How to Listen to Podcasts using iPodder
Podcasting creates the ability to listen to internet audio broadcasts on a iPod, MP3 player or computer at any time of your choosing. It is sort of like Tivo for radio. Follow these steps to join the podcasting revolution.

Steps
Download the software you need to start set up podcasting on your computer. A popular cross operating system podcast receiver is iPodder, which is a free open source program. You can download it at Sourceforge.
Complete the installation process by clicking "next" in several windows to agree to the default settings.
Launch iPodder and press the Subscriptions tab. You will notice that you are already subscribed to 2 default "feeds". Feeds are the subscription requests which will pull in the audio files that you want to listen to.
Add the feeds / radio shows that you want to listen to. One easy way to choose feeds is to press the Podcast Directory tab and choose from the extensive menu of popular and new podcast feeds. Once you have opened a file, double click on the feed that you want.
Press the green icon with two arrows in the upper left of iPodder Check for new podcasts (in the 'subscriptions' tab) and it will immediately download the podcasts you just requested. Now sync your iPod or MP3 device and confirm that your subscription is ready to play.
You can also listen directly from your computer by selecting an item in the "downloads" tab, then right-click, and select "play episode in mediaplayer". This is good to know if you are subscribing to video podcasts, which cannot be accessed through an MP3 player.
