I have been listening to lots of Russian podcasts and YouTubers for many years now. I have to say Max, (and Julia) for me is the best by far. He has these hilarious adventures on motorbikes and in Ladas (watch the videos) that have me in stitches. Interspersed and intertwined in the general hilarity is deep educational content, all transmitted in a relaxed easy-going manner. In short - it's highly entertaining and interesting content, which is just right for lower, and intermediate level.
