What to listen to in the car to improve your English?

What to listen to in the car, on the way to / from work while standing in a traffic jam to improve your English?
Will this be useful at all, because driving is the main focus on the road?

I highly recommend finding / buying an audio course on the Pimsleur language learning system .

Songs in English that you like.
With a prerequisite - sing along!

I recommend the Power English course by AJ Hoge.
Listened in the car on the way to work, an hour a day.
In six months I raised my level from intermediate to fluent. I watch movies and courses without subtitles. I can easily understand interlocutors and speak easily.
The course is based on the approach "the key to the language is not the eyes, the key to the language is the ears".
The Pimsleur course is based on the same approach. But Pimsleur is boring. AJ Hoge is much more fun and doesn't get boring.
You can get it here (or on the tracker):

There are even older courses by this author - Effortless English. There you can start from the beginner level and below.

on radio 105.2 (in Moscow) they speak English
Well, in general, download podcasts on topics that are really interesting to you, then you will not force yourself listening to them, but you will simply and with interest develop your vocabulary :)

The best option is the original soundtrack of a foreign film, the plot of which you know well.

I advise Oxford Bookworms
Books are divided into difficulty levels (1-6), there are plenty to choose from. Read by professional speakers.

It was in the car (evening traffic jams) that I improved my English. I started with BBC educational podcasts, then switched to specialized, technical ones - like Digital Planet www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/digitalp In general, BBC podcasts are good with excellent announcers and acceptable speed. Then maybe something American.
And I don’t drive a car anymore - and I listen to podcasts in English with pleasure.

My supervisor recommended that I download IELTS listening materials (she herself listened in the car while preparing for the exam).

It will be in traffic jams. Listen to audio books in English.

Podcasts are pretty effective, yes. At the same time, do not hesitate to play the same podcast several times to drive into everything they say (after all, this, after all, is your goal). I found some really good ones from Canadians: www.cbc.ca/radio/podcasts , especially this one: www.cbc.ca/radio/podcasts/science-and-tech/quirks-...

Into the podcast box:
How Stuff Works has its own podcast: Stuff You Should Know . The hosts are funny and cover interesting topics. And, unlike many entertainment podcasts, they speak competently, without slang and mangling, so you can focus on their speech.
But here the level, however, is not needed initial.
