There are 2 methods for Podcast catching on Axim:

1-Use a standalone RSS aggregator on your WM devices (e.g. Newsbreak, FeederReader, etc.). I think this works well especially on a Mobile Phone device w/ED-VO or when you are on WiFi frequently w/o a PC/Laptop

2-Use a RSS aggregator (e.g. iTunes, Juice, etc.) on your PC then use an utility such MobSync to sync the Podcasts to your WM device storage card over ActiveSync. This is my method of choice. Mobsync launches automatically when ActiveSync starts and constantly monitor for bi-directional synchronization

As far as players. My preferences:

1-Mortpalyer: for the auto playlist creation and the auto sorted with the latest on top. (in addition to an awsome skin engine...) - This only works w/Audio podcast

2-TCPMP/BetaPlayer: can be used for both audio/video, especially for Video podcast. You'd need to dig some additional plug-ins (AAC, AVC-H.624)

Both of these players support album art, if the audio podcast does not have a picture embedded, you might want to create a jpg logo and save it as Folder.jpg and store in the same directory. This will display the logo when playing.

You can find all the links to the utilities I mentioned above here!
