I love Pocket Casts. Sadly I have a hard time recommending it to new people since they switched to subscription model payment. The reason I love it is because of what it was, not what it is. I’m grandfathered into the "pay once, own forever"and if I wasn’t I would probably be using something else these days. I’m still gonna throw it in as a recommendation though, because it’s damn good and people should make up their own minds in whether it is worth the payment.
I have pocket casts set up the way I want it and, as I previously said, own the full featured product for life without extra costs. I just don’t see a reason to.
That’s fine. I was just saying if you wanted to recommend any other options to your friends who ask you, Podcast Republic on Android is a solid choice to consider. That’s all.
I use the free tier and it is very good. Does everything I need. I won’t pay for a subscription for a podcast app, so it’s shame I can’t buy it to show my appreciation.
I feel like podcasts and their apps is what TV and movies should be.
Users pick the app they want to use. They optionally pay a fee or not. The app has any and all TV, Movies, music, etc. they want. In the back end, media rights holders have a pre-defined revenue split agreement.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
For anyone getting this news here. On Android, one of the best replacements is AntennaPod.

I’m a big fan of Podcast Republic. Great dev, feature-rich, and a much improved UI from when I first started using it.

I recommend Podcast Republic. Maybe recommend that to people?
I can’t recommend something I do not use.
So use it for a week 😀 😀

In any case, the free tier is really good.
I went to download it, and apparently I already had! Now to start subscribing to everything again…bleh.
I’ve always been a fan of Pocket Casts personally.

It’s like federated media.
