  For all the talk about iOS...I hate Apple, but unfortunately can't afford a new phone right now. So I'll be downloading it too :P

  I have been looking at the feasibility of an Android version.  I have found an Open Source Podcast Manager which looks like it would be a good starting point.  It supports both streaming and downloads.  The app is called AntennaPod and can be found at the link below:
  
  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.danoeh.antennapod
  
  The page links to source.  Today, after a bit of work I've managed to build the app and got running on my device.  I'll keep having a play with the code.
  
  Interestingly the guy who owns project appears to take bitcoin donations so he may be interested in getting involved in this project.

  Sorry if this is a silly question, but I just got here. Does this new app mean the RSS feed is going away? I use a podcatcher to listen to all of the LTB shows, as well as the other podcasts I enjoy. Having to have one app for LTB, and another app for every other podcast, would kind of irritate me. LTB is valuable enough I would probably keep listening, but I would be annoyed. So: will it be possible to keep the RSS feed for those of us who want it?

  Yes, all the app will do is simplify the process and make it so you can switch show/blog feeds on and off.  Mostly this is a strategy to make it incredibly easy for new listeners who don't normally listen to podcasts at all (only 14% of the internet audience listens to audio, compared to like 70%+ for video).
  So if you like your podcast plan, you can keep your podcast plan!

  Very cool.  Could you elaborate on how the coin would change after the "generosity period"?

  The coin doesn't change at all, I assume at some point we will see people become more concerned with saving the deflationary LTB once the coins aren't so plentiful.

  Not sure how we ended up but definitely think the in app downloads are a must, and a royalty fee would not be fair, outside of the US cell data is pricey and we tend to download at home and listen on the go.
