How do I listen and subscribe to podcasts?

There are many options. Here are just a few:

Subscribe via iTunes for automatic downloads
If you have iTunes (version 4.9 or later), you can use it to subscribe to any podcast channel, and all past, present, and future audio files in that channel will be automatically downloaded to your computer (and to your iPod, when you connect it). To do this, simply select the "Subscribe to Podcast" option from the "Advanced" menu in iTunes. Here is the current Ridgeview Podcast link for iTunes

Subscribe for automatic downloads if you don't have iTunes
If you don't have iTunes, there are plenty of other software products that will work with your media player of choice. Each of these products allows you to subscribe to podcast channels, and audio files will be automatically downloaded and added to your media library. The most popular software seems to be iPodder. Here's a list of other podcasting software.

Click & play on the web
If your web browser is enabled with Flash, you can listen to podcasts embedded in web pages (such as the one on the Ridgeview Podcast Archive page). (This is no longer being updated by Ridgeview Church as of 2010)

Download MP3 files
Many podcast channels are also available as individual MP3 files which you can download to your computer and listen on your media player of choice. These MP3 download links can be found under each sermon video on our MEDIA pages.

Subscribe via MyYahoo or MyMSN
If you have a MyYahoo or MyMSN account, you can easily add any podcast channel to that account. The podcast channel will simply appear as a new module, and each new "post" will appear as a new "headline" on your personalized page.
