Hints for iTunes users
1. Set your Podcast preferences to "Keep last 10 episodes" since each story is an episode.
2. The first time you download the Podcast, make sure you "Get" each episode. You only need to do this once.
3. The best way to listen to a Podcast is to create a "Smart Playlist" with the "Album" name equal to the name of the Podcast. Doing this will allow you to easily progress through the Podcast one story at a time. This is very helpful if you synch your iTunes to an iPod.
To set up a Smart Playlist in iTunes click on the "File" menu item and select "New Smart Playlist...". Select "Album" from the first drop down menu. Select "Contains" from the second drop down. Type in the name of the Podcast in the third box and click "OK." When you attach your iPod, remember to tell iTunes that you want this playlist to automatically sync to your iPod.
