-I definitely like the podcast directory idea.  

-It would also be nice to have built-in bookmarking to resume where you
last left off.

-Video Podcast support would be nice as well; NOT playing video in
AmaroK, but being able to launch Kaffeine or something for the Video
podcasts (without using a script).  For some reason I had some issues
with this in the past.
