Been waiting for a podcast app for a while now, looks promising!
Please keep us updated on the progress. This is exactly what I'm looking for and I'm sure other folks are as well.
What Kodi skin is that?
What launcher are you using on you shield? Looks exactly like what I've been looking for. Minimal and customizable.
I'm the developer for this application. It's very very early on. Someone had asked about a native podcast player and I wanted to share that I was working on this. I was inspired to start on this after I wanted to listen to "Undisclosed" and realized that there was no (good) native Android TV podcast player available. Basically I was building this for myself, but will probably end up releasing it in the next few weeks, depending on how much time I have to work on it.
Please don't be too critical, as I don't release a lot of my software publicly anymore. I am happy to receive any feedback, that is actual feedback. Just saying "meh" and things like that aren't helpful and are part of the reason I don't release much anymore.

If you have feature requests or additional comments, I would love to hear them.
Update
I updated the "Now Playing"/Details page since the video was published. It's less ugly now, but still only about 40% complete. It needs a lot more polish + nice animation stuff I'm working on, but it gives you an idea of where it's going.

Update 2
I updated the application a bit over the last few days. Here's a very brief recording of the emulator running the latest. There is no audio, since Android Studio doesn't allow you to record audio and video, only video.
