linefeed0, this is my major bug bear with iTunes. I installed it as I was curious to see how they presented their podcasts (in particular the Free Talk Live one which I listen to). As I access a couple of PCs it annoys the hell out of me that I have to have their software installed to check out what's going on.
It's also annoying that for something that I can look up straight away through my browser (such as Podcast Alley, which I use) that to do the same thing on iTunes I have to fire up their software.
I forgot to mention in a previous post that one aspect of Free Talk Live that fellow/.ers may find interesting is their bulletin board (http://bbs.freetalklive.com./ There are several sections on Issues and Promoting Liberty that contain a large number of well reasoned posts (and some wildly emotional ones too:) )
Would have to agree with you on Podcast Alley having a great selection. I wasn't as wrapped in the iTunes directory and while it's only a feeling, it seemed to me that there was just a bit too much glitz.
I've listened to a number of podcasts and one of the few that I've actually kept listening to is Free Talk Live (http://freetalklive.com./ It may seem odd for an Aussie to listen to a US talk show, a couple of listens will probably convince you why.
These guys will talk about anything to anyone around the world (and they regularly do this). Their main focus is Freedom and Liberty and their message of how we can obtain this is pertinent to any location.
The two blokes who always host it are so passionate about their message that it gets me in every time.
If you like talk radio, or are even curious then I reckon it's worth your time to give them a go.
For my podcatcher I use iPodder. This has been reliable and consistent and while it may not be the flashiest one around it does the job consistently.
