laurenth]

Hello, I've just found a useful site which, it seems, has never been mentioned around here. It contains dozens (I think) of high-quality podcasts with transcripts. As I've just started poking around (and downloading), all I can say is that it seems to be geared towards popular science for kids, so intermediate learners might be interested.

It looks like the site hasn't been updated for over a year, so it could vanish any day. Certain podcasts have no transcript (or I couldn't find them) but there are plenty of stories for children and pop science podcasts to download (sound and text), so it's worth exploring.

The site: 虹巴伦

As an example, you will find here podcasts about the sense of smell, the ozone layer, our friends the trilobites and, ahem, the dunkleosteus! (do as I did: check Wikipedia. Ok, that particular podcast might be a bit too arid).


But instead of wandering aimlessly, let's explore the menus. "Yes" means that, in that section, there are podcasts with transcripts. "No" means that there's either text or, more often, sound, but not both (or I couldn't find them).
