The
skills of understanding English spoken at
normal speed
can be acquired
only through practice in listening to English spoken at
normal speed.

Remember that your listening skills will grow over time.
Practise daily, even if it's only for 20 minutes.
You may not understand everything the first time you listen to something
but over time you'll get used to the normal speed of speach used by many people.
Speaking on the other hand require a similar approach as writing
but with the added ability to "
think on your feet". 
A mix of
reading and listening (or watching) is the best way to practice your skills of understanding English.
But you shouldn't forget to practise the active use of English (
writing and speaking).
It is also important to keep track of what you want to achive and what you are doing to get there.
i.e. you want to improve your listenig skills to understand English spoken at normal speed
Although you might feel that subtitles help you to understand what is being said in a video but I'm not a supporter of this method
because you are not really forced to
concentrate your attention on listening carefully when you can just read the subtitles
you need to keep in mind that the visual information is already a big advantage compared to an exam situation.
Therefore I'd say that podcasts are the best training to prepare yourself for a challenging listening test.
But you should be aware that most people you come across in real life or on the phone
don't speak as clearly or slowly as the podcast / news presenter or a person presenting a talk in front of a crowd.
A mix of videos and films can give you a more realistic impression of English spoken at
normal speed.
Listening to podcasts and watching videos or fims supports the conventional key strategies (memorising new vocabulary and grammar rules)
but it cannot replace them.
