Podcasts w/o Zune or iTunes

[Steven Luker]

I just got my first smart phone last week -- Nokia Lumia 1020. And one of the things that I am looking forward to is listening to podcasts.

I know that I can sync my phone with my computer and get the newest podcasts. I'm already doing that.

How would I subscribe to a podcast (using my phone only) having the url of the podcast feed? To the best of my knowledge, this particular podcast is not in the list of podcasts WP users can just subscribe to.

If you use an app like Podcatcher or others in the store, you can subscribe to podcasts by url. Podcast support is one of the weak links of WP8 at least for now.

I do it directly through the phone. Wirelessly downloads over wi-fi at night. Not perfect, but works. Search for and subscribe through the store.

Many podcast apps will allow you to paste in the URL and subscribe to it. This of course means you're now managing the podcast directly on the phone, rather than having it sync through the computer. I've tested probably a dozen podcast apps and settled on Podcast Lounge as my favorite.:
