I spend a big part of my life with my iPhone headset on. For the last six months or so most of that time has not been about listening to music, it’s been about podcasts.

My podcast craze started last summer when I discovered Boagworld.com, just as it took a break from regular production. The addiction was furthered as 5by5.tv came into my life. I could write a whole post about why Boagworld and various 5by5-shows are awesome, but I won’t. Not now anyway.

In the beginning of my podcast listening i was perfectly happy with the podcast feature in iTunes. When I browsed through Boagworld’s extensive back catalogue it was easy to just download huge chunks of episodes on my Mac and sync it to the iPhone. However as I started listening to more and more new podcasts the tethering of the iPhone to the computer started to feel more and more annoying. Enter Podcaster for iPhone.

Everything that iTunes does, Podcaster does better. It also does a whole lot of stuff that iTunes doesn’t, primarily keeping good track of my subscriptions, let’s me chose whether I wan’t to limit my downloads to WiFi connections only or not (regardless of file size) etc. It also keeps a handy archive of podcasts to browse through. (Yes, off course you can add any podcast to your list simply by entering the RSS-feed URL of the podcast.) And it also gives you push notifications whenever a podcast you’re subscribing to has been updated (highly customizable).

Do you listen to podcasts and own an iPhone? Then it’s a no-brainer in my book. Visit Podcaster.fm or head straight to the App Store and buy Podcaster!
