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.

      Switched to Antennapod when abandoning Spotify recently. It’s been great! Way better interface than Spotify’s embarrassingly horrible UI.

      Fine. I finally installed f-droid, because while I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, I am trying to listen to more, and YT Music is ass for finding new podcasts.

      Please give me recommendations for more podcasts that may like based on what I got

        TrashFuture is great if you want to be amused/depressed by tech journalist news.

        Lions Led By Donkeys is a great war history podcast series.

        Neither have ads, which I really value in any podcast. Probably the only reason I don’t subscribe to BtB.

      Another vote for Antennapod.

      Now that it has **rudimentary Ad-Skipping **

      You can set et to skip X seconds in the beginning and Y seconds at the end of each podcast individually.

      Maybe one day we will get Sponsor block integration for crowd sourced ad skipping , or AI using the crowd sourced skip points as a guide to fine-tune skipping on device , ( everyone tends to get different length advertisements , depending on targetting or region )
