Hi, why do you think downloading a few podcasts would make your computer any slower? I mean, thats what hard drives are designed to do. Store and delete information. Maybe over many years, especially if using a SSD but, these are things rated in multiple years of use before meaningful degradation. Someone more knowledgeable about such things can chime in if I'm mistaken but, I don't think this is anything to worry about as long as you have the storage space on your drive to accommodate. This will not make your computer any slower.
