• Theology in the Raw hosted by Preston Sprinkle. Recommended by Andy Gilbert. “This podcast tackles hot topics in Christian culture and discusses them in a very honest and transparent way. I think a good podcast can - almost like a good book - stretch you in ways that sometimes make you feel uncomfortable. Whether I agree or disagree with what's being said, I always walk away more informed and better prepared to discuss this topic with people, whether they are believers or unbelievers.”

Yes, podcasts can help you with language learning. Some podcasts are designed for language learners and use simple vocabulary. Some actually will speak slowly! Most podcast players will also allow you to slow down the podcast play speed, and repeat sections easily, so that also helps you catch things you missed at normal conversation speed. Podcasts can expand your comprehension of topics and vocabulary in areas which your friends and language helpers might not use.
