Podcasts are a pretty new phenomenon, for those who don't know yet, basically a podcast is a radio show in MP3 format, sent through a RSS feed. These feeds are pre-downloaded to your system, so that they are ready for playback when ever you want to listen to them. You need special software to download a podcast. If you have I-tunes on your system you can use that to download the feed (add the podcast feed on the advanced menu), else you need a little program like Juice. Juice is open source software, it is free available at this location: juicereceiver.sourceforge.net. Its use is very simple, on the subscriptions tab press the green +, a dialog will pop up where you can add the address of the feed, next select the feed and press the green double arrow, after a bit your feed will be ready for playback on the downloads tab. I have reasons to limit the feed to three episodes, when i add a new episode I will remove an old one.
