On Windows or Mac, I really like how itunes manage my list of Podcast. It can download the latest episode while deleting past ones and collapsing an entire series in its own group. I also like how easy it is to have a customized list of my favourite Internet radio station.

I used Rhythmbox on Ubuntu but it does all the above in a very wonky sometimes hit or miss way. Can anyone recommend a music player on Ubuntu which can do the above perfectly?

gPodder

gPodder: Available in most Linux distributions, FreeBSD, Windows and on Maemo-based devices (e.g. Nokia N800 and N810).

more options at the LinuxAppFinder page.
Update: moved the other reference to a new answer so the popular one floats up.

Good and simple. Launches much faster than Amarok – Nicolas Raoul Aug 30 '10 at 7:56

Amarok has support for internet radio and for downloading/managing podcasts.

Currently using banshee. Not 100% sure about the internet radio list though.

Banshee supports internet radio (at least, the mp3 based stations I use). – salmonmoose Sep 1 '09 at 1:39

CastPodder

CastPodder is technically a Media Aggregator, a program that allows you to select and download audio files from anywhere on the Internet to your desktop. okia N800 and N810).

I think its a bit old, but you will find a lot of options at the LinuxAppFinder page.

It's not quite an app which downloads the podcasts for me but I am now using Google Reader to achieve what I want. If I'm following a podcast on Windows, then move to another OS, I can use my podcast feeds in Google Reader to tell me what the latest episodes are.

Radio Player UK is good for internet radio. You can play podcasts and live radio on it. It is a toolbar for your browser.
