To get up and running with what the best vloggers and podcasters are putting out — without putting yourself out — it's best to start by installing a pair of free programs that do all the work of searching and downloading for you.

Start with a "podcatching" client, like iPodder (ipodder.org), available for Mac or PC, or Podcast Tuner (thenowhereman.com), from the Valley's own Chris Hagedorn.

You can program your computer, by using the right software, to regularly update and download certain programs. It's like TiVo for your MP3 player.
