Many thanks, Scott.
Impatient as ever, before seeing your message I had searched through 
backups from the old system, found some screen dumps, found the name and 
bought it online.  The package is published by "Fluendo S.A." - Spanish 
as it turns out.

The Fluendo commercial package plays the podcasts but doesn't offer any 
opportunity to download them (which I've found is often the Windows 
default but probably depends upon the way the URL is built).  I'm not 
concerned - it was terrific to find that Rhythmbox provides all that 
capability and already I've caught up with some (science radio) download 
backlog.

Greatly appreciate your help.
