And you probably<br \/>\nknow you can copy them to your MP3 player or smart phone.<\/p>\n<p>Finding podcasts isn&#8217;t difficult. You can rummage around<br \/>\ndedicated podcasting sites:<\/p>\n<p>Podcast Alley<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.podcastalley.com\/] and iPodder<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.ipodder.org\/] are two good ones.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nmentioned Juice [http:\/\/juicereceiver.sourceforge.net\/], a<br \/>\ntool to find and download podcasts. Some people swear by<br \/>\niTunes [http:\/\/www.apple.com\/itunes\/download\/]. (Here&#8217;s a<br \/>\nquick tutorial<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.scienceaudio.net\/info\/how_to_download_software.h<br \/>\ntml] to show you how to install and use Juice and iTunes.)<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not happy with my recommendations (some of you<br \/>\nare so picky&#8230;), check the PodcatcherMatrix<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.podcatchermatrix.org\/] for a comparison of<br \/>\ndozens of podcatching tools.<\/p>\n<p>Just as much fun is discovering little-known podcasts<br \/>\nabout your hobby or guilty pleasure. I use short search<br \/>\nterms on Google, such as podcast magicians, podcast<br \/>\n&#8220;growing tomatoes,&#8221; or podcast &#8220;ocean fishing.&#8221; (I use<br \/>\nquotes around two or more words to tighten the search.)=20<\/p>\n<p>Now onto a couple things for smart-phone users.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast Heaven with Stitcher and DoubleTwist<br \/>\nLast week I slammed Livio Radio&#8217;s Carmen, a gizmo to<br \/>\ndownload music and podcasts and play it on your car&#8217;s<br \/>\nradio.<\/p>\n<p>My buddy Karl Kasca (from IncreaseOnlineProfits<br \/>\n[http:\/\/increaseonlineprofits.com\/].com) told me about<br \/>\nStitcher [http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/home.php], a terrific,<br \/>\nand in my opinion, much better alternative. (There are two<br \/>\ndrawbacks &#8212; aren&#8217;t there always? &#8212; which I&#8217;ll get to in<br \/>\na minute.)<\/p>\n<p>Stitcher is an on-demand service that streams podcasts,<br \/>\nradio shows, or news, to your smart phone.<\/p>\n<p>Stitcher seems to have a million or two podcasts,<br \/>\nincluding lots of NPR shows, WSJ and CNN news, tons of<br \/>\nsports shows and tech news, New Yorker magazine news (who<br \/>\nknew?), and the neat-sounding, but utterly boring, Brewing<br \/>\nNetwork.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to podcasts on your PC, but the neat part<br \/>\nis sending them to your smart phone. Start by downloading<br \/>\nthe Stitcher app for your phone; it works with the iPhone,<br \/>\nBlackBerry, Android, or Palm. (The last time I looked at<br \/>\nthe stats, almost everyone in the world has a smart phone,<br \/>\nexcept maybe me and my wife; our TracFones are definitely<br \/>\nnot on the list.) =20<\/p>\n<p>From your PC, choose one or more podcasts and have<br \/>\nStitcher stitch them together on your smart phone.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t particularly like the guy doing this YouTube video<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3DQ4_QwDpKBB4], it gives you<br \/>\nmore details about what Stitcher can do. The FAQ<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/faqs.php#top] answers your more<br \/>\ninquisitive and pesky questions.<\/p>\n<p>One negative is that Stitcher is ad sponsored, so you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nsee ads on your smart phone. The other n is that some<br \/>\npodcasts aren&#8217;t updated nearly as often as I&#8217;d like. For<br \/>\ninstance, Terri Gross&#8217;s Fresh Air was three days old when<br \/>\nI last checked.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Stitcher offers a service that&#8217;s worth trying.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, Karl also said that doubleTwist<br \/>\n[http:\/\/www.doubletwist.com\/airsync\/] AirSync, a podcast<br \/>\nsynching tool exclusively for the Android phone, is just<br \/>\nas impressive. Also free, it grabs podcasts through your<br \/>\nhome Wi-Fi network. =20<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techbite.com\/\">Sign Up for more great TechBite content
