I love listening podcasts and do it regularly. During the last half of year I’ve formed a list of podcasts which I physically have time to listen to and which are interesting for me. I prefer a professional podcasts and here I mean the quality of sound, the diction of a presenter and a quality of the material. I usually listen them on commuting to work and on the way back. As a rule it takes about a 20-30 minutes thus the preferable length of each podcast is up to 30 minutes. Also I don’t like very short podcasts less than 10 minutes because it takes more time to download them and copy to my mp3-player than listen. Probably not much more, but definitely comparable time. As for my favorite themes, here the short list of them: IT, travels, life in different countries, technologies and educational podcasts for those who study English language.
Here the list of my favorite programs:
on learning English
on personal development
- podcasts and show notes from Steve Pavlina - guru of personal development
podcasts for people interested in java-related technologies
latest news of the world of digital-technology
on different themes
- Crossing Continents
- Excess Baggage
- Pods and Blogs
- Great Lives
- ABC Radio National Australia
- The Adventures of Mr Stephen Fry
russian podcasts
I’m still looking for more interesting podcasts and will add what I’ll find to these list.
Of course, it the perfect theme for me but it’s strange that I always get the tasks related to this country.
