What this means is anyone with an internet connection can listen to what they want whenever they want, by logging into iTunes store or 'googleing' Podcasts. Millions of gigabytes of ideas can be played online or downloaded into your MP3 player, cellphone or iPod, for free.
It's like listening to a radio station except you don't have to tune in at an specific time or listen to things in which you're not interested. Users create their own podcasts and share their thoughts with the world, which are stored online, just waiting for your spare moment or two.
Since there are so many categories in the Podcasting world, as you can imagine there are tons of English learning possibilities. Some of them are worth the time, especially ones designed for non-native speakers. So search, listen, enjoy, and improve your skills!
I recommend that you check out 'English Addicts' or some other English learning series.
Then, if you think you are ready to listen to other things ... Go for it! Topics range. Biology, Technology, Literature, History, Arts... Anything of interest is available. The ultimate goal when we learn a language is to fully comprehend it, and to be to able to communicate who we are, what we like, what we know...
I think that this is an amazing global tool. So much is out there, just try!
