25 BBC Podcasts for Highlevel English learners

The BBC has a fantastic collection of podcasts.

● Some of them are produced for an international audience so you can hear

interviews with nonnative speakers of English. These are usually found on

the BBC World Service channel.

● Other podcasts are produced for a UK audience. These are ideal for those

of you living in the UK or who want to live in the UK. Listening to British

English speakers will make understanding English which is spoken in the

UK easier. These are produced by BBC Radio 4 or Radio 5.

Here is a list of podcasts which may be useful for higherlevel English learners.
