I still see this deck has a lot of potential and I am wondering if you made any changes to your list for the last month.
I personally dont like counterspells too much and I would play creatures instead but some of them are fine. I also love EtB creatures and they are especially good for Pod deck.
I give you a list of creatures that are not in your list and can fit into this deck more or less - depends if it is control version or aggro version of your Pod deck:

Viridian Emissary - I think he is just great for this deck and he is good with Pod
Wall of Blossoms - only if you play control version of this deck
Goblin War Marshal – probably better in control version, stops the initial pressure and gives you some time to evolve
Regrowth – only in control version, usually I dont like this kind of cards cause they are random but when you focus more on finding Pod and keeping Pod in the game, this can help and you have other very good targets for it anyway
Fire Imp - not such a good beater but helps a lot and you might find him with Pod from time to time
Troll Ascetic - I play Pod myself and I quite often go like - sac 2 cc creature find this one (opponent cant kill it so easily), then sac this and find Thrun ... you know, what I mean?
Yavimaya Dryad - just an idea, works for my RG version and can be even better in 3 color deck but she has not such a good damage potential; here is important to say that dryad is there only for having 2 power, all the creatures like Wood Elves are just bad
Fabricate – If I played Pod with blue I would play this card since i usually play more creatures but i agree that sometimes you dont want tutor and you want something else
Obsidian Baloth - this guy is terribly great especially when you play Pod for optional cc and he is quite a body
Solemn Simulacrum - if you play Tezzeret he is even better and you play 3 colors, I dont play blue and dont have third color and he is very helpfull
Chandra, the Firebrand – worth of trying, works very well for me
Deranged Hermit – probably not that special for you but I like him when I get swarmed by little weenie suckers, he is still an adept in my deck to put out, he is also the target for my Zenith for 5 – he is usually better than Acidic Slime
Primal Command – just an idea, either you like this card or not
Siege-Gang Commander – already mentioned, I think he is better than Arc Slogger, especially in the deck that has tutor engine
Tezzeret – I would really play him
Mulldrifter – better in control version probably
Wurmcoil Engine – just an idea
