I started to listen podcasts to improving my English listening and speaking abilities since last year.
There are two types of podcasts I listen to mainly; Podcasts hosted by native speakers with the topics I interested like business, startups, self-help...etc. Another one are the Podcasts which are made to be English learning tutorials produced by teachers.
there is a quote "Read what you love until you love to read." I followed it at the very beginning when I choose what podcasts to listen. So I picked up the podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show, How I Built This. Although I only could understand about 70% what the hosts said , but I still pretty enjoy them. After finishing few episodes, I stopped listening to that kinds of podcasts. Why? Because the hosts talked with normal speed, I had to be very focus on listening. That made my brain occupied so it was hard for me to do the "shadowing practice" at the same time.
I want to imrpove my English speaking, as a results I decided to try some English learning podcasts and saw if I could learned more. The result was really beyond my expectation when I could follow the hosts' clear pronunciation to speak. Now, the Podcast I spend most time listen to is called "Culips". The podcast itself is free for all, but they also offer a paid membership which gives the members detailed transcript and extra tutorals for speaking practice. I'm ready to pay for the exclusive stuffs.

Alt: a couple of episodes
Why?
BecauseAs the hosts talked with in normal speed, I had to be very focused on listening.

Learning English with Podcasts
I started to listen podcasts to improvinge my English listening and speaking abilities since last year.
You can say either...
- I started listening last year, or
- I've been listening since last year
but not both (it not "started" and "since" together).
There are two types of podcasts I listen to mainly; Ppodcasts hosted by native speakers with theon topics I'm interested in, like business, startups, self-help...etc.
Anthe other one are the Pis podcasts which are made to beas English learning tutorials produced by teachers.
You have stated that you listen to two types of podcast. You cannot then, for the second type, say "another one" because that implies there are others after that.
Also "the other one is podcasts..." seems strange (mixing singular and plural) but I think is correct because "the other one" (singular) refers back to "type" in the previous sentence, not to "podcasts" (plural).
tThere is a quote: "Read what you love until you love to read.".
I followed it at the very beginning when I chooseing what podcasts to listen.
I changed "choose" to "choosing" to avoid the clash of past and present tenses in your original sentence.
So I picked up the podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show, How I Built This.
Note that "picked" and "picked up" have quite different meanings.
Although I only could only understand about 70% of what the hosts said , but, I still pretty much enjoyed them.
Changed slightly, again to avoid mixing present tense and past tense in the same sentence.
After finishing a few episodes, I stopped listening to that kinds of podcasts.
Why?
Because the hosts talked withat normal speed, I had to be very focused on listening.
That madeoccupied my brain occupied soso much that it was hard for me to do the "shadowing practice" at the same time.
(I'm not quite clear what "shadowing practice" is - but I'm please to see you used British English spelling for it!)
I want to imrprove my English speaking, as a results. So I decided to try some English learning podcasts and sawto see if I could learned more.
The result was really beyond my expectation, when I found I could follow the hosts' clear pronunciation to speak.
This sentence would be better re-arranged, eg "To find I could follow the hosts' clear pronunciation was beyond my expectation."
Now, the Ppodcast I spend most time listen to is called "Culips".
You don't need to capitalise "podcast".
The podcast itself is free for all, but they also offer a paid membership which gives the members detailed transcript and extra tutorials for speaking practice.
Careful using "free for all", which has a different connotation to "free".
I'm ready to pay for the exclusive stuffs.
"stuff" is always singular; but anyway it's too colloquial a word to use here; "benefits" might be better.
Feedback
This was very clear. In a text such as this you should avoid using words and phrases that are very colloquial until you understand well how and where to use them.
