SBS (Special Broadcasting Service) is a broadcasting service in Australia. It uses both traditional and online modes of transmission. Because I don't live in Australia, I use their online media.
SBS broadcasts in many different languages, Filipino being one of them. I utilize the SBS Filipino podcasts. Most of them are short, usually no longer than 15 minutes. The spoken Filipino is pretty clear and not too fast. Sometimes SBS Filipino will also play a little bit of Australian news, which introduces a bit of English; this can be helpful to better understand the content but sometimes it is annoying when I don't want to hear any English.
Here are ways to access SBS Filipino:
SBS also has a Facebook and Youtube channel but there is more mixed content there and it seems that the Youtube channel is not consistently updated. Aside from that and the annoying English news clips in some podcasts that I mentioned earlier, SBS Filipino is a resource I like and use.

Here are ways to access SBS Filipino:
- SBS Filipino main webpage. This is the main page. I like that it is completely in Filipino. You can listen to the most up-to-date broadcast as well as previous broadcasts. There are also previous broadcasts displayed like little news articles with headlines that are all in Filipino. This helps to improve reading.
- SBS Filipino podcast page. The podcasts are arranged nicely and the descriptions are all in Filipino. The archive is huge.
- SBS Filipino podcast on iTunes. For those who use iPhone. The last 20 broadcasts/podcasts are available.
- SBS Filipino app. The link takes you to a page where you can download the iPhone app or the Android app. I don't have any experience with this app, but I assume it works in a similar way to the website.
