I've cleaned up the mokoui-based testing release (with lots of other improvements from the git version that make gPodder faster and not so freezing) and put together a .deb file for the fearless to try:

Some remarks:

• The version number is chosen so that the app manager will see the current release (0.14.0-2) as newer, so that you can always go back to the latest "official" release by "upgrading" via the app manager to the stable version in Maemo Extras
• Toolbar is always visible (because of the "Update feeds" button)
• Only one episode can be selected at a time now
• Swiping is disabled by default, enable with "maemo_enable_gestures" in the advanced preferences
• The main menu is now also finger-friendly, baby!
• Episode descriptions are disabled in the main view for performance reasons
