Some suggestions:
Otherwise, looks very nice and simple. Good work!
I'll be writing bug reports later if these ideas makes sense to you.
- Pressing the "Subscribe" button should have an option to add from a URL. I know it's in the menu of the main screen, but if the user see "Subscribe - Add new podcasts" I would say the user hopes to do it from an URL too.
- The entry in the dialog to add a podcast from URL shouldn't be uppercase. Generally you want to write something starting with http.
- It would be great a menu to mark multiple episodes as new (and even an option to mark a complete podcast).
When you add a new podcast, Gpodder only marks the last as new, but frequently you haven't listened more episodes, and an easy way to mark them as new without having to go episode by episode would be good.
Also in this line, the same option to mark multiple episiodes as old.

Looks great and works ok.
I tried the youtube channel feature and no issues to report after this quick test.
I would like to see a "play" icon somewhere instead of having to hit the menu...(took me a while to figure it out actually).

Sweet, I love the new interface
Some ideas that came from quik testing:
Some ideas that came from quik testing:
- Automatically download and keep the latest episode of each podcast. Maybe the "Download" button should be "Update" and should do just that..?
- Automatically delete all older listened-to episodes. Maybe add a "keep" -toggle button on episode view to keep specific one for later
- Play (and maybe that "keep") actions could be in a toolbar in episode view..? The menu is a bit cumbersome for such often used function.

)Nice work, thanks! I know I said I don't listen to Podcasts (and this still holds true, currently) but after looking at gPodder 2.0; I must re-evaluate that opinion.

Just a quick update: gPodder 2.0 has landed in Maemo Extras Your feedback and features requests will be considered for future releases, some if the changes and ideas have already made their way into the Git repository. Thanks again for testing and giving feedback and please continue reporting bugs at the Maemo bug tracker.

You can read about some of the changes to the UI.
If you upgrade from an older version of gPodder, it's best to start afresh by removing the gpodder.conf file in $HOME (in the X Terminal, type: rm ~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf), so it gets re-initialized with sane default values on the next start. Before the next start, you should move your downloads folder to MyDocs/Podcasts (if your downloads are in /home/user/gPodder-Downloads, type in X Terminal: mv ~/gPodder-Downloads ~/MyDocs/Podcasts).
If you don't care about your old subscriptions, downloads and settings, you can use the command "gpodder-backup --purge" to remove all downloads and settings (be careful!
After that, you should be good to go. Some of the new features you should try out and tell me if they work on the device:
