The purpose of this study is to determine students' perceptions of the use of podcasts in listening learning. This type of research is a case study with qualitative research methods. The data from this study were collected from questionnaires and interviews. The subjects of this study were students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Cibinong. The results of this study found that: students enjoy the use of podcasts in listening classes, because podcasts are easy to use, students agree that podcasts can help them learn to listen and they have a willingness to use podcasts as an alternative way to learn to listen, and podcasts also motivate them because they interest them. The content of the podcasts and the pronunciation of the podcasts can hone their skills, especially listening skills. In addition, most students also agree that podcasts are easy to obtain because there are many podcasting websites available on the internet. The problem faced by students in using podcasts is the accent of the speaker which is sometimes difficult to understand. This makes it difficult for students to understand the material in the podcast.
