    I’ve been quite happy with antennapod. Discovery is kind of a pain in the ass, but it’s open source, and management and playback have been solid.

      I second all of this. I started using AntennaPod a couple months ago and like it. It handles “chapters” in podcasts better, too. Searching is fiddly though.

      PocketCast is also OpenSource. Today I switched over and it’s also pretty good.

      I honestly can’t really decide which one I find better. Try them out for yourself.

          I for example subscribed to Darknet Diaries on Patreon and the bonus episodes do work.

          I don’t listen to more premium podcasts. I just hate that you can’t manually update the URL so far.

          Also the “time listed” stats on AntennaPod are way superior, but PocketCats syncs between devices and has a web/desktop client.

            yea, they did get patreon exclusive feeds working, but any other don’t.

            I just don’t like that everything has to go through them.

            used to be a big pocketcasts fan, but I dislike being completely dependent on their servers.
