PD through podcasts

So maybe I'm a little late in jumping on the bandwagon, but I've discovered podcasts.

I've been listening so far to the Ed Tech Crew with Tony Richards and Darrel Branson and R U Connected with Jenny Ashby and Lois Smethurst.

I've been listening to them each morning and afternoon as I drive to and from work and as I do the ironing (a task I hate but made so much more enjoyable as I listen to each of these episodes).

I've loved learning about new sites and resources and using them as an opportunity to liven tasks that I'd otherwise seen as boring or as a chance to be more productive at a time when I'm usually not.

As a 'noob' though, what I'm wondering though is how do others manage their podcast subscriptions? Is there a better way of managing and subscribing to podcats? At the moment, I download episodes on my iPhone whilst I'm out and about. Is there a way that they can be 'magically' sent to my phone? Is there a way to be notified that a new podcast is available? What I've also noticed that if I am downloading a podcast I can't go back and listen to one whilst that one is downloading.... Where do they disappear to?

What tips would you offer someone new to using podcasts ?What resources could give me more information?
