= gPodder as a media subscription manager

As we {re-discover}[re-discover] 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.
