Subscribing to NPI's podcast

I was recently asked by someone how to subscribe to our podcast in a podcatcher (an application that is used to download podcast media files). It's fairly straightforward - most applications have a tool where you just enter the URL of the media RSS feed and the software takes care of everything for you.

In Juice (formerly iPodder), the most popular podcatcher, click the "Subscriptions" tab and then the "Add a Feed" button (it's a plus sign). You can then add the URL of our Media RSS feed, which is located here. Click Save. Juice will add NPI's media RSS feed to your subscriptions. Use the "check for new podcasts" button to download our latest podcasts.

To download older episodes in the podcast, check the episodes you want to download and click the green "Check for new podcasts" button again.

In iTunes, you can subscribe quickly by clicking on the Advanced tab at the top of the screen, and then clicking "Subscribe to Podcast". You would then copy in the URL of our media feed.

You can also search for "progressive" in the iTunes podcast directory and the Northwest Progressive Institute will come right up. Then you simply have to click the subscribe button and you can download episodes.
