With Google podcast dying I’m looking for a replacement.

I’d like to unchain myself from the corpos if I can too. So I’m not interested in another pod catcher that’ll just try to monetize me.

Are there are self hosted rss readers with push? That seems like a great solution for pods and just about anything else I might want to keep up with.

    Not sure if it meets your needs but I’ve been using Audiobookshelf for pulling podcasts. The default web interface is simple and straightforward and you can create secondary rss feeds if you have another podcast app you prefer. Has apps for iOS and android, though the iOS app is TestFlight. As a podcast player it’s decent. Not sure if it does notifications, I tend to disable them.

    I started using it because one of the podcasts I listened to ended and I wasn’t able to go back and relisten to the episodes. Decided to start archiving the podcasts I was interested in.
