Using iTunes, how do I subscribe to a podcast?

You can find many free podcasts by visiting the iTunes Store. For information, from the Help menu in iTunes, select iTunes Help, and search on podcast .

You can also find free podcasts on the web. To subscribe to a podcast you find outside iTunes (e.g., on a web site or in Oncourse):

1. Copy the URL for the RSS feed associated with the podcast. (In the Oncourse Podcasting tool, the URL for the RSS feed is near the top of the page.)
   
   
2. In iTunes, from the Advanced menu, click Subscribe to Podcast... .
   
   
3. In the box that appears, paste the URL for the RSS feed, and then click OK.

iTunes will download the latest podcast in the series and the titles of previous podcasts (without the content). It will automatically download future podcasts as well. To get the podcast content for a previous episode, click GET next to the episode name.

If you subscribe to many podcasts but don't listen to them, iTunes may continue to download the podcast title but stop downloading the podcast content. If you want the content for one of these episodes, click GET. If you begin listening to the podcast regularly, regular download will resume.
