Hi Joseph,

I looked at using gtkpod, as a means for sync'ing podcasts outside
gpodder, but gave up after discovering just how horrible and
unintuitive it's UI was. Had I realize it needed to be setup/working
in order for gpodder to work I might have given it a little effort. In
the end I've ended up using the Banshee music player to sync podcasts,
it's a bit more heavy weight then I'd like but it's doing the job.
