Kodkast

If you're big on listening to podcasts but find it hard to keep track of what you've been listening to or where you've left off with each particular entry, then Kodkast might be a good choice.

This small program which requires VLC to function properly is meant to help individuals stack their podcast collections in one place. You can access these after adding them from the program's main window. The app doesn't hog a lot of resources, although loading times could have been better.

The idea behind this application is to have your podcasts in one single place. Adding entries to the library can be done easily by either adding an RSS feed URL or using an iTunes podcast link.

If you're new to this and would like to have a list of podcasts worth your time, there's also an option for this situation, meaning the iTunes Top 100 button which will display the most popular options on the market once clicked. From the podcast list, the user has to click on whatever you choose, and hit subscribe to add the selection to a personal library.

Once you've added some entries to your collection, playing them is also easy. Double-click on any of your added podcasts to see a list of episodes. Select whichever you feel suits your needs or start from the beginning to get the whole picture. Close the app without saving because it will remember where you left off. You won't be forced to relisten or waste time finding the right spot to continue your listening session.

Kodkast is an awesome addition for individuals looking to centralize their podcast collections. It's also a great choice if you don't want to be forced to always remember where you left off with your listening session. There is one tiny issue and that is when loading any of the podcasts.

The waiting time seems to vary for each particular podcast. It becomes unresponsive and can even crash when loading episodes. Even though it's not frequent, it is something to keep an eye out for.
