Therefore, students argued that podcast media was an accessible, helpful, and suitable medium for teaching virtual listening for eleventh-grade students at Az-Zahrah Islamic Senior High School Palembang. However, students seemed to be unfocused during the online learning because slowly internet connection became an issue and monotonous learning. Therefore, the teacher would be interested in using podcast media to attract students' attention and interests.
