Podcasts

[Pilgrim]

What do you use to download podcasts?

I had been using newsreaders (usually either Google Reader or Thunderbird) but I've recently downloaded iTunes. It's ok, but seems to be a memory hog as well, although probably not as bad as Real Player. Are there any other programs that you recommend, either online or some kind of software?

I use iTunes because I manage all my songs and audiobooks from there. It is a memory hog, though, as you note.

For podcasting, iTunes really is the best of breed at this point (if you have an iPod, nano, iPhone, etc.)

Another vote for iTunes. Being a memory hog isn't much of an issue when you've got 4GB of RAM.

(Though, I never had any problems with it on a machine with 2GB, 1GB, or even 512MB.)
