Rhythmbox does support podcasts I believe. Anyway, from what I have at
hand now I can say VLC and Clementine (KDE based) have support for
podcasts; but you need to use 3rd party repos to install them (lime my
own :> ).

I see that Rhythmbox is up to Rev. 2.97 on their home page. The current
version in the el repo is 0.12.8. Looks to me like the repo has an old
and creaky version.

Rhythmbox 0.12.8 functions pretty well for catching podcasts and
dropping them on my HD, but it does leave something to be desired. A
new feed can be added but deleting a feed can only be done by manually
editing the ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml file.

I tried the configure/make/install dance with the source for version
2.97 but I got resolvable dependencies. I'm thinking that's the reason
why there is no newer version in the repo.

Now to the point, VLC is useful for playing mp3 files once they are
downloaded, but not so useful for collecting them. Clementine is also
strongly music oriented. Great for playing podcasts but not so much for
catching them.

Anyway, what I'm looking for is a new pod catcher that isn't many years
out of date, and is supported in the repos. I've learned over the years
that mixing repos is a good recipe for disaster.

I use Banshee for all that multimedia stuff; including podcasts. It
works *great*. But my desktop & laptop are openSUSE. I don't know if
Banshee is packaged for CentOS6 [which I use on servers].

If you are generally online to listen, you can use google reader as a
subscription aggregator and play them through any browser that handles
mp3s. And, if you have an android phone, the 'listen' app
automatically tracks the subscriptions and can keep a configurable
number of unlistened podcasts downlaoded for offline listening
(perfect for long commutes...). The 'reader' phone app works with
text newsfeeds. You just have to be careful about going into 'all
items' in the web interface to reader and doing a 'mark all as read'
because it also clears the listen section.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately Banshee is not to be found in
the Cent OS repos. ;-(
