gPodder's still alive and kicking. 'course, it's the type of old-school open source app for which the features which appeal to its existing userbase, like "uses your system's default media player instead of a builtin one", are likely to be viewed as anti-features by newcomers. but yeah, gnome and kde both have their official podcatchers ("Podcasts" and "Kasts" respectively), and there's a bazillion floating around on Github; i'm sure some of them are distributed to fdroid or wherever. if you don't care about syncing between devices, getting notifications for new episodes, etc, and aren't opinionated about the UI, anything you find with a non-zero install base should do the job. otherwise you just gotta try em out and decide for yourself.
