Time to learn more about Podcasts

Now that I'm commuting to work everyday, I have 15 minutes each way on the Light Rail to read, listen to music or whatnot. I've been reading Tapestry in Action, but I think I'd like to get into Podcasts. I know a little bit about them, but not a whole lot. In the ideal world, I could subscribe to a podcast's feed in iTunes and everytime I'd synch my iPod - it would grab the latest podcast for a particular site. However, doesn't seem to be the case. As far as I can tell, I have to subscribe to someone's site with a podcast, then manually click on their "mp3" link - and then synch it to my iPod.

Is that how podcasting works? If so, it seems like there's a lot of user effort required. I suppose I can do the manual click-n-listen at work, but I'd prefer a more automated solution for the commute.

P.S. The bagel shop downtown (16th and Cali) has free wi-fi - sweet!

Later: I'm over it. I tried listening to a podcast while writing for the last 20 minutes. It's boring compared to music. I guess I'm not geeky enough.
