Get set up and listen to a podcast

 

  1. Go to http://www.dopplerradio.net/

 

  1. On the right-hand-side of the pages is a download bar with the most recent Doppler program on it. Click on that program.
  1. Once it is on your computer, click on the Doppler set-up file and your computer will begin the process to set it up for you.

 

  1. Once Doppler is set up, get on the Internet with your favorite browser.
  1. Go to http://www.podcastalley.com/.

 

  1. On the left-hand-side of the page use the pull-down menu to choose a Podcast Genre you’re interested in.
  1. In the center column, just below the Podcast Genre list, you’ll find a long list of podcasts in the genre you’ve selected. Scroll down this list and click on a couple titles that catch your eye to see a brief explanation of what they’re about.

 

  1. When you’ve decided on one that you’re the most interested in, click on “subscribe” which is just below the expanded explanation.
  1. This will take you to another page that displays the feed’s URL in a small box. Copy the URL displayed in that window.

 

  1. Maximize your Doppler window.
  1. On the bottom right side of your Doppler screen, click “add feed.”

 

  1. In the GUI that opens up, paste the URL into the line that reads “URL.”
  1. Click “add feed” on that screen.

 

  1. You will see the feed status beginning to climb as Doppler goes out and gets the podcasts for you. Go get a coffee, it could take a moment.
  1. When the feed is complete, go to My Music Files (or wherever you keep your music).

 

  1. Click the icon that matches the name of the podcast you wanted to listen to.
  1. Windows Media Player should open and begin playing. Sit back and enjoy the show.

I’ll bet you found that incredibly easy! In fact, it probably took longer to read about than it did to actually get started!
