Sounds like a good suggestion, JT. The "most subscribed" sort isn't exactly what you're asking for, but it might be of interest to you. Also, I'd recommend trying the "date added" sort.
One way to find good podcasts of interest that you might not know about with the current Zune software (v2.5x) is to navigate inside the marketplace to the podcast categories of interest to you and switch between "date added" and "most subscribed."
To do this in the Zune software:
1. Click "marketplace"
2. Click "podcasts"
3. Choose one of the following top level categories along the left:
arts, business, education, entertainment, health, international, lifestyle, mediacasts, music, news&politics, religion&spirituality, science&technology, sports, travel
By default the choice is "view all" -- but you can drill down further to the subcategory of your choice.
4. Choose "Date added" to sort by date added and see the most recently added podcasts in this category (or subcategory if you choose that). If you want to see the list sorted by "title" or "most subscribed" just choose those.
Happy podcast listening to you!
