🇵🇱 Best Polish podcasts for advanced learners

Every episode is labelled with its CEFR level and streams free from the site, including a run of episodes on preparing for the state certification exam at B1. The explicit level tagging makes it unusually easy to find material that fits you, and the archive is large enough to last months. It stopped producing new episodes around 2023, so treat it as a finished library rather than a live show.

Paulina Lipiec, trained in teaching Polish as a second language, started the podcast in 2016 out of frustration at how dull the available listening material was; two hundred-plus episodes later it covers language, culture and life in Poland with worksheets and transcripts. Her explanations of things Poles do and say make it as much cultural onboarding as language practice. The podcast and YouTube clips are free; worksheets, courses and the members' club are paid.

One of the oldest and largest comprehensible-input projects for Polish: episodes told entirely in Polish at a considerate but natural pace, built around stories and observations rather than grammar drills, with a huge free archive on the podcast feed and YouTube. If you want volume of Polish input organised by an actual teacher, nothing else comes close. The structured courses, transcripts and guided paths sit behind a monthly VIP subscription, and the site's marketing is heavy.

Agnieszka Podemska speaks only Polish across some 87 episodes, and — crucially — publishes transcripts, which turns passive listening into something you can actually study line by line. Transcripts are rare for Polish learner podcasts and are the main reason to pick this one. New episodes have slowed to a trickle since early 2026, and the transcripts sit behind a paid tier while the audio stays free.
