Are there any anime podcasts for cooking, learning Japanese, etc.?

[Ramune_Necklace]

I'm looking for maybe a series of podcasts that has anime characters (not neccesarily from a series, but just drawn in an anime style) teaching how to cook Japanese(prefferably sushi), learning japanese, or anything else that a podcast could help teach about the Asian "world" (I say world because it seems so far away and more fantastic than america), preferably being in Japanese. I know this seems kinda pin-point accurate, but I am just wondering if any exist. They don't have to be in japanese, but what I am really looking for is an anime-based podcast (or any video, for that matter) that can teach me to make sushi and learn japanese (not being stereotypical, I just REAALY love sushi and I am desperatly trying to learn Japanese). If anyone knows anything similar to this, please help. Domo origato, ??????!
