I use Funkwhale for my music collection and had my podcasts in there for a while. However, I ended up not listening to my podcasts very much since they were hidden among my much larger music collection.

So I moved my podcasts feeds to FreshRSS, which I was already using for RSS feeds. I like the simplicity of using something that I already had, but it doesn’t have any podcast-specific features like being able to resume where you left off.

Do you have any podcast listening apps that you like?

*edit: I should add that I originally meant “self-hostable applications for storing your podcast subscriptions,” but these phone app recommendations are great to have, too. I might just ditch the server-side of this entirely and just use a separate app on my devices for listening. It would be nice if I only had to subscribe in one place and be able to pick up where I left off across multiple devices, though.

        Never heard of antennapod before I’ve just stuck with pocketcast since day one, what makes antennapod special?

        The settings are way too complicated and defaults are not intuitive. Took me forever to figure out how to purge old downloads I hadn’t listened to. Constant errors when trying to download. Does not want to play video podcasts as audio-only.

      I’ve used so many podcast apps including paid and have never had anything anything anything that comes CLOSE to AntennaPod. I love that it’s foss, libre, all that good stuff.

      I just wish I’d tried it sooner.

        Same, I stuck with podcast addict for so long - once I tried antennapod I didn’t have to switch anymore. I do sync with a selfhosted gpodder though - just to not get hooked on a single app.

      Best podcast app I’ve ever used.

      I would only switch to another app if that could remove the ads from downloaded podcasts :')
