Podcasting allows you to subscribe to feeds, which include
links to audio programs. Every time one of your subscriptions
posts a new program, it will automatically download onto your
computer. You can then transfer those shows to a portable
music device (such as your Radio YourWay LX), listen to it
throughout your house via a wireless connection and take it
with you wherever you go. Essentially, it’s a personalized
radio station that you can program and change whenever
you want.

If you’re interested in using your Radio YourWay LX for
listening to Podcasts, we suggest you begin by visiting the
following websites:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast – Provides an excellent
overview of the history and terms involved in podcasting.

http://www.ipodder.org/ – Here, you will find the software you
need to subscribe to podcasts. Click on the “Download
iPodder” link, choose your operating system (Windows, Mac,
Linux, etc ... ), and download the software. There are several
“aggregator” programs to choose from, but we recommend
iPodder. It’s free, easy to use, and works with any computer.

http://www.podshow.com/ – Podshow.com is just one of the
websites that lists different programs that are available for
podcast.
