Overcast - Podcast app by Marco Arment

Typical Marco: "I respect you too much to put up an email solicitation box or fake queue."

It's not enough to have good taste, you have to point out to people what good taste you have, in case they miss it. Which, ironically, is in poor taste.

I'm interested to see what he comes up with. Given their main job, playing podcasts, most existing apps seem good enough. I use Downcast, and generally like it. There are some things I would prefer worked differently, but 10 people might have 10 different sets of minor annoyances, so I wonder if Overcast will be better for me.

The thing is, I'll probably buy it just to see anyway, and so will many others. For Marco, a customer that buys his app to try it out gives him the same (or more) profit as someone who uses it regularly. As long as it's good enough to suit some people best, he'll have a steady stream of people buying it to see if it suits them best.

It will be interesting to see what he will come up with as all of the current podcast apps IMO leave a lot to be desired. Also interesting considering Apple resently released a podcasting app.
