Google Listen Update Manages Podcast Subscriptions from Reader [Updates]: "
Android: Google's Listen was already a pretty handy podcast client, except that managing your feeds was a pain. With its latest release, Listen now lets you manage your subscriptions from Google Reader, and adds voice search for finding new shows.
If you've switched phones, shuffled around SD cards, or otherwise messed with Listen, it used to just up and lose your subscription list, leaving you to manually search out and find your shows again. In Listen's 1.1 update, your shows are backed up to Google's cloud, whether you use Reader or not, so re-populating isn't a problem. As for finding new stuff, Listen added the same kind of voice-to-text search that other Android apps enjoy, so it's easy to just say what you're looking for while (cautiously) driving or otherwise hands free. If you've ever wanted to access your feeds while offline, Listen's made that possible, too.
Google Listen is a free download for Android phones, available in the Market. If you've found a better podcast client on Android, tell us about it in the comments.
