Yes, I Rockbox
Yes, my iPod does Rockbox. Personally, I dislike iTunes. In order to get greater flexibility from my iPod (and avoid iTunes), my iPod multiboots.
Jon's Recommendation of Podcasts:
To download podcasts, I use the Podcast Receiver called Juice Receiver, which is also free and open source (GPL) software. To download any of the podcasts listed below, on Juice press "subscriptions", the "+" button, and just cut & paste in the code as listed below.
Podcast choices are very personal, and what I enjoy certainly will not suit everyone. Below is a listing of Podcasts which I listen to and recommend.
Note: This list below is entirely open to change, updates, and often.
If you're interested in finding your own podcasts (and all should be), here are a few sites to begin the search:
Jon's Recommendation of Old Time Radio:
In addition to Podcasts, I listen to Old Time Radio (OTR). OTR is from as early as the 1920s up until recent. These archives would be nearly impossible to get, if not for their archives & torrents etc on the Internet. I am a long time fan of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, 2000 Plus, Dimension X, Buck Rogers, Future Tense, X Minus 1, Zero Hour, The Twilight Zone, CBS Radio Mystery Theatre, Orson Wells, Perry Mason, The Clock, Dragnet, The Shadow, The Avenger, Abbott and Costello, Sherlock Holmes, The Fantastic Four, among others.
