Finding a free podcast to download is very easy.

The first thing you can do is to search a podcast directory online.

You can find this by searching google or other search engines.

A podcast directory is a website that has a compressive list of podcasts in different categories or topics. The directory is normally organised by topic and genre, in addition to a search box which will allows you to search for your favourite podcasts.

In most cases you can contribute to the directory by add your own comments about podcasts to help other users to choose what they want to download. The comments and other user friendly functions such as rating podcasts and adding podcasts to favourites will help other users to find what they want very quickly. So reading other people’s comments on a particular podcast can help you to choose wisely. In most cases you can download the podcast you want for free. Sometimes you may have to pay. In other to download your podcast for free or for a fee, you will normally need to register as a subscriber. In other to download your podcast successfully, you will need to download and install a podcast client on your computer.

Again this can be downloaded for free. There are different types of podcasts clients with different interfaces or slightly different functions that do the same job. Once you have installed you podcast client, you can then input the feed address which will enable the podcast download to take place.

The podcast client will verify the address given for a small, machine readable file called an RSS file. This file will hold information about the podcasts, possibly some text about the individual episodes, and also where the file can be found. Once the podcast client locates the file, it will be downloaded and stored on the user’s computer ready for viewing or other use.
