I agree the interface for Juice is not super slick, but I've been able to get it to work fine. It does load slow, but since it's free, it works, and it does stuff I don't have any other programs for, I'm still happy with it. I'm just familiar with NetNewsWire as a feed reader/RSS aggregator, not a "podcatcher." <a href="http://www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcast_Software.html" rel="nofollow">Podcasting News has a long list of podcasting clients</a> (what I would call "podcatchers") for both Mac and Windows. You might give one of those a try. iPodderX is listed first but its domain has apparently expired, so I don't know what is up with that. NetNewsWire IS listed among the clients... Based on what I see there and have visited, I'd give <a href="http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/" rel="nofollow">Yamipod</a> a try. I can't vouch for it tho, haven't tried it and probably won't as long as Juice/PodNova/iTunes keeps working for me. I'd be interested to know what you think if you try it or another solution that will not only download podcasts but also transfer them to your iPod, iRiver, or other mp3 player.

I've been exploring the NetNewsWire 2.1 Lite version (no-cost) and it's been interesting to be able to access my feeds across multiple machines. I'm actually considering purchasing the full version, which provides podcast support. I tried Juice and Podnova's client and I hated both. Hated is the right word here. What a clunky interface. When you compare these tools to iTunes--which I'd rather not use, esp with it being blocked at work--I keep coming back to NetNewsWire for the Macs in my life, Newsgator for everything else.

Thankfully you can still subscribe to podcasts with Juice and you don't have to use iTunes. <a href="http://feeds.podnova.com/f56/f5699eeabb20ae2b43113a37e528025e/opml.xml" rel="nofollow">Here is the link to my OPML podcast feeds from Podnova</a>. I'm not sure what a "better solution" is in terms of podcatchers. Since I use and love both my iPod and iPhone, using iTunes is a natural for me, but I do like the online feed management offered by PodNova and supported by Juice Receiver. If you can't use iTunes at all, I'd say use JuiceReceiver. The benefit of using PodNova with it is you can point Juice Receiver to your PodNova subscriptions, and it updates them whenever you run Juice. I'd be interested to learn what others are doing in terms of podcatching. I've had to switch laptops a couple of times in the past 2 years and I've found it to be VERY handy to maintain my podcast subscriptions on a free, web-based service. I like the fact that I can always add a new subscription from any web browser too, as I did today with the Jumping Monkeys.

I'm working on getting it unblocked, however, using PodNova and Juice seems a bit clunky. Is there a better solution? Also, would you share your OPML file for educational podcasts--the comprehensive list--with the rest of us?
