From serialized fiction to uncensored comedy to long-form news reporting, podcasts are becoming an increasingly popular resource for entertainment and information. You can listen to podcasts using your computer or a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. Keep reading to understand how to listen to podcasts.\r\nHow to listen to podcasts on a Windows PC\r\nMicrosoft Windows does not come with a native podcast app, so you need to download one to your PC. Popular podcast apps include Grover Pro, AudioCloud, and iTunes. The following instructions are for iTunes for Windows:\r\n\r\n \tAfter launching iTunes from the Start menu, in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window, choose Podcasts from the drop-down menu.\r\n \tAt the top-center of the iTunes Podcasts window, you have these display options: Library, Unplayed, and Store. For now, click on Store.\r\nThe Podcasts Store is a repository of just about every available podcast. But don't be put off by the name.

You can also burn an audio podcast episode to an audio CD or MP3 CD.\nSubscribing means listing the podcast in the Podcasts section of your iTunes library so that new episodes download automatically. It’s like a magazine subscription that’s updated with a new issue every month or so. Your copy of iTunes automatically finds new podcast episodes and downloads them to your computer.\nA podcast episode can be anything from a single song to a commentary-hosted radio show; a podcaster, like a broadcaster, provides a stream of episodes over time. Thousands of professional and amateur radio and video shows are offered as podcast episodes. Video podcasts are also called videocasts or vodcasts.\nThe iTunes Podcast page in the iTunes Store lets you browse, find, preview, and subscribe to podcasts, most of which are free. To find podcasts in the iTunes Store, do one of the following:\n\n Click the Podcasts tab at the top of the iTunes Store page. The iTunes Store displays the Podcast page, with advertisements for popular podcasts. You can click the down-arrow button next to the Podcasts tab to choose specific categories.\nYou can also get to the Podcast page by clicking Podcasts in the iTunes source list, clicking the List tab to see your podcasts, and then clicking Podcast Catalog at the bottom of the list.\n \n Browse all podcasts in a particular category. Use the column browser and select Podcasts in the iTunes Store column. Select options from the Category column and Subcategory column.\n\n \n Search for a podcast by name or keyword. You can type a search term into the Search Store field in the upper-right corner of the iTunes window to find any podcasts or other content items that match.\n \n\nYou can also find podcasts outside of the iTunes Store on the Internet.\nAfter you select a podcast, the iTunes Store displays the podcast’s specific page in the iTunes Store, showing all available podcast episodes. To select, play, and subscribe to a podcast, follow these steps:\n\n Choose a podcast in the iTunes Store.\nThe iTunes Store offers a description and a Subscribe button to receive new podcasts. The page also lists the most recent podcast episodes.
