I’m encouraging my advanced and proficiency students to choose podcasts from The Guardian and come to the class prepared to explain to the rest of the class what they listened to, the facts they understood, and their take on the topic. 

There are lots of great podcasts on the Guardian ranging from science and politics to current affairs and even book reviews and football news.
