ChinesePod is a nice podcast site helping English-speaking people learning daily conversational Chinese. The daily MP3 segment is a little over 10 minutes long, centered in a brief situational dialog. They have five different levels of lessons.
I played a "newbie" level lesson to my daughter. She found it interesting. But there is no question that the lessons are aimed at grownups. During the "newbie" lesson at least, the teachers spent a lot of time talking in English. But they explain the Chinese context and tones fairly well.
The other shortcoming of this site is that only the daily podcast itself is free. To access all other materials, including transcripts, you have to register and pay (after a week-long free trial period).
