Yahoo! Podcasts was a podcasting directory service that let users download, stream online, subscribe (via RSS) and review podcasts. It also allowed users to search for podcasts or browse from a podcast directory. [ [http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/pr/release1266.html YAHOO! LAUNCHES PODCASTING - Yahoo! Podcasts, a New Beta Service, Lets Consumers Find and Listen to New Audio Programs] ]

Yahoo! shut down the service on October 31, 2007, [ [http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_to_close_podcasting_site.php ReadWriteWeb - Yahoo! to Close Its Podcasting Site] ] [ [http://mashable.com/2007/09/26/yahoo-podcasts/ Mashable - Yahoo to Close Podcast Directory] ] and the podcast page now redirects to Yahoo!
