The Idea
A site that can stream any podcast regardless of where it is hosted and track which podcasts you have already listened to, and even resume podcasts in the middle. The site will also include sophisticated feed management so you can subscribe to any number of RSS feeds, and both feeds and individual podcasts will support tagging. When you are in the mood to listen, you can either listen to the default playlist which just plays podcasts by chronological order, or create a playlist on the fly by handpicking some podcasts, or create a playlist that corresponds to a feed or tag(s). After creating the playlist, you can listen to your personal stream using a Flash player, Ice/Shoutcast client, or VoIP phone. The system will always track what podcasts you have listened to and move them from the primary part of the web interface to a special "archive" section. Partially heard podcasts will stay in the primary section but have a special icon and tag.
I thought of this idea when I was...
... like to listen to podcasts before going to bed and I get frustrated with the work required to download and queue them up. Besides wasting disk space on my hard drive, I end up with this big mess of mp3's with cryptic names, and I can barely remember which ones I've already listened to. Granted, installing the "Juice" podcast receiver would probably make things easier, but it is still not exactly what I want.
