@matt_ellery Sorry didn't read the post right. #Podcatchers are not very good at replaying only archived episodes without the original RSS feed around.

You may want to take a look at #Audiobookshelf for archive playing.

Oh bugger... Just remembered I have to set up a new podcast app as Google's is going away... I just installed PodKicker Pro (I got it a long time ago) and it now has sponsored feeds - nope... Fuck off with that.

So Podcatchers for Android? Don't mind paying a little for a decent one which doesn't keep trying to add unwanted crap...

I’ve been an Overcast user for a long, long time. When iOS 17 beta became available, I decided to try the built-in podcasts app for the first time since the app used a turtle and rabbit to symbolize output speed.
It was fine. I think it probably does a much better job at show discovery.
It insisted, to a fault, to play its queue, apparently defined by when a show is dropped. If there was a setting to stop this, I might’ve stuck w it

I love #PocketCasts, but they have a low-key passive-aggressive streak for podcasters who skip a day of the schedule.

I cannot get #antennapod to alert on new episodes for the life of me. Anyone have any ideas?

@YurkshireLad Pocket Casts is great. The free tier is all I need to keep up with 90+ podcast feeds. iOS and Android both, from Automattic, makers of WordPress. I also like PlayerFM's discovery features fwiw.

That's an expensive mistake, one that can cost a company all the consumer and supplier subsidies it bought with its shareholders' cash.

It's a mistake that Spotify just made, when it pursued its podcast #exclusivity strategy, blowing more than a billion dollars buying up podcasts and then locking them up inside Spotify's walled garden, unreachable unless you use Spotify's client - other #podcatchers need not apply:

I have a huge beef with Apple Podcasts, your whole setup feels wack and lackluster, I’m not a fan.
However, I’m wondering what kind of pod catcher you use, and why if you care to share? #podcasts #podcatchers #audiodrama
I send Webmentions for reads and listens to notify authors, but I’m waiting for reading/podcast apps that will allow me to authenticate and make read/listen posts via micropub automatically, or versions that will send even generic notifications via webmention.

The nice part is that this sort of model allows the user to collect this data and send these notifications on an as-desired basis to the publisher.
