Is there a podcatcher that downloads and stores media to a cloud or to a third party online storage service like dropbox?

I am looking for either a hosted service or an app that can be installed on my server and will download the podcasts I listen to and store them online.

I used to use iTunes to get the podcasts on my computer, but if I was away and my computer was off they wouldn't automatically download, and some podcasts will only let you download the last published podcast so if you miss one you are out of luck. Now I use a podcatcher on my Droid but I'd like to have the podcasts accessible on my PC or my media center without having to manually sync.

If you use Google Listen on your Droid, your subscriptions will sync with Google Reader.

This is all I use now. Google Reader also allows you to popout the media into a new window, so you can continue reading your feeds while listening to your podcast. – Covar Nov 19 '10 at 14:55
Yes, but this has nothing to do with my question. Im looking for a hosted podcatcher that downloads the files to the cloud without the need of a computer. – matt Nov 19 '10 at 20:23
I was providing an alternative, since you mentioned you have a Droid. – Al Everett Nov 19 '10 at 21:54

Take a look at GPodder http://gpodder.org/. It stores information in the cloud (http://gpodder.net/) on which sows you have listened to and lets you install a client on your machine for downloading the content.

That looked promising however it doesn't appear that they actually save the podcast downloads on their servers. Do you use the service? – matt Sep 21 '10 at 1:51
This unfortunately doesn't work. Thanks anyway. – matt Dec 22 '10 at 20:37

We're developing a cloud based podcatcher at https://podcloud.net/. It is still a work in progress and in closed beta, but we're planning on writing mobile apps that can sync with the web site.
