Podcasts: How To Search and Subscribe

There are lots of great resources out on the web to help with subscribing to podcasts using various clients, on both desktop computers and mobile devices.

Desktop Computers

The most common podcast manager on desktop computers is also the most common mp3 player and store, iTunes.

Mobile Devices

It’s becoming more and more common for podcast management to not need to involve a desktop computer at all. You can subscribe, refresh, and cache podcasts using several apps on many platforms.

iPhone and iPad

Instacast – My iOS podcast app of choice. Simple, powerful, and fun to use.

• Other support/FAQ’s

Downcast – Another great iOS option.

• App Support

Podcasts – Apple’s official Podcast app; well designed, but in annoying, non-helpful ways. I would not recommend it, but know that many people use it.
