How do I get started?

1. Get podcast software
There are a lot of programs on the Web, but we recommend iTunes or Yahoo for both Mac and PC. Dowload the iTunes podcast receiver and follow the installation instructions.

2. Subscribe to podcasts
For THS feeds, simply click on the subscribe button - or copy the url for the subscription and paste it into your podcast software. Once you are subscribed to a podcast, your podcast playlist is updated automatically whenever the directory is updated.

3. Get iPod (optional)
You can listen to any podcast straight from your computer, but if you have an iPod (or most any other USB music player) you can easily take updated shows with you even when you're not online. Just plug in your iPod, and set your iTunes 'Preferences' to automatically check for new shows as often as you like.
