Podcast app and newsreader should ideally be the same app, since podcasts are audio-blogs. Oftentimes people don’t bother to listen to the podcast if there are shownotes.
But of course, if it’s a podcast, there should be stuff like embedded media player etc. The read it later / listen to it later function is the same for text as it is for audio.
