Yeah I searched a little more and saw some video podcasts... This app seems very easy to navigate with VO, which is something that always helps. Another question I have is, when you subscribe to a podcast, can you subscribe to it without it downloading to your device? In other words, subscribe to it, but just stream them? I thought I read on Applevis that you could this.
