I've resumed using mashpodder for podcatching just recently.

The audio jack on my mobile failed (rending my mobile functionally useless as a podcast listening device), so I dug out an old media player loaded with RockBox, and I use it as my listening device. For one day, I tried loading it manually with podcasts, and then realised that I needed something to manage show downloads for me, and mashpodder is what I turned to. 

I started modifying it so that it would run an arbitrary script (such as a conversion script) but got distracted. Maybe later....
