FYI — RSS Player is now called Podcaster. And make sure if you download it you get the right one — they have separate apps for OS 3 and iOS 4 for some reason (bot .99 cents)

John, RSS Player should allow you to download old episodes (though I believe the Lite version doesn’t allow for downloading old shows). Podcast Push only notifies you of new episodes and brings you back to iTunes so if iTunes is only posting the latest episode you will run into the same problem via Podcast Push.

My favorite podcasts tend to revolve and evolve — right now my favorites are The Adam Carolla Podcast, Film Sack, and Tech News Daily. Film Sack is a real find if you haven’t listened — 4 funny guys analyzing old (sometimes very bad) movies they’ve found on Netflix streaming. Shenanigans ensue.

My problem, I listen to a podcast that is published about 4x to 5x per week. My problem is when I miss an episode my iPhone only lets me get the most recent episode, although iTunes on my computer will let me get all that I missed. So, if they release a new episode on Monday and Tuesday, and I check Wednesday, on my iPhone I am limited to only getting the Tuesday episode, but can't get the Monday episode. Will this fix that for me, or will it just give me a reminder?

My suggestion. I really enjoy when the staff (or even a subset) weighs in on an issue. I see this more with predictions, but I'd love to see what Podcasts the staff enjoys.

RSS Player and Drivecast seem good if someone is interested in a whole new app for listening to podcasts, whereas Podcast Push is merely a nice little patch for those of us who prefer to use iTunes without syncing.

I use both. The nice thing about these is that you can time jump or skip forward and backwards in a podcast. So if you want to skip commercials or boring interviews, just press down a few times. Beats pressing down continuiously on the iphone player's FF key, where accidentally double-clutching immediately takes you to the end of the podcast!
