Thing 19

The first Podcast that I listened to was off the English Idioms and Slang site :

I thought it was interesting and good, especially for English learners to be able to HEAR not just read the lesson.  This would be great for an ESL class and to allow students to engage in listening skills, outside of the classroom.

The second Podcast that I listened to was from the Learn Out Loud.com website: http://www.learnoutloud.com/Podcast-Directory/Travel/Europe/Notes-from-Spain-Podcast/6922#plink

It was pretty interesting to hear this man, Ben Curtis, tell you about some of the site from his travels around Spain - could be cool to use in the classroom.  

I must say, however, that my students and myself - would much more be inclined to SEE the sites, not just listen to them.  I'll have to search for more v-casts in my next "thing"!
