Downloading Podcasts is Easy Dammit

Seriously easy. I was listening to the Jesse Thorn interview by Dan Benjamin today in the car, and they came to a point where they were talking about how difficult it is to get podcasts onto your phone to consume in the car. Erm what the fuck? People actually have an issue with this?

Seriously, three steps:

  1. Get a car stereo with an analogue input.
  2. Get a $20 input to output cable
  3. Download Podcaster for the iPhone

That’s it. I mean seriously. If only downloading audiobooks was as easy as this, I’d have a ton on my iPhone. At one point I must have had something like 1GB of podcasts alone. They’ve been keeping me warm on those hour long commutes to work every day (sometimes abit more depending on weather and traffic, sometimes less depending on public holidays that the company doesn’t consider).
