I would highly recommend Google Reader - it's what I use
(an Online Reader so there's nothing to download)

You could also upgrade your browser to IE7
(Details of using MSE feeds in IE7 here, all MSE feeds are listed here)

RSS readers can display a lot of podcast information. Some - including Google Reader - can even play mp3s from a podcast throught a flash player.

But to use Podcasts properly, you really need to download a Podcast catcher. The best around now is Itunes. See the Mutterings Podcast guide for screenshots of it in action - though it doesn't really go into Itunes it detail

Another one is Juice - but that doesn't play podcasts, just downloads them for use with other players
