iTunes software is free and works with both PC and Mac. If you go through iTunes to find podcasts then you'll need an iPod to play the file beyond your computer. Your computer can play the podcast within iTunes software so you don't need an iPod. Hope that makes sense.
So if you want kids to hear a podcast your choices are: 1. Download the podcast to iTunes on a computer and let kids rotate through the computer to hear the podcast. 2. Download the podcast to iTunes on a computer. Transfer the podcast to an iPod. Plug iPod into a classroom stereo system or set of speakers (need a special cable for this). 3. Go to a search engine and find where the podcast originates (most sites also have a "download MP3" button for a podcast). Burn MP3 onto a CD. Play the CD.
