Best podcasts to learn English C1.2

To get started and  ease your way into the world of English podcasts you can also try BBC 6 minute English B2/C1.1

Best British radio and podcasts and  Great ad-free US radio and podcasts  C2

Top-notch podcasts with tapescript

I recommend to listen to some podcasts intensively, focusing on the grammar and vocabulary as well as modelling your accent on the speakers´, but you should also listen to others in a more leisurely way as if you where listening to the radio. Playing a radio station in the background when doing something else can prove to be very useful too.
