What is a podcatcher, podcast receiver, or podcatching software?
Podcatching software is usually a program, like iTunes, that you install and run on your computer. Podcatchers can also be Web-based services, such as Yahoo! Podcasts or Google Reader. Other popular podcatchers include: Juice, Fireant, and jPodder. You tell podcatchers what you want to listen to (or watch) regularly, and they automatically collect and store updates and new episodes of your favorite podcasts in a central location where you can find them any time you want. When you subscribe to any of the Perseus Books Group podcasts, you don’t have to constantly check our website for new content—your podcatcher will do that work for you, finding the latest podcasts and downloading them on a regular basis.
