<![CDATA[The biographical text comprehension skills of 10th-grade E students at Rasau Jaya State High School 1 are still relatively low because instruction tends to rely on conventional methods with monotonous text presentation. This classroom action research aims to describe the implementation of podcast-based audiovisual media and to analyze the improvement in students’ biographical text listening skills. Employing the Kemmis and McTaggart model conducted in two cycles, the research subjects consisted of 35 students. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and document reviews, then analyzed using descriptive-comparative and critical analysis techniques. The results showed that the use of podcast-based audiovisual media powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology was effective in improving students’ listening skills. The average score increased from 66.71 in the pre-cycle to 74.71 in Cycle I and 82.14 in Cycle II. Classical mastery criteria also increased from 43% to 71% and reached 86%, thereby exceeding the study’s success indicator of 80%. Thus, podcast-based audiovisual media is effective in improving the biographical text listening skills of students.
