You download iTunes (download link further down), is is a nice piece of free software, that according to Apple is "Entertainment Center of Your World". From itunes you sync it into your Ipod.




If you don't have an iPod you can still download files on your PC or MAC and are abel to listen to your downloads - you can even watch videos.




A useful feature is the subscription function, it easy to subscribe to podcasts.

As an exampel from National Geographic's website you can subscribe to their Wild Chronicles serie. The episodes are from 4-10 minutes. Yes you can watch National Geographic on your TV but this will give the opportunity to watch only what you are interested in and you are not tempted to zap though the other TV channels.
