Podcatcher Tools

My favorites (in order)

1) Google Reader (Yes you can subscribe, organize, watch, and/or listen to your podcasts in Google Reader! I just discovered and it is way better than iTunes, watch out Apple)
2) Netvibes (Also webware)
3) iTunes (Good for finding podcasts but you need to download software and can't organize)
4) Juice (Freeware)
