In my opinion, iTunes is one of the best overall podcast subscription tools out there. It lets you find, manage and organize your podcasts very easily.
1) On the left side of you iTunes program under Library, click Podcasts.
If you are new to podcasting you will have nothing in your playlist. No worries, you can add a podcast in no time!
2) Click Podcast Directory on the bottom right of your iTunes window.
This takes you to iTunes neatly organized and easy-to-use directory full of free podcasts. Look
around, you can find a podcast on just about any subject.
Find a podcast that interest you and click it. For example “CarCast” by Adam Corrolla.
Browse the subscription page for descriptions, reviews and a list of prior episodes from this podcast.
3) To subscribe, simply click Subscribe at the top of your screen.
This tells iTunes that you want to download this podcast, and that every time the author releases a new episode to download it automatically into your iTunes Podcast playlist.
4) Click Podcasts under the Library heading again and it takes you back to your playlist where you should see your new podcast!
Keep in mind that only the most recent episode of this podcast has been downloaded. If you want to get prior episodes click on triangle to the left of the podcast title. This drops down a list of prior
episodes from the same author. Click “Get Now” to download these episodes individually.
IF THE iTUNES LIBRARY DOES NOT HAVE THE PODCAST YOU ARE LOOKING FOR…
5) If the iTune library does not have a podcast, but you are sure that it exists, you can download it into iTunes directly from the source. Click the Advanced tab in your iTunes program and then click Subscribe to Podcast.
6) Simply insert the RSS Feed URL of the podcast you wish to subscribe to and it will find the podcast on the internet and download it into your playlist.
RSS Feeds for podcasting are generally easily to find as they can be located on any website that delivers a podcast. The universal symbol for RSS is 
RSS feeds typically looks something like:
This is for the howstuffworks podcast.
The “settings’ button at the bottom of the screen is also a very helpful tool. It allows you to choose how often new podcasts are updated, how many episodes to download when a new one becomes available, and how many old episodes to keep in your system so it doesn’t become full of wasteful podcasts.
