January 24, 2006 | 2:02 PM |

With many news networks joining the podcasting world, Hotline decided to give you a rundown of how and where to get your favorite shows. For a primer, check the jump.

The Networks

ABC: Shows available include "Nightline," highlights from "GMA" and the latest headlines from "World News Tonight" and "World News Now."

CBS: Shows available include "60 Minutes," "Evening News" and news headlines and highlights.

CNN's podcasts are a subset of the CNNRadio full-service radio network and tend to be individual news stories rather than full shows.

C-SPAN offers podcasts for "Q&A," "Road to the White House," and "Afterwords."

FNC provides highlights from "On the Record."

MSNBC and NBC have one webpage for all their podcasts which includes the "Nightly News," "Meet the Press," and highlights from "Today," "Hardball," "Live & Direct," "Countdown," "Scarborough Country," and the "Situation."

NPR offers podcasts of the stories of the day and programming from local stations.

PBS offers podcasts from "NewsHour" and "Washington Week" along with other programs.

A podcast primer follows the jump.

You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast. They are mp3 audio files that are downloaded to your computer, where you can listen to them there or transfer them to an iPod or other mp3 player (and, yes, they're usually free). You do need podcasting software to hear them. The basic requirements for podcasting are a computer, podcasting software and an Internet connection. But if you want portability, you need an iPod or other portable mp3 player.

In order to download free podcasting software for PCs, visit one of the following sites:

iTunes

Juice

jPodder

To get started, download and install your choice of podcasting software onto your computer. Although applications vary, each one should provide instructions on how to add podcast feeds to your list. Then, just check for the new podcasts and mp3s of your selected programs that will be on your computer and, if have one, on your mp3 player.
