It is funny to me that this question and the answer to this is a Top Tip at Extreme Tech, but it is.

And of course the answer is – "NO" – you can listen to podcasts with any device that plays an MP3 including many car stereos via CDROM.

An interesting side note is that Mike @ The Mike Tech Show recently did a show on MP3 players that his listeners were using.  The diversity is pretty amazing. Here is the list via his blog:

    You have a couple of options for sure on the Cingular 8125. You can use something like (www.odeo.com/m) … the mobile version of ODEO … via EDGE or you can use a subscription model like Newsgator’s Moible RSS tool currently in Beta. There are other native Windows Mobile 5.0 RSS readers that will behave like a podcatching client. You could also do this via ActiveSync with your Windows desktop system using Media Player and also via the minSDcard with Media Player on Windows. Lots of options … Steve
