Actually this thread prompted me to go out and buy Downcast. After opening it, I double tapped on add podcasts and got a list of categories. One of the categories I looked at was news and politics. I saw several video podcasts among those listed there. In a few cases there was a video and an audio version listed separately. Haven't played with it enough to know if you can get a video only list but there are definitely video podcasts available. I guess the most definite way to find out would be to do a search on the particular podcast which interests you. That is very easy as well using Siri. Good luck.

Is there a video section/tab as there is in Apples Podcasts app?
