I have a bunch of Squeezebox 3 and Duet which despite their age still provide a generally pleasant music streaming experience around the house.

I do not listen to podcasts though them (just not my thing), but the iOS third party iPeng app for controlling the Squeezeboxes over WiFi is quite good. I rarely take the plastic Squeezebox remote out of the drawer.
