Why is it good to listen?

There are 5 hosts 動漫廢物阿主持 (dung6 maan6 fai3 mat6 aa2 zyu2 ci4), 漫遊者 (maan6 jau4 ze2), 夜神 (je6 san1), 夏目貝 (haa6 muk6 bui3), 蝶野刑警 (dip6 je5 jing4 ging2) in this podcast, all speaking perfect Cantonese. Their speech is at a slightly fast conversational pace, but the female presenter 夏目貝 (a6 muk6 bui3) and one of the guys have “lazy pronunciation” on a lot of words – missing a lot of starting or ending “n”, “ng”, and “g” when pronouncing words like “ngan” (眼), she prounces it as “ahn”; “heng” (行) as “hen”; “pung” (朋) as “pun”; “dong” (當) as “don”; “gong” (講) as “gon”. The conversations among the hosts are natural and casual, there aren’t a lot of formal words used; actually, their speech contains a lot of slangs, and even profanity from time to time. Each episode is split into 2 to 3 audio files and introduces a different comic/anime so listeners who are comic fans will enjoy it.
