@neilco when I was doing helpdesk/TAC, 90% of my job was figuring out what the actual problem was. They would describe it as X but the real problem is Y. Sometimes it's a simple terminology issue, sometimes it's trying to sort out the various symptoms…
@matigo that is also a great feature, which Castro has and I've used several times.

@streakmachine I was using Podcasts.app for a while and it has gotten substantially better over the years. The way it handles the playlist is somewhat problematic, which is why I ended up switching.
Castro is the only one that gets it close to right. Only one playlist and new episodes of a podcast either go "top or bottom" of the playlist. Their "inbox" also allows me to decide if I want to listen to particular episodes of a podcast before downloading.
@matigo that's always my concern with apps that require a server component is that the server, while getting cheaper, still isn't free.
@matigo Currently using Castro, which seems to work pretty well. My failsafe is iCatcher (which doesn't use a backend server at all).
@matigo when he couldn't be arsed to fix a problem I reported to him months ago downloading my podcast, I decided his software wasn't worth using.
@matigo they could be using someone else's stuff now. Or they could be flying blind. :P
