A podcast is an episodic series of spoken word digital audio files that a user can stream or download to a personal device for easy listening. (Wikipedia)

A variety of podcasts can be found, you can choose which podcast is suitable to improve your student's listening skills. But, how if you want to make it by yourself? Yes, you can. You can come up with a concept first, prepare the script, and then record and edit your audio files. You are allowed to use editing software, like Audacity. With this software, you can record your podcast, add audio, songs, cut the audio, add effect, and many more.

 

After editing the audio, you can find a place to host your files, like SoundCloud, Spotify, Buzzsprout, PodBean, and so on.
