Chinese Listening Episodes
Fluentide's archive has 293 Mandarin stories rewritten from real news, in 1168 level versions across four HSK levels (HSK 2 to HSK 5+). Each has a transcript, pinyin and line-by-line English. Pick a story, then a level; older stories may not have every level.
The method in practice
Don't pick blind — Fluentide places you at your i+1
Switch between easier and harder versions of the same story. Start with one you mostly understand and use the transcript for the gaps.
