Working with authentic materials is important for developing students' listening skills – but it's challenging for busy teachers to find, prepare, and arrange copyright clearance to bring such materials for the classroom.

To solve this problem, American Voices provides a curated selection of professionally produced, fully licensed podcasts and audio journalism, complete with everything teachers need for the classroom: background information, word lists, transcripts, discussion questions, quizzes, and links for further exploration. The stories are not edited or abridged, and are appropriate for intermediate to advanced learners.

American Voices is available online and is compatible with PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and any device with a modern web browser. All materials are available by individual story or through all-access subscriptions; institutions are invited to inquire about group licenses.
