Good Podcasts and Podcatchers?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the take-your-internet-audio-with-you dept.

Chimera512 asks: "I've heard quite a bit about podcasts and software for aggregating podcasts, most of the software I've tried to use have been mediocre at best. where do you find podcasts that are worth listening to? What do you use to aggregate them? Ideally something that allows me to simply copy the stream URL into the program and have it download and/or transfer the file to my MP3 player."

    but Zoe's Radio has got to be one of the better ones, she RJs very well for someone so young:
    Podcast feed: http://webjay.org/by/iancr/zoe5c27sradioshow.xml

    Then let's not forget the (supershort but funny) Onion Radio News.

    When BSG's on air, Ron Moore's podcasts are also good listening.

    Apple iTunes & iPods are the dominant software & hardware audio players, but not everone has an iPod or wants to use Apple iTunes. If you do not use Apple iTunes, then you might like to check out Juice Receiver [1]. Juice uses RSS feeds to download podcasts to your computer. Juice is platform-independent, so you can use it from virtually any computer and play the files on any MP3 device. If you need assistance with it, then see the Juice FAQ [2] and the Juice User Guide (PDF) [3].
