I stumbled across "itunes university" (part of the itunes store) where there are a fair number of free videos available in Chinese. Some are very dry (there's a whole university course in accountancy), but a lot are pretty decent.

I haven't watched any in great detail yet, but these two on a cursory glance looked interesting (search in itunes for them):

"我的太阳创新360" has a whole lot of short programmes on everything (magic, art, etc), and have lots of footage rather than being someone talking at a camera. Not classroom based.

"中国课堂“ also looks interesting. It's primary school kids' lessons which have been filmed. Them doing maths or whatnot. The language is a lot easier!

Might be worth a look.

Definitely some cool stuff! Conversations in Chinese has a series of short video interviews with a young Chinese girl on various topics. Good for helping develop listening skills! Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out, pretty cool.

Actually, and this might have been the subject of a previous post, do you know if audio stuff are available (not necessarily only on itunes) ?

Found this old thread which was useful :)

I just found in another Skritter thread the site slow-Chinese.com which has podcasts and archived material read at a pace slower than normal but not too slow.

Another site with free podcasts at all levels: http://www.cslpod.com/One/Pod/List/Default.aspx
