Which client do you use to subscribe and listen to podcasts? I am a fan of BeyondPod which has a great automatic sorting feature, but dev seems stalled. Thanks!

AntennaPod serves me well
- mikece 4y ago
  I really want to rely solely on Podverse on Android but I end up using AntennaPod because of the feature to use a local folder as a pseudo podcast feed. That combined with NewPipe's ability to pull down just the audio track from a YouTube video means that for content published to YouTube where the video provides nothing of value I can pull that down directly into a podcast client and listen as though the content were published as a podcast (like it should have been in the first place). If Podverse has this ability I don't know about it... I should ping Mitch and find out/put in a feature request!

There's an app on iOS called 'Sodes which is pretty good. Its the first one I found while browsing that supports 2x playback and actually lets you add podcasts by RSS feed rather than being limited to their curated list of podcasts.

My two favorites are Podverse (iOS + Android) and AntennaPod (Android only), both free + open source.

I've been using Overcast (iOS) since it launched. Marco has done a lot of work with his Smart Speed and Voice Boost features over the years and they're a core part of what keeps me using the app.

I like Podcast Addict. It seems to have the most features on Android.

  I'll second Podcast Addict. I've tried just about every podcast app under the sun and nothing comes close.

Pocket Cast Started using it when other tools didn't have all the features that I need. I settled down and never compared tools any more. My only problem with it is that some podcasts take a little to appear in its platform and nobody makes links for it. I'd like a single source of all podcasts.

Just the normal Podcasts app on iOS. It was good and then they broke it and it sucked but they've made it usable again… though the UI is still a confusing mess. I don't think anyone who develops that app at Apple is dogfooding it, at least not anyone in charge of its UI. I've considered trying others now and then, but since they usually came down to paying a fee to find and resubscribe to all of the podcasts I'm already subscribed to, I could never get over the hump and switch to one full time.
