iPodder will do this.

I think it has a cleanup option, however what I do is use a few two scripts
to manage this process manually:-
copy_podcasts.sh - copies podcasts to my mp3 player. Only copies new ones.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -av --stats -progress --modify-window=1 ~/podcasts/ \
/media/IHP100/podcasts/
backup_podcasts.sh - copies podcasts to a server (called hal) for long term
storage. I use ssh-keys for authentication so it doesn't ask for a password
when i run this.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avz -e ssh ~/podcasts \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/media/Audio
delete_podcasts.sh - deletes all podcasts older then 7 days. I use this on
my home directory and when my mp3 player is becoming full I run it there too.
#!/bin/sh
find ./podcasts -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
I know it's not exactly what you were after but it might help someone.
Cheers,
Al.
