PODCASTS

Podcasting is being able to listen to any sort of subject you want - and when you want.

There are hundreds of thousands of podcast channels out there, ranging in topics from gardening to aeronautics, movies to extispicy, soccer to Greek food, ancient history to anime...the list is almost endless.  The variety of content you can download to your mobile phone or tablet is staggering!  You can even listen to audio books from your favourite authors!

Every podcast channel adds news episodes on their specific topic every week/fortnight/month, and all you need to gain access to it is an Internet connection.  And best yet?  Most of them are free!  Kind of like Youtube, but without the video.

They are also a great way of enhancing your English listening skills.  Fire up your podcast app on your phone, check out the topics you're interested in, choose one, click play, and away you go.

Sometimes the hardest part of listening to podcasts is knowing which podcast channel to choose.  But just try one out - if you don't like the people speaking, or don't find them interesting, select another podcast channel.

You can listen to them while relaxing with your eyes closed.  You can listening to them while driving, running along the beach, or at the gym.  You can listen to them anywhere!

So what are you waiting for?  Get your podcast app up and running, find something of interest, and practice your listening - you might even have fun in the process :)
