Many podcast websites and apps let you listen to one episode at a time, but smartphone and computer apps will let you subscribe to your favorites. Each relies on RSS feeds. Choosing one in your podcast app handles adding the web address for you, but if you've found a show that isn't already listed, you can probably get the address for its RSS feed on the show's website.
Copy and paste it into your podcast app or an RSS reader to receive new-episode alerts, and to have it downloaded to your device.
