There are third-party apps in the App Store that are free and others available for purchase. These apps will allow you to subscribe to podcasts and download the clips to your iPhone without the use of a computer. You can then listen to the clips through those apps.
One app that allows you to subscribe to podcasts directly on your iPhone is the free Podcasts app. This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 7.0 or later. Below are instructions for subscribing to podcasts using this app. The instructions may vary if you use a different third-party app.
