Depending on the availability of a compatible RSS/XML feed of the podcast you are wanting to catch, it may be possible to utilize the included VideoCenter application to snag the content for you. Not every feed out there adheres to the syntax VC is looking for. If you're handy with HTML/XML you could probably tweak your own version of the feed and store it locally to pull in the clips, using VC to look locally for its cue which points to the data on the web. I haven't gotten to that point yet myself due to time constraints, but I've found some 'casts that I want to maintain regularly but can't get VC to interpret them successfully.

includes podcast support. Look here for all the details:

From there, a poor man's method could be to use a PC-based application to d/l the 'cast and save it to your USB-attached tablet's memory card. Many sites update their content daily, so if you schedule your app to check at the appropriate time, you could have new 'casts waiting there every morning. Not very practical, but doable.
