Google Listen was the android app I used to listen to podcasts on my phone. Unfortunately, it synced with Google Reader to track which podcasts you were subscribed to. Yeah, well guess how well it works now…
CLARIFICATION: You can still find the program available in the Play store. But when I tried to update my feeds this morning it completely failed to do so. So, I do guess I’m making some sort of assumption here about it’s death, but in the end it’s dead to me.

Yes. I fear you are correct. My Google Listen stopped working as well. I’m trying to find a good substitue, but most other podcast readers seem to be bloated.
I’ve ended up using Podkicker which seems to do the job and isn’t bloated as far as I can tell.
