I experimented around using an old iPod for podcasts, but the one thing I like about this modern world and that I missed during such experiments is the easiness of inter-device synchronization. There exists several solutions on Linux that will sync podcasts to an iPod as well as sync some data through gPodder.net. However unfortunately not many other outside this ecosystem can use this service for synchronization (even some of the more modern Linux apps don't!). If at least Overcast were to support gPodder at some point, that would fix it all for me.
