If you are the type of user who likes listening to podcasts while working on his Mac, then you surely know by now that iTunes’ build-in Podcast player is quite competent  at doing its job but isn’t what you would call easy accessible and nor is it fast, for that matter.

With an interesting alternative comes Menucast, a lightweight and user-friendly OS X application that brings your favorite podcasts right in OS X’s menu bar.

In a few words, Menucast enables you to explore and discover both video and audio free podcasts on a large variety of topics, to subscribe to your favorite podcasts, and to search the iTunes podcasts database for popular entries in the Top Charts.

Working with Menucast is exactly as you would expect from an OS X menulet: click its item once and you will be greeted by a very compact interface that displays all your podcasts and makes it possible for you to add, remove and search for podcasts.

Click on any podcast or podcast episode and the simplistic interface makes way for a secondary podcast player interface. You get play, pause, skip forward and skip backward buttons, a playback speed adjuster, and a five-second loop-forward button.

As far as customizability is concerned, click on the sprocket shaped button on the top right corner and you can easily adjust the volume and the app’s Preferences menu, where you will be provided with a surprising amount of options.

Taking all things into consideration, Menucast proved itself to be a streamlined and unobtrusive app that makes it possible for you to listen and subscribe to your favorite podcasts a lot easier and faster than it’s possible with iTunes.
