<![CDATA[Podcasts have become a digital spoken-communication space full of implied meaning, so their utterances need to be examined pragmatically. This study aims to describe the types of illocutionary speech acts and conversational implicatures in the Suara Berkelas podcast episode “Kehilangan Jati Diri di Usia Muda” on Bilal Faranov’s YouTube channel. It employed a descriptive qualitative method with a pragmatic approach. The data source was one podcast episode of about 48 minutes, selected purposively, and the data were utterances produced by Bilal Faranov and Nago Tejena. Data were collected using the listening method with tapping, non-participatory listening, and note-taking techniques, then analyzed with the extralingual matching method and the determining-element sorting technique based on Searle’s and Grice’s theories. Data validity was checked by three experts. The findings show 62 utterances, consisting of 45 illocutionary speech acts and 17 conversational implicatures. The illocutionary acts comprise assertives (22 data), expressives (12 data), and directives (11 data), while commissives and declarations were not found. The implicatures consist of conventional (7 data) and nonconventional (10 data) types, the latter formed through violations of the maxims of quantity, relevance, and manner. In conclusion, the utterances mostly convey reflective views and experiences, give advice gently, and strengthen the interpersonal relationship between the host and the guest. These findings enrich pragmatic studies and can serve as material for teaching listening.]]>
