So, Juice Receiver is a freeware program available for windows, mac and linux which has a large list of podcasts on board. It is very easy to surf the directory of podcasts available while subscribing to interesting ones with the click of the mouse. Song downloads are managed by the tool itself but playback comes from a media player that is installed on your system, Juice supports three players (itunes, winamp and media player), not sure what happens if you don’t have one of them installed on your system. You probably have to manually run the podcast then once it is downloaded.

Juice Receiver had some problems to connect to certain listings in the directory to receive a updated podcast listing, some were working, some not. This is most likely a temporary issue and should be resolved quickly. You may also add podcasts manually to Juice Reciever.

If you are new to podcasts give this tool a try, it offers a good introduction to podcasts and suggest some very interesting ones.
