rhythmbox seems to work with a few quirks.

On that webpage above, there is an orange box that says POD. Next to 
that is a URL. Copy that URL. Open rhythmbox and select New Podcast 
Feed. Paste the URL in there and click Add.

Then click on Podcasts in the Left Pane and you should see all your 
feeds. From there you can right-click on Feeds and/or individual 
episodes and download them. Automatic downloading seems a bit flaky so 
sometimes I have to force a download but it eventually works.

This assumes you've already set up rhythmbox to play mp3 files.
