Other apps might come and go, but AntennaPod is always by your side!

    Have always been curious about AntennaPod. Was about to switch from PocketCasts earlier this year but turns out PocketCasts became open source a little over a year ago, October 2022.

    Still curious about AntennaPod but PocketCasts has been and continues to work super well and has a web/desktop (PWA) client so may just stick with it. Mobile app repos below btw.

    So people are actually using Google Podcasts? It’s a pretty shit app for the use case.

        Ok, I just revisited it after a few years, and it seems kinda decent now, altho it’s still pretty ugly. Back when I first tried it when it launched, it was as barebones as it could be. Adding new podcasts sucked, it had no trim silence option, no web app etc. Still tho, Pocket Casts is ahead of it even today.

        I never understand why people choose formats meant for local consumption and then use centralized cloud services to consume it. Podcasts aren’t the only example. RSS feed readers and git are others. If you want synchronization across devices, then use either a plain cloud storage or something even better - like syncthing.

    Visit takeout.google.com and select Google Podcasts to export your Google Podcasts data in OPML format.

    I wonder when that became a thing. I migrated at the beginning of the year and had to manually add all subscriptions because Google Podcasts had no way of exporting anything.

    I guess someone made a GDPR complaint.

    I use AntennaPod as it’s the best Foss option but it’s very buggy.

    This has been a great alternative for me so far. Very straightforward and functional.

    Antennapod is good enough and has a widget, but to be honest, it needs to be a lot better.

    They need to implement podcast discovery. Just showing 20 separate podcasts with nothing else is clearly not enough.

    I’ve been listening to Podcasts lately and went straight to Google Podcasts, Love the Platform sad to see it go. Will be looking for another platform that can allow me to listen both on PC as well as Phone, This is sadly not it as doesn’t seem to have a Desktop app / site

      That’s the advantage of solutions like antenna pod. There just isn’t any platform that could be shut down

    I use podverse. Technically, you could use google podcasts like a search engine and just subscribe directly to the podcast’s rss feed.
