I downloaded a radio app called 蜻蜓FM 。I also often use a website/app called Radio Garden, on which you choose a radio station according to geographical location (you basically navigate on a map, really fun).
Passive: (100)
LittleFox 西游记 episodes 16-23
Started JTTW on Youtube.
Active: (30)
Same as usual, listening for sum-up writing. Doing a bit of transcription for a change, and 'listening' to my language partner's correction so as to rewrite a better version.

Background listening: 4 hours
Passive listening: 1h30
- podcasts: LCTS (episode about period drama - play/pause for vocab pick-up) + "5 minutes Chinese" podcast (listened a few times to pick up vocabulary but no time for a transcription exercise)
- Little Fox: 西游记 episodes 11-16
Active listening: 1h
- Little Fox again. Went back a few episodes to pick up some vocab and do at least a one or two sentences sum-up of each episode. I only pick up one out of 5 that I study in depth (vocab pick up first, writing a sum-up, listening again, correcting some sentences etc.).
--> checked on Dae's resource ( Journey to the West audiobook on Youtube) and discovered it is mostly based on HSK4+ vocabulary, which makes it easier than Little Fox, and better in terms of quantity as it is quite long. The narrator's voice is great too in my opinion. Here's the link of the channel, they do have other content:

Background listening: 4 hours (I do not really have a choice there)
Passive listening: 1h
- podcasts: 声音击洗 (at 0,75 speed, and still difficult) + "5 minutes Chinese" podcast (just discovered. There's a list of difficult words at the end, very handy).
- Little Fox: 西游记 episodes 5-10
Active listening: 15mns (sum-up of the episodes above)

--> The whole point of the challenge for me is trying to go through the 108 animated episodes of 西游记/Journey to the West, on the website LittleFox Chinese. Each episode is 5 to 6 minutes long, and I intend to watch about 5/6 per day and sum-up one as active practice. By the way, the website owners have stopped releasing new content, but it's still available to download for free (mp3, audiobook, vocabulary list, transcript and translation in English).

30 mns: passive listening + 10 minutes active listening (西游记）
3h background listening - part of it was the podcast 聊聊东西 / Talk to me in Chinese。
