If you have no difficulty in understanding what native English speakers say in daily life, there is a whole new world of brilliant podcast (播客) series to explore. If you aren’t sure where to start, have a look at these:
The Joe Rogan Experience ★★★★★
The Joe Rogan Experience is a great learning device because of its interesting English conversations between Rogan and his guests. At the time of writing there have been over 1,660 episodes (集) with subjects ranging from comedy and science to politics and sports. Rogan is also a famous stand-up comedian (喜剧演员), so the show is full of cultural references and idioms.
This American Life ★★★★★
This American Life is a great choice for English learners who want an insight (洞悉) into the culture of the USA. It is a mixture of journalism and storytelling, focusing on real-life tales from citizens of all regions of the country. The stories are new and varied. One episode was taped for 24 hours in an all-night restaurant; another is about interviewing workers on strike.
The Writer’s Voice ★★★★☆
The New Yorker is a famous American magazine, and every week it prints a new short story. In this podcast, the week’s story is read aloud by its writer. The published work covers a wide range of life experiences across the United States and beyond. It’s a great way to enjoy some of the best new fiction in the country.
Overheard at National Geographic ★★★★★
National Geographic is a much-loved American magazine (and TV channel) famous for incredible stories and photography related to science and the environment. Overheard is about the discussions Nat Geo employees have had while talking breaks. Expect crazy stories from explorers, photographers, and scientists from around the world.
