In case you aren't really asking what the title says, but instead want to know how you can listen to the Pokercast on an Android device, here's how I do it:
Open the episode's dedicated thread your device's web browser or (as I do it) using the 2+2 app or whatever that new app is that the forum is now supporting. In each show's thread there is a link after "Direct Download." Click on that link. Find the downloaded file through the audio file player you intend to use. On my device I use the default music player and there is a folder called "Download" where the Pokercast files appear. You can also look for it by hunting through the "My Files" folder browser, and click on the file which will cause your default music player to launch and play it.
There's some way to add it as an RSS feed, I think, but this works for me so I never bothered.

I have an Android phone (LG Optimus G) and to download the show, I just "rightclick" (hold down to get the same options you'd get if you rightclicked on PC) the "direct download" link in the weekly show thread (or take the direct link from the RSS feed if the weekly show thread isn't posted yet), "save as", and it downloads right to my music folder.

Use AntennaPod with gpodder.net to find the podcasts to download. Oddly, the pokercast isn't really sorted in order in its queue. Not sure if that is some artifact of how it is sorted at the source, but most podcasts are set up with newest on top.
Still, it looks like lots of ways to get your weekly dose of the Pokercast Gang.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5, and I have recently started using podcast addict, seems fairly decent.

I use an app called BeyondPod to listen to podcasts. New episodes appear automatically and I can choose to download or stream them.

I'm using Beyond Pod as well. Fairly straight forward use for free. The PRO version has some features that I don't need (read I'm too cheap to buy it).

I use Doggcatcher which picks up most of the Podcasts I'd like to listen to. It's a paid for app but it has loads of features. I usually pick and listen to the show up a couple of hours after it's produced.

iTunes, then the app iSyncr does the rest for Android

Did anyone else have an issue with PodCast Addict this week? I've been refreshing since last Thursday and only today did it show episode 348 as available for download.
