However, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downloadsquad.com\/2010\/02\/18\/google-listen-1-1-for-android-syncs-podcast-subscriptions-with-g\/\">thanks to Download Squad&#8217;s mention of a Google Listen version update<\/a>, I just found two different ways for you add our podcast &#8212; or any other one &#8212; to your Android handset. <a href=\"http:\/\/listen.googlelabs.com\/versions.html\">Version 1.1 of Google Listen adds a bunch of welcome features<\/a>, but the key one that I&#8217;m focusing on is the new Google Reader integration.<\/p>\n<p>With Listen v1.1, podcast subscriptions synchronize over\u00a0to your Reader account. To test this, I searched for and added a podcast. In this case it was <a href=\"http:\/\/hd.engadget.com\/podcast\/\">the EngadgetHD show<\/a>, because I can&#8217;t forget my roots. Once I saw the podcast in Listen, I logged into Google Reader and after about a minute, I saw a new folder called &#8220;Listen Subscriptions.&#8221; Of course, the EngadgetHD feed was there, and that&#8217;s when it hit me: why not just manually add <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/motr\">the MobileTechRoundup RSS feed<\/a> to Google Reader and then assign it to the Listen folder? That&#8217;s the beauty of the Google Reader synchronization feature &#8212; it&#8217;s a two-way street, which makes sense. If you switch from one Android device to another, wouldn&#8217;t you want your podcast subscriptions to follow you over to\u00a0the new handset?<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-57423\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/android\" title=\"Android\">Android<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/22\/android-everywhere-eclair-on-old-windows-mobile-phones\/\">Android Everywhere &#8212; Eclair on Old Windows Mobile&nbsp;Phones<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/20\/farmville-plants-itself-on-the-nexus-one-with-sense-ui-rom\/\">Farmville Plants Itself on the Nexus One with Sense UI&nbsp;ROM<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/19\/google-shopper-for-android-product-info-in-hand\/\">Google Shopper for Android &#8212; Product Info in&nbsp;Hand<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/02\/19\/this-week-in-mobile-tech-manor-76-platform-agnostic\/\">This Week in Mobile Tech Manor #76: Platform&nbsp;Agnostic<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So adding any podcast feed to the Listen Subscriptions folder will do the trick if you&#8217;re using Listen v1.1. Of course, once I went through the hassle of figuring that all out, I realized that there&#8217;s an even easier way &#8212; I just didn&#8217;t know it! You can simply tap on My Subscriptions in Listen and use the Add a Subscription option. You&#8217;ll need to manually enter the RSS feed for the podcast of your choice here. If that&#8217;s too daunting of a task on a small handset keyboard, maybe adding the feed in Google Reader on a full-sized keyboard is better for you. It&#8217;s always nice to have options!<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/57423\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=57423&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even before I bought an Android phone last month, readers asked me why our MobileTechRoundup podcast isn&#8217;t available in Google Listen.
