I was really curious to know the answer to this one.

I tried a little bit of search on the forum but there was not a question like this (although I may be wrong, and if I am, please direct me to the correct one)

So, if you have any good podcast clients that you know, please tell me.

Even if you know some blog post or video, it would be helpful as well.

You can try VLC if you want a good Podcast Audio/Video player.

VLC has a podcast parser plugin.

VLC can play podcast videos without having to download them before (like gPodder).

Go into playlist mode by pressing Ctrl+L, there you will see the following screen

VLC Podcast plugin

Click on the plus sign to add your podcast URL.

Akregator for KDE is a good choice as well for it is dedicated to Feeds and can also play videos (without having to download them).
