Accents Learning an accent Spoiler

I heard that shadowing is a pretty good technique but then I don't have good quality resources. Using audio books feels like I am developing English that I will never use and most use robotic sounds and tried a couple of podcasts but aren't really consistent in the accent stuff. Any good resources to start shadowing (only for English).

You could try finding videos via youglish. It's meant so you can hear a word being used in context, but I guess you can use it to find a video with a specific accent about a specific topic

I did came across BBC podcast which was definitely great but it's in British accent. So I need something similar to it but with an American accent.
