Add better UI for adding podcasts

@ollicle @cilice

This is a place to discuss the "add podcast" UI enhancement that you talked about in #1.

hehe I wanted to assign you both but only one can be assigned :)

A thought for editing podcasts – click the My podcasts button to toggle:

Clearly doesn’t address the immediate need for adding podcasts.

Thinking about that I reckon a nice UI for adding a podcast:

1. A single field for entering the iTunes podcast url. (perhaps some instruction on how to find it)
2. From the url the id can be extracted with simple regex.
3. Pull the feed for the corresponding podcast
4. Display an appropriate error if it fails
5. If successful populate a podcast name field and id field with data from the feed
6. Name field may be customised

Although the above makes me wonder if there is any benefit for exposing the id field for editing?

Idea for adding podcasts:

have an option in the podcast dropdown that says "add new podcast", when you chose that it triggers a dialog that expects the URL or name and ID and then adds the podcast to the dropdown

OR

we use the new ui that ollie did and have the side slide down and reveal the form to add the podcast.

I can just show a special element that asks to enter the first podcast when there is none entered yet. It's easy to do.

Progress thinking along the lines of there is no need to edit a podcast once it is added:

For adding a podcast the next step depends on whether there is a need to customise the title before it is added?

I think the mockup is going in a good direction, what do you think @cilice?

We also need a new review list view with the artwork + name on top of the list, yes?

Oh, i like this one a lot. I'll try to implement it as soon as i can.
