When I first started getting into downloading podcasts, if only WMP could have handled them and synced them with the Windows Mobile devices I used to use, I might have stuck with them. iTunes handles podcasts and library syncing (yes, only with Apple products) well enough that I went with that platform.

I have to agree. I've got a 16GB iPhone and most of the space is filled up with podcasts. Previously I'd had windows mobile phones and I really hated iTunes (still not a big fan of it for music organization) but when I started downloading the pod casts I realized they had the process in the bag.
I'm still surprised that the latest version of WMP doesn't do it.
I listen to more podcasts than music and so a subscription service wouldn't cut it.
