Podcasts, in my opinion - it is the best backdrop for walking and working. Personally, I often work on different small tasks or get into the apartment, listening to a number of English-speaking and Russian podcasts. If you are tired choice between "Radio T", "Brendyatinoy" and a couple of music and the "apple" of Runet podcasts, it's time to pay attention to the English-language resources. Podcasts in English - a great way to not only improve their language skills, but also learn something really new, especially - if it is a free self-education. Earlier edition of "Layfhakera" published a list of 50 free online courses; and today we present you a list of 50 educational podcasts. Pay attention to them in 2013.
