I’ve been looking for a program that would let me update my iPod podcasts and sync them directly from my Ubuntu laptop.  It’s been harder to find than I thought it would be, but that may have been because I was looking for the wrong thing.  Tried Amarok, Banshee and Rhythmbox, but none of them would grab my current list of podcast subscriptions off my iPod for me.  Maybe I was looking for too much with that.  Failing that, I decided to try GPodder, which is a podcast-only application for Gnome.  I still have to re-enter all my subscriptions manually, but I like it’s so-far seamless integration with my iPod.  The interface is nicer and quicker than iTunes on Windows, no doubt about that, and downloading and syncing is a snap so far.
