All Ears English Podcast

Lindsay McMahon and Michelle Kaplan have been putting out daily episodes since 2013, and with over 2,500 installments in the catalog, All Ears English is one of the most prolific English learning podcasts around. Lindsay broadcasts from New York City and Michelle from Boston, and the two bring a natural, upbeat dynamic to every conversation. The focus is squarely on intermediate to advanced learners who want to sound more natural in American English, covering idioms, phrasal verbs, small talk strategies, and the kind of casual vocabulary that textbooks tend to skip. What sets this show apart from many competitors is the breadth of practical topics. Episodes tackle everything from business English and job interview tips to dating vocabulary, IELTS and TOEFL prep, and how to navigate American cultural norms like tipping or making conversation at a party. Each episode runs about 15 to 20 minutes, which makes it easy to squeeze one in during a commute or lunch break. The hosts have real chemistry and genuinely seem to enjoy recording together, which keeps the tone light without sacrificing useful content. The podcast was featured in Apple Podcasts Best Of 2018 across Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, and Mexico, and it holds a 4.6 star rating with over 1,900 reviews. Lindsay and Michelle also offer paid courses and an app for deeper study, but the free podcast alone provides a massive library of listening practice. For learners who already have a solid foundation and want to close the gap between classroom English and how Americans actually talk, this is a reliable daily resource.
