Subscribe to a podcast to get the latest episodes delivered to your computer as soon as they're released. No matter where a podcast comes from, you can download it with the Zune software.

The easiest way to subscribe to a podcast is at Zune Marketplace. Podcast subscriptions at Zune Marketplace are free.

1. Sign in to the Zune software, then click marketplace, podcasts.
2. Choose a podcast, then click Subscribe.

If you find a podcast that isn't at Zune Marketplace, you can subscribe to it from another Web site.

1. Sign in to the Zune software, then click collection, podcasts, Add URL.
2. Go to the web page of the podcast you want. Click the RSS feed button and copy the URL for subscribing to the podcast.
3. Go back to Zune, paste the URL into the text box, then click Subscribe.

If someone beams you a podcast and you like it, you can subscribe to it from your inbox. The next time you sync your Zune, the podcast will be added to your podcast subscriptions.

1. On your Zune, click social, inbox.
2. Play the podcast, press the center of the Zune pad, then select subscribe.

If you decide later that you don't like a podcast, it's easy to unsubscribe.

1. In the Zune software, click collection, podcasts.
2. Click the podcast series you don't want, then click Unsubscribe.

If you want to listen to a single episode of a podcast, you don't need to subscribe to it. Just download the current episode as a sample.

1. Sign in to the Zune software, then click marketplace, podcasts.
2. Choose a podcast, then click Download.

To request a podcast to add to Zune Marketplace (maybe even your own), see Give Feedback About Podcasts.
