How to get a podcast.

1. Download software that allows you to subscribe to the podcast you want.
Podcast software searches the web to find the latest update of the show you want, for example, the latest programme in a radio series.

You will have to download and install this software to be able to subscribe to podcasts, and download the latest shows.

There are a number of applications that allow you to access podcasts, for a list of of them from www.podcastingnews.com .

2. Input the podcast "feed" to your podcast software.
Once you have downloaded the software you will have to subscribe to the podcasts that you are interested in.

First you will need to find the address of the feed, this will normally be located on the podcast's website. There will be a "Subscribe to Podcast" option somewhere in the application you have installed. Enter the address of the feed in here and then the software will automatically access the podcast and download the latest edition.
