The authors notice podcast as a genre based on the essential communication model. This scheme of coding and decoding they modify according to the specific elements the podcast uses. In communication transfer of information from the sender to the recipient, the study focuses on improving the podcaster's language expression and working with the voice. It also offers practical instructions and exercises, such as communication and rhetorical skills, that need improvement. In this context, for example, language warm-ups or vocabulary expansion are essential. The podcast contains a wide range of journalistic genres that offer variable support for developing the above-mentioned key competencies.
