Russian to the Max

I used to listen to Russian with Max but I have since improved to the point that his podcasts are too easy. I'm looking to find other Russian podcasts which are a little more difficult but which also contain subtitles. Can anyone recommend?

On what basis?
aronald

you asked this question on a separate post and it comes off as rude to the original poster
Paulioso

There is no logic in your statement, we are a community of language learners and if a separate post exists which has been re-posted on a reply simply to get broader visibility then I don't see the issue. I make no apologies for trying to ensure like minded people see my post. Some people have too much time on their hands clearly.

On a side-note, Max is also the host of the Russian LingQ Podcast, which includes transcripts. He's great!

Anyone thinking of importing Max's YT videos, note that most of them do not have a license that would allow you to make them public here. Some of his earlier videos have a CC license, but it doesn't appear that he continued that. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, if you want to respect and support his work, respect his IP rights.

Yeah Russian with Max is epic. Like Atlan said: you can just import from youtube into lingq. But yeah, it might be worth supporting him directly, his stuff is great.

As I commented below, I was talking about his podcasts and not his videos. His stuff is great.

You can of course support him, but if you just want the transcripts for the Youtube videos, the subtitles are available in Russian, so you can download to LingQ.

I already do that. Reading the transcripts of his videos is often my main activity on LingQ. However, I was talking about his podcasts. He has longer podcasts that are really good listening practice. They are free but the transcripts are part of his membership program. I think I'll just get the program and see. Worst that happens is he gets a bit of my cash for all his hard work.
