Podcasts, in my opinion, are the best backdrop for walking and working. I personally often work on various small tasks or clean the apartment listening to a number of English and Russian podcasts. If you are tired of choosing between Radio-T, Brandyatina and a couple of music and apple podcasts from Runet, it's time to pay attention to the English-language resources. Podcasts in English are a great way not only to improve your language skills, but also to learn something really new, especially when it comes to free self-education. Previously, Lifehacker published a list of 50 free online courses; and today we present to you a list of 50 educational podcasts … Pay attention to them in 2013.
