I have a Philips MP3 player that synchronises with Windows Media Player. Can I get podcasts, and if so, how? John Matthew Thompson
A podcast is just an MP3 file (usually), so you could download one manually. However, the process can be simplified by subscribing to podcasts and using a "podcatcher" such as Doppler or iPodder. Jake Ludington explains how to do it here.
Podcast Alley offers lots of podcasts, help files and links to programs for different computers.
