I use Rhythmbox for my podcasts. Just copy and paste the 'feed URL' :
e.g. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/analysis/rss.xml

For iPlayer I use a handy script called get_iplayer.

And if you're running Ubuntu Intrepid, there's a built in script in
totem, which I believe includes content such as the podcasts:
