If it works, kill it.

Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.
I know, I know, using Google apps isn't the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.
Apparently they're moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren't implemented yet.
I've moved over to an app from F-Droid.

I've been using 'Pocket Casts' on Android for years. Highly recommend it.
-
They finally open sourced the app, but for some reason, they can't figure out how to submit it to F-Droid. This is so annoying.

wow what a shit show in the comments

Yeah but that price jump is nuts. I'm sure there's something out there 70% as good for 10% of the price.

That'd be Antenna Pod. It's (IMO) not as good as Pocket Casts, but FOSS is always good.
The thing that keeps me on Pocket Casts is really just the superior queue management. I'll keep checking back on Antenna Pod though

Amazing thank you. I've got the one-year-of-older-price thing for people who were already subscribed.
But seeing as how I don't use any of the features... when that's gone I will be unlikely to renew.

I've been plugging it too, but apparently new users have to pay monthly fees to use it? Maybe there are now better alternatives.

This is not true. The app is free and has no listening limits.
What you can pay for is a web player (for pc), cross device syncing, cloud storage, extra themes, and some other perks.
Been using pocket casts for like 7 years now with no complaints.

I've been pretty happy with how Automattic has handled PocketCasts and the premium features feel like what you'd expect, while the main product is perfectly usable for 90% of people and use cases. I hope with their acquisition of Beeper, they continue this mindset and add premium features (extra themes, premium stickers, etc) without compromising the main app.
