I'm certain you have said it before, but can you point me toward where/what app you use to listen to podcasts these days? I lost the app I was using (apparently it is no longer supported? or something) and I want to get back into listening to them now that NaClYoHo is giving me greats recs
Oh sure! I use PodcastAddict -- though I caveat that it's only available for Android. (Honestly if you have iOS, the last time I checked the native podcatcher was one of their better apps and is very similar to Addict, so if you don't like the iOS catcher you probably wouldn't like Addict anyway. I just hated Android's native catcher, which lacked features I wanted.)
There's a free version with ads -- it's not pop-over ads, just a little banner at the bottom -- but you can also make a one-time payment to get the ads removed. There's also a $10/yr "premium" subscription that removes the ads and gives you access to some small but convenient extra features. The subscription also helps support its ongoing existence, since it's run by like one dude and needs his full-time attention.
My absolute favorite feature, which I believe is available across versions, is that you can enter a feed for a paid podcast and subscribe to it -- so like, I support a handful of podcasts through Patreon, and I can enter the Patreon "paid" feeds for those and get the paid bonus episodes sent straight to the catcher, thus avoiding Patreon's heinously bad podcast interface.
It's the #1 podcatcher on the Google Play store, and just a great example of an app that was built to do a specific thing, does it well, doesn't change unless it's to upgrade something, and offers extremely reasonable levels of access. I think in all the time I've had it, the interface hasn't significantly changed even once, which I treasure in an app.
