Hi zookia: Sorry about that, I made a bad assumption that because you
posted the URL you were one of the authors. I believe I sent the post
to the speakup list so it should still be seen by the correct
people. Well, hopefully, anyway.

Hi there,

I just want to clarify that I'm not involved in this project, I just
posted the link. Could you forward this feedback to the authors/creators?
I'm sure they'd be very happy to hear it!

Jookia.

Hey zookia and Larry: I am quite impressed with the potential of this
package. It definitely has some quirks and doesn't behave as I sort of
expected but it is a really nice start. I've been looking around for
something very easy my wife can use for listening to podcasts with and
this could be the solution. It's nicest feature is having the search
mechanism built in because almost all other podcast fetchers I've
found expects a person to just add an rss feed already found someplace
else.

Thank you for doing this project.

I second what John said.

Moreover I would try only a new software if/when the source is publicly
available and I can build/compile it myself.

Cheers,

Since I use gentoo, a .deb would not do me much good.  Can I compile
your app somehow?  Also, how do I search for a particular podcast in
your client and do you have a facility where I can use a username and
password if the feed requires it?

Thanks, sounds interesting.

Hi All: I have been waiting a long time to offer a newer much
more intuative podcast client for those of us who like
menus-and-simplicity. I am and will be announcing here-and-in the
Blinux list, but since this works especially well in Speakup,
this list will enjoy it first.
DESCRIPTION
       Welcome to Pod-kast 0.8.0 written by Marc Lytle and
conceived by myself, Chime Hart.

       Over  many  years almost all podcast clients seemed to be
lacking an interface which made sense, as well as features I was
hoping for.  The only one I understood was hpodder, but it is no
longer available.  In Pod-kast, since I
       am totally blind and listen with Speakup, a Linux
screen-reader, we took great care to make all functions really
obvious by having numbered menus and yes having the word "number"
before each digit removing any ambiguity.
Back again live, while you may be able to grab from a github
page, which seems really messy in L Y N X an easier option would
be a direct url from my web-site, but not linked from my site.

This is beta software-and-there still may be inconsistancies in
the man-page. Rather than clutterup the list, if you have
opperational issues, please write myself directly, or write an
author Marc at an address listed in the man-page. I `sincerely
hope all of you enjoy-and-find alot of success with this new
client, which I named with an alternative spelling, as there are
several podcast clients with the regular spelling.
Thanks so much in advance
Chime
