I know about podcasts - just let me subscribe already!
What is a podcast?
A podcast is simply previously recorded audio that is available for download on the internet. The great benefit of podcasts as opposed to just downloading a file is that you can subscribe to a feed that will automatically check for new episodes (or sermons in this case) and download them for you. Once you are subscribed, all you need to do is have your client (iTunes is recommended) check periodically for updates. You never have to visit a the website again. You can choose to automatically download all new sermons, or only those that you want.
If you want to subscribe, you will need iTunes or an RSS reader that supports attachments. (Windows media player will not work)

If none of this makes sense to you, Yahoo! has a great explanation of what podcasts are and how to use them.
