Normally what you would see when you go to a listing for podcasts that are in iTunes would be this:
Just have your students install the iTunes Audio Prevgiew/Podcast Downloader extension from the Chrome web store
Now, when you go to your chosen podcast page, the extension will add a Download link next to each audio file that the students can click on and listen to or download to their chromebook or Google Drive. This will also work on your laptop when using the Chrome Browser.
Once on the new tab, you can get the url for that specific podcast to share with your students... Check out the iTunes podcast listing page, for thousands of free podcasts organized into dozens of searchable categories. Once you find a podcast you'd like your students to listen to, you can share the URL with them by posting it on your website, in your LMS (Moodle, Edmodo, Schoology), or just email it to them. Unfortunately this extension only works for audio podcasts and not video podcasts.

Aside from iTunes, there are many Chrome apps for listening to Podcasts. There are too many to mention them all, but just based on ratings in the Chrome web store, here are 3 you may want to consider
