As Kevin said it's actually easiest to subscribe to podcasts through the iTunes Store, but from leoville.com I can find 3 ways to subscribe to the podcast. Read through this message first before you jump on doing just putting in a URL. First of all if I go to leoville.com, bring up the links chooser menu with VO-keys+U and type "Mac" I can find the link for "MacBreak Weekly" I VO-keys+space bar twice, the first to go to the link on the current page and the second to navigate the link to the linked web page, and it takes me to the page that describes the MacBreak Weekly podcast. If I use the item chooser menu (VO-keys+I) and type subscribe, I find an item for a subscribe popup button. I down arrow and find two (of the listed) options of interest: iTunes AAC and RSS. If I select RSS, I'm taken to the RSS feed for the podcast: feed://leoville.tv/podcasts/mbw.xml If I put this address into the Advanced Menu URL prompt, I'll be subscribed to the podcast. But, as Kevin said, this is really not the easiest way to do things. I would have had an easier time if I had simply put the iTunes Store in the Source list and typed "MacBreak Weekly" into the Search Text Field, then navigated to the Songs Outline Window to the first item and "clicke" on the button to subscribe. In fact, the other option from the subscribe popup button, "iTunes AAC" takes me to the iTunes Store podcast page for MacBreak Weekly where the last 23 episodes are listed, starting with the most recent. I interact with the Songs Outline and right arrow over to the description column where I can find out the subject of each program. If I right arrow one more column, I'm at the "Free" button, and if I "click" with VO-keys+shift space bar that episode will start downloading. Or, I can carriage return to start listening to it on the feed. When you browse the podcast web page, you can get individual episodes without subscribing. To subscribe, go back to your podcasts library; tab back to the Sources Outline and select Podcasts, then tab to the Songs Outline. Interact with the Songs Outline, arrow over to the podcast folder (probably the only item so you'll already be there!), open it up with VO-keys+backslash. You can use the contextual menu (VO-keys+shift+m) to Subscribe to Podcast or to download all episodes (if you're at the top folder level). If your right arrow to the description fields you can find out which episode you want to listen to next. Carriage return to start playing. This has taken a LOT longer to describe than it actually takes to do! Hope this helps, Esther
