I know I'm behind the times. I don't have an ipod/mp3 player or any of that. I often spend a good amount of my day in the car and was thinking it might be nice to grab some podcasts and listen to them.
So what do i need to download them? does it have to be an ipod? Or can a simple mp3 player do the job? |

Podcasts are simply recorded audio, so you'll need an MP3 player. Doesn't matter which one. Where you get your podcasts is dependent on what you listen to, so I'm sure you already have your sources. A good choice really is an iPod, which works seamlessly with iTunes (Windows or Mac) to help you find podcasts you may be interested in.

| Thanks! Actually I don't have any specific podcasts in mind, I'm just tired of the current radio options I have... |

I have a Sandisk Sansa View mp3 player. I download podcasts and audiobooks from various sites, mostly free ones! Podiobooks have a good range of original works, a classic author is Scott Sigler who puts a lot into his works. There are quite a few sites where you can download older books free. Also check ebay for audiobooks on CD, cheap and easy way of getting books. I try to get the unabridged ones as they are the complete work.
I just drag and drop the mp3s from the computer onto the Sansa, works well and is pretty simple to do. Hope that gives you something to think about:) |

You can simply download iTunes which is free, then download the podcasts and watch them on your PC.

If your car does not have an audio jack to input the audio to, you will need some way of getting it in. I use an inexpensive FM modulator to broadcast it over the radio. Stay away from the models that only give you a handful of frequencies you can use. It can be difficult to find a channel without interference. Get one that adjusts to any frequency the same increments . This makes it easier to find a clear station. In my area I find 99.9 works well with only rare interference.
I currently use a Sandisk Clip. I used to have a Creative Zen Stone, but it has been playing the music on hold where I work for a couple of years now.
