How to get Podcast Software?
You need to install a piece of software which will search the web to find the latest download and automatically deliver it to your computer.
This software is usually free, and these three are examples of some of the most commonly used ones:

Subscribe to podcasts
Once you have the software installed you need to subscribe to the podcasts.
How you do this will vary depending on which software you have chosen. Here is a rough guide to how this might work:
If you have iTunes
You can subscribe to some podcasts through the iTunes Podcast Directory.
If you can't find the podcast that you want in iTunes then you can follow the same method as outlined below for Juice, Doppler and other podcast software.
If you have Juice, Doppler or other podcast software
If you have Juice, Doppler or another piece of software then this is likely to be the method you will need to follow. This is also the case if you can't find the podcast you want in iTunes.
In all of these cases you need to add the "feed" of the podcast to your software. The feed usually is simply the address of the podcast, which the software will go to each time it wants to check for a new episode.
The Micah Challenge feeds for podcasts will appear in the address bar of your internet browser.
You will need to copy this feed address and paste it into your podcast software. How you do this will depend on your software, but you should look out for buttons or links that say "Add" or "Subscribe".
Listen to the audio/watch the video
When a new download becomes available for the podcast you have subscribed to, your software will automatically download it.
For audio, you can then listen to this episode on your computer or transfer it to your portable player to listen to later.
You may want to check the settings of your podcast software for details including how often it will check for new downloads, whether it will keep old downloads for you etc. This will vary depending on the software you have chosen, and your personal preferences.
If you decide that you no longer want to receive Micah Challenge podcasts then it should be very easy to unsubscribe. Again, how you do this will depend on your software, but you should look for "Clear" or "Unsubscribe" options.
