I use Overcast, but I assume Pocketcast has the same or similar features. One is server side crawl, so your phone doesn't have to go update its RSS feeds itself. I can get a push notification when a new episode is released. Another great feature is smart speed, it trims silence in podcasts so you can listen a little bit faster.
