Re: [orca-list] Orca and Podcast Streaming

[Robert cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

I just did some searching and found the Listen Music player. This seems 
to read out the titles of podcasts, and it seems to be pretty 
accessible, although I hav eonly spent about fifteen minutes or so with 
it. To get this player in Ubuntu, just install the listen package using 
apt-get. Running the command 'listen' will open the player.

I am going to also give gpodder a try as well, as it seems to be a 
standalone podcast application.
