1. You can find free podcasts in lots of places without going to the iTunes store. For example, the BBC has a lot of podcasts (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/). I particularly like In Our Time. Also, NPR has a lot of podcasts (http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_directory.php). There are also individual sites that have podcasts like dragon page (http://www.dragonpage.com/). You can also get TED as video podcasts (http://www.ted.com).

2. It seems to depend on the site. A lot of places will have a link that says "add to itunes". If they just have a link to the podcast rss feed, you can copy that link and go to Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast... in your itunes to paste in the link and start downloading.

3. I'm a very big fan of Radio Lab (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/) which addresses mostly science things but in a creative way. Also, I listen to each Scientific American Science Talk weekly podcast. They have several flavors (http://www.sciam.com/podcast/).

The first half of the question seems well covered so I will just mention the Scientific American podcast as a good science one. I admit that I haven't had time to listen to it recently, but I did listen to it for a year when I was commuting by bus. It wasn't overly technical and was always very up to date with recent developments across many different fields.
