This quantitative research method used one group of pre-test and post-test samples (34 students) in eleventh-grade SMA Kesatrian 1 Semarang. To test the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of podcasts, researchers used the t-test. As secondary data, there was an open questionnaire regarding supporting and inhibiting factors in listening learning. The results showed that ESL podcasts were effective in improving listening comprehension. This was obtained from the pre-test (M = 42.3529) and post-test (M = 75.0000) with Sig. (2-tailed) ,000 <0.05 based on the t-test decision-making shows significance if < 0.05.Moreover, the results of the questionnaire, 27 students felt that their listening comprehension had improved, and seven students felt an increase in listening comprehension.
