Getting Podcasts (Work in Progress)

The Podcast App

To get podcasts on your IPod with Rockbox. You will need a way download and sync podcasts to your IPod. By the way, Gpodder is my recommended app to fetch podcasts. Although it has a dated User Interface and experience, it is the best app I found for this task on Linux, that is also available for Windows and macOS.

Install Software from link

Gpodder website: https://gpodder.github.io/ 

Setup Gpodder:

  1. Launching the app.
  2. Open Preferences from the hamburger menu in the top right corner.
