You don't need an iPod to listen to podcasts - any MP3
player will do! You may consider subscribing to the podcasts using iTunes or Juice.
Sermons are encoded in the MP3 file format. Most sermons are under 8MB.
Files are encoded at 11Khz, in mono @ 24kbps. They can easily be converted
to CD-audio format, or played back on commercial MP3 players.
