be able to sort podcasts and hide podcats

In the main Podcasts list, I'd like to have all of the podcasts that have unplayed episodes show up at the top of the list, then podcasts with no episodes. This is the way Downcast does it, for example.

When I use the Podcatcher search function to look for something new, the letters I enter are not visible They are hidden by other screen junk and I can't tell if I entered them correctly

The home page doesn't offer multiple view options. Thumbnails, list view, thumbnail with title, would be a great start.

It seems I must select all and then play. Why can't I just play the playlist? Then, if new items are added automatically (as happens for a smart list), they could just go to the end, or sort according to whatever rule. But I would not have to re-select to include them in the play. Thus, I would have a continuously refreshing list - incoming items are automatically queued for play, and played items automatically drop off the list.

Every time I play media in any other app, PC won't play anything until I restart my phone

Search for people/speakers or topics and have individual podcast episodes returned rather than the entire podcast series

I listen both on my iPhone and on an old iPhone that I leave in a dock and use as a media player. It would be useful be able to pick up in one where I left off in the other. As it is, I have to subscribe to a podcast separately on each device and manually go through and find my place/manually mark episodes i've listened to as played.

Is there a way to download a single episode without subscribing to the entire podcast channel? That would be nice.

There is a search bar for finding new podcasts to subscribe to, but there is no way to search the name of an episode of a podcast that you've already subscribed to. It would be handy for when there are a lot of episodes that you don't want to scroll through to find the exact one.

Allow to bookmark locations in a podcast episode while playing. This way I can revisit it later and listen just a small snippet.

I have ~50 subscriptions and now he runs really slowwww...Nearly unusable. On a 3GS

Sort podcasts by name.

I would love to be able to just sync podcasts to the player like you used to be able to in default Music app. I don't like to stream because it seems that the stream is always choppy, and internet connections can be unreliable.
