Last time I used it there were no podcast apps that would update/download in the background. That's an entire category.

I am currently using PODCASTER[1]. It downloads new episodes over wifi when I connect the phone to charge.

The reviews suggest the feature doesn't always work. I've experienced the same from other clients.

The built in Podcast app does that.

The built in app only allows podcasts from their catalog.
