+As we [re-discover][rss] the value of Atom/RSS feeds, most useful feed clients I
+know of don't support media, specifically audio and video.
+
+[gPodder][gpodder] does.
+
+It is mostly know as a desktop podcatcher. But the thing about podcasts is that
+the feed is provided through an RSS/Atom feed. So you can just use gPodder as
+your media feed client, where you have control of what you look at.
+
+I audio and video providers I know of offer an RSS/Atom view of their content,
+so you can, say, treat any YouTube channel like a feed on its own.
+
+gPodder will then managed your feeds, watched/unwatched, queue downloads, etc.
+
+Being obvious now, it was a big finding for me. If it got you interested, I
+recommend you giving gPodder a try.
