This might be the perfect podcast app. No ads, clean interface, playlists, auto-downloads, extensive database of podcast sources. No annoying pop-up ads that you have to flick away. This could be the holy grail of podcast apps. Download it TODAY! DO IT! DO IT!

This podcast app keeps it simple. Access to a vast range of podcasts from all sources, your library of subscribed shows is easy to see, search and the playlist allows you to line up episodes in any order, which I love before a drive as I like to listen to a bit of comedy after a work based documentary. Edit: The playlist is no longer working!
