How often do you listen to podcasts? (1st part)
do you listen to it at all? (B1)
Здравствуй.
Сегодня я пишу одно из тех писем, которые посвящены1 подкастам.
Как часто ты что-то делаешь по дому и включаешь музыку? Или предпочитаешь2 смотреть интервью? Вот мне по душе3 слушать разговоры.
Сегодня хочу поделиться двумя из очень многих. Они вполне4 сложные, но многое, если будешь внимательно слушать, сможешь понять. Главное, попробуй прослушать5 до конца. I hope you will take to listening to it regularly. Just stay patient.
Радио Аня — The hosts are three ladies of different ages carrying the same name — Anya. They talk about adulthood and how the society crunches us in the grinder. How deep we should dive into our inner self to find a new adult, learn the value and find the values in our friends how to развеять стереотипы6 and be able to laugh at it. I personally like the episode with Seraphim where he contemplates over loss and what can become точкой опоры7. The talk about the most serious features in our life: about love and time which love requires, responsibility and a beauty of its acceptance, about belief through doubts and hesitation. I’d give it B2 level.
Сперва роди — a Google podcast hosted by three fathers discussing parenthood, fatherhood precisely. They talk about first tooth, pregnancy of their wives and read the letters from their listeners, — the podcast has been establised over 4 years ago! They discuss an upbringing process with no advises “how to” but shares their anxiety and funny stories. If you want to learn the Russian anecdotes, I believe this podcast should be considered.
That is all for now. I just ask you to keep courage and listen to two or three episodes before you jump into conclusion. It is a never effortless process for enhancing listening skills; creation a habit takes time.
And I believe in you.

It’s just one cup of good herbal tea.
