My iPod died. I've a ton of podcasts on my iTunes, and no way to listen to them. Is there a way to get podcasts onto my android phone? I'd even be willing to use a non-iTunes interface to download new podcasts, if even such a thing exists

I searched "podcasts without iTunes" and here's the top result. It might be the droid you're looking for ;-)

apple gives 5 free gigs of storage via iCloud, and if I'm not mistaken any iTunes download doesn't count against the 5 free gigs.
If you can get the podcast onto iCloud maybe you can get it synched to an android powered device somehow. I'm not really an android expert though so you'd need someone else's help for that part.

I found a program, but it's notably worse than the iPod. I've yet to figure out how to use my laptop to download apps and then transfer them to this device, and surfing the marketplace via phone really sucks.
Seems that access to wireless is required to use this thing. Urg.

I don't like WinAmp at all, looks like you'll need to shell out a few dollars for proper syncing with either DoubleTwist or iSyncr.

If you are logged into chrome - or Gmail - you can go to the Play store, select an app, and it will be transmitted to your phone automatically when your phone has a data connection.
I think I have used a USB data connection to transfer apps before, but that was a couple of years ago on a rooted device. I don't remember if there were special tricks or not - and I could be misremembering.
You might also search threads on the XDADevelopers forums. If someone has done something with android, they've talked about it there.
Oh, I read "podcasts" instead of "apps" there.
You just need to be signed into a Google account to access the play store, it's unrelated to gmail. (Other than needing to be signed into a Google account to access gmail too.)
Getting apps on an Android device should be pretty simple, you can do through the cloud with the play store or just copy the *.apk files from whatever source by whatever method you want. Play Store is probably easier and gets you updates, main use of apk files is piracy or apps that Google has banned. (adblock)
I've never found browsing the marketplace on Android to be particularly burdensome (assuming v4.0+, otherwise any action is burdensome), and it's not like it's a particularly regular activity once you're set up with the apps you use.
