Listed categories are those listed for the channel in Apple Podcasts and may be less descriptive than desired. For more detailed descriptions of these channels, try reading channel descriptions in the Apple Podcasts app or the小宇宙 podcasts app. You can also take a look at the resources listed on this page, as these typically contain more detail about each channel.

I personally believe that this type of listening practice is the most difficult option because there are no transcripts or subtitles to go along with the audio, as is very common on nearly all forms of Chinese language video content. If you are at the level where you struggle to understand audio-only content, it’s advised to practice listening with this type of content primarily when you are not able to watch subtitled video content, such as while driving, walking, exercising, etc. Video content will add much greater context when learning new vocabulary and will allow you to check your understanding by reviewing the subtitles.
