Use iTunes to feed podcasts to your Zune

If you're a Zune owner who's aching for Microsoft to get off their butts and add podcast support, wait no longer: You can use iTunes as a stop-gap solution.

Just install iTunes and then subscribe to or download all the podcasts you want (audio and video alike). By default, iTunes saves them in your My Music folder. Also by default, the Zune software monitors that folder for audio and video files. Thus, you should be able to find the newly downloaded podcasts in its Recently Added section. Toss 'em in a playlist and presto: They're on their way to your Zune. Just be prepared to wait if you download any video podcasts, as the Zune software has to convert them to WMV format.

Needless to say, you could use any podcast-fetching software to accomplish the same thing, but it's hard to beat iTunes' selection and simplicity. It's even better than FeedYourZune.
