Don't want to install iTunes, how do I receive podcasts on WMP? I've seen "instuctions" for doing it, but I want something that Just Works, and without using too much of my CPU.

What podcasts? Some websites allow them to be downloaded as an mp3

Said I'd give these lads (http://newstalk.ie/newstalk/programmes/42/the-emergency.html) a listen. XML feed.

Add the xml feed to any RSS feed reader, it'll show each entry as an MP3 download

failing that, WinAMP (which I use for MP3's ahead of WMP and iTunes) can subscribe to podcasts as well

Really looking for an out of the box solution for WMP tetsujin1979. I'll use Winamp if I have to, but I'd prefer not. Not a fan.

It'll work manually Dodge, but that's not a podcast. I was hoping someone might know of some kind of plugin to replicate iTunes podcast functionality. Doesn't matter, it's not that important anyway.

Ah, I notice that if I sub to a podcast in Google Reader, it's automatically fed into a flash player, nice one!
