Browsing through the BBC iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio) that I definitely like too much (unfortunately, outside the UK only the radio programmes are available... <covers face with a kimono sleeve to hide the running tears... ok, just kidding>), I came across this very interesting audition about shinto:
It's really informative, and presents shinto in historical, mythological and religious context, juxtaposing it with other religious systems. Program is free to listen, and available from any country in the world - just click the 'listen now' button on top of the synopsis. Podcast lasts about 45 minutes. Oh, needless to say: it's in English.
One of the guests is Ms. Lucia Dolce - Senior Lecturer in Japanese Religion and Japanese at my home university - the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London!
Enjoy!
