IELTS Energy English 7+

If you're preparing for the IELTS exam and want a podcast that goes beyond generic test tips, IELTS Energy English is built specifically for that purpose. Hosted by Lindsay McMahon, Jessica Beck, and Aubrey Carter, the show has amassed over 1,400 episodes and attracts more than 200,000 regular listeners. Jessica Beck alone has been teaching IELTS for over 14 years, and that depth of experience shows in the specificity of the advice. The podcast covers all four sections of the IELTS exam -- speaking, writing, listening, and reading -- with episodes dedicated to particular question types, scoring criteria, and common mistakes that cost test-takers points. A lot of the content focuses on the Speaking section, where the hosts walk through strategies for reducing anxiety and structuring answers that demonstrate the range of language the examiners want to hear. Five new episodes drop each week, which means there's always fresh content to study with. The hosts use real English examples throughout, so you're improving your general fluency at the same time you're learning test strategy. The conversations between Lindsay, Jessica, and Aubrey have a casual, upbeat tone that keeps the material from feeling like a grind. One thing to note: the hosts do promote their paid IELTS courses during episodes, and some listeners find the promotional segments take up more time than they'd like. But the free content is still packed with actionable strategies. For anyone targeting a Band 7 or higher, this podcast provides the kind of focused, exam-specific preparation that general English shows simply can't match.
