This is truly one of the better language podcasts I've heard. Short, sweet, and simple enough to grasp. Just one suggestion... It would be great if you included the dialog in both English and Japanese in the description description or lyrics windows. Or possibly include a link or the web address to the specific page on this site. Sometimes my ears have a tendency of mixing up sounds. Being able to view the words would help correct any pronunciation issues.

Thanks!
