If you have the latest version of itunes, then by going to the shop and finding your podcast, there is a button under the picture saying 'subscribe'.

A podcast is like a news report, they won't automatically come to you but if you see something on there you like and have on your iPod you can just buy it and download it.
You need to host your podcast on your own site from which you give the RSS feed to Apple. Apple adds a link to iTunes so that people can find and download your podcast but Apple do not host or manage the podcast themselves. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is used to publish frequently updated work, such as podcasts, in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed") includes metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. These benefit the podcast publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically and they benefit readers, who subscribe to the podcast, by feeding them the latest instalment.
