Podcast

I think that podcast from Apple co. is useful and efficient to learn English, especially listening. I choose several podcasts such as Bloomberg news, Wall Street Journal, Stuff you should know, Financial Times Economist and extra like about financial area in order to learn English and Update Financial news. Podcast that I focuse on are Bloomberg podcast, daily podcast, in which one man is talking about economic issue with a professional person, usually though phone and Stuff you should know in which two guys are talking about a topic which covers many fields and is getting a big issue in USA.
If I have to select just one podcast that I like, I will introduce you Stuff you should know. The most recent episode of Stuff You Should Know is about what can be done with a dead body. In the episode, you can check out that from transforming into a gem to being shot space, modern technology has created a multitude of possible destinations for the bodies of the deceased.
Several weeks ago, they used to be talking about financial crisis in the world when Lehman Brothers went to bankruptcy and that caused a big problem in the USA as well as in the world. When there was the election of the Unite State of America’s president, they were talking about who were Obama and Mckaine and how a result of the election would affect to the Unite State of America.
I am sure that this podcast is not boring even though that kind of podcasts are usually formal and too informative like news. There are jokes and private stuff of two guys such as their wives and Christmas plan. Therefore, I can strongly recommend this podcast for your English and knowledge if you have nothing special with your computer and want to learn English.
