My son wants to subscribe to podcasts - but he does not want to give a
charge card to anybody on the net.

So he doesn't subscribe.

Some credit card companies have a system that generates one-time-use
credit card numbers that can be used for internet purchases. You never
have to reveal your real number. It's worth checking to find out if
your credit card company does this.

Correct - but can they be subscribed to from within iTunes without
being registered?

Few, if any, of the free podcasts listed and linked to on the iTunes
Store are not also available from other sources. All that's needed is a
URL to type or paste into iTunes' Subscribe to Podcast dialog.
