Hi Ian,

Podcast fetching (downloading and parsing the feed) is done by the
class PodcastReader.
Right now it just creates new Meta::PodcastChannel and
Meta::PodcastEpisode objects and adds them to a PodcastCollection.
Obviously, this should also be able to update an existing
Podcast[Channel|Episode].
PodcastCategory is the UI for podcasts, and all the actions needed for
podcasts should go in here.

Hope this helps.
ping me on irc for more info.
