Ask HN: What podcast manager do you use for desktop?

2 points by danschuller ↗ HN
iTunes is fine but - I find it doesn't refresh on it's own. I often have view the podcast in the store view to reveal the latest episode - Managing more than say 20 podcasts becomes annoying. You have to flick through each individually. I have a lot of low-volume podcasts I like. - Sometimes podcast that haven't had anything interesting in a while, and therefore I haven't listened in while, stopped getting updated

Really what I want is something similar to an RSS aggregator. I want to see the podcasts as a big stream and pick the ones that sounds interesting to listen to or save for later.

Open to suggestions! Paid is fine

It's not really a desktop podcast manager, in that it does not run as a native application nor does it actually download podcasts, but I use the Pocket Casts web interface to listen to podcasts on my desktop/laptop.

I use Pocket Casts on my Android device, so the fact that the web client syncs both my list of podcasts and played status is nice. I can be listening to something in the car, get home, walk inside, and pick up where I left off on my desktop without having to do anything other than open the site and click play.
