It just so happens that the today's release of version 4.9 of iTunes introduces support for podcasts natively! Sounds awesome, I haven't tried it yet though. Good luck.
There's a new iPod updater, too, if you have one of those.
dt118's idea is probably easier than this, but you could set up a squid proxy at your [friend's] home, and browse through the proxy while at work. All web requests would go through your [friend's] home computer.
This would be faster to use than VNC (unless you have a really fast home connection, VNC will add a lot of overhead) but it's harder to set up.
If you are worried about the VNC security, set up your home firewall to only accept VNC connections from your work IP - most offices have static IPs, so this is easy.

Possibly this precompiled Windows version of Squid will be helpful.
