Impressive stuff. Here's Podcatcher 2.0 in action:
The main feed view, and (right) looking into a feed's episodes. There are options to manually download or have new episodes grabbed automatically.
Playing a podcast, a nice clean interface, and (right) the current About screen...
The new Play history view, plus (right) gPodder import! Actually setting up gPodder subs has to be done through a desktop web browser, etc.
Heartily recommended, whichever mobile platform you're on. For Windows Phone, it's probably the leading application of its type. Here's its entry in the Windows Phone Store - don't worry if it appears to be out of date on the page here. Install and then look on your device for the update to v2.0.
