SUMMARY
Love this app, so thank you for all your work. Just wanted to suggest a few missing features.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. It would be nice to have a system tray app with all the usual functionality, minimize to tray, stop/play/pause, and exit.
2. It would also be nice to have the normal hoods into KDE's media player, showing the podcast image, stop/play/pause, etc.  
3. Many open source podcasters use gpodder.net's servers/sync. It would be nice to be able to sync with gpodder.net to keep all devices and PC's podcasts in sync.

Thanks for the report.

Concerning 1 and 2: Kasts already supports MPRIS2, so there should already be a "media player" icon in the systray with controls (play, pause, seek, title, album art, etc.).  At least I can confirm that it works in plasma, plasma mobile and phosh, and it should also work in other freedesktop-compliant desktop environments (e.g. gnome).
Of course, this doesn't yet cover minimize to tray...

Concerning 3: I'm working on it. :)
