The Globe and Mail The Decibel
The Globe and Mail The Decibel presents a daily Canadian news podcast from the newsroom of The Globe and Mail, published Monday to Friday and hosted by a journalist who questions reporters and outside experts. Each episode of about twenty minutes takes one story shaping Canada, in politics, trade, business, health or city life, and works through its background.
100% Free (unlimited): Every episode plays in full at no cost on the podcast page, with no account and no subscription, and a written summary of the conversation sits beside the player. The same episodes are carried on the usual podcast applications for listeners who follow the show there.
How It Helps Your Business English
Each episode takes a single Canadian story and examines it with the reporter who covered it or with a specialist on the subject: federal politics, trade, taxation, housing, health care and business news. Episodes run about twenty minutes, play on the page and carry a written summary. The archive lists the past episodes by date.
You listen to one episode a day and hear two professionals discuss a single subject in careful, formal English. Read the written summary first for the names and the subject, then play the episode and follow the argument. The host restates and questions each point, so you hear the same idea phrased in more than one way, which is useful before meetings and briefings.
