The QML touch ui for gPodder (https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder-ui-qml) seems to work very well already.

I plan to package it for Plasma Mobile in the near future :)
If there is interest in developing a Kirigami ui for it that suits the design of Plasma Mobile better, I'd like to help.

A weird idea was to fork VVave (https://invent.kde.org/kde/vvave), the music player, and add functionality to save playback progress to get a simple audio book and podcast player (not a subscriber and downloader) without too many extra efforts.
