Recently I have developed a utility to crawl for MP3 files.
Among one of its good uses is to find "English podcasts" for learning English.
These podcasts are good educational resources to listen to English as spoken by native speakers.
The following list shows a sample of the sites found. The "with scripts" means that the spoken English is accompanied by
a document, which makes it a great way to see the spelling of spoken words.
