Cool! Good show I am checking out Gigavox

I have to say, after listening to you description of the possibilities available to you by use of Gigavox, as a listener, I am completely terrified by the prospect of you, or any podcaster using some of its capabilities.
I download shows from about 20 podcasters. So I get an average of 50 MP3 files a week. However, on occasion, one of the podcasters modifies a show, or bunch of shows, maybe cleans them up, or does something to it that causes my aggregator to see it as a new posting. All of the sudden I can get a big backlog of shows from one source, almost all of which I have already heard.
I fear that if you did something like go back into all your old shows and change the advertising, I would connect and get flooded with Jesus Geek shows. Now, I love you John, but with as many podcasts as I listen to, I don’t have time to listen to shows over and over and over each time you update them.
Please be aware that this could potentially be an issue as you review and check out this software.

Tim,
I listen to a number of podcasts that use GVAL and neither Juice nor iTunes downloads a file once it’s been changed. It’s marked as downloaded and stays that way.
That being said, Juice is known to download old episodes again for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I’ve had this happen on a couple of podcasts. I don’t know what, if anything, changed (perhaps the location of the file in the RSS feed) to cause this. I’ve seen similar reports from other users of Juice.
The RSS feed and filename are not changed when the file is updated so your aggregator should not download a modified file.
That being said, I will keep my eyes open for a monkey business. Please let me know what kind of results you get.

Hmm.. Juice you say? Yeah. OK. That just may be my problem then.
I dont iTunes AT ALL - and neither want nor need anything that can use iTunes. That being said, what do you recommend for podcatcher software? Juice is all I have ever used and its simple, like me, so I have not even looked at another. You got any suggestions?
