Podcasts

I was confused about podcasts. I didn't realize that you could play them on feed readers. I was afraid I'd need a podcast software program and I couldn't find one I knew would work with Vista and was afraid to try any of them for fear my streaming audio settings would be messed up again. So I found a way to simply add the program I found -- Earshot: Top Audiobook Excerpts -- onto Google Reader (it also lets you automatically add it to Bloglines). When I looked at the listing, behold! It came with its own player and I can listen from the aggregator. That's great. I wish I'd known before how this all worked.
