Create your own podcast: find links to audio files on the Web; huffduff the links (add them to your podcast); subscribe to podcasts of other found sounds.
I tell almost everyone I know who’s into web audio and podcasts how much I love Huffduffer.
While the site does a pretty good job of describing itself and the fact that it has a wonderful bookmarklet, I’ll also point out that Ryan Barrett has a video bookmarklet for it that “extracts the audio from videos on YouTube, Vimeo, and many more sites and sends it to Huffduffer.”
If you’re a podcastaphile, it’s a de rigueur tool. While I publish a listen feed on my website, you can also follow me on Huffduffer if you wish. If you’re using it, do let me know so I can add you to my “collective”. This will let me find the great audio you’re discovering.
I should tell Jeremy Keith more often I love that he runs this little service: Thanks for making the world so much brighter!

Thank you, Chris—I really appreciate it.

@simonwoods … you have my attention.
@simonwoods like @Chrisjwilson I use huffduffer and like @vasta I use Castro ands it’s Sideloader iOS extension. Between them I can get most single episodes into Castro. Huffduffer also lets you get YouTube videos(and other services) as audio.
@smokey @simonwoods I find that many larger podcasters are using third party platforms for hosting and distributing their podcasts. Many of these often use JavaScript trickery to hide the actual audio file of their episodes. Along with Cory Doctorow, I’ve complained about this before. There’s a link in there with a Cory tweetstorm that has some cluse for how to find mp3 files for podcasts using iTunes.
Others have recommended one of my favorite tools: Huffduffer. It’s got a couple useful bookmarklets that will help to find audio files as well as Ryan Barrett’s Huffduff-Video bookmarklet.
Another service I like is Listen Notes, which has a podcast search functionality and will point you directly to RSS feeds which will also uncover audio files a bit more easily.
I found many of these to help create faux-casts on my own website of things I’ve listened to.
Here’s a link/reminder (with some details) to the fantastic Huffduffer service, Chris.
