Lightbulb Podcast Client Suggestions

I am hoping that someone can suggest a good podcast client that works with Windows Mobile PPC. Here is my current setup:

I have iTunes configured to run on my desktop PC and download new episodes of subscribed podcasts. I then tell Windows Media Player to scan for those downloaded files and add them to the library. I have an auto-playlist called "podcasts" in WMP that includes the podcasts and is configured to sync them with my PPC.

Here is the problem: Since I travel frequently, I am not at home to sync when new episodes are released. I would like to find some way to make my WMP Mobile sync and download through the EVDO instead of being tethered to the PC.

I have tried mobile RSS readers such as Doppler, FeederReader, and SmartRSS. These download the enclosures but do not add them to my WMP Playlist or the library automatically. This forces me to manually scan the device for the new files. This is a pain to do while driving.

For example, I subscribe to a CNN News podcast. Instead of having a newscast that is 3 days old, I would like for a RSS reader to run in the background and download the most recent version and add it to my playlist.

FeederReader had a similar option called driving mode which was nice but it wasn't as easy to operate as WMP. It did require tapping the screen and going several levels into the directory tree to select the files. Essentially, it would be nice if WMP Mobile could update my "podcast" playlist with new content as it is released without forcing me to go home and sync with a desktop computer. Is this possible?
