Podcast downloader?

I had my share of the Google fun, but "Linux podcast" doesn't exactly translate to a search for software programs.

What's a good daemon-ish tool that I can use to download audio and video podcasts? I just want an RSS reader that downloads the content into a specific directory automatically when RSS feed updates. Some configuration would be nice.

# pacman -Ss podcast
community/gpodder 0.17.0-1
    A podcast reciever/catcher
community/newsbeuter 2.0-2
    A RSS feed reader for the text console with special Podcast support.

Also, searching "podcast" on AUR gives some good results (podget looks more like what you want I think)
