How do I download a podcast from Podcast.com to my computer, my iPod or other portable device?
[NOTE: As a member of Podcast.com, you can also add your Podcast.com playlist to iTunes (and even to your iPod). You only have to add your playlist to iTunes once — then every podcast you add to your playlist will go to your iTunes!]
To download a podcast episode to your computer, you can just right-click the 
link next to each podcast episode and “Save As” to download it where you want on your computer. Then, depending on how you set up your portable media device, you can move the podcast file to the folder your device is linked to when it syncs with your computer and - voila! - the podcast will appear on your device.
If you have an iPod you can do the following (before you start, you need to have iTunes installed on your computer):
- Go to any podcast page on Podcast.com, such as this one from Slate (also pictured to the right).
- Click the
button, then click 
. - iTunes will open if it is not already, and the podcast will be added to your podcast subscription list (click the Settings button at the bottom of the page to adjust how many podcast episodes are automatically downloaded).
- Connect your iPod to your computer; an iPod summary will pop up automatically in your iTunes window.
- Under the Podcasts tab, adjust the number of podcasts you want to sync as well as the number of episodes from each podcast.
- Click the Sync button at the lower right (if it doesn’t sync automatically).
- Disconnect your iPod when it’s finished syncing. Your podcasts will be available under the Podcasts section on your iPod’s menu.
You can get your Podcast.com playlist on your iPod by reading these instructions.
