You will need "podcatching" software (similar to an RSS news aggregator) to be able get automatic updates of your favorite podcasts. Podcatching software can also synchronize podcasts with your portable digital audio player so that you can hear podcasts while you're on the go. But you don't need an iPod or other player to listen to podcasts. You can still use podcatching software to subscribe to the podcasts you want and listen to them on your computer. Or simply choose to listen to the stand-alone MP3 file.
