I make a coffee, light a gasper and listen to it at home on my laptop.

It comes via iTunes on the iMac and listened to on the iPhone, generally on my Friday walk to work.

is my listening method of choice.

and transfer to my iPod or listen via laptop.

Consumer feedback: I know the podcast is free but. I don't have a smart phone or care about apps. The new two-tier system is really irritating.

and then synced with my ipod.

I listen on old skool 6GB iPod mini.

sync my ipod to my PC once a week and there it is. I bloody love technology, me.

Then sync the PC to my iPod and listen on walks to and from work; sometimes I listen on my desktop PC.

... subscribe via iTunes, sync to my moderately old-school 80gig iPod and plumb into the "old" lug'oles while aboard the Madrid metro.

No. My manservant transcribes them for me and brings me a synopsis while I am taking my ablutions. I believe they are downloaded to an apple box or something but he listens to them on his comptometer while "surfing the interweb". I myself occasionally point this arrow clicker thing at the start button on this watchamacallit blog. I have an Eyepod on my telephone but that is just too damn 21st century for my taste.

Are they available on audio cassette yet?

I've got the rss-feed for the podcast in my Google Reader, download it from there and 'manually' put it on my mp3-player to listen to walking to work.

Then sync to my iPod and listen to it from an iPod dock usually whilst cooking the evening meal every Saturday.

Since the App started.

Tend to use my iPhone a lot for my listening these days, using the Tune-In Radio App and a docking station.

I have listened to the most recent ones via the app on the iPhone but I also occasionally download them from iTunes and sync them to my iPod/iPad for areas where there is no wi-fi available.

Never listen to them via the embedded link anymore.

..laptop to shiny iPhone 4.

I subscribe and always download it from iTunes. I synchronise my iPod fairly often, so that's my preferred method. I have the iPhone app as well, because, well, you have to, don't you, but more often than not I'll listen to the downloaded rather than the streamed version. This is for any number of reasons: the streamed version sometimes crashes; I may just not get around to it for a day or two and then it's on iTunes anyway; but, most of all, I can listen to it on my iPod or computer and then feel free to use my phone for something else.

I listen to the podcast using PodTrapper on my HTC Android phone and download directly to it from your Feedburner url. I'd be happy to use a paid for Android app to grab it though - I confess that it narks me a little when companies release iPhone only apps disregarding Android users.

... onto my Android smartphone (Thanks to the details given on here in a previous post).

I also download a copy to keep via itunes, sad hoarder that I am.

I subscribe on iTunes and the podcasts are automatically downloaded as they become available.

Copied onto iPhone and invariably listened to in the car on the commute via one of those FM transmitter thingys.

I did buy the app, but find that it is very difficult to get a consistent stream over 3G driving along the M6, so although I do also get the podcasts via the app, I never use the app to listen.

EDIT: For the avoidance of doubt, I download onto desktop from iTunes than sync with iPhone. I don't use the iTunes app on the phone itself to download.

then, if it looks like being a really interesting one (eg Peter Doggett/Danny Baker/Nick Lowe/Jack Holtzman) I'll put it on the iPod Classic and listen to it blissfully undisturbed in the car driving to and from work. Sometimes more than once.

Or, if it's of less interest to me (eg Word on the Water, or the Brett "can we just say how great you are" Anderson 'cast) I'll listen to it straight off iTunes on the computer complete with office interruptions.

I subscribe to your feedburner site on my Squeezebox server, that sorts out streaming the podcast to a squeezebox player in my kitchen, usually while having tea.

from itunes then via windows media player to nokia mobile phone may have android phone soon so a direct route to there would be good

This puts it on my desktop PC, then onto an iPod so that I can listen as I drive to work.

Subscribed in iTunes on my PC, sync to iPhone, generally listen in the car driving to/from work...

... and I don't mean the devil that has all the best tunes, I mean the devil who puts a hot poker up your backside.

I use the 'old' feed (http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WordPodcast) so my Mediamonkey player automaticly downloads the new podcast. Which is a problem when the feed misses one of the podcasts. That happened during Lattitude. Because there is no direct downloadlink on the website I have to listen on the computer of I have to resort to iTunes. But that is such a horrible, horrible program that I rather miss a pod.

For me, it's automatically downloaded, synced once a week, then listened to in the car. Boring, I know.

subscribe via itunes, downloaded onto laptop for listening. Did listen via ipod before it broke down and phone is only for making & receiving calls.

I download from iTunes onto the ipod for use on the bike and also listen to the embedded version from the Word website when I'm at work (sshhhh).

iTunes, synched to Android phone via HTC tunes app. No native iTunes support means some convolution

then listen at the gym. Any chance of a 120bpm build to 140bpm for 45mins with a 5 min 110bpm wind down?

Having the download facility as part of the app would be useful.....

or automatically via media monkey to the laptop at home and then copy across to my phone, which is an HTC desire s.

but I usually listen in bed on my Pure Evoke internet radio. The downside is it dosen't appear for a few days after it's put up here.

sync to either my iPod Touch or my old white 20GB gen 4 iPod then listen on the train, in the car via an FM transmitter or at work via a dock.

After all that I'm still eight episodes behind.

....who know whether it's possible to set it up so that you don't have to hit "Get new episodes"?

...these days more often than not I just download via Itunes straight to my phone when a new one's up. I synch the phone to the PC less and less these days because of Spotify etc.

Used to download it using iTunes but find the app much handier!

subscribe to it on iTunes, then to laptop, then to iPod, then listen to it in the car.

I have an iPhone but very few apps on it. The only one I really want/use is for scoring cricket matches (part if my job) and it works a treat for that. I haven't availed myself of its music playing capabilities as yet.

...using Juice software and transfer it by usb cable to my Nokia 5230. We can't all afford iphones and Galaxys y'know, or justify monthly contracts. So a bit miffed that those that can are given early access. As someone else mentioned, makes it feel like a two tier system. But as the podcast is free, I guess you need to make some money back somehow and the delay isn't too long. I listen on the bus to and from work. Which gets me some funny looks when I start laughing to myself... Keep up the good work!

and normally sync my iPod touch every day or so to catch up on my podcasts. I normally listen on my drive to work.

I sometimes connect to the iTunes store via wifi on the touch to check if there are any new podcasts if I haven't plugged the ipod into the mac for a day or so and download from there.

I never seem to stream them - I like the idea that I have a library of the podcasts at home on the mac and I can re-listen when I want to.

I have podcast feeds set up on my phone but, other than to see how it works, I never use my phone for music or podcasts.

I always used to just subscribe to it on iTunes, download it to my iPhone and listen to it in bed or on the train or on my morning walk or whatever.

Now I use the app a lot, and even stopped the iTunes subscription. The disadvantage with that is that on the train I sometimes can't get wifi. So now I do both.

Subscribed to podcast via iTunes and then synced to the iPod

Subscribe to podcast on iTunes. Ipod gets sync'd every morning plus I add anything from the previous night's radio via radio downloader.

Always have something new to listen to when I'm flying around motorways & sitting in airports.

via the free subscription onto laptop.

Listen to it on my iPod either on the dock in the kitchen or on the journey to and from work

The Word Podcast is always listened to in the bath, mostly on my ipod downloaded from itunes, but occasionally (If i haven't had time to sync my ipod) I will listen on my iphone using the app thingamy.  I am not as fond of the phone app because I can't rewind when i inevitably nod off and am awoken by a roar of laughter at a comment i have just zzz'd through.

I subscribe via iTunes on my iMac. My iPod is set to sync podcasts I haven't listened to yet. The Word podcast is usually listened to via the iPod in the car while commuting but sometimes on the Bose sounddock in the conservatory.

I subscribe in iTunes and listen to it on my Mac during the day when I should be working. Every now and then or if it's one I think Mrs Yorkio will enjoy too, we'll listen to it in bed on the iPad, usually via the app but sometimes by downloading them directly to the iPad.

That said, we listened to the Latitude podcasts on a drive to London with the iPad balanced on the dashboard after I'd pulled over into a service station and downloaded them.

and then sync it to my iPod. I have an Android Phone, and I understand I could use an RSS feed to get an mp3 version onto it, but I like to keep podcasts 'Thing I Enjoy' exclusive from phone 'People That Might Annoy Me'.

Synched to iphone

how anyone can call the way they access a podcast "old school." Anyway, I digress.

I subscribe on iTunes, it downloads automatically, then I manually sync it to my iPhone. I then normally listen on my lunch break whilst enjoying a warm beverage from one of the hugely popular coffee chains that clog up Britain's high streets.

over the air via Doggcatcher , listened to at my leisure. No PC sync required. Sometimes stream it from the phone as well if out and about.

I download from iTunes and sync my iPhone to get the podcasts, but I also use the App - mainly for
archive podcasts and pre-release ones. I almost always listen to them on the bus to work. The only problem with the App is that the 3G signal is a bit variable here in deepest, darkest Cornwall.

then sync to my IPod.
Occasionally I'll just listen to the embedded version direct from said desktop.
By the way, it's rather good.

Generally it's iTunes on Mac synced to iPhone. But if on way back from France (every few weeks) I download the latest one direct to phone using the free wifi at Maidstone services and listen in car on way oop north. I use the app to listen to the oldies that are unavailable elsewhere. Occasionally listen to the embedded one but very rarely.
I have just bought a new Ford as mentioned in the OP and the iPod is permanently connected for music. The iPhone connects by Bluetooth for podcasts and audiobooks. FM transmitter consigned to history and it all works brilliantly - even spotify over 3G and then via Bluetooth to car stereo.

but previously I subscribed on iTunes and then transferred the podcast to the phone.

Streamed straight to the kitchen radio, usually when I'm cooking. And only if my wife isn't there complaining about me listening to 'boring people just talking'.

Subscribe to podcast on iTunes, then sync to iphone

is my method of use

Although I did spend several months dubbing each new one to cassette for a technophobe relative. I eventually managed to persuade him to listen to it directly from the site (his cassette player is next to his computer, which until then was basically a glorified typewriter with added email. He neither has nor wants an mp3 player.) He now listens to it from the embedded link.

...download, then manually drag and drop to the iPod.

It is a while since I played with it, but I found the whole automatic synching business in iTunes clunky and proscriptive for what I wanted, either filling my iPod needlessly or getting rid of stuff I hadn't heard yet.

Usually listened to walking to and from the town.

Mrs. F set it all up for me and it just appears. I think some kind of magic is involved.

I don't understand just about everything written above. No apple products, apps or synch?? here. In fact, the only post that made any sense to me was Beany's.

Windows 7 user so the embedded thing shows up when it feels like it but never when I want to listen to it. I used the Juice podcast catcher before I got Windows 7 but I couldn't get it to work with said OS. I now use the ZenCast podcast catcher (I do have Zen mp3 players but that's not the reason and they're not necessaary to use the software)which I click on once a week and all my podcasts land on my pc. I then transfer the podcast manually(copy and paste)to my mp3 player. Sometimes I just play it back through my pc speakers using Windoze Media Player if I'm working in the kitchen.

I too believe that iTunes is the work of Satan and his horn-ned minions thus, I use the RSS feed to download directly to my Nokia. The Latitude 'casts did seem to get a bit jumbled, but they all arrived eventually.

ITunes to PC (changed to a Mac in the last couple of weeks). Sometimes listened to here at the desk, or downloaded to iPod (Classic 160G) and listened to in the car or in the bath (Saturday night ritual to avoid Casualty - the programme not the medical care facility).

No idea what an RSS feed is and not very aware of iPhones or Apps - I believe the phone that Mrs G made me have is Android but try not to use it if at all possible, anyway the battery runs out every few days even when not used, so it's not often in a working state.

Download it onto iTunes then synch it to my iPod and listen to it on my journey to work

I subscribe to the podcast through iTunes on my desktop and sync it with my iPod and iPhone. I listen to it when I'm travelling, either through headphones on the train or with the iPod connected to my car music system. I usually listen to a podcast a few days (and sometimes weeks) after it is released.

I downloaded the iPhone app. I hesitate from criticising the app, because I think, in principle, it's a great idea and someone's hard work has gone into it's development, but for me it was not money well spent. If I focus just on the podcast capability of the app (I would be happy to provide constructive feedback on other aspects of the app, if asked), the streaming option feels clunky and is not practical for the way I listen to podcasts.

transfer to ipod, giggle on the bus and tube.

then sync to my iPod. I usually listen in bed at night and tend to nod off half way through (not because it's boring of course, just 'cause I'm old and tired...). However, I often wake with a start, sit bolt upright sweating and wonder what the hell Mark Ellen is doing in my bedroom.

Then I realise, it's OK it was just the Podcast, I'd nodded off again. So I turn over to go back to sleep, checking that I didn't wake Mrs Retro and as my sleepy eyes get accustomed to the darkness I wonder, just when did she buy a blue night-shirt and in this gloom, doesn't she look like a mash-up of Paul McCartney and Derek Nimmo....ARRRRRGGGHHH!!

Donwload it with iTunes 10 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X "Snow Leopard". Used to transfer it to my iPod Classic (120 GB), but since it died on me a couple of weeks ago, I am now forced to use my iPod Nano (4 GB). Usually listen to it while travelling by taxi boat, using my beloved Sennheiser HD-25 headphones. (I do not have an iPad or an iPhone, btw.)

When the blog tells me that there is a new podcast I go to that section of the site and download it to my laptop. In the old days I used to then send it to my Creative Zen (along with other podcasts from Danny Baker etc.)and listen on my weekly drive up to London & back. Now I'll just listen on my laptop in my office because the Zen thingy has broken.

What I would LIKE to do is have the pod on my HTC Desire smartphone, but I struggle to make this happen.

Being not the most tehnically literate of folk.

Download from feedburner on an individual basis onto my elderly iRiver.

Works for me but getting them onto my phone sounds interesting. Will ask the teenage son to investigate.

I go here:
http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/podcast
Then select the "directly", then do a "right-click-save-as" on the Podcast.

I have some nice wireless headphones which I plug into my pc, then I play the podcast via Windows Media Player as I potter about the house doing the washing up etc.

I don't subscribe to the podcast, but if one takes my fancy I download it via iTunes and then listen on my iPod once it's been synchronised. I'll then listen to it when I get round to it, usually when driving somewhere.

I have downloaded them all via iTunes and listen to current ones (and backstage current ones) via laptop. These are then kept and burnt to mp3 cds. These old ones are revisited via a cd player while I'm taking a bath. Current ones and busy schedule sometimes mean laptop is taken into bathroom so I can hear in peace and quiet...

Specific enough for you...

Click and play - though it's often not there on IE so I use Firefox as that always works.

I download it to my MP3 player (from the source that isn't iTunes) and listen on my way home from work.

Very occasionally I'll listen to the embedded version. Usually if I'm doing something at home that doesn't require too much concentration.

Download via iTunes sync to laptop, then onto iPod. Always listen on the iPod on journey to/from work. Don't really have enough time in the day/week to listen any other way.

Do not have iPhone or other smart phone, no intention of getting one within next year or so.

Ditto iPad, etc.

Via Google Chrome, as Internet Explorer seems to have trouble displaying the 'Play/Pause' icons

to my work PC where it sits on my iGoogle homepage. I listen to it from there while at work. Don't sync it to any devices.

I subscribe to the podcast and listen to it on my iPod. I sync the iPod most days as there's regularly something I've remembered I want to listen to.

I have tried listening to the podcast while browsing the site but I don't seem to be able to concentrate sufficiently on two streams of words, so I usually listen in the car (iPod wired in via cassette adaptor) or when traveling.

I really don't do all that iTunes/iPoddery stuff. So:

- either RSS feed into Google Reader, download to PC when I feel like it, sometimes file transfer to (android) smartphone, or

- connect smartphone to WiFi and download from whatever podcast reader I'm experimenting with at the moment (currently BeyondPod, which will import feeds/podcasts from Google Reader; used to use Google Listen but it was taking too long to update with new podcasts).

(If I'm honest, the preponderance of iLife stuff which everyone else uses just makes me dig my heels in even further. Always was an awkward sod who wouldn't follow trends - but on the plus side, that's how I ended up liking the music I do.)

......but never use it. As I commute into London each day I update and change my playlists and podcasts all the time. So usually listen to the Word podcast a day or twwo after it becomes available in itunes on my ipod touch. That way when listening if I stop I can play again from the same position. I guess you cant do that on the itouch app.

..then download to Android phone using cable via Windows Media Player.

Then I listen to them in the kitchen first thing in the morning and then on my walk into work.

...then drop it onto my iPod. I've just been catching up listening to all the Latitude ones - an excellent batch!

The Mac in the corner stores all my music so it's on all the time. It makes sense to have iTunes running all the time too so that all the podcasts that we want get downloaded automatically.
Then either me or the FPO drag and drop (synchronisation is a dirty word in our house, we like to maintain full control!) what we want onto our ipods for listening to in the car. I put all my podcasts on the pod on a playlist so that the next one plays automatically so I don't need to select them when driving.

...who listens on a laptop. It downloads automatically on iTunes and then I listen to it from the laptop when I have a spare hour using the internet.

Download from Google Reader - listen on Desktop

...I listen to it on my ITunes player on my hard-wired PC. I have set iTunes to upload new Word podcasts. (I don't synch podcasts to my iPhone for fear that it would clog it up, plus I am always at my desk).

One point I would make is that with the embedded one on the site, it is hard to rewind/fast forward so if you do not listen to it in one chunk it's a bit awkward. That is why I very rarely listen to it that way.

I use the podcaster app to download podcasts directly to my iPhone. I can also sync music wirelessly with Spotify so I hardly ever sync with iTiunes these days.

with my computer and download it from there. I have the Word app and sometimes listen to it from there, but would like to be able to use that when I'm in a bad coverage area. There doesn't seem to be an offline mode for the app at the moment. Unless I just can't find it!

wonderful machines do it all for me. From itunes to iphone.
Done.

Which as it has 160GB storage means I have them all on my pod and very often listen to one on my walk to or from work.

You'd be surprised how often I need a bit of Clare Grogan or Kate Mossman early in the morning.

I usually listen to it pottering aroung the garden or, if I am given two minutes peace to myself, indoors

Listen in the kitchen via a Sonos box which accesses my music library.

...I download it onto itunes and listen to it on my iPod on the walk into work.

Not an apple fan, but iChoons is fairly good as a podcatcher. The Word is just one of many podcasts bunged on my phone every week. I probably could find a more glamourous wire free method, but I'm old school and know & like file manager.

and listen on laptop via Media Monkey

...I listen via the embedded bit.

and listen on my ipod as I'm walking.

Go to podcasts, go to word podcast, then get more episodes and download it over wi-fi direct to my iPhone. No PC involved.

I usually d/load it from iTunes on my laptop and bung it in a podcast playlist that I then sync with my iPod. I sometimes d/load it from iTunes directly into my iPhone if I'm kidding myself that I'm all over this convergence lark.

I'm not and usually go back to iPod.

Subscribed via iTunes on MacBook, listen from MacBook. Sometimes transfer to iPod or iPad.

Prefer download to streaming.

and very grateful for it.

Then listen on iPhone, usually whilst driving.

but I occasionally download straight to iPhone. I've bought the app too.

I don't own a mobile phone or an iPod.
I really really REALLY hate mobile phones...!
People look at you really strange when you say you don't have a phone.
"How do you survive ?" is the typical question asked.
I just shake my head and stare at them in stunned silence, not understanding the question.
Apparently I am a medical wonder, being able to shut up and hold my thumbs still all day long. :)

and my ears, so it's RSS now.

I fucking hate Apple.

Subscribe to feed, and have a page on Yahoo reader set up as My Podcasts, on which subscriptions to half a dozen appear more or less regularly. Look in once a week or so to download any new ones, then add them to a playlist in Windows Media which syncs to my Creative Zen whenever I plug it in. Actual listening takes place on the move.

And from there, I sync it with my iPhone, and listen on my way to work.

Occasionally, I stream it straight to my iPhone, if I hadn't got round to syncing with my computer, and I really want to hear it NOW. But I don't make a habit of it, as it chews up my iPhone data allowance.

I've not bought the app. Ridiculously cheapskate as it seems, I've not yet seen a good enough reason to pay for content that I can (equally legally) get for free, just as easily, elsewhere. I've heard all the podcasts, so not interested in the early pre-iTunes casts etc. I subscribe to the magazine, so I don't feel like a total freeloader. If there was more exclusive content, I would buy the app.

I download the new podcast when it appears from iTunes. The app is intriguing, but the lack of a download function is the key stumbling block for me at the moment - I don't want to have to faff about with streaming audio when on the move. It's more convenient to have the podcast downloaded onto the device itself. I love having podcasts on my iPhone - they're a great accompaniment to the morning shave, commute etc.

and it seems no one has mentioned Blackberry. What's the best way to get the podcast onto my Blackberry?

http://youtu.be/kAG39jKi0lI

Subscribed in iTunes, so downloaded the next day (being in Australia).

Sync iPod (nano) to iTunes before morning commute on the day I know it's downloaded. Listen in car (via cable to aux jack), or on bus and train (via old-fashioned analogue pink things on the side of my head).

Also sync to recently acquired iPhone, but not so regularly, and "just in case". Have only listened to it on the phone once, so far.

I bought the app, mainly as a gesture of thanks for the great value I've got out of the podcast over the years. (I still have all the old ones in iTunes, possibly a complete collection.) Have only streamed the podcast once yet - I'm avoiding using up the bandwidth, and don't like not being able to continue from whatever point I left off.

...then on to iPhone, then either headphones or car stereo. Seldom listen to things on the PC itself. I did do the direct-to-iPhone a couple of times, once through broadband and once through home WiFi, but the user experience sucked. Since I have to sync to the PC anyway for Outlook calendar and contacts it isn't too much of an overhead to keep doing it that way (apart from the level of crappiness of iTunes on Windows), but the Appstore/iTunes space is a damn sight easier to navigate on a large screen.

then onto iPod, which I usually listen to in the car.

Going on holiday in September though, so will save up then next couple and listen through my headphones by the pool.

Although I play the ipod in the car, I tend not to put them on because it'd be ace to listen to them all the way through but driving gets in the way, it's concentrate and knock some rioter down smashing their 42 inch addition or miss bits.

Every six weeks I do three days for work in a place that's cheaper and easier to get to by train. My treat is half a dozen on the ipod, one each way and full concentration.

The recent ones have been top notch, Doggett was superb and Nick Lowe, well is there a more likeable man in music? I think not.

...syncing to an iPhone (4) every week or so. I own the app, but don't use it, since I can't use it on the Tube and (at the point I deleted it from my phone) couldn't pause it and return to where I'd left off if I got a call/text/email/any pop-up notification halfway through.

The not-on-the-Tube thing is the real app-killer for me, though. I can't really use a streamed podcast.
