A podcast aggregator for the Nokia N900
gPodder is a podcast receiver/catcher with a specialized UI that has been optimized for Maemo 5 and the N900. Podcasts are like short radio shows that you can download from the Internet and subscribe to like blogs or news feeds.
gPodder supports both audio and video podcasts equally, and is said to be one of the most usable podcast clients available.
Different versions for several platforms and devices exist. This is the Maemo 5-optimized version of gPodder.

Forgive me, if this is the wring place top post this.
On my N900 gPodder and Panucci are godsends for managing my podcast subscriptions.
I have one issue that I have not see discussed and would love to know how others are dealing with this.
How should delete old podcasts? I can't see an option within EITHER application. Instead I still have to go in via 'File Manager'. This is clunky.
Fixing this would make this app combo 100% perfect.
Any ideas?
gPodder, IMO the podost app for linux and I'm happy to have a nicely ported version on my N900. Thx!
I agree with others; this is now much better than Podcasting on S60 and is probably my favorite podcast app now.
Great app saves me so much time. I download 6 Podcasts for my commute. I no longer need my MP3 player :) thanks!
this great application made me discouver the wonderful world of podcasts. i like expecially the feature to be able to sync with the pc applicarion.
Works as advertised. The finding of Podcasts could use some improvements though.
The new interface is pure genius. Nice job guys! (finnish version has one translation wrong: virta I think is wrong. If you mean stream, you could put "suoratoisto". "Virta" is more like a stream in a river..
Are there plans to add network proxy support to gpodder? It currently does not respect the system wide proxy which i added to my wireless profile. And there is no way to tell it to connect through a proxy from the settings I filed a feature request here https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7241 Anyone affected should place vote for it
Love this app, much better than the s60 alternative, Video casts though can be a problem, as they wont play unless you download them, although I think that's a bug in maemo that has been found in other places as well.
Brilliant application, one I use very often. Keeps improving with each update.
Great for Podcasts... Vidiocasts, not so much. The "Search YouTube users" feature is superb and it is able to pull together current posted video by producers like Associated Press and Al Jazeera. This feature alone would make this the "go to" app for breaking news. Unfortunately, because of the limitations of media player as well as Mplayer, playing streams from the displayed links is a no go. Perhaps this problem could be solved by allowing a third party player like ZooTube the ability to handle these links. :)
Highly stable, handles simultaneously updating my podcasts (16) very well. One negative it slows down my 900 when I leave it up overnight.Just for the first one or two minutes, then it works fine.
Wow the wonderful world of podcast... heard about it but never tried it before... untill now... it's fantastic and now I'm hooked. Gpodder is fairly easy to use and is a good way to get and store Podcasts...
Great support and active development. Best podcast app I've ever used.
It's a nice program. But it could be a bit better when it would be able to use Panucci as standard. For the rest I don't want the media player to index the podcasts but haven't been able to change the indexing properties of the media player (still a beginner with Linux). Good program though!
How can I make Panucci audio player to be the default for gpodder so that when i try to play a podcast from gpodder it launches panucci instead of the N900 media player?
I cant get it to work on my N900 it seems it has issues using the systemwide network proxy. unlike the desktop client which works just fine ( even on kde)
It's a cool application in its own right, but... what a joy when I discovered that I could use it in portrait mode. A lot more comfortable sometimes (not always ;) ...)
I agree it would be good to have a UI that reduces the need for taps... Waiting for more to come here, it's one of my classics on Maemo.
Great soft. Automatic downloads, portrait and it's perfect.
last update with using g-sensor and quick access to play is great! Tnx!
Works pretty nice, but i agree with Floriano. A few improvements could be made regarding the usability, but best tool for now i use it a lot!
Very good feature set and design. Nice collection of sample podcasts. Some usability improvements are needed to reduce the number of taps, that's why in my opinion it is not a five-star application (yet).
I'm using gPodder before every flight to download latest podcasts (currently subscribed to Monocle Weekly and 37signals).
The only improvement that comes to mind immediately is automatic downloads that would happen on the background. That'd mean I would be able to remove "fetch podcasts" from my before-trip checklist.
the best linux desktop podcatcher on the N900. nice feature set. I like the Portai-mode support.
I am wondering if S60 podcast app's built-in list is available to external. That list is also very nice.
Works great for me. There are also samples podcast list so you can start really quickly.

Excellent functionality and usability! I don't want to imagine my life without this application use if for desktop and on my cell. Nuff said. Great work! (and keep it up! :D)
