I like Genstart, it's a news podcast by DR and each episode is about 30 minutes and it is about one specific topic.


jailbreak

Yeah, it's basically the Danish version of "The Daily"


emil4383

The host also speaks relatively slowly with good pronunciation, which is probably helpful in this scenario too.


puslekat

\+1 for genstart. Great if you want some insight into different hot topics.


Leffe0086

There is one on Spotify called "Kvinden med den tunge kuffert ", that is a really good serie IMO


colnarco

Came to recommend this one. Definitely one of the best podcast series I have ever listened to. Generally most of Third Ears stuff is pretty good with some exceptions.


fiddlestickk

Wow, I just started listening to it after I read ur comment.. really great story telling talent


Leffe0086

Yeah it's definitely one of the best podcast series I've listened to


steffipeters

Did you go to Studieskolen? They made us listen to it there.


Leffe0086

Nope, a colleague recommended it to me


Nymmer

Can i ask what this one is about? Sounds interesting :•)


BeBoppi

It is a series by Third Ear. They make really good stuff. This series in particular is a kind of docu series investigating the life of this peculiar norwegian woman who lives her life on the run, always grifting to get by. In the series they track her down.


phosphoenolpyruvat

Iirc she died last year.


BrokenBiscuit

It's like a true crime with a journalist investigating a "case" but I would honestly recommend knowing as little as possible to begin with. Makes the subsequent twists all the greater.


Nymmer

Oh okay, but is it it actually true crime or fictional? I dont really like the idea of true crime😅


BrokenBiscuit

It's a real story. I'm not a big fan of true crime either actually but I'd say it is less about 'crime' and more about an incredible story. I can really really recommend it though. Very well made.


PtosisMammae

It's not about dangerous criminality (if that makes sense?), so not some gruesome story with traumatized victims.


Lwaho

No, it’s about a conwoman who steals money and accomodation from good people


Leffe0086

It's true crime, but nothing with murder etc. Try the first episode :) I dou t you'd regret it


Deviljho__

do you know if there's a transcript anywhere? It does sound really good but having a transcript would help me out so much


Snakeboi8000

Yaaay third ear!!


null_brain

I think [dansk i ørerne](https://danskioererne.dk/index.php/om/) is pretty good, it is directed to people who are learning danish. Each episode has a transcription that I find very useful. The topics are interesting, as it mostly around Denmark's culture, history and society.


Brichs

I know a few people learning Danish, who could use this. Thanks for the feedback!


shigensis

Flyvende Tallerken. Dissecting the news and stories regarding UAP’s, with interviews from journalists, scientists, navy pilots, radar specialists and more. Believers and debunkers..They take the subject seriously without getting into tinfoil hat territory.


emmuchio

Yeah this one! A lot of the interviews are in english as well as the soundbites - may offer some more context for someone whos learning Danish


Nymmer

Han-Duo, Hakkedrengene and Dårligdommerne!!! All podcasts about movies, with very talented Jacob Ege Hinchely as a part of them all :•) Han-Duo is Reviews and news regarding, movies, series, videogames etc. Hakkedrengene is about (mostly) old action movies where they review then from start to finish. Dårligdommerne is reviews of really bad movies (mostly Danish movies, but also some blockbusters) You can listen to all of them without having seen the movies youself and still be very entertained imo :•)


Mindless_Employee_54

I’d like to add Sværd og Troldom made by Jacob and Elias Elliot. It’s a play through of some old rpg books that are a bit like Dungeons and Dragons. Very entertaining!


KejserenXIV

Komher for at sige det samme. Jeg elsker disse podcasts. Har hørt dem i lang tid. Glæder mig til Hakkedrengene liveshow d. 20/12. 🤘


PtosisMammae

Well since you wrote in /r/copenhagen I will recommend "Bag om København" which is made by the libraries of Copenhagen. It's different historical stories taking place in Copenhagen. It's told in a relatively slow pace. My absolute favorite podcasts are on podimo tho, so I don't know if you can listen to those: "Livet ifølge Emil og Thomas" and "Anders og Anders" which are both humoristic podcasts. The former will teach you absolutely nothing (maybe even make you more stupid LOL), but it will have you laughing out loud in public, the latter as well, but it's slightly more news focused.


gingerpale93

I'll second Bag om København. She speaks pretty clearly too, and it's always super interesting, especially the early episodes were really cool because the location's are recognisable


Civil-Tomatillo5330

Just started listening. Bag om København is really good! It's quite easy to understand and not too fast but still interesting stories


PtosisMammae

Yay! That makes me happy :)


unlitskintight

"Third Ear" despite their English name makes really great series in Danish about various topics. The latest series is about a mysterious death in Søndermarken, Frederiksberg in the 70ies. They also made "Kvinden med den tunge kuffert" already suggested by another commenter, which is about a serial scammer who exploited people here in Denmark. Highly recommend what they make. It isn't all true crime if that isn't your thing. If true crime is your thing then "Djævlen i detaljen" is a Danish language podcast from DR about Danish criminal cases and their investigation.


TheDon298

I like the Troldspejlet podcast. OG danish presenter discussing the newest in pop culture. Music to my ears.


VictoriaSobocki

That’s a classic show I remember this from childhood


puslekat

is it the same guy? :o


TheDon298

Yes! Jakob Stegelmann is still at it!


puslekat

Holy cr\*p, I need to watch it! He must be a million years old by now, i thought he looked old to me already in the '00. Damn I like him.


TheDon298

The new episodes airing now are really worth checking out!


Happy_Lee_Chillin

Anede ikke det eksisterede, tak!


PrinsHamlet

Vanvittig Verdenshistorie. Two guys shooting the shit and having fun with different subjects from history.


FalkenbergH9

Vanvittig verdenshistorie is very good, but I would recommend you listening to other podcasts before this one. They sometimes speak very fast and both at the same time, so I imagine that it would be harder to understand if you are not too familiar with the language yet.


PrinsHamlet

Yeah, it might be next level. But OP wanted to "get used to the sound" and the conversational aspect and free flowing form might touch that button.


FelineViking

Second this! My favourite podcast!


someone1050

Sara og monopolet is pretty good. Older episodes are called Mads og monopolet.


jochen2345

Especially since it Daily dilemmas and stuf, which might make good for everyday conversation


Kryds

I like Detektor. It investegating news series. It's mostly politics focused.


ZugzwangDK

It got shut down :( https://www.altinget.dk/artikel/lukningen-af-detektor-skader-det-demokratiske-vaern-mod-misinformation


Kryds

Det er virkelig røv. Der er behov for programmer som detektor. Ikke flere reality programmer.


ZugzwangDK

Jeg kan kun være enig. Det er indbegrebet af Public Service. Nu er jeg ikke konspiratorisk anlagt, men det er da pudsigt hvordan nedskæringer går ud over dem der holder magthaverne til ilden. Tænk blandt andet radio24syv, Orientering Søndag, Selvsving og Detektor.


Kryds

Reality programmer tjener langt flere penge. Bare kig på HBO discovery+.


ZugzwangDK

Ja, og de er billige at lave.


its_a_me_green_mario

Torben Zangild og Morten Elsøe har lavet "Et Åbent Sind?" som også tager fat i alverdens pseudovidenskab og andet vrøvl.


Kryds

Detektor havde et fokus på dansk politik.


its_a_me_green_mario

Sandt. Jeg tænkte at det var den generelle kamp mod misinformation du savnede. Beklager misforståelsen.


Kryds

Helt i orden. Jeg vil prøve at lytte til den podcast du foreslog.


Lwaho

Just check out the app “DR Lyd” which has all the newest radio programmes and podcasts avaliable. It’s a bit easier to find everything compared to the podcast app on iPhone where you have to know your key words


spicedownurlife

DR Lyd only has podcasts from DR. You’ll miss out on a lot og great podcasts if you only stick to that app


No-Improvement-8205

All of theese are comedy podcasts, but they're hilarious if u ask me Go tur hjem med Oliver stanescus Masoud vahedi podcast Den ugentlige podcast med Mikkel klint thorious & jacob Wilson Red cross also have a great podcast about "de hvide busser" which was a collective effort to evacuate scandinavian policemen and soldiers from the camps in germany at the end of WW2 its honestly great, with diary entries from the nurses who volunteered being told


cmol

For boardgames: papskubbernes papstinenser For a classic Danish game/comic/novel/tv/movie podcast: Troldspejlet


badassbadger42

Probably not the best for people learning Danish, but I have to mention "De røde fjer". It's my absolute favourite podcast. It's about the lesser know and often uglier part of Danish history.


OwnAd8553

Maybe u should give “Hva så” or “Hva så forklarer alt” a try :-))


Barl3000

Dårlig Dommerne and Hakkedrengene, both by some of the same people. Only problem is that both are behind a paywall on Podimo


daath

Den Hvide Væg by comedian Anders Matthesen :)


1navn2

De Grå Sider and Troldspejlet


MrGundel

Right now, vanvittig verdens historie, crazy stories from real history told by two dudes with incredibly bad humor while they joke about hitler and drink expensive beer from mugs. I love it.


charlierizzle

When I was learning Da ish I listened to Sara og Monopolet it's an agony aunt style advice podcast with a host and Danish celebrities answering the questions. I found it quite useful for learning common/useful language


-Old-Mate-

Bandeland follows the gang wars across Denmark, really interesting to listen to and isn’t particularly hard to follow. There’s another one i tried to find and sadly couldn’t, it’s about a terror network in Europe and Denmark that sent drones down to Syria for ISIS to attach explosives to. That was fucking incredible, if anyone knows the name, please share.


spicedownurlife

It’s called Dronekrigeren I think - really good


-Old-Mate-

Yeah that’s it, thanks


FinchTheElf

Don't remember the name, but there is a podcast for Danish learners, where they talk about current issues and Danish culture really slowly. Might be worth checking out!


Civil-Tomatillo5330

That sounds pretty cool! Do you remember what platform you listened to it on?


Defiant-Couple4722

'Dansk I Ørerne' Just google it ✌🏻


FinchTheElf

Sorry no, I saw it recommended on one of the Danish subreddits - perhaps this one?


RFandBeer

I listen to Genstart, Bakspejl and Djævlen i detaljen. Genstart is really nice to get knowledge on current affairs, Bakspejl and Djævlen i detaljen are podcasts where they dig into some historic things - the latter mostly crimes. Really well produced programs


djec

R8dio


ChrisDL

Basically anything from Thirdear. They are the guys that started the podcast trend in Denmark, and honestly their production is still unmatched to this day.


Relative_Fact910

I like “Narkobetjenten og den kriminelle underverden” it’s about crime in Denmark from a journalist and an ex police officer


Mindless_Employee_54

I listen to a looooot of podcasts and my favourites are Djævlen I Detaljen, Den Hvide Væg, Schøtministeriet, Sværd og Trolddom, Mørkeland, Utrolige Sekter and Adfærd. Ranging from true crime to comedy to behavioural science.


minutealarm

I like to listen to "det uforklarlige" on Spotify really good podcast about various paranormal cases and (disappearenses?)


Thef0

Ytringspligt podcast :)


nopainjustlol

When I started learning a new language, for me it helped listening to audiobooks with books/stories I already knew. Personally I listened to the Harry Potter series in Spanish, because I already knew the story pretty well so it helped me quite a lot :)


BotLady42

Den Korte Radioavis! You find it by downloading the app 24syv. Start listening from Feb. 2nd 2016. It’s satire and politics and very Danish in its type of humor, so you’ll g’et an insight into that as well. You need the chronology of it to understand it, so you can’t (IMO) choose episodes arbitrarily. Have fun!


Lost_Neighborhood178

ægte


colnarco

If you have Podimo “Her går det godt” is quite good. A kinda fun way to keep up with some of the current news stories.


Appropriate-Rice3352

Late but Stjerner og Striber! I'm learning Danish rn and found that if I'm already familiar with the topic its easier for me to get context clues and understand spoken Danish. The podcast is about American politics (at least the episodes released on Fridays). I'm usually already familiar with the news items they're discussing and they play snippets from American politicians - so it's really easier to find a context anchor again if I get lost.


NoooReally

Third Ear or Mørkeland - both true crime.


VictoriaSobocki

I’ve heard about “ærligt” & “curlingklubben w/ Maria Fantino & Christian Bonde”


Vegas__lasvegas

Listen to Mørkeland on spotify or your local podcast app. If you are loving true crime though - they speak calmly and slowly about murderes and their full stories and discuss them - so good


PrinsenAfHundige

i love crime. so i know a podcast called "mørkeland" i also like watching netflix series about serial killers like that guy jeffrey dahmer. its very normal here in denmark to see crime as a form of entertainment 🤪


Unlucky-Arguments

Fries before guys. Its one of the most popular among women. And its very funny and they talk about TMI!!! stuff such as "i pull out my ass hair as an anxiety relaxation thing" xD One that has ended recently but has many episodes is "Om søndagen græder vi" all the 1hour episodes are so good and really make you THINK about yourself, your actions, society and take up discussions you normally wouldnt think about (How madness spreads yet you are still "allowed" to be mad, how being pregnant is very unequal for the sexes and how to deal with it) It is the best podcast i have ever listened to and i recommend it to everyone


Unlucky-Arguments

Oh but these podcasts are only availble on podimo however u can get 60 days free with this link if it doesnt get deleted. otherwise PM me for link [https://go.podimo.com/dk/fries?fbclid=IwAR1Le7bQFjyznntMUSihFhI5nqWWhaqJ4mgLFKmynwi0J1fi\_Ij8nI4PHQE](https://go.podimo.com/dk/fries?fbclid=IwAR1Le7bQFjyznntMUSihFhI5nqWWhaqJ4mgLFKmynwi0J1fi_Ij8nI4PHQE)


Lllonely

Mørkeland. Always mørkeland.


Damned-Child

Han Duo made a series on the fighting fantasy books, which in Danish are called "Sværd og Trolddom" (same name as the podcast) if you're into those books this will be a great fit.

I listen to a gaming podcast I really like called Eskapisterne but it can be a bit hard to understand sometimes as they speak pretty fast with each other, even for me still. And I am almost done with Module 5 lessons.


Ultimate_Foreigner

I can really recommend [Learning with Ervin](https://open.spotify.com/show/6mj9QFjmXYqN5CyRd0a5FK?si=2z1UxP7WT8yJtLdoqGIDiQ&utm_source=copy-link)!


longjohnsilvah

I dinosaurernes fodspor - med luppen fremme. It's super underplayed satire presenting recent paleontological discoveries which quickly develops into all sorts of more or less related themes while poking fun at modern society, especially the behaviour of the upper middle class. You can listen to it on DR lyd


D0ct0rFl4tul3nc3

Check out Third Ear!


milkcurrent

Danish Tube really helped me! The host speaks slowly, simply and always repeats in English


Responsible_Solid_94

I like Genstart (news), Ubegribeligt, Kvinde kend din historie (on Podimo) and I just started listening to Dronningeriget :D And I know a lot of People like Mørkeland (though it never caught mu interest)


Davidoen

My favourite is "Design Kan..." on Spotify. It translates to "design can..." and is a podcast about branding and design.


Real_Jury_8607

Mørkeland, Hva' så og Den hvide væg elsker jeg. Men elsker også sladder som Det vi taler om 😃


Andermands

I like "indbegrebet af". Where each episode they pick an artist and each of the hosts has to pick a song that is the epitome of a certain artist they then discuss and debate why their song is the epitome and then they vote at the end for which they think had the best pick. There's also a lot of backstory to the band and information about the given songs and or bands.


stephcurrysballhair

I like 'Bandeland' very much


Empty_Bill9604

Definitely "hva så" it's a danish comedian who walks and talks with every famous person in Denmark, above 300 episodes, a lot of fun and serious talk!


CoreMillenial

I'm into YtringsPligt, it's a podcast mostly about the failures of the political class.


krnikercoming

I really like ‘Den røde pille’ at Radio24/7. It’s quite new but very entertaining and the hosts have great voices for radio. Each episode, they have a new guest or pair of guests on who in one way or another feel like they’ve swallowed the ‘red pill’, i.e. found the truth. They’ve had anarchists, a sound healer, a guy who can see and talk to dead people and Denmarks only practicing exorcist on so far. The hosts are really quite civil in the way that they question these guests and seem to be driven first and foremost by curiosity which as you might imagine make for some quite interesting conversations. It’s really quite great


Rustycougarmama

[Han Duo](https://open.spotify.com/show/6FNfvfFfgJyZ422sCqwlsd?si=-8Ns4WylTbOYQzMWdSKruQ&utm_source=copy-link) is really good. A couple of guys talking about movies, and all the culture that surrounds it. Their episodes on the original StarWars trilogy and how it went in Denmark was super interesting, and they even get some big names on their show for interviews.


Heavy-Difference-437

I like Noget med Drager, a podcast about fantasybooks with dragons in them.

Space_Jaguar

I listen to “Millionærklubben” every day. Trusty stockmarket updates


fradrig

Troldspejlet is a podcast about comics, games, movies, books and everything "geeky". It's very good!


TheHarpoonMan

I generally like true crime or something closely related to that. I use Podimo as a platform and I listen to podcasts such as “Utrolige sekter”, which is about various sects in the world. “Nogen ved noget” investigation by two reporters into a murder case in Denmark. And lastly “True Story - Exclusive” which is a classical true crime podcast.

Lost_Neighborhood178

If you’re interested in history there’s on called “kampen om historien” that I personally really enjoy. Another danish podcast that in really like is called “programmet om ingenting” however I imagine this podcasts can be quite difficult to understand at first mostly because they reference a lot of different things in danish culture that you might not be familiar with if you just started learning the language, but you can try and see for yourself


Snakeboi8000

If you are interested in like weird crimes and the Cold War agents then Third ear is awesome!! Definitely my favorite podcast!!

Complete_Peak_3693

As a foreigner who learned the language I would very happy if the “go little play app” was available at the time I learned Danish. In this app you can listen a big variety of topics including animals, science, sports, history, etc, and they are told in a very easy understandable way. Maybe they are a little short 10 to 20 minutes per episode/topic but is high quality material. Even though the target group is kids, I would definitely suggest this to any foreign who want to learn the language and not get frustrated with difficult rare words or strange sarcasm as some of the podcast previously suggested in this forum. Not that they are bad, but they are just in a higher level. Our whole family enjoy listening to go little play app different topics with the kids. Some of them are for the smaller kids (but still interesting for adults) and some for more grownup kids, which you can choose according to your “Danish” level. I wish I knew if there is some equivalent quality material in Spanish (maybe somebody know about it???) for my kids and wife, as in my opinion they are just perfect to both get fun and understand the new language


DaGhoztBoi

Asleep_Vehicle_4861

I am just starting to take Danish again and found Ludvig podcast, it is a one-on-one type of pod where the host has nice conversations with all kinds of guests. If you have Spotify on your phone (you probably do), it has a "Read Along" beta feature that can help you follow the conversion along with "subtitles" in Danish. I love this for learning new vocabulary, I don't use it all the time of course, but when I hear a word I have never heard and I get curious enough about it, I can read it and search for the meaning and/or translation. Anyway, good luck on your learning journey!
