There are three steps involved in setting up your computer to get podcasts.
1. Get Podcast software
You need to install a piece of software that will search the web to find podcasts and automatically deliver them to your computer. This software is usually free, and these three are popular with most users ( iTunes, Juice, Doppler ).
2. Subscribe to podcasts
Once you have the software installed you need to subscribe to a podcast. How you do this will depend on which software you have chosen. If you have iTunes, for example, you can subscribe to podcasts through the iTunes Podcast Directory.
3. Listen to the audio
When a new episode becomes available, your software will automatically download it. You can then listen to this episode on your computer or transfer it to your portable player to listen to later. You may want to check the settings of your podcast software for details including how often it will check for new episodes, whether it will keep old episodes for you . This will vary depending on the software you have chosen, and your personal preferences.
