Google Listen 1.1 for Android syncs podcast subscriptions with Google Reader
Google has released an updated version of podcast manager Google Listen for Android. Like the previous version, Google Listen 1.1 lets you find and subscribe to podcasts from your handset. But the new version also lets you save your subscription data to the cloud using Google Reader, which makes it easy to synchronize your podcast subscriptions across devices and make sure nothing happens to your subscription data if you switch phones, SD cards, or other settings.
There's also a new queue screen with a refresh button for showing new episodes. There are a number of other tweaks and updates including a feed screen that's no longer limited in size.
Update: I've discovered one of the down sides of synchronizing your podcast list with Google Reader. If, like me, you like to keep your Reader inbox at zero, you'll effectively wipe out your queue of podcasts on your device that you haven't yet listened to.

Cool, seems to be nicer than ACast (been using that for a while)... where's the web page to manage this? One of the things I've really liked about google and android is I can generally manage my contacts, etc via the website... (copy/paste in browser is way easier than on the phone).

I really wish this had the ability to parse iTunes itpc:// links. I'm a big fan of all the Juno Download podcast mixes, but I can't use them with Listen/Reader. Otherwise, it's good stuff.
