I like the recommendations for podcasts. They definitely have their place, but its also necessary to practice your skills to check your pronunciation and acquisition of the language and to develop confidence in speaking. The best way to do that is with a language partner, and the internet offers increasingly many sites for finding language partners and practicing with them online. My favorite is http://www.italki.com, which has native Spanish speakers from a variety of countries, allowing me to hear different accents and learn slang from those countries. (Today I was chatting with a guy from Peru and another from Colombia ) I prefer the interactive approach to language learning, but podcasts are a good place to start.

I have tried most of these and absolutely love spanishpod and rojas spanish. Spanishpod is engaging, hilarious, and makes teaches material that is relevant to young adults. Rojas Spanish is great because of its production quality and content, but, definitely not for beginners.
