Once you find podcasts that interest you, listen or watch them by downloading to your Mp3 player such as an iPod, or through your computer. To use your computer, you will likely need to have some form of media player software. If you do not already have this, downloads are easy to find and are usually available for free on the web sites where the podcasts are located.
