TitleAuthentic Web-based Listening for Young Learners of English
Body
I'd like to recommendYouth Radio at http://www.youthradio.org/indexx.shtml. The site is produced by young Americans under the direction of media professionals. It contains hundreds of listening clips, with scripts, in categories including Arts & Entertainment, Education, Environmental, Health, International, Jobs & Money, Lifestyle, Politics, Relationships, Society, Sports, and more. There is also a Podcast option.

Many of the contributors are immigrant teenagers, which makes the content especially interesting to ESL/EFL users. Of course the segments are not written for L2 learners, so the level is rather high, but some segments are short and easy enough that you could use them as is with intermediate-level learners.
