Podcasting Hardware

To get podcasts you need a computer, a decent internet connection and some podcasting software. To listen on your computer you will need a media player (software that plays the podcast). But if you want to listen "on the go" you will need to copy the podcast episode(s) to an MP3 player, mobile, or other device capable of playing this audio format.
