That's a good idea. What I was thinking/hoping that this feature would be a 
directory of various podcasts of various topics. This sounds like it will be 
more of a podcasts directory. Sort of how when you expand the Shoutcasts 
streams you get a listing of categories with subcategories, etc. Is there 
such a site that is "Shoutcast-like" but provides a directory of podcasts 
rather than audio streams? If so, this would lift the burden off Amarok and 
the Amarok developers/community to manage a podcast directory.

Just throwing this out there, but would it make sense to have a Amarok 
community driven/managed list of podcasts? Some place where the Amarok 
community can recommend/add a podcast RSS URL. Then Amarok could simply be a 
frontend to this list much in the same way it lists the Shoutcast streams?
