I need some help with my new android tablet, folks.

I love getting the Archers, Woman's Hour, Medical Matters etc all downloaded as podcasts but as I've only ever used iTunes before, I don't have a scooby how I get them on android.....there are lots of podcatcher apps in the Playstore but the ones I've tried ask me to paste in the RSS feed address, but I don't know which it is.

Anyone know of a good BBC podcatcher, or at least explain what the RSS feed for woman's hour would be??

I've just come home from nightshift & need my podcast fix for sleepytime :-)

go to the play store and look for bbc player NOT bbc iplayer, is pretty good for the radio 4 stuff although took me a wee while to scroll through and find where shows where kept, ie The Archers is under drama, but Ambridge Extra is under Soaps, go figure. Dead easy to use, I'm currenlty listening to last night Archer's on my samsung phone, getting ridiculously into the Archers spent the other night looking up who on wikipedia.

Ah lampwick, welcome to the wonderful world of The Archers! I've only been listening for a couple of years and it's taken me aaaaages to find out everyone's back story (mn has helped massively!).

Thanks for the bbc player tip as well.

Thankyou lampwick, just what I was looking for Smile

I love The Archers, I always wait till the Sunday omnibus to hear the full weeks episodes in bed on Monday.

I like beyondpod. Probably because it's most similar to itunes- can't seem to make the bbc player work properly
