Reddit mentions of German: Short Stories for Beginners + German Audio: Improve your reading and listening skills in German. Learn German with Stories (German Edition)

Hmm, yeah that's a bit trickier. Some ideas:

1. You can find some TedX talks on youtube with both English and German subtitles. Some are auto-generated, but some are done by an actual translator.
   
   
2. Assimil has a French based advanced German course. If you speak French that's the easiest option, but the audio and German text might do you some good on its own if you don't need much help understanding it.
   
   
3. German language podcasts with transcriptions might be available - I haven't looked personally, but it seems like a thing that might exist.
   
   
4. Other materials for German learners. While I haven't used any of them personally, this list looks like it might have some good options for you: https://www.fluentu.com/blog/german/intermediate-german-podcast/ . There are also German short story books with accompanying audio:

5. Keeping with your TV idea might be the most entertaining option. If you're at the level where you can understand a fair bit of material meant for native speakers then I'd suggest just using that or the audiobook/kindle thing and highlight any sentences you want, then copy them from your kindle homepage into your SRS (though that might be unwieldy if you want both the English and German versions - still possible with two versions of the e-book, but it sounds like a hassle).
   
   Not sure if any of these will be helpful - I wish I had something better to suggest! If only the world had more Assimil lol.
