Odeo

Odeo consists of three major parts: A catalog of all types of audio content, which is constantly updated; the Odeo Syncr, which lets you download anything from the catalog (and, optionally, put it on your MP3 player); and creation tools that include the Odeo Studio so you can publish your own audio content, which appears in the catalog (The creation tools aren't available yet.).
Odeo has a directory of podcasts with a description of the channel description and its metadata. The site is folksonomy-enabled and it uses tags to classify content. In the future, it will offer web services api for parts of the site including the flash podcast player, the studio, syncr client and for integration with the phone system.
