Abstract
This research investigates podcast consumption behavior and preferences among first-year students enrolled in the SU202: English for International Communication course at Silpakorn University, Phetchaburi Information Technology Campus. Utilizing a survey research design, data were collected from a purposive sample of 38 students via online questionnaires. The findings reveal that students primarily engage with podcasts for educational purposes, preferring concise episodes aligned with the course curriculum. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on learning modalities, podcasts have emerged as a popular, flexible and accessible alternative. Analysis of podcast format elements indicates that students value the charisma and delivery of podcast hosts and the ease of accessing archived episodes. These findings provide insights for educators and podcast producers aiming to enhance learning experiences through podcasts, particularly in remote and hybrid learning environments.
