Website does not exactly provide podcasts, but rather speeches and dialogues in a form of a radio programme, which cover a wide range of topics. Audio recordings are of excellent quality and include both men and women talking, but only in a British accent. A listener can choose a level from A1 (Beginner) to C1 (Advanced). Each audio file comes with an instruction, pre-listening exercise, a download link, two comprehension tasks, a transcript, downloadable worksheets with tasks and answers and a comment section for discussions between users.

  1. they're good. have no idea though how they decide whether a particular thing is B2 or C1 or any other level. I have had some experience and can't say the difference is huge, sometimes it seemed to me that the choice was completely arbitrary. Anyways, if there is nothing to do, podcasts are quite entertaining and EDUCATIONAL
