Doesn't gpodder already do this, more or less? Every episode has a description 
associated with it, and if you place your mouse over the episode, a text box 
comes up with the total description. I guess that the descriptions are 
currently not searchable, though.

I don't know whether it would be worthwhile. First of all, you're at the mercy 
of whoever provides the podcast and its associated description. For instance, 
some channels may simply have 'Program XYZ, episode for this-and-that date', so 
even a search function does not improve your life as far as content is 
concerned. Then again, if you want to implement a search function (or can find 
someone to do it for you), I'd say: 'why not?' :-)). Beware of double work, 
though - most podcasts come from websites which commonly feature a searchable 
archive :-)).
