To subscribe to a podcast you can use a podcatcher. This is a programme that downloads and automatically checks for podcast updates. There are many free podcatchers available to download on the internet such as iTunes, Doppler Radio, Juice or Nimiq. The next step is to add the podcast's information to your podcatcher. You can get this information from a website's chicklet.(See image on the right of this page). Right click and copy the link location, then paste it into your podcatcher, or click the chicklet and copy the link from the address bar into your podcatcher.

A podcast is very much like a radio show that you can download to your computer. Once you have downloaded it to your computer, you can play the podcast podcasts or transfer them to an mp3 player.
Most podcasts are free and available from many different websites. Unlike radio shows you can listen to podcasts whenever and wherever you like.
