### In the lessons

In everyday life children listen to podcasts about stories, science, history or sport; in school they may make their own podcast as a speaking project. In media lessons pupils learn that podcasts can share opinions, so they should check facts. Phrases: «listen to a podcast», «a new episode of the podcast», «start a podcast», «host a podcast».
